It's Such A Shame That We Play Strangers
Chapter 9
I woke up with a massive headache, which wanted me to crawl up into a ball and die. It was so sore that I had to bring my hands up to my head.
I tried to pull my hands to my head but I can't. Why can't I? I widened my eyes open as I tilted my head backwards, seeing Alex quietly sleeping next to me. I peeled Alex's arms from around my waist and slowly got up. I sat on the edge of the bed, head in my hands and I took a deep breath in.
'Why can't I remember last night?' I said to myself. I looked back to Alex and frowned. 'What did I do?' I asked myself.
I got off the bed and began to walk out the room when I heard Alex sit up.
'Jack?' Alex questioned. I slowly turned around and looked at him. He looked at me, sleepy eyes, sex type looking hair.
'Hi.' I said as I looked away.
'Where you going?' He questioned.
'I was going to go for a walk. Would you care to join me?' I questioned, immediately regretting the question.
'Yeah, sure. Just first, because I think I know where we are going. You might want to put some shoes on.' Alex said as he began to move off the bed.
'Mmm.' I replied as I walked over to my bed and sat down. I pulled on the shoes I assume I wore last night before walking to the door.
'Alright, let's go.' Alex said as he grabbed my hand. I looked down at it and slowly pulled my hand away. I looked up to him and he looked to me, hurt in his eyes.
I wasn’t quiet to sure why he grabbed my hand, and I knew that I have wanted this for weeks but I don’t understand why he would grab my hand.
I opened the door and walked out, hearing the door close and footsteps behind my own. We walked out the building, walking to the fence and when we reached it, I moved the bin.
‘Jack, why are you acting so weird?’ Alex questioned.
‘Can we talk about it when we get there?’ I replied as I looked up. Alex looked down and nodded his head.
I crawled through the fence before walking to my spot up on the log. As I sat down, Alex was climbing up and once he arrived he sat, a far distance away from me.
‘Now are you willing to talk?’ Alex asked.
‘Honestly Alex, I don’t remember much from last night.’ I replied, looking to him.
‘You don’t remember anything?’ Alex said, squinting his eyes.
‘That’s exactly right. I remember doing my homework, deciding to go to the party, actually arriving, and drinking. I remember that you and Vic got into a fight and then I took you back to our room. We talked and….’ I said before I widened my eyes and looked over to Alex. He smiled as he reached for my hand. He brought it up, leaving a kiss on my hand.
‘And then, we kissed. And I am now your boyfriend.’ Alex finished.
‘Ohh, I remember now, I was so confused as to why I was in your bed.’ I said, moving closer to Alex. I placed my arm around his shoulders as I planted a nice sweet kiss against his neck.
‘Mmm, I do really like you Jack. You aren’t like anyone else.’ Alex said, eyes making contact with mine.
‘I really like you too Alex. I wish we could stay here for today, but we can’t. I have things to hand in and a valid reason as to why I was not in class.’ I replied.
‘You are a nerd. But it is cute.’ Alex said as he lent towards me.
As Alex lent towards me, I started to lean towards him until our lips connected together, creating these little firework explosions happen in my stomach. I haven’t felt like this since Tyler.
As Alex pulled away, he ducked his head into my shoulder as he smiled. I smiled and looked over to him, it bringing a smile to my face.
‘Come on, let’s go.’ I said, making Alex look up and pout.
‘I want to be with you, and just you.’ Alex replied.
‘Not today. And I don’t think I’m ready for an open relationship yet lex.’ I said.
‘I understand. I respect that. But I think everyone will be talking about you today, about what you did last night.’ Alex replied.
‘Great.’ I said, sarcastically.
‘It’s okay, you have Zack, Rian and somewhat me, to protect you.’ Alex said.
‘Thank you. Come now.’ I said, pointing to the path.
Alex got off, and then help me down. His hands held my waist as I jumped. We walked back to the fence in hand in hand. Swinging them back and forth as we told some pretty stupid jokes.
