Alex

It was the next day and Rian and Cass were on their way over to mine and Jack’s house, as they kept the kids for the night, so we could set up for their birthday party. My sister helped set up as well, even little Lexi helped to the best of her ability. We had everything ready and set up, and were just waiting for the guests to arrive. I was currently playing my guitar for my sister and Lexi, singing a song I wrote last week.

“Alex!” I heard Jack shout from the bedroom. I stopped in the middle of my song, and set my guitar down.

“I’ll be right back.” I said with a little chuckle. Becca said a little ‘okay’ and smiled at me and I walked away and went down the hall to our bedroom. When I entered the room I saw Jack laying down on the bed with his legs over the edge.

“What’s up, babe?” I asked as I stood in front of him.

“Can you get me a shirt from our closet?” He asked, as his shirtless body relaxed more.

“How about you get your lazy butt up and do it yourself. Plus, I was singing for Becca and Lexi.”

“I know. I heard the voice of an angel from the living room, I knew it was you.” He smiled at me. I giggled and fell down onto him, laying on top of him. He let out a little grunt and chuckled before wrapping his bare arms around me, keeping my close to him. It was little moments like this that made me remember why I fell in love with this boy in the first place. “I love you, Alex.”

“I love, Jack.” I spoke before placing a quick kiss on his lips. “Alright. Let me up, you need to get ready. The guests will be here soon. Well, I’m sure people won’t mind if you walk around without a shirt, they are used to the way you act anyways.”

“Is that my permission to be shirtless for the day?” He asked with a smile. He never was a fan of clothing.

“If you wanna be shirtless. Fine. But only because the party is taking place here in our house.” I then placed another peck on his lips before shrugging his arms off my back and standing up. He stood up with me and grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the room and making our way down the hall and back into the living room.

“Uh Jack, I think you forgot a shirt.” Becca said with a small laugh.

“Nope. Alex gave me permission to not have a shirt on for the day.” He sent her a smile as he spoke. She looked over to me with confusion on her face.

“Jack’s not a fan of clothing. Pretty much everyone who is coming knows that. And come on sis, you would be lying if you said he didn’t have a nice body.” I smirked at her as I ran a hand down Jack’s chest, making him chuckle.

“He’s all yours, bro.” Becca laughed.

“Uncle Alex.” Little Lexi said as she tugged on my jeans. I bent down to her height and spoke.

“Yeah Lexi?” I asked with a smile. She came closer to me and whispered into my ear.

“Uncle Jack is cute.” She giggled as she stepped away from me.

“Trust me. I know.” I laughed. “Is that you telling me you have a little crush on Uncle Jack?” I asked as I used my finger to ‘boop’ her nose. She nodded her head and smiled at me. “Okay, well, I guess we can share him.” I had a goofy smile on my face when I spoke, she was adorable.

“Alex, you are so good with kids, how?” Becca asked as I stood back up and Lexi went over to her.

“Don’t know. Guess I just had some pretty good practice over the years. Plus, I have always liked kids.” I answered honestly. I walked back over to my guitar that was laying on the ground, and sat down setting it back in my lap. Jack took a seat next to me and smiled.

“Sing for me my love.” He spoke as he put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

“All depends. What song did you have in mind?” I questioned him.

“A Daydream Away.” I should have known he was going to say that song. Every time I have my guitar out, he asks me to sing it for him. He showed me how to play the chords he wrote for the song, and they honestly go together perfectly. I sent him a smile and nodded my head before playing the starting chords and soon singing along to the rhythm I was strumming.

We had the chance to play a few more songs, Jack getting his guitar out and playing with me for a couple of them as well. There was a knock on the door, and a smile lit up on my face.

“Go answer the dork, loser. I’ll put our guitars up.” I said as I stood on my feet and took his guitar from him. He stood up as well and placed a kiss on my lips before walking over to the door and answering it as I went down the hall to our room and hung our guitars back up on the wall where they belong.
I walked back out into the living room and I was shocked at who I saw standing there awkwardly as they looked around the house.

“What the hell do you think you are doing here?” I asked from behind them as I crossed my arms. My voice making them turn around quickly.

“Alex. Hi. It’s been years.” She said awkwardly. I’m pretty sure she knew I still hated her for her actions, even if it was three years ago. “The blue hair really suits you.”

“Answer my damn question, Steph.” I spoke.

“I wanted to see my kids.” She said slowly.

“First off. They are not your kids anymore. You gave up that right the day you let me sign those papers. You said you wanted nothing to do with their lives. I’m not letting you come back three fucking years later and try and see them. Get the fuck out of my house.”

Notes

Steph, who do you think you are? Trying to come and see the kids?!
Not when sass queen Alex is around.
