A/N: Here's the sequel to Circles. If you haven't read it, you might want to before you start this story.

This story starts off where the last one ended. I had fun writing this chapter and I hope to have more up soon.

ENJOY!

Obvious

Cadee:

I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to hurt Jesse. But I had to. I had to break up with him. Alex and I were clearly more than friends, although he understood that I had to break things off with Jesse first. I wanted to be with Alex, believe me, but I didn't want to hurt Jesse who had been a good friend this summer. Hopefully we can still be friends.

I silently chanted, you can do this; you have to do this, in my head as I walked up Jesse's driveway. I found him in the back yard in his pool. I sat on the edge and put my feet in the water. He hadn't noticed my approach.

I took a deep breath. I was so busy trying to remain calm that I didn't notice Jesse swim over to me. I felt cool water drench me from the front.

"Hey there," Jesse laughed.

I smiled slightly, "Hi."

"I thought you were going to your friends' show in the city?" he questioned.

"Oh, I am. I wanted to come see you first though."

Jesse jumped out of the pool and grabbed a towel to dry off. I grabbed a seat on the swing on the deck. Jesse joined me. He leaned in for a kiss but I turned slightly so he got my cheek. I could feel his eyes on me.

"What's wrong?"

Instead of answering I turned to see his questioning eyes. I took a deep breath.

You can do this; you have to do this.

"Jesse." He nodded and turned away.

"I knew it. I'm surprised you didn't realize it sooner, but I knew it."

"What are you talking about?" I had no idea what he meant; I hadn't even said anything yet.

"It's him. It's Alex. You like him, right?" I turned away, staring back at the pool. "I knew it. Look, it's okay. I get it." I turned back still confused that I hadn't had to say a word yet. "Remember at the campground? I thought that you and Alex were together."

"Yeah," I answered slowly.

"It was obvious then that you two had something. I've been waiting for you to figure it out. I'm just glad I got to spend the end of the summer with you." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, willing me to relax.

Obvious? Well I can see now that everyone, and I mean everyone but me could see it. How was I so blind?

"Your not mad at me?" he shook his head. "Thank you," I whispered. Wow, that was easy! I don't know why I was so worried.

Alex:

"Dammit, Alex. Get the fuck up here."

I guess I had spaced out. I was thinking about Cadee. Shocker, I know, but what else is new?

She is supposed to be breaking up with Jesse, the guy she's been dating over the end of summer, so we can be together. I know she doesn't want to hurt him. Apparently he's a cool guy. Not that I would know, I never really got to know him.

The guys and I are at the theatre in Baltimore where we always come to watch other bands. But tonight we are one of those bands. It's so cool to be able to play this venue.

Right now we are finishing setting up and doing our sound check. I walk up to the stage and grab my guitar on my way to the microphone set up in the center of the stage.

We start sound check with our newest song Jasey Rae. We haven't had a whole lot of practice time to work out the kinks, so we use this time to make sure we all know the song.

For some reason, I am actually nervous to play tonight. I never get nervous. This is what I love to do, but tonight seems important somehow.

After we are satisfied with the new song we fool around, playing random songs and just having a good time. I start to relax. My nerves must have been over playing at this venue. It was sort of special being able to play the venue that I went to my first concert at.

When were done with sound check, we head backstage to hang out and get ready for the show. I found Cadee and Evan in the room the venue let us use.

As soon as I enter the room, Cadee jumps up from her seat next to Evan and straight into my arms. She places a swift kiss on my lips and I laugh as I hold her so her feet are just barely off the ground. I spin her around before setting her on her feet.

"So how'd it go?" I asked, never taking my eyes off hers.

"Unbelievable! I didn't even have to say a word. He knew what I was going to say, and guess what? He totally cool with it!" she smiled brightly at me, obviously excited that there wasn't an obstacle between us anymore.

I leaned down to kiss her once more, a little more fiercely than she had kissed me.

"Okay. This is getting annoying. Do you guys always have to make out in front of us?" Jack grumbles.

I flipped him off behind Cadee's back as I smirked down at her. She winked before jumping back into my arms. This time she wrapped her legs around my waist as she began kissing me ferociously. I smiled into the kiss. I could get used to this.

"Dammit Jack! You made it worse," Zack said from somewhere behind us.

"Jeez Cay, can you please limit the PDA, at least when I'm in the room," Evan added.

She laughed as she pulled away, turning her head to stick her tongue out at the guys. I made no move to put her down. I had developed a bulge in my pants that I didn't want the guys, especially Evan, to see. Instead I moved to sit on the couch next to Evan with Cadee on my lap.

I'm sure Cadee could now feel my erection through our jeans, because she smiled at me knowingly before kissing my forehead.

Cadee:

Damn, if I had known this was what I was missing, I would have figured out how much I liked Alex a long time ago. Every time we touch it's electric. Every time we kiss it's like nothing else matters; we are the only two people in the world.

I jumped into Alex's arms again, wrapping my legs around his waist to torment the guys but ended up tormenting myself as well. Last week when I confessed how much I really did love Alex we had been about to sleep together. At least I was about to sleep with him, but he had to be noble and stop us from doing something one of us might regret. The truth is I wouldn't have regretted it. I was ready to sleep with him. I still am.

I can feel the bulge in his pants as he pulls me down with him as he sits next to Evan. I can't help but smile. I guess I can affect him as much as he affects me. I kiss his forehead and ask, "So when do you guys go on?"

"At 8:00. We have almost two hours to do whatever," Rian answers from his seat on the floor. Kara is sitting between his legs and he has his arms wrapped around her. They are so cute together.

"Any plans?" Zack asked.

"Why don't we go down to the Rec room?" Jack suggests. Everyone starts to get up, except Alex and I.

"Your not coming?" Evan questioned us.

"I think I'll stay, I need to relax before the show," Alex answered.

I glanced at Alex before answering. He looks nervous. "You guys go have fun, see you in a an hour or so."

Everyone made his or her way out the door. Kara gave me a wink and I laughed. I still hadn't moved from Alex's lap. When everyone was gone and the door closed I went to move off of Alex to sit beside him.

"Where do you think your going?" he asked as he gripped my thighs.

I giggled as I leaned down to capture his lips in mine. He responded instantly. His hands roamed from my legs to my rear, and up and down my back. While my hands found themselves moving from where they had been tangled in his hair, down his chest to the hem of his shirt.

I lifted the fabric, gently pushing it up to reveal the skin beneath. Alex figured out what I was doing and leaned forward so I could remove the shirt completely. Our lips only parted long enough for both of us to loose our shirts.

Alex tightened his grip on my thighs, lifting us off the couch, only to find myself lying on my back with him above me. Again my hands roamed his chest coming to land on his belt like they had done once before. Like before Alex froze. He pulled away to look in my eyes.

"Are you sure?" he whispered.

I just nodded as I began to loosen the buckle.

"I just forgot my-"

We both turned to the voice that had entered the room. Evan bent over to grab his phone off the coffee table before rushing for the door.

Alex re-buckled his belt while he stood. I sighed and then burst into giggles.

"What are you laughing at?" Alex asked as he looked from me to the door.

I just laughed harder. I sat up and searched for my shirt, which was in Alex's hand. I retrieved the shirt, pulling it on..

Alex pulled me back down on the couch where I sat against the armrest with my legs draped across his lap.

"Seriously. What's so funny?" he asked again.

I calmed myself down enough to answer. "Evan just walked in on us," I stated simply.

"Yeah. And what's so funny about that?"

"Did you see the look on his face? I think we scarred him for life," I replied laughing lightly to myself.

Alex began laughing too.

We decided to go join the guys and Kara in the Rec room. Alex didn't want Evan to think anything more than what he saw happened. I shook my head with a smile before following him.

P.S. Reviews would be lovely! ;)
