This takes place within "Free Fallin"
-
"Thanks Alex, You're so comfy." She said as she slightly and lightly rubbed her head into my lap. She said it with a smile on her face as her eyes were closed.
I couldn't believe that this was happening, that I was still here at Marco and Dylan's house because PAIGE asked me to stay. The feelings rushing threw my head were undesirable.
Ok so I admit, I had a small rush of dirty thoughts running threw my head when she said "Let's have a sleep over" I think I even raised my eye brows a bit. She just rolled her eyes and reminded me that we were just friends.
I moved my hair out of my face and bit and just said "Goodnight" to her as I placed my head on the yellow pillow I just grabbed. She didn't answer back; I wasn't planning on her too.
I tried to sleep but I could honestly say I had too much on my mind that night. I laid there with my head on the pillow and my eyes closed thinking back on what happened tonight.
I ended up telling her that I had a girl friend, just to assure her that I wouldn't try anything. She didn't believe me though and I quickly changed the subject. For reasons unknown to me, I didn't feel comfortable talking to Paige about Carla. Although I had to admit I loved seeing the shocked look on her face with her slightly opened mouth and her fifty million blinks when she found out I was no longer single. She looked cute……..
Wait, shit no, no she didn't! What am I thinking? I can't have these thoughts of Paige, I'm happily with Carla……I'm…..….I'm with Carla………..I opened my eyes and gave off a small sigh. "This can't be happening" I say in a small whisper.
Just then, as if it was planned, Paige started to adjust her-self on my lap. She moved her-self closer to my stomach and rolled her-self over a bit too where I now had a full view of her face. God that face…….people are so precious when they are asleep. There so vulnerable and……..NO! Stop it!
I shoot my head upwards so I can't look at her face anymore. God why can't I just go to sleep! I close my eyes and think even further about me and Carla. We hadn't been together very long yet and she'd KILL me if she found out that I was over here sleeping on the same couch as my ex. At least I'd think she'd kill me, we never really talked about situations like this.
In fact, we don't really talk about our ex's at all. Our relationship is kind of a rocky one; we don't do a lot of stuff with each other like go to movies or anything. She's very high class and only wants to eat at fancy ass restaurants. Sometimes I wonder why she even puts up with me. But then again, we only been together for less then a month, so maybe she just likes taking things very slow. We hold hands and kiss, that's about it. Not that I want rush things with her, its just our relationship is a total 180 from mine and…………….
OH MY GOD!! I jolt my head up and look down to see that Paige has adjusted her-self again, and has elbowed me in my "sensitive spot." How she was able to wiggle her-self that much upward with out me realizing before this I don't know, but damn it her elbow hurts like a bitch!!
I adjust my-self to wear her elbow is no longer pushing against me. Her head isn't on my lap anymore but on the other part of the couch. Her boobs and stomach are now on slowly rubbing against my lap. Oh damn if my crotch didn't hurt so much, her body rubbing on my lap would be a turn on. I can't remember the last time I had anyone rub up against me and it felt kind of good…….kind of really good………Maybe her elbowing me was a good thing.
As I waited for the pain to die down, I couldn't help but think back even further….of what me and Paige used to be. Of us lying in her or my bed after our little "sleepovers" and how peaceful lying in her bed felt. The closeness we had with one another. How nothing else seemed to matter but us…Hmm, How she use to just hold me and squeeze me tightly after a long hard day and just cuddle with me at night.
Then thoughts of Carla ran threw my head. What about me and her? Would we ever get that close? Do I even want to? I've yet to stay at her house and I haven't even shown her mine. Am I ready to get that close with her; I mean I'm still getting to know the girl and her with me. With me and Paige we sleep over numerous times, and there was no hesitation, just like there wasn't one tonight.
I really got to stop thinking so deeply into this! I run my hands through my hair as I start to lean to my right. I really need to focus on me and Paige just being friends. I really do want to stay close with her, so if I'm going to make this work I have to just forget the past and move on. Move on with Carla……………………Make things work with Carla….I mean they just have to, remember Paige has moved on…..its time I move on too. I closed my eyes and stopped trying to think so much. I started to feel droopy and I went into a deep dark sleep.
ooOOOoo
"Right" she said as she got up from the green couch. "I should go" said Alex with a smile as she looked down at me.
Tonight had a been a goodnight, ok so I didn't get swat done for school, but it felt good just being able to talk to Marco, Dylan and Alex. I haven't felt this way in a long while, and I know this feeling would be gone in the morning……
"No…." I say as start to pull my arm out towards her, "Wait, Let's have a sleepover!" I say as I move her arm back and forth while turning my head towards the couch.
I look back up at her and see that she started to move her eye brows and had a weird smile on her face. That's Alex for you, thinking of dirty thoughts. I rolled my eyes and gave her that look. "Just friends" I sighed out as I pulled her to the couch and continued to give her that look.
"Yea I know dufus ……………"She plopped onto the couch just as I hoped she would, but her next part of the sentence shocked me.
"………………I have a girlfriend."
What??? Since when?!?! Last time I saw her she told me she was the "Queen of boring single lame land" How did she find someone before I did? Or worst…….someone to replace me!!
"You are so lying!!" I said in kind of a huff. I didn't wanna make it seem like I was shocked but I don't think I could have helped it. I think my jaw dropped just slightly but I don't think she noticed. I waited to hear on what she would say next….
She just looked at me and it didn't seem to even faze her that I called her a liar. "You might have one friend at Banting next year……." Not what I expected to come out of her mouth.
Oh god lets not talk about Banting….crap I still have all that work to do….Well she must have been lying about the girl friend thing because she didn't try and defend her-self when I called her a liar, so at lest I don't have to worry about that.
I was getting really tired so as Alex was blabbing on about Banting, I was just getting ready for bed. The more she talked the more it seemed like she didn't need me anymore, like how she moved on. I mean Alex was getting A's in school? My old Alex, that would have rather stole stuff from malls then be caught dead with a book, was getting A's at Degrassi while I was getting low marks at Banting?? This just didn't seem right…
I didn't want to make it seem like I wasn't happy for her so I just told her as I went down to lay on her lap "Well, That's Fantastic Hun, I am very glad that you proved me wrong."
She started to say something but I was dosing off….I said something back, don't really remember what, something to do with "comfy" and then feel fast asleep.
I woke up in the middle of the night to find that my head was no longer on Alex's lap but on the other part of the couch. I must have wiggled my-self all the way upwards. The blanket I was using was gone…..must have fallen to the floor. I swung my-self over to look at Alex but she was fast asleep with her head slowly sliding off the back of the couch.
My eyes were heavy, but I couldn't help but think of what Alex was saying tonight. She had a girlfriend, she wanted to go to Banting. Did I even impress her anymore?
I thought she looked up to me, what will she think when she finds out I'm not what she thought I was?
The only thing I thought of was to just keep lying to her. She'll never have to know about my grades…….besides if I get the work I need to get done, I'll be in the clear! She'll never have to know about my first semester mishaps; just don't tell her the truth.
I heard and felt something moving on the couch. It was Alex as she started to adjust her-self long ways within the couch. That yellow pillow followed under her right arm. Her left arm coved part of her face. Hmm, she looked so peaceful just sleeping there, so vulnerable……..hmm, so cute.
Alex always new someway to get me out of a slump and even though she didn't know it, just her sleeping there peacefully, like a baby, made me feel better. I didn't want this feeling to go away, but I know this wouldn't last forever.
I found that blanket on the floor and picked it up and covered myself. I was facing the opposite way from Alex so I decided to move my-self over so I could be back to back with her. I like feeling her body warmth against mine. Makes me feel safe.
Just then I felt Alex wiggled a bit as she mumbled something in her sleep….
"mmm…Carla don't……" she mumbled in a slightly harsh tone.
Carla?? Who was Carla? Must be a distant cousin or something. I though nothing of it as I started to fall back asleep.
I started to go back to sleep, my worries started to fade away with my dreams and I wondered what tomorrow would bring. I noticed that I had mood swings most of the time due to stress from school, so I just hoped I'd wake up feeling the way I feel tonight.
I don't think Alex will ever understand how much comfort and joy she brings me sometimes. Even though we aren't together anymore, her just being beside me makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. No one else I know makes me feel that way.
I just hope Alex hasn't moved on without me, or thinks I have moved on from her. I love knowing that she's proud of me, it means a lot. Of course I'll never tell her any of this, she doesn't need to know. I rubbed my head into the couch pillow as I feel into a deeper sleep, only hoping everything will good in the morning.
ooOOOoo
