Two Kids, No Consequences
Never Ever
I woke up to the sound of my phone chiming. I wiggle out of Alex’s naked embrace and check the message. It’s an unknown number responding to my ad on Craigslist. I put my phone back on the bed stand and turn over so I’m facing Alex. He’s already awake, staring at me. All of a sudden, I realize I’m still naked. I pull up the sheets close to my neck.
“Hey you.” I murmur nervously.
“Hey.” He grins at me. “You gonna get back over here?” He gestures towards the spot in front of him.
“I don’t know.” I stammer.
All of a sudden, a look of concern crosses Alex’s face. “Oh my God, please don’t tell me you regret what happened. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have let it get like that. I should’ve known better. I’m so sorry Diana.”
All of a sudden, I remember why I was naked. I didn’t care anymore. I didn’t have to worry because I knew Alex cared about me. I crawled back into his arms and laced our legs together. With my face pressed against his chest, I whisper “No. No regrets. I promise you. Nothing has ever felt so right.”
Alex kisses the top of my head and sighs in relief. “You had me freaked. I don’t want to screw this up.”
I look up at him and kiss him slowly on the lips and bite his bottom lip. He groans slightly and glares at me. I giggle and say, “Come on, let’s shower.”
I hop out of bed and saunter into the bathroom, sarcastically swaying my hips. Alex cracks up and follows close behind. He wraps his hands around my waist and I wince. All of a sudden Alex freezes and looks down at my hip.
“Shit…” He growls.
I look down and see a giant purple, blue, and black spot on my hip from where John kicked me. It just barely missed my piercing. I wince as I rub a finger over it. I look at Alex who looks really scared and angry.
“Hey, look at me.” I grab him under the chin and direct his gaze into my eyes. “I’m ok, just a little tender
okay?” I kiss him cautiously. “Now come on, let’s get in the shower.”
I grab him by the waist and direct him into the tub with me. He seems a little more relaxed, but still pretty tense. I start the water and let it warm up before we hop in. To take his mind off of the bruise, I kiss him tenderly for a long time. He picks up on my hint and meets my passion. We kiss deeply under the water for a while before I reach between us and start stroking his penis. Fuck, I really want to have sex with him. Pretty much every second I look at the kid it’s all I can think about. Alex kisses his way up and down my neck biting it in a few spots. He plants his lips on my neck and sucks. Hard. I can just feel the hickey forming.
I want him. Now.
I take the head of his penis and rub it up and down my clit, hoping he would catch my hint.
“No.” He growls.
I stop, stunned by his anger. “What the hell is wrong Alex?”
He rests his forehead against mine. “Just not now, please believe me. My mind isn’t in the right place. I want to be able to be focused on us and only us. I’m sorry. Trust me I want it too.” He kinda chuckles the last few words.
I nod. “Ok, I trust you.”
We goof around the rest of the shower, washing each other’s hair, blowing bubbles at each other, and pouring shampoo all over each other. Alex and I rinse off, step out of the shower, and grab two towels. We pad into his bedroom where Jack is rummaging through Alex’s closet.
“Hey man.” Jack said. “I’m looking for my ho-OH SHIT.” Jack turns around and realizes I’m there and in a towel too. Alex immediately steps in front of me. I crack up.
“Um. Hi Diana.” Jack mumbles, his face red. “Sorry, I forgot you were even here.”
He runs out of the room and Alex and I collapse on his bed in a fit of laughter. We turn over and look each other in the eye.
“I swear, I’ve never met a girl like you Diana. You are so…perfect.” He kisses the tip of my nose.
“Come on lover boy, let’s get dressed.” I giggle. “Wait. I don’t really have anything to wear. Again. Fuck. I’m gonna have to go back to the house.”
Alex tenses up. “I’m going inside with you this time. I’m not letting you out of my sight.” He tosses a hoodie and pair of basketball pants my way.
I don’t argue with him and get dressed quickly. He does the same and we grab our phones on the way out. We drove in silence to the house. I’m pretty scared and I think Alex is too. We pull up and there’s no sign of John.
Alex and I go into the house. “Diana, let’s just grab everything you possibly can now.”
We spend the next half hour packing all of my clothes, shoes, and belongings. Alex remains pretty quiet and I leave him be. I can’t imagine how he’s feeling. He’s working on packing things in my closet and I’m grabbing stuff out of my drawers. I finish before him and come up from behind him and wrap my legs around his waist.
“Baby?” I ask him.
“Hmm?”
“I don’t blame you for anything. Or hold it against you. What happened, happened. There’s no escaping it.” I tell him quietly.
Alex reaches around to grab me and drags me onto his lap. I curl up in it and rest my head against his chest. “I just feel like…if I had just came in here with you…I could’ve..” His voice trailed off.
“Stop. Now.” I say fiercely. “It’s over. John is the one in the wrong. If you had been here, you would’ve seen him hit me. And then you two would have gotten into a fist fight. So it’s just better this way. Please, for me. I need you here with me, not living in the past with that ‘what could’ve been’.”
He thinks for a second. “You’re right. I’m sorry.”
I kiss him as my apology acceptance. “Now let’s wrap this up. I wanted to clean a little because I have a few people coming by from Craigslist to pick up the furniture.”
I jump out of his lap and begin to clean the living room. A few minutes pass and there’s a knock at the door. As I walk up to it, Alex runs past me and opens it first.
“Hey there, I’m Jake. Here to pick up the couch?” A man in his 30’s says.
“Sure! Right this way.” I say stepping around Alex to shake his hand. Alex and I show the man the couch and help him load it into his truck. He pays me the $220 I asked and goes on his merry way. About 3 more people came and took some furniture. All that is left is the bed and dresser. At the end of the day, I had 950 bucks in my pocket.
Alex had been following me around and helping me out the whole night. Finally, it was 10:30 and definitely time to be done. It had been one hell of a day. We load half of my shit in my car, and the other half in Alex’s.
Alex climbs into his car but I stop him. “Hey.” I hug him tight. “I can’t thank you enough.”
“Anytime.” He says quietly. He kisses the top of my head. “Now get back to your car, let’s go.”
We drive off in the same direction, he follows my car so he knows I am safe. We pull up to my loft and I drop the suitcases and boxes in. Alex begins to warily unpack them.
“Stop.” I grab his hands and kiss his fingers. “There will be time for this another day.”
He smiles gratefully. “Hey, how about we go back to my place and order a pizza. Pretty sure the guys are out for the night.”
I kiss him and walk across the street to his loft with him, hand in hand. We jog up the stairs and enter into the silent loft.
“What do you want to do first?” I ask him, suddenly aware of the fact that it was just us two.
“It’s up to you.” He shrugs.
I grab him by the hand and lead him to the couch. We sit down and I cuddle up close to him. “I want you to talk. You haven’t been the Alex I know today. You’ve been distant and awkward, almost like you feel out of place. Talk to me. I’m not going anywhere until you do.
He sighs. “Diana…I know you keep telling me to forget about John but I can’t. He mistreated you so terribly. You didn’t deserve it. You are the most perfect angel in the world and to see my princess get hurt like that. And know that I was just feet away? It kills me. You have become the center of my world. I just don’t want to lose you and I’m scared you are going to realize your new independence and leave me. Or when I go to tour, that you won’t come with us. I can’t imagine a life without you anymore as crazy as it sounds.”
My heart flutters. I sit there in silence for a few seconds, stunned by what he just said. I knew he cared for me, but not quite THAT much. It was…a relief.
“Alex, the funny thing is. I’ve felt the same in a way. I’ve been scared that you’ll leave me when you go on tour. I’m scared that you’ll realize you are famous again and find some other girl that’s prettier or less complicated. You’ve become the center of MY world at this point. It’s like I don’t want to do anything but be by your side all day.” I blush.
Alex turns to me and kisses me softly. “I will never leave you. Never ever.”
“Never ever.” I whisper back to him.
We sit on the couch cuddling for a few seconds until my stomach rumbled. Alex laughed and patted it. “Let me get my Mac, we can order Domino’s.” Alex gets up and walks to get the laptop. I stare at him as he walks away and can’t help but smile. That’s all mine. And I love every second of it.
“Hey you.” I murmur nervously.
“Hey.” He grins at me. “You gonna get back over here?” He gestures towards the spot in front of him.
“I don’t know.” I stammer.
All of a sudden, a look of concern crosses Alex’s face. “Oh my God, please don’t tell me you regret what happened. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have let it get like that. I should’ve known better. I’m so sorry Diana.”

“Shit…” He growls.
I look down and see a giant purple, blue, and black spot on my hip from where John kicked me. It just barely missed my piercing. I wince as I rub a finger over it. I look at Alex who looks really scared and angry.
“Hey, look at me.” I grab him under the chin and direct his gaze into my eyes. “I’m ok, just a little tender
okay?” I kiss him cautiously. “Now come on, let’s get in the shower.”
