the next few weeks dex and I were always around each other. everything we did we did together. we weren't dating, at least that I knew of. we had just finished a recording of us playing a video game when aleks came up to me. "hey do you want to go out for lunch?" he asks. I thought for a moment and decided yes as I didn't have any other plans. I said bye to dex and James, as they were the only ones near me at the time. I noticed dex was glaring at aleks but when I looked towards aleks and back to dex, he wasn't glaring at all. I must have been imagining the entire thing. we drive to some nearby restaurant we got our table and we looked through the menu. "so you and dex, huh?" and I looked at aleks, who wasn't even lookin at me at all. he just continued to flip through his menu. "what do you mean?" I asked him, I knew what he was asking me, but I wanted further clarification. "you. and. dex. you guys are dating?" I wasn't shocked to hear him ask that but I told him we weren't dating. he was the one shocked this time. "what? i thought you guys where" I shoke my head. "nope we're not" aleks was quiet for the rest of lunch and on our drive back to work. when we arrived back I saw dex standing by the front door, he stared at us and I locked eyes with him. "summer moon.." aleks said. I turned my head to him and he caught me in a kiss! when we parted I saw dex was no longer at the front door. he was no where to be seen. I panicked and started to leave the car. aleks grabbed my arm before I could do it tho. "you said nothing is between dex and you" there's was slight anger in his voice as he new what was going on. I began to stutter. I wasn't even sure what was between me and anyone. "there isn't but-" "then why are you going after him" he asked, he was super angry. I didn't know how to respond, but I ripped my arm from his grip and dashed off to find dex.
I found him in his office, I couldn't read his face since it was mostly covered by his back turned against from the door. "dex, I-I can explain" dex turned his face to me and began to yell "explain what summer moon?! you knew how I felt about you!" "I didn't know he would kiss me! and you never said anything more about us anyways! what was I supposed to do?!" I started to yell Bach. at the corner of my eye I could see people coming out their offices to check what was going on. I sighed and grabbed dex and headed out of the office. when we reached a spot that was out of hearing and sight of other, dex pulled me into a kiss. I was totLly surprised. "I really like you and I need you to know that". I turned away from him. "dex...I need time to think about this.." "why though?!" he asked. I turned back to him but I kept my eyes on the ground. "you never said that we were more than friends, then aleks kissed me and you acted like I cheated on you! I just need time to think about this!" and with that I started walking back to the office.
when i arruved back, everyone's eyes were on me, but i ignored it. I reached my office and saw James at his computer, but thankfully wasn't recording anything. I sat down at my chair and it spun around for a bit. "hey James.." he turned to me and smiled. "I heard what happened". I covered my face with my hands and groaned into them. he laughed. "I wanted your advice" I said. "should I pursue a relationship with dex?" i continued. James immediately told me not to. I sighed. "I just don't believe he's good enough for you" I smiled softly at him. James was such a good friend who looked out for me, and I really appreciated it.
that night I tossed and turned, without getting any sleep. this whole thing boggled my mind. eventually I did an hour or two of sleep when my alarm went off at 8am. I laid in bed for awhile, thinking. eventually I did come up with solution and I immediately picked up my phone and called aleks. "hello?" his voice was scratchy from sleep. I took a deep breath to get rid of any nervousness. "aleks, I thought about what you said and there isn't anything going on between dex and I. I don't know if you still want to go out with me or not, but I just wanted to let you know" aleks chuckled and said yes. I was confused. "yes?" I asked him. "yeah I'll go out with you" I gasped. I had to stop myself my squealing out loud. "that's great! I'll see you at work then!" I hung and I did squeal into my pillow, alerting Jordan and he rushed into my room. "what's wrong?" he said in a panic. i laughed and explained what happened.
when Jordan and I arrived at the office, i immediately set off to find aleks. it wasn't too hard to find him, as the office wasn't that big, but when I did find him he was talking with Aron. when aleks noticed me, he excused himself from his conversation with Aron to kiss me. "what the fuck?!" we parted unexpectedly to see dex standing at the doorway, shocked.
