It was Saturday morning. Alex walked down the stairs and lay on the couch. Justin looked at her and chuckled.
"Incredible…" he said. "Even when you're awake…you're not awake."
"Haha, very funny…" she said. He looked at her for a moment. She had started falling asleep. He smiled and, for her surprise, leaned down to kiss her forehead. She snapped awake and looked at him.
"What was that for?" she said.
"Dunno…" he said, grinning. "Just felt like doing it." He then walked to the kitchen.
She looked at him and, for her surprise, found herself blushing.
"Why am I feeling like this?" she thought. "What's going on with me…?"
…
Alex spent most of the weekend wondering why she was starting to feel different towards Justin. She sometimes found herself staring at him for minutes until someone called her and brought her back form her la-la-land.
A few days before Justin's parents' arrival, Alex found him in his room, packing his stuff.
"Justin?" she said, slowly opening the door. He looked at her. "Why…why're you packing?"
"Precaution." He said. "I might have to leave, remember?"
"Yeah…" she said; her mood lowering. He noticed that and stood up.
"Listen…" he started. "I might have to leave…but, don't be like that, it's not the end of the world." She just looked at him. "Oh, c'mon…everything but the puppy dog face!" He covered his eyes.
"I'm not doing it." She lied. He looked at her.
"I always fall for that!" he exclaimed. She looked at him for a moment, and then unexpectedly, she grabbed his arm, pulling him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her, not able to say anything.
…
One day left.
That's what had been running through Alex's mind ever since she woke up in that rainy morning.
"Gee…I think I'm more worried about that than Justin himself." She mumbled as she got up. At least they were on vacation. She didn't need school troubling her mind at the moment.
She went down to the kitchen and grabbed a plate.
"Commakus Pancakus." She whispered. A stack of pancakes appeared on the plate. She grabbed her plate and went to the living room, where she found Justin watching TV.
" 'Morning, sleepy head." He said when he saw her. "Mom and dad had to go to the magician consul today, they won't be back until tomorrow morning. And Max's staying at a friend's place."
"Oh…cool." She said, motionless. He stared at her for a moment. "…Why're you looking at me like that?"
"Don't know…you seem different." He said. "Good…different…" he finished, grinning.
"Yeah…definitely different." She said.
…
Night came, Justin was trying to get some sleep, but his mind was too full.
All about the fact his biological parents were coming the next day…he didn't know them, would he be well accepted in that new family?
And there was one more thing bothering his mind, it made him completely confused…Alex. She'd been acting strangely around him, he could sense it. But what confused him the most…he was starting to feel something different for her…something more than the brother/sister affection they used to have.
He stayed there for a moment thinking, until he got up and walked through the hallway, stopping at Alex's door. He opened it slowly and got in, waking her.
"Huh? Justin?" she said. "What're you doing here?"
"I'm not sure…" he said. "But I had to come." She raised an eyebrow.
He just stood there, no words would come out of him. She stared at him for a moment.
"Just tell me what you want, Justin." She said. He got closed to her.
"I wanna do this."
Next thing she knew, he had her lips pressed against hers. Justin…the guy she'd grown up with like her brother…was kissing her…and she was kissing him back.
She pulled away and looked at him, startled. "Why…why did you kiss me?"
He looked into her eyes. "Alex...you should talk less." He leaned in and kissed her again. They started kissing harder; Justin gently pushed Alex, making her lie down on the bed with him on top of her. He moaned, his fingers slipping under her shirt.
She parted the kiss, her eyes wide because of what was about to happen.
He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Justin, I'm not sure…" she said.
"If you don't want to…" he started. She stared at him.
"Oh, screw it!" she said, pulling him closer and kissing him hungrily.
