Whiskey princess, drink me under, pull me in.

Oh, God. Look at him sitting on my couch, his caramel hair falling perfectly over his forehead and his brown eyes staring right in my direction. Why did I let myeslf get into this? I don't even know how long he'll be in town. It could only be today, it could be for another week. He probably doesn't even see me the same way I see him. Alex always had a way with words, and even after all the shit we've been through, I don't know which ones to believe.

What the fuck am I doing?

Pouring drinks. I'm pouring two glasses of whiskey on the rocks, but for what reason? Am I trying to get him drunk so that he can't leave? Shit, what if it's like the night we drank the hard apple cider that Jack's mom prepared for us? Should I turn on some music, should I dance for him again?

"I do hope that one of those is for me," Alex smiled as I sat the drinks down on the table. "Come on, Jen, loosen up."

"H-How long are you in town for, Alex?"

"Well, I'm supposed to leave tonight.." Alex eyed me, that damn smirk playing on his lips. "But all it takes is a phone call to change that."

"Do you want to stay longer?"

"I don't know," he whispered, leaning closer to me. "Do I?"

I can't stop myself when I'm around him. He starts a fire in my heart and the only way to put it out is to become one with him. In my moment of weakness, I down every last drop of the contents in my cup, slam the glass down on the table, and lunge at him. Alex caught me in his arms, his lips instantly going for my own. We wrestle for a while, struggling to see which one of us was dominate after all these years. I pinned him down on the couch, and though he was jerking under my weight, his hips were bucking against my spread legs, making me moan his name. Alex smirked, rolling us over so that he was on top. He now pinned my hands against my head and began kissing down my neck. The smell of the whiskey on his breath made me crave him even more. It'd been so long, too long, since I'd felt such bliss.

"Tell me that you're staying," I whispered, making Alex look up from my chest, where he was trying to kiss his way under my shirt. "I'm not doing this if you're just going to leave again."

"I can't stay forever, Jenna," Alex sat up. The lust was still in his eyes, I could still feel the buldge in his pants against my thigh. "Why should I stay? Give me one good reason."

"I want you to.." My voice trailed. I didn't want to need him so badly. "I love you, you know that already."

"I love you too," he whispered, brushing a strand of blonde hair out of my face. "But that doesn't mean I can give up my whole life for you. I tried that once and you fell through."

"Don't think it hasn't been hard on me, too. I have one friend in this town, Alex, and that's Char. I am lonely. I am miserable. I don't want to let myself get caught up in the feeling of having you here just to feel alone again."

"Be reasonable," Alex averted his gaze. The lust was draining from his eyes, and his dick. I was foolish to think he would understand. He had everything, he didn't need me anymore. "Even if I did stay, it would only be for a couple of more days. Touring isn't by choice, it's my job, I am obligated to do it. Did you think I'd tell you that I could stay forever and we could fall madly in love and get married, Jen?"

I'm already madly in love.. I didn't speak the words, I simply shrugged, trying to think of a way to explain this to him. He didn't have to swear himself to me, but at the very least, could he could promise to care about me when he was gone.

"What about friends?" I eyed him, propping myself up on my elbows. "You don't have to fall in love with me and marry me, but could you just stay a few days and be my friend?"

"We were never friends, Jenna," Alex laughed, shaking his head. "But if that's what you want, fine. I'll stay as long as I can."

Like someone flicked a switch, it was back. He was tugging at my clothes and kissing my body with force. How good it felt, to get lost in him again, to feel every inch of his flesh, to be loved once more.

You had me at come over, boy, I need a friend. I understand.
