Alex laid in his bed looking straight up at the ceiling, lost in a combination of daydream and nightmare. The best moment of his life thus far (well, tied with his first performance with All Time Low) had just occurred. The way Alex and Victoria’s lips moved in sync had been complete bliss. But it was immediately followed by complete agony. Victoria walking away. Not accepting the ride home. Had she not felt that spark? Alex may have just ruined his best friendship and all he could do was stare at the ceiling. Then, there was a knock at the door followed by the unmistakable sound of the door opening, accompanied by a familiar voice.
“Alex, dude, are you home? I have food!” Jack. Alex groaned and rolled over onto his stomach. For half a second he thought it might be Victoria at the door, coming to admit that she loved him and she was just intimidated by the daunt of that amazing kiss. Alex would pull her inside, close the door, push her up against a wall, and do what he’d longed to do for awhile now. But Jack was at the door instead. If it weren’t for the food, Alex might not have responded.
“Yeah,” Alex muffled into a pillow, “In my room.” Alex heard Jack’s footsteps, loud but quick, bouncing up the stairs. Alex’s bedroom door swung open. Jack closed it behind him and sat on Alex’s bed, handing Alex two tacos from Taco Dog and keeping another two for himself. Jack devoured his first taco within seconds. He was already working on his second taco before he realized his best friend wasn’t touching his food.
“What’s up?” Jack asked, setting his taco down. Shit was definitely serious if Jack put down food.
“Nothing, man. It’s just…Victoria.” Alex said, laying on his stomach and hesitantly picking up a taco and taking a tiny bite.
“What about her?” Jack frowned, taking Alex eating the taco as a signal that is was alright to keep eating.
“I—I kissed her.” Jack almost coughed up the ridiculous amount of taco stuffed in his mouth.
“What?” Alex only nodded. “Wow, I never thought she’d be that bad of a kisser. I mean, not enough for you to get all upset about it. Maybe she can work on it. Damn, that’s upsetting. I always thought her lips looked totally kissable. I would make out with her if I weren’t waiting for you two to get together.” Alex groaned and dug his face into the pillow.
“She’s an amazing kisser. It was ecstasy.” Alex said. “And what do you mean you were waiting for us to get together?”
“Oh.” Jack said, clearly confused as to how this was a problem. “Everyone knows you two are into each other. You’re both hot as hell and you’ve been friends forever. Just the way you two look at each other turns Zack on.” Alex made a face.
“Stop right there, man.” Alex’s face perked up slightly for the first time, “And did you just say I was ‘hot as hell?’” Alex smirked. Jack disregarded the question.
“So why is kissing the girl you’re obviously head over heels for and it being absolutely perfect a problem?” Jack asked. His eyes went wide. “She didn’t find your porn stash, did she?” Alex rolled his eyes.
“I don’t think she felt what I felt. She just ran off after the kiss. Wouldn’t even let me give her a ride home.” Alex said, distraught.
“Well then,” Jack says ,”Sounds like you caught her off guard. I know how to fix it.” Alex was immediately horrified. “We’ll have to set you two up on a little date.”
