Chapter 1: When We Touched…
"Alex! Alex! Where are you?" Theresa Russo asked as she tried to find her daughter, Alex Russo.
"I'm inside the lair!" Alex shouted as she heard her mother's cries. She was trying to practice a new spell that her dad, Jerry Russo, taught her. It was night and her parents were leaving for a meeting.
"There you are. Listen, we're leaving and you're brothers aren't back from the amusement park. We don't want to leave you alone here because we want this house to be in one piece when we're home, so Nate's coming over. " Her mother said.
"Nate's in town?" She asked, surprised.
"Yes. They're on as summer tour I think." She said as she kissed and waved her daughter goodbye but remembered something before she left.
"And no magic while he's here, ok?" She said with a strict face.
"Fine." She rolled her eyes and decided to go upstairs. She sat on the couch and looked at the terrace. It was still raining hard. She sighed as she turned on the TV.
But there was nothing but static.
"God, why?!" She screamed into the air. She was so bored just sitting there, so she slowly fell asleep.
==A Few Minutes Later==
"DING DONG!" The doorbell rang and Alex suddenly woke up. She scratched her head and stood up. When she opened the door, it revealed Nate. He was leaning on the wall and wearing a leather jacket.
"Finally." He whispered to himself. "Hey Alex."
"Nate! I missed you so much!" She hugged him and let him in.
"Me too." He said. "I see there's no TV."
"Yeah. It's gonna be one boring night."
Nate smirked. "So how you doing? It's been 3 years since I saw you."
"Nothing much. Except changing grades. That's about it."
Nate replied "At least you managed to pass to change grades."
Alex smiled. Nate always made her laugh. He always thought of him as his perfect brother. Well, better than her brothers anyway.
"So, you hungry?" Alex asked. Nate nodded, so Alex checked the fridge. She grabbed some soda and the leftover pizza.
"Thank God we have pizza." Nate smiled.
"So how are you gonna spend your summer?" Nate asked as he was chewing on his pizza.
"AHAHAHAHA! You have some cheese on you." Alex said as she giggled.
"I do? God, that's embarrassing." Nate tried to remove it.
"I find it cute." Alex said, trying to not make him feel down.
"Thanks." Nate replied.
They continued talking and catching up with each other as they ate pizza. Then they both grabbed for the same pizza. As their hands touched both of them felt a spark. Alex pulled away and she blushed. She didn't' know why but she suddenly felt something. Nate felt it too. It's like when they first met. A spark.
They continued the night just watching movies. After a while, Alex felt tired and rested her head on Nate's neck. He smelled her hair and it was the faintest hint of Apple.
"So… are you dating anyone?" Nate asked nervously.
Alex lifted her head and looked straight at Nate.
"I did, but it didn't work out. He cheated on me."
"I know what you mean. My last girlfriend left me for someone else. She was already dating." Nate replied, a bit angry.
"Why do people you think you love always end up cheating on you? It's just sick!" Nate said getting angrier.
Alex started tearing up and her face got redder. Nate cupped her chin.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring this all on you. I just don't know when to control myself sometimes. Runs in the family I guess."
Alex smirked. She felt a tickle as the heat of Nate's breath touched her.
Their lips were one centimeter away from each other. They moved closer.
And kissed.
Alex held onto Nate as he played with his curly dark hair. Nate moved in and they lay down on the couch. Suddenly, the lights turned off. Every inch of electricity was gone. But they didn't care. They just continued kissing.
After they finished kissing, Alex was still surprised. She didn't know what she felt before, but now she knew. It was love.
"You know you smell like Apples?" Nate said, trying to compliment her.
Alex smiled as she slowly fell asleep.
Nate noticed she was asleep and carried her bridal style to her room. He laid her on the bed and kissed her forehead. Alex smirked and Nate smiled.
Nate went downstairs and cleaned up the mess.
After he finished cleaning, he grabbed his jacket and walked to the door.
But before he opened it, Justin arrived.
"Nate! Hey man, how have you been doing?" Justin asked, surprised to see a old friend.
"I'm fine. Your mom asked me to watch Alex and she's sleeping in her room. Say hi to your mom and dad for me. I gotta rest for my concert tomorrow."
"You guys are on tour?"
"Yeah" Nate replied.
"Well, bye Nate." Justin replied.
Nate left but he wasn't happy. He wasn't happy at all.
Suddenly, Alex woke up.
"Justin! Where's Nate?" Alex asked surprised to see her in bed.
"He left already." Justin said.
"Oh."
