"let's bet on this." I told Alek, he smirked. I knew that he was going to come up with something that would get me in trouble, or him in trouble. "We can't go back on the bet"
"If I win, you and I have to sit through a Sex Addict meeting." He only said that because I was an empath. I had to come up with something better than that.
"If I win... You have to tell my mom that you're sexually attracted to me." Alek was liking this, it was all about sex how could he not.
"If I win, you two have to pretend to have sex while my mom is home" Jasmine said, I didn't know if she was into betting or not. Alek and I were always doing something like that.
"Who's going to keep track of who wins?" because I'd lost before from Alek claiming that he won, when I did. "Hey, I'll call Paul"
"Paul? Oh great." Paul was there in the matter of minutes.
"One, two and three" we took off, Alek right beside me. I wasn't even focused on Jasmine but when we stopped on my roof, she had won. Alek was smiling, that smug look on his face. Jasmine was laughing- Was I the only one not finding this amusing. Jasmine took off to leaving me with Alek.
He couldn't help himself "You want to practice?" I was going to mess with Alek back I was tired of him always having the hand over me.
"Sure" I tried to imitate his smug look. I probably looked seductive to him, but on the inside I was going to get back back. It was 3:12 on my alarm clock. I pulled Alek through my window. He was coming willingly. I leaned in like I was going to kiss him putting my hands on his shirt. "Just kidding" I breathed in his ear.
He looked like he was in a daze, "Don't worry, We'll have plenty of time tomorrow" He crawled out of my window.
Alek and I went to his room, I put my phone on his night stand. I didn't know what to do, I was completely lost. I held my other hand scratching at it like I did when I was nervous. Alek wasn't facing me. "Alek" he turned around fast as light. I stood up. In the seconds that I had stood up he had me against the wall his hands moving from my neck to my waist. I didn't move, I could say that I couldn't but the truth is. I didn't want to. He was taller than me so I had to stand on the tip of my toes to reach his mouth. Our lips touched, for a second and we pulled back. Then his was back on mine. He had picked me up so my legs were around his waist. He carried me over to his bed, he kissed me even harder. My phone was going off, beside me on the night stand. I ignored the first call. "Alek" I breathed into his neck. I put my hands on his hips. control. Control. Control. I thought to myself. I could not let this pretend thing, turn into something real. The kissing I could handle, Alek would forget about it soon enough. Then I told myself that I loved him, and I realized that I did. "Alek" I said his beautiful name. He rolled off of me
"Chloe, I can't do this and pretend I don't feel a thing, when I do" I sat up looking at him, I could tell he was telling the truth.
"Alek, I like you a lot. I really do... and from what your saying you like me too. SO why aren't we together" I asked him, he shrugged and said he wanted to know the same thing. "Do you want to date?"
"Yeah. I do" he took my hands and put them around his neck. Kissing me without the urgency, without the lusty want. But with that feeling I had felt before. I now knew what it was. It was love. "Do you want to continue that?" I knew we had to do the bet, and that's what I told him.
He laid me down, gentle. He kissed from my collar bone, to my forehead and back down. "I love you" He said with each kiss. Then he took his shirt off. We were making out, making noises when we heard heavy knocking on the door. Alek opened it, it was not Valentina but another guy that was around here and there.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked Alek in a very deep voice. I sat up pulling my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them.
"What does it sound like?" Alek said, in a cocky way. The guy pulled Alek up by his shirt.
"Who is she?" He asked him, pushing open the door. I was sitting on the couch now, it looked like we had done nothing. "I don't know her" he said frantic "Is she a human?"
"No she's not" Alek said looking at me, "far from it, now will you stay out of my room and out of my life" When Alek shut his door, I turned to him.
"I guess that's got to count for something." I stood on Alek's bed. I had the urge to jump on it but I didn't. "You know, you're bed is very comfortable- and big" Alek and I smiled at each other, "We skipped the whole day of school making out in your bed"
"and admitting we have feelings for each other" he said "just so you know- we have training tonight." I buried my face in the pillow. He started petting my head, "You were driving me crazy, saying my name Chloe King" Sometimes I forgot about how his accent was.
I could not wait until tonight.
