Author's Note: For those that have been waiting for a sequel to JWA, I'm terribly sorry for the long wait :/ But alas, here it is! Oh and I decided to do this in two chapters. So the faster you review, the faster the second chapter gets put up. Hey, I'm just being honest. I am a little ashamed to admit that the title was inspired by Love Story by Taylor Swift.
Disclaimer: I don't own Wizards of Waverly Place, the characters, or blahblahblah.
"So wasn't that like the best movie ever?!" Harper exclaimed as she and Alex exited the movie theater.
Alex didn't seem to hear her redheaded friend and only continued walking with a far-off expression on her face. Harper regarded her wizard friend with an expectant look, but she got no reply from the dark haired girl. Alex simply kept on walking at a fast pace and the redheaded girl, sporting a dress made out of god-knows-what material, struggled to keep up with her. Once she caught up to her, she elbowed her gently at first. Failing to get a reaction, she elbowed her a little harder the second time. Alex's dazed look didn't falter. The third time Harper elbowed her with a little bit too much force; but it got Alex's attention.
"What?" Alex finally responded, idly rubbing her ribcage. She noticed the irritated look on her best friend's face. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Harper huffed in response and rolled her eyes. "I was talking and you weren't even paying attention!" Harper whined.
Alex quirked a brow. Like this a first, The wizard thought to herself. "I'm sorry." Alex tried to appear sincere but the redhead knew her too well. "I have a lot on my mind," Alex said through a sigh and briefly looked away from Harper.
"I knew it!" Harper shouted, causing a few people around them to bewilderedly look at them. Harper ignored the extra attention and pointed a finger at the dark haired girl. "It's a boy, isn't it? 'Cause you're totally in like crush mode. Not paying attention to me..." No that's all the time, Harper. "...and that glazed over look you had a few minutes ago. Okay, so who is he?!" Harper inquired excitedly.
The wizard shook her head at her over-excited friend. "There's no boy." Which was completely true, but Harper skeptically looked at her. "Seriously Harper! If I liked a boy, you'd be the first I'd tell." Which was usually true. But in this case she wouldn't since it was a certain vampire girl occupying her mind.
Harper mulled over the wizard's words for a few minutes. She gave this shrug/nod maneuver before linking her arm with Alex's. "I'm sorry for that accusation," Harper said sincerely as they continued their walk towards an intersection.
"It's okay," Alex mumbled and eyed the intersection they'd be parting at with a relieved sigh.
It's not like she hated being around Harper. She just really wanted to get back home to see if she had a visitor.
"So what did you think of the movie?" Harper asked, keeping her eyes trained on the street in front of them.
Alex panicked slightly and briefly looked at the redhead who was still looking straight ahead. She honestly hadn't paid the slightest attention to the movie they had just seen. She didn't even know the name of the movie. "Well...it was alright. But the main character-Hey look at the time I gotta get home!" Alex said once they reached the street where they would take different paths home.
"But your curfew isn't until-"
"Yeah, but Justin just texted me saying Dad wants me home. Probably 'cause Justin falsely accused me of something," Alex interjected while waving her hands frantically.
"Hmmm...I didn't see you check your phone," Harper stated with a suspicious look before it seemed like something dawned upon her. "Oh! It must be like some wizard mind texting thing, right?"
Alex fought the urge to laugh and merely nodded enthusiastically. "Oh and Justin said...um "hey"..." Alex replied lamely.
Harper's expression immediately changed at the mention of Alex's older brother saying something to her. She had this goofy grin plastered on her face. "Well in that case, tell him I said "hey" also. And-"
"Ok! Bye Harper! I had fun!" Alex cut off her friend as she waved quickly before practically running towards Waverly Sub Station.
Harper waved slightly, although the dark haired girl was nearly out of sight. "That girl is so weird sometimes," Harper said to herself as she turned in the direction of her own home.
Once Alex bounded into the Sub Station, she noticed her older brother moping the floor, sans magic. She rolled her eyes at her dork of a brother. If she was forced to clean up the Sub Station, she would most definitely use magic. She made her way over to the stairs, but swiftly turned around to address her brother.
"So did your freakish nature finally scare Juliet away?" Alex impassively asked. She didn't want to pass up an opportune time to tease Justin.
Justin scoffed and turned to look at his little sister. "No, you callow little girl. My sweet Juliet had to return to the Late Nite Bite to help her parents," Justin replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
Alex gave a humorless laugh and began walking up the stairs. "I'm sure," She dryly commented. "Oh and Justin," She called, pausing momentarily on the stairs. He turned to look at her with an annoyed look. "You're the immature one. I mean you're the one who still plays with dolls for crying out loud!" And with that said, Alex went up the stairs.
"They're action figures!" She heard Justin shout.
Alex laughed and shook her head. She hated when Justin tried to insult her intelligence by using words he thought she didn't know.
When she entered the living room, she saw Max seated on the couch she and Juliet had almost-
"I am so paralyzed!" Max hollered to no one in particular. "Oh! Hey Alex. How did that sound?"
Alex shook off the annoyance she suddenly felt at seeing her younger brother. He was still up to his impressions. "And who are you supposed to be now?" Alex asked uninterestedly.
Max gave her a disbelieving look and she looked back at him with an unreadable expression. "Ricky Bobby! You know, Will Ferrell? Talladega Nights?"
"Right. Okay, goodnight. And enjoy your time here while you can," The dark haired girl mumbled as she made her way up to her room. She was still intent on getting her little brother out of the house for the summer.
"What?" Max asked, looking over his shoulder confusedly.
"Oh nothing," Alex retorted and disappeared from his line of sight.
Alex seemed to be holding her breath as she turned the knob to open her door. She tried to shake off the anxiousness she was feeling and stepped into her dark room. She flipped up the light switch and hastily scanned her room. She released the breath she'd been holding and felt a little disappointed to find she was alone. She walked over to her window, which was already unlocked and she let out a frustrated groan. She pulled out her phone to scroll through her contacts. Once Juliet's name was highlighted, she selected SEND TXT MESSAGE and swiftly typed on the keyboard.
My window is unlocked.
Once that was sent, she placed her phone and wand on the bedside table. She looked around her room again before deciding she'd take a relaxing shower. She grabbed her towel before exiting her room to use the bathroom across the hall that she shared with her two brothers. She closed and locked the door behind her and then proceeded to the shower to turn on the water. She set it to a comfortable temperature and then stripped off her attire. She moaned as the warm shower needles came into contact with her skin. As she began washing her body, she couldn't help but think that perhaps Juliet wouldn't visit her that night. She then regretted sending that text message. Alex hated clingy people and that's exactly how she'd felt after texting Juliet.
Maybe she realized what we had done earlier was wrong on so many levels. And not just the fact that we're both girls, but she's my brother's girlfriend! Ugh this is all so messed up. But I can't help the way I feel about her. And those eyes and cool lips on my skin. And her cold fingers on my-
Alex could feel goosebumps rising on her skin even with the warm temperature the water was set on. She forced thoughts of Juliet from her mind and tried to think of anything else. She quickly finished her shower, dried her body off, and then dried her hair before making her way into her room wrapped only in a towel. She fought the urge to look around her room and kept her eyes on her phone as she walked over to it. She retrieved her phone as she sat on her bed and slowly flipped it open. She smiled when she realized she had a new text message and opened it. Her smile faltered a little when she realized it was from her mom.
Dont 4get to brush ur teeth b4 u go to bed sweetie!
Alex rolled her eyes at how her mom tried to text like she was cool. She shut her phone and put it back on the bedside table and lied back on her bed. She turned her head to look at the window that still remained unlocked, but unopened. She thought about getting up to put on her pajamas, but she figured she'd lay there a little while longer. After awhile, her eyelids started to feel heavy and she tried to shake off the sleepiness and was successful for a couple of minutes. But once her eyes finally slipped shut, she succumbed to sleep.
-Earlier-
Juliet picked up her vibrating phone off of the coffee table and offered an apologetic look to Justin. He just shrugged and smiled before turning back to the movie.
"We need you home now!" Alucard Van Heuson's voice said through the device.
Juliet cringed at the tone. "Why?" She whined.
"It is imperative that you return home at this moment!" Alucard shouted and Juliet could hear her mother in the background telling him to calm down.
"Fine," Juliet huffed and ended the call. She stood from the couch as did Justin. "My parents need me home. Probably to help out at the restaurant." Or daddy probably lost control and drained one of the customers.
Justin nodded in understanding and leaned in to kiss Juliet on the lips. She turned her head at the last second and his lips met her cheek instead. He pulled away and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Bye," Juliet said before dashing out the back door.
When Juliet arrived to the empty Late Nite Bite, she was bombarded by her parents.
"Sit," Her father demanded, pointing to the seat across from himself and Cindy.
Before she could even get in a word, her mother spoke.
"Juliet, dear. It's about time you started thinking about a mate. You're old enough to the point where you should consider who you want to spend the rest of eternity with. And if you're thinking about that Justin boy, you need to tell us now," Cindy Van Heuson said clutching her daughter's hand.
Juliet looked at her mother incredulously. Did they really think she wanted to be with Justin Russo for the rest of her existence? Sure she cared for the boy, but she didn't think she could put up with him for the centuries to come. Before she could get in a reply her father spoke suddenly.
"If it is that Russo boy, you need to reconsider," Alucard brashly stated. "Or I will release my wrath upon-"
"Yeah, yeah. I know daddy," Juliet interjected, waving off her father's comment. "Could you two please not worry so much? I'll find my mate eventually. There's plenty of time." Cindy opened her mouth to speak, but Juliet cut her off. "It's not Justin."
Cindy and Alucard didn't bother to hide their relieved expressions. "Well now that this has been touched on, we'll discuss it more later," Alucard commented and stood from the round table they were seated at. "Cindy?"
"You can go ahead. I'll be down in a bit," Cindy replied to her husband, who flashed her a fanged smile before disappearing downstairs. "So do you have anybody in mind?"
Juliet shrugged and looked away from her mother.
"I thought you really liked this Justin."
"I do...it's just-I-well...I don't think he's the one for me. Besides I doubt he'd be too interested in the idea of becoming a bloodthirsty monster."
Cindy frowned at her daughter. "Is that how you see us? Bloodthirsty monsters?" Juliet met her mother's eyes and nodded. "Honey, we're not monsters. Well...our family isn't. I mean you're father has gone a little bit blood crazy, but he's working on it."
Juliet shrugged again. It was true they were less violent than most of the other vampires, but still she had taken so many lives in her lifetime.
"Mom, I just don't know how I'm going to find someone that really wants to be with me for all of eternity. I mean what if they just want me to turn them so they can benefit from the "perks" of being a vampire?" Juliet said solemnly.
"You'll know when you meet that person. Who knows, they could be right around the corner," Cindy replied with a look Juliet couldn't quite place.
Juliet briefly thought of Alex and immediately shook her head at the thought. Alex wouldn't want to spend an eternity with her. She had so many options and so many boys were already lined up to date the beautiful wizard.
Juliet's cellphone that was in the middle of the table begin vibrating. She hesitated before lifting the object to see that she had a new text message from Alex. If her heart was functioning, she knew it would've been beating rapidly just at the sight of wizard's name on her cellphone screen.
My window is unlocked.
Juliet thought about replying, but decided against it. She was beginning to rethink visiting the dark haired girl. She tried to justify her actions earlier by telling herself that she was merely attracted to Alex's scent and that was it. But she knew that there was more to it than Alex's appealing, unique smell. Her feelings went deeper and she was afraid of what could happen if she went to Alex's room that night...
She placed the phone back onto the table and noticed her mother looking at her with a curious expression. "Sorry. You can continue," Juliet said, and gave her mother her undivided attention.
The two Van Heuson women continued talking for a couple of hours and Cindy told Juliet stories about how she met Alucard. Juliet was genuinely interested in hearing the story about how her parents met and how Cindy just knew he was the right one.
"You know, your father and I are rather fond of the Russo girl," Cindy stated. Juliet raised an eyebrow at the random statement. "We already told her she'd make a wonderful vampire. She's so witty and just as conniving as we are. She seems to really like you. She's always in here asking for you or talking about you. You two are close, right?"
Juliet looked down at her hands that were placed in her lap. She nodded, refusing to meet her mother's eyes.
"Well just remember," Cindy said and scooted her chair back to rise from the table. "You're mate could be right around the corner." And with that said, Cindy bid her daughter goodnight and went downstairs to join her husband.
Juliet stared at the door her mother had disappeared through. What in the world was she hinting at? She thought to herself. She glanced at the time on her phone which read 12:53AM. She bit her bottom lip and considered going to see Alex. She dashed to the room she shared with her parents and swiftly changed into her pink nightgown before dashing out of the Late Nite Bite.
During her walk, she had to convince herself that she was only going to talk to Alex and get things straightened out. The closer she got to the Waverly Sub Station, the stronger the scent of wizard became. She walked around to the alley and scanned the area to make sure nobody else was around. She then began to concentrate on her wings, which then began to extend from her back. Once her bat wings were fully extended, she flew upwards until she reached Alex's window. She landed on the ledge that left enough standing room, and her wings began to withdraw back into her body. She lifted her hand to open the window, but found herself hesitating. She took a deep breath and opened the window and climbed into the wizard's room. She was immediately hit with the unique scent that Alex possessed.
"Alex?" Juliet softly called. She spotted the girl lying on her bed in nothing but a towel. She walked over to the bed and sat down beside the girl. She was intrigued by the sight of the sleeping girl and couldn't help but watch the rise and fall of her chest, her slightly parted lips, and the way the moonlight shined brilliantly on her sleeping figure. The vampire managed to snap herself out of the trance she was in and gently roused the dark haired girl.
"I didn't take your dolls, Justin," Alex mumbled, her eyes clenched tight.
"Alex, it's me, Juliet. Please wake up," Juliet said while stroking Alex's cheek.
Alex groaned and her eyes slowly opened. She looked up at the face that was hovering above hers and gasped. She abruptly sat up and glared at the grinning vampire.
"What're you doing here?" Alex questioned and made sure her towel was still secured around her body.
"I came to see you, silly," Juliet retorted and kept her eyes focused on the dark eyes instead of on the body that was barely concealed by the towel.
Alex looked away from the light brown haired girl and tried to hide her blush. "I didn't think you were coming. I texted you and you never responded," Alex mumbled.
Juliet cupped Alex's cheek and turned the girl's face so she would look at her. "I'm sorry. I should have replied, but...honestly,I was having second thoughts..."
"Oh," Alex said lamely.
"I mean I'm glad I came 'cause I really wanted to see you-"
"But?"
"But I'm afraid of this," Juliet said gesturing between their bodies with her free hand.
"What's there to be afraid of? I want you, you want me," Alex said leaning her face against the hand cupping her cheek.
"Exactly what is it that you want, Alex? Sex?" Juliet inquired, pain evident in her light brown eyes.
"No! Of course not! I really really like you Juliet," Alex said, covering Juliet's hand with her own.
Juliet smiled slightly but still wasn't convinced. "Are you sure I'm not just using my vampire hypnotism on you?"
Alex pulled away from the vampire slightly. "That would be so uncool if you were," Alex whispered with narrowed eyes.
Juliet laughed and leaned her face closer to the wizard's. "Well I'm not. I guess you really do like me then." Juliet tried to lean in to kiss the dark haired girl, but the other girl backed away.
"And what about you? Is this just about fucking? Or do you really like me?" Alex asked folding her arms across her chest with a stern look.
Juliet contemplated her answer. "I'm quite taken with you, Alex Russo." Alex blushed again and Juliet grinned at the sight. "Do I get a kiss now?" Juliet asked sweetly and batted her eyelashes at the wizard.
Alex laughed and place her hands on either side of the vampire's face and brought their faces closer together. Alex brushed her lips against Juliet's cool ones and Juliet groaned with frustration.
"Alex?" Juliet murmured against the soft lips.
"Yeah?" The wizard breathed out in reply.
"Please kiss me."
Alex obliged without hesitation and pressed her lips firmly against Juliet's. They both moaned with satisfaction and scooted their bodies closer together. The two girls continued softly kissing each other, simply enjoying the feel of their lips moving over one another's. Juliet placed her hand on Alex's shoulder and gently pushed and Alex broke the kiss and lied back down. Juliet lustfully regarded the wizard and felt her canines extending.
"Why are you wearing a towel?" Juliet asked, tracing the bottom hem of the towel.
"Well I had taken a shower and then came back to lie down. I kinda fell asleep before I could put my pajamas on." Alex squirmed a little under the vampire's intense gaze.
"Are you sure that's why? Or were you thinking about something else for when I showed up?" Juliet joked...somewhat.
Alex scoffed. "And you make it seem like my mind is always in the gutter-"
"This isn't about fucking, Alex." Juliet maneuvered herself so she was lying on top of the wizard and straddled one of her thighs. Alex skeptically raised an eyebrow. "I want to make love to you," Juliet whispered, looking the dark haired girl straight in the eye.
Alex seemed at a lost for words and she seemed to be searching the vampire's eyes for any hint of insincerity. "I-I don't know what to say," Alex stuttered, her cheeks painted red.
"Just say yes," Juliet murmured before connecting her lips to Alex's.
