Part One: Dreaming A Reality
Alex sat on the couch watching the screen. Moments from the night before flashed in her mind, the way Summer's hand felt in hers, the smoothness of the contact, and the look Summer gave her before putting her head on her shoulder. Alex shook off the feelings, and memories, focusing on the television.
"Morning." Summer said walking out of the bedroom.
"Hey" Alex replied not taking her eyes off the screen.
"What're you watching?"
"The Simpson's, it's the one where Homer goes to rock and roll camp."
"That's cool." Summer said while taking a seat next to Alex.
A few minutes of silence passed before either one of them spoke.
"Did you sleep out here last night?"
Alex merely nodded her head, refusing to meet Summer's eyes.
"Why?" She questioned, not breaking contact from the screen.
"I just thought that you needed some alone time, I guess." Alex's voice trailed off, as she met Summer's eyes.
Aside from the handholding during the bonfire, nothing else had happened between Summer and Alex. Neither mentioned what had happened, or didn't happen. Although they both knew, they felt something towards each other.
"So where's your roommate?" Summer asked breaking the silence again.
"I have no idea, honestly I haven't lived here long enough to know her. Why?"
"Well I haven't seen her around, I don't know do you ever worry?"
"About her? I don't know her well enough to worry a lot, but yeah I guess I do a little bit." Alex shrugged and turned her attention back to the TV.
"Are you working?"
"Yeah, I got my old job back at the Bait Shop."
"When do you need to go in?" Summer asked discontent hanging on the last words.
"Later this afternoon." Alex replied, noting the emotion in Summer's voice.
Summer put her head in Alex's lap, and watched the cartoon playing before her eyes. Wondering if she'd crossed the invisible line between Alex and herself. Alex was overjoyed with happiness because of the contact, but also filled with dread. She knew that if they kept acting like this, she wouldn't be able to resist. Her hands absentmindedly started playing with Summer's hair, and Summer didn't protest. Summer loved it when people played with her hair, but only if they knew how to be gentle with it, and Alex was one of those people.
"Summer, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, go ahead."
"What are you doing…about um college?" Alex asked, she had deadpanned and almost asked the smaller girl exactly what was on her mind.
"Oh, I don't know." Summer said, somewhat expecting something else.
"Are you going to go?" Alex had stopped playing with Summer's hair. All was quiet except for the voices emitting from the TV.
"I don't know anymore. Apart of me wants to go, but another part doesn't." Summer's voice trailed off, and she sat up abruptly; "I think I'm going to go home. I think I need to go home. I've invaded enough of your space." She said while standing. Alex stood alongside Summer, "No, that wasn't what I was implying or anything!"
Summer walked off towards Alex's bedroom to get her purse, while Alex stood stark still in front of the couch. She hadn't expected that, nor had she wanted to lose the contact with Summer. Within seconds, Summer returned and headed straight for the door, her hand on the knob.
"Summer…" Alex's voice came out in a plea.
"Alex, listen to me. I've taken enough of your time and I know you need to get back to your life. I'll see you around okay?" Summer's voice broke, as she turned the doorknob and walked out of the apartment.
