Two Kids, No Consequences
Alex's POV
~~~~Alex's POV~~~~
"Thank you for everything Alex." Diana hugs me.
I hold her. Tight. I've never met a girl like her. I rest my cheek on her head, inhaling the sent of Diana. She smells like vanilla and flowers and happiness. I don't want to ever let her go. I don't want to tell her my feelings because she just got out of a relationship with that jackass John. I just enjoy the moment, and hold her close.
We seperate from each other and Diana says, "Come on, let's go."
We get in the car and drive in silence. It's a comfortable silence, but I still want to read her mind. All I can think about this whole car ride is how I wanna reach across the seat and hold her hand. To hold her hand forever, and never let it go. I just want to be there for every tear she sheds, every laugh she makes, every night she sleeps. I just want to be right there next to her. I look at her and she looks pretty lost in thought. I drive on, pulling up to my loft. We walk across the street and put her roses on the counter. We look around the loft in silence.
"I still can't believe that this is mine. Thank you. It's perfect, more than I could ever imagine." Diana leans back on my chest. I wrap my arms around her waist and nuzzle my nose against her cheek. She wraps her arms around my arms, lightly stroking them. We stay like that, both enjoying each other.
"Let's go back to my place." I whisper in her ear and kiss her on top of her head. She blushes and keeps her arm wrapped tight around my waist.
I don't know why or how, but I think I've fallen in love with her. It's been 3 days, but all I know is that I have never gotten along with anyone so well before. She makes me the happiest guy in the world. When I first met her in that bookstore, I knew there was something special about her. It wasn't they way she looked, but it was the way she acted. She carried herself with grace, and confidence. That night at the concert, I couldn't get her off of my mind. And the next night when she went back to her place? There was no way I could sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about her, and how badly I wanted her next to me, asleep on my chest.
I realize we are already at my loft, and walking into my bedroom.
"Do you want a drink? Beer, coke, water, anything?" I ask her as she sits down on my bed.
"I'll take a water." She replies smiling.
I go to the kitchen to grab her a glass of water. Jack is sitting on one of the counters just staring at me.
"What do you want?" I ask Jack rolling my eyes.
"I don't want anything. But you do." He smirks at me. "I see the way you look at her. Why haven't you made a move?"
I briefly explain her situation with John to him and he listens to me. I finish the story and he just stares at me.
"And?" He asked me, as if he were waiting for a better reason.
"And nothing man. She just broke up with him. What if I'm just a rebound guy?" I ask him. Jack always had the best advice.
"Look. The night she came to our concert, she came against her boyfriend's will right?" I nod. "Well then she clearly didn't care what he said. If he was turning her into someone she didn't want to be, do you honestly think she was in love with him? From what I can tell, she's crazy about you. You let her be who she wants to be. Granted, it's only been 3 days but I honestly see something there. I don't know man, I think you should talk to her about her and John. Maybe you can figure out then more or less how heartbroken she is."
I give him a very passionate hug purposely to freak him out. "Get off me jackass!" He pushes me off.
I crack up. "Thanks for the advice man."
I make my way back in my room where Diana is lying down, checking her phone.
"Here you go." I place the water on the nightstand and sit in front of her feet. "Can we talk?"
She puts her phone down and sits up. "What's up?"
"Can we talk about you and John? Only if you are ready. I just wanted to know a little more." I fiddle with my thumbs, feeling rude asking.
"I think I owe it to you." She replies. "Well. Where do I begin. John and I met when I was a Junior in highschool. We were really good friends for a while and next thing you know, we were lovers. The first year was perfect, we always knew how to make each other laugh. Then, around 14 months into our relationship, it started to get rocky. He would go out with his friends all of the time. I found myself worried about where he was half the time. He enrolled me in a college and picked out my classes for me. He was always the one to overachieve. He really wanted me to do the same. I would voice things I wanted, and he would shut them down. Piercings, tattoos, crazy hair, all out of the question. And me drinking? Yeah right, forget that. He was the world's biggest hypocrite. About 3 months before I caught him cheating, I suggested we move in. I wanted to move in to keep an eye on him. I found myself sleeping alone at night, and waking up to a hungover John. He always treated me like he knew I would always be there. Like he didn't have to make any effort at all because I will be there no matter what. I wanted to leave him so many times but I couldn't. He was all I knew. I didn't know that there were any other great guys out there. I just figured John was one of the best guys out there." She finishes the story with tears running down your face.
"Are you crying because you miss him?" I ask her, growing sad.
"No, not at all. I don't want to see his face ever again. I'm just crying at how much of my time I wasted being what he wanted me to be, not what I wanted to be." Diana sighs.
I reach across and wipe the tears off of her face. She holds my hand to her face and rubs her cheek on the inside of my palm. It's taking every bone in my body to not grab her up, sit her in my lap, and kiss her all over. She is beautiful, even when she is crying.
"I'm sorry you went through all of that." I said to her, genuinely meaning it.
"It was worth it though, beause I met you. If he had never made me take that job, I would've never met you. And who knows where I would be right now." Diana smiles at me shyly.
I look down at our hands, entertwined. I rub her thumb with mine and just sit there for a second. I look up at her and she's staring right at me, it's as if she's trying to memorize all of my features.
"Do you wanna watch a movie?" I ask her, trying to break this up. I don't want this to happen. Not yet.
"Sure." She replies.
We make our way out to the living room where Jack is sitting there watching yet another episode of Spongebob. He gets up to leave, but before he does he tells me, "Don't forget man, the party is going to start at 9:30."
I look at the clock, it's 8:15. "Do you want to go change?" I ask Diana.
"I guess so." She replies, clearly not too thrilled she has to do something.
"I'll be here waiting, don't worry." I kiss her hand before she goes into my room to change.
This girl has me wrapped around her finger, and I'm loving every second of it.
"Thank you for everything Alex." Diana hugs me.
I hold her. Tight. I've never met a girl like her. I rest my cheek on her head, inhaling the sent of Diana. She smells like vanilla and flowers and happiness. I don't want to ever let her go.
