Chapter Two

Alexander Abernathy's POV

Ivy and I are studying together with Faith and Ethan in the University's library. I just love having Ivy near me. I can never get enough of her presence. Finals are sort of turning my brain to mush; way too much to study, way too little time.

I just can't wait until finals are over and we can go back to District 12 for a few weeks of break. I can't wait until Ivy and I can actually spend some time together without having textbooks scattered around us. I love to learn and all but there's only so much your brain can handle.

"I don't know about you guys, but I could totally go for a drink." Ethan says.

"I'm game," Faith agrees.

"Ah, I think we'll take a rain check." Ivy replies.

"Oh, come on! You guys never come out for a drink! You two really need to live a little!" Faith exclaims.

"Sorry, we just don't drink." I tell her.

"Well, I think you need to start!" She responds. It takes us another thirty minutes to convince Faith and Ethan that we don't need to go out for a drink. They leave us, telling us we're complete losers for not accompanying them.

Ivy and I decide to head up to my dorm room to just hang out for a few hours. Things have been way too stressful lately. We've both been working so hard to keep up with our classes and we've been spending a lot of time in our separate laboratories working on our graduation projects.

"I'm sorry we haven't gotten to spend all that much time together lately," I mumble into Ivy's hair as I kiss the top of her head. We are sitting on mine and Ethan's couch watching the big screen TV that my dad bought for our room.

"It's not your fault," She tells me. "We've both just been working hard. Things will get better once we graduate."

"Until you go to med school," I whisper sadly. Don't get me wrong, I think it is absolutely wonderful that my girlfriend wants to be a doctor and commit her life to helping people. I just really wish it didn't mean she'd have to work so hard for so long.

"Do you not want me to go?" Ivy asks me, her eyes shining with a twinge of hurt.

"Oh, Ivy, no," I tell her. "I want you to go," I say, kissing her lips. "You're going to be a great doctor," I kiss her again, "You're going to save so many lives and . . ." Another kiss. Ivy wraps her arms around my neck and I lose my train of thought.

She nibbles on my bottom lips and I part my lips so she can slip her tongue between them. Oh, this woman drives me absolutely crazy. I wrap my arms around her torso and pull her closer to me. I just can't get enough of her.

"Umph," I moan as she pushes me back onto the couch. My hands go to her silky smooth, brown hair. She tugs on my shirt and, before I know it, she has ripped it off my body.

"I-Ivy, hold on a sec." I say, gently pushing her away from me.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to . . .?" She asks me.

"Well, yeah, of course I do. I just thought you still wanted to wait." I reply, pushing a stray lock of brunette hair from her face.

"I did but . . . I know you're a guy and I know that guys . . ." She trails off.

"Ivy, I'm not going to push you into anything you aren't ready for. Sweetheart, I love you and I am willing to wait as long as you want." I tell her.

"Are you sure?" She asks me and I can see the fear and worry in her eyes.

"Of course I'm sure. Ivy, I waited so long just to tell you I love you. Babe, I am in total heaven right now just sitting on the couch and watching stupid movies." I assure her.

"I know. It's just . . . we've been dating for almost four years and we still haven't . . . done anything." Ivy replies.

"We don't have to have sex to be in a relationship." I say. "There's more to it than that. I think we need to . . . I don't know . . . I guess we just have to figure ourselves out before we take on a physical relationship like that. I mean, that's a pretty big step."

"I guess . . . I just don't want you . . . going to someone else," Ivy tells me and I think I feel my heart break. How can she think I would ever go to someone else? She's the one I love. She's the only woman I've ever loved.

"Ivy, I couldn't go to anyone else. Not when I love you as much as I love you. Ivy, I will never hurt you like that. Trust me when I tell you that I want to wait until we are both ready. Really, we're still just kids." I tell her, pulling her close to me in a hug.

"I understand. I guess I just worry. You're really a great guy and I swear sometimes I can feel all the girls around campus eyeing you up. It scares me because I think you might run off with one of them because they're offering you something I haven't." Ivy admits.

"Ivy, there is only one girl for me and that's you. The only girl I'll ever love as much as I love you will be our own baby girl. Until then, I only have eyes for you, babe." I reassure her.

"I really do love you. You know that, right?" Ivy asks.

"Of course I know you love me. And I love you, too, so much." I tell her, kissing her beautiful lips. After our kiss, Ivy laughs to herself about something.

"What are you laughing at?" I ask her teasingly.

"Oh, just how my dad would have killed you if we had had sex." She says through her chuckles. I feel the blood rush out of my face. She is so right. Peeta would have skinned me alive and then slowly made me eat my own skin while Katniss used me for target practice. I shiver at the thought.

"I can't wait until life gets less hectic," Ivy says as we recline on the couch together.

"Me too, babe, me too," I agree as I turn the station on the TV to some sappy romance movie I know Ivy will enjoy. After a while, my eyelids begin to droop. It really has been a tiring day. I can no longer keep my eyelids open so I shut the TV off and turn the lights down before falling asleep on the couch, Ivy next to me with her head resting on my shoulder and my arm wrapped around her protectively.

Say it with me! "Awwwwwwwwwwww" Yeah, I definitely love these two! Dont worry, the next chapter will have some more of the other kids. There is much to tell about the LiamXLilacXAsh love triangle! (No, I haven't turned Lilac into a lesbian LOL). Please review and thanks for reading! I hope I'm not disappointing you all too badly yet! I'll try to kick things up a notch soon!
