Two Kids, No Consequences
Quarantine
“Your stitches are waterproof, but should be taken care of. When you get out of the shower, pat them dry lightly. Also, I would refrain from applying heat to the area. No blow-drying, straightening, or curling your hair. Try to avoid putting shampoo or conditioner on the direct area for a few days. Do not engage in any strenuous activity. Make sure to go to your local hospital in 10 days to have them removed. Just sign here and you are free to go.” The nurse hands me my release papers.
I sign eagerly and hightail it the hell out of there with Jack and Alex by my side. It’s 10 and I still haven’t packed or anything. Not to mention, Jack and Alex should be at a bar right now.
We hop in Alex’s car and speed home back to the loft. Alex and I sit in the back seat. As he gently strokes my arm, I cuddle up into his shoulder. Instinctively, he wraps his arms around me, letting me relax into him. I lean in to kiss his neck, feeling his neck tense as he smiles.
This. This is home. I don’t regret telling John no for one damn second.
We pull up to the loft and Alex gently slides me onto his lap. I look up at him in the dark, confused. Jack opens the car door and Alex exits the car, carrying me with him like a baby. I look in front of me and see a hotel. I glance at Jack who is grinning from ear to ear.
“Anyone want to explain why we are at a hotel?” I laugh.
“It’s my last night with my girl too ya know.” He winks at us. “Plus Alex has some gay ass plan with you back at home.”
“You’re just mad you don’t get to be a part of it.” Alex laughs at him.
“What about tomorrow? What time do we leave out?” I ask.
“Tomorrow we are gonna pick Jack up at around 11. From there, we meet Zach and Rian at the tour bus and hit the road. Jack has his bag packed so we will just grab it on our way out. We would have earlier but we were in a tad bit of a rush to get to you.” Alex half smiles.
“Wow.” I say, speechless. “I guess its settled then. Have fun with your girl Jack.” I wink at him.
“Have fun with my boy.” He laughs back at me, ruffling my hair.
“Ready?” Alex murmurs in my ear.
I nod my head and nuzzle in closer to him. He walks me around to the passengers seat and sets me in. He closes the door gently as I buckle up my seat belt.
Alex climbs into the driver’s seat and plugs his iPod into the radio. A very familiar, quiet beat plays through his speakers.
I never meant to wither, I wanted to be tall.
Like a fool left the river, and watched my branches fall.
“I didn’t know you listened to Lights.” I tell him, enjoying the sound of her voice.
“Sometimes. She can be so relaxing.” Alex smiles at me.
He reaches over with his right hand and intertwines it with my left one. I smile and lift his hand up to my lips, kissing the back of it gently. His thumb rubs over my hand and we ride into the night.
Just as the song finishes, we pull up to the loft. I get out of the car and Alex rushes to help me walk.
“Alex, I hurt my head, not my legs.” I laugh at him.
“Just making sure. Last thing I need is you hurting yourself again.” He grins at me.
We walk up the stairs and head into the living room. I smile at Alex who gestures to the bathroom.
“You’ve been in the hospital. Who knows what kind of germs you have all over you.” He sticks his tongue out at me.
“You are such a germaphob!” I tease him.
“QUARENTINE! QUARENTINE!” Alex yells running over to me taking my clothes off furiously.
Alex strips me down and holds me to his body tight, still repeating “quarantine”. I crack up and try to squirm out of his embrace. He holds onto me tighter and I look up at him. He smiles down at me and kisses me on the lips lightly. His hands travel south and curl themselves around my butt. I lean closer into him, moaning on his neck.
“You know what I want to do right now?” He whispers in my ear, still grabbing my ass.
“No, what?” I whimper.
“Get you in the fucking shower.” He cracks up and quickly picks me up.
“Alex!!” I squeal as he runs me into the bathroom. “Put me down!”
He puts me down, but in the bathtub. I groan as he starts the water for me.
“What’s the big deal with this shower?” He asks me.
“I hate being away from you that’s what.” I reply, throwing myself a little pity party.
“Do you not realize I was right next to you in that hospital bed? I need to shower too.” Alex winks at me.
I grin from ear to ear and reach out for him. He walks over to me and I pull his shirt off over his head. I undo his belt buckle and yank his pants and boxers down. He steps out of them and into the shower.
I’m honestly in no sexual mood whatsoever. It’s been a pretty long day and I just want to be in Alex’s arms. Unfortunately, we are both wet, naked, and in a shower. Not to mention the boner Alex has formed.
“Babe, do you mind if we don’t do anything sexual?” He asks me, looking ashamed.
I crack up and throw my arms around him. “You must be a fucking mind reader because I was thinking the same thing. Why do you have a boner if you don’t want to have sex?”
“Just because I don’t want sex, doesn’t mean you are any less sexy to my penis right now.” Alex laughs pulling me close to him.
I rest my head against his chest and let the water fall over us. I separate from him and grab the shampoo, carefully applying it to my hair. I avoid the gash on the back of my head and wash what I can. I hand the shampoo bottle to Alex and I scrub my hair. I close my eyes and rinse the shampoo out. I open my eyes and see Alex staring at me.
“What?” I ask him, genuinely confused.
“You are so beautiful.” He smiles softly. “I swear, I have no idea how I got so lucky.”
I giggle and step out of the way so he can rinse his hair. We finish up our shower, kissing each other randomly throughout it. I turn the water off and Alex gets us towels. I wrap myself up tightly in the white fluffy towel Alex handed me and smile.
“Ready?” Alex asks me grinning.
“For?” I ask.
He throws his hands over my eyes and shuffles me forward. He takes one hand and opens the door connecting his room to the bathroom. Alex has me walk across his floor and sit on the bed, but keep my eyes closed.
“Okay open them.” Alex commands.
I open my eyes and see pitch darkness. All of a sudden, I hear a click and see multi-colored Christmas lights strewn across Alex’s walls. His room is now radiantly glowing with so many colors. I gasp and look at Alex who is standing by the plug, grinning proudly.
“Get over here.” I tell him.
He walks over to me and I pull him onto the bed next to me. I crawl under the covers, throwing my towel on the floor and Alex does the same. I curl onto his chest and smile.
“This is too perfect Alex. I swear I don’t know what I did to get you.” I kiss his chest, totally 100% content with this moment.
“You are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. The fact that I can be myself with you makes me so happy. I can’t wait for this tour, it will be so perfect. As long as I have you by my side, I’m the happiest man in the world.” He kisses my forehead.
“I love you Alex. Don’t ever doubt that.” I angle my face towards his. He meets me halfway with a kiss that sets my heart on a marathon.
This kiss was different. It wasn’t sexual, but it wasn’t a quickie. It was a long, passionate, I’m in love with you kiss. It had so much feeling behind it that my heart just about exploded.
“I think I’m in love with you Alex.” I whisper, looking into his eyes.
“I think I’m in love with you too.” He grins and kisses me.
To me, loving someone, and being in love with someone are two totally different things. You can love someone, but not have that connection of being in love. When you are in love with someone, there is no going back. You are pretty much screwed, but in a good way. This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I’m really in love with someone, and it’s a little scary. Alex has my heart in his hands and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it.
“Go to sleep my angel.” Alex interrupts my thoughts. “I’ll be here in the morning, and the morning after that, and the morning after that.” He kisses the tip of my nose.
He turns on his side, pulling me next to his body. I turn on my side, letting my back fit perfectly in the curves of his stomach. He snakes his arm around my waist and rubs my stomach lightly.
“I love you Diana. Sweet dreams.” Alex whispers.
“I love you too Alex. Goodnight.” I whisper back.
I sign eagerly and hightail it the hell out of there with Jack and Alex by my side. It’s 10 and I still haven’t packed or anything. Not to mention, Jack and Alex should be at a bar right now.
We hop in Alex’s car and speed home back to the loft. Alex and I sit in the back seat. As he gently strokes my arm, I cuddle up into his shoulder. Instinctively, he wraps his arms around me, letting me relax into him. I lean in to kiss his neck, feeling his neck tense as he smiles.
This. This is home. I don’t regret telling John no for one damn second.
We pull up to the loft and Alex gently slides me onto his lap. I look up at him in the dark, confused. Jack opens the car door and Alex exits the car, carrying me with him like a baby. I look in front of me and see a hotel. I glance at Jack who is grinning from ear to ear.
