Short chapter today! I guess…sorry…have a whole load of homework and I need to get it done before deadline. Grr…

It was 6 hours after Jennifer had arrived to London. Alex smiled throughout the time. He couldn't believe she was the same person who lost both of her parents and still was Alex's best…excuse me, girlfriend.

She had grown into a beautiful woman. She used to have tangled hair, having true excitement in her eyes and sometimes having gashes on her leg because of the sports she played.

She used to dress up as a very revealing teen, but now she was dressing up as a very matured female. Alex had changed too. He was handsome as ever, his hair now falling to his forehead, and almost every girl that saw him wanted to sweep it away from his flirty eyes.

His smile would be able to make a girl go nervous into an instant. The way he was, his personality and the way he could just show how much he could care for someone deeply was amazing.

Jack had changed, too. Her red hair was now cut short; still looking beautiful, and trying everything she could to not look old. Her outfit choices were almost precise, as if ever move was crucial.

Ryan was almost the same – he had been the mature person he was and still had that playful attitude. He acted like an older brother to Alex, making sure he was there for him.

Jennifer looked around Alex's place as Jack and Ryan placed their belonging on the floor to rest temporarily.

"Wow…being an agent for MI6 was worth it, Alex!" Jennifer exclaimed, still spinning around the large living room, examining the shiny wooden floors. Alex took a glimpse of Jennifer, and smiled to her astonished expression.

"Did I ever mention how beautiful you look?" Alex said, passing her. Jennifer blushed, just realizing how much she missed Alex's voice.

"Everyday...but I've always wanted to hear you say it in front of me," Jennifer sighed. Jack giggled like a happy teen.

"Do you have any idea how cute you two look together?" Jack mentioned, going upstairs. After a few short seconds, all three of them heard a sudden shout of Jack's name, obviously from Alex.

"What?" Jack asked, realizing that Alex was warning her. Suddenly an awkward silence happened and Ryan decided to break it.

"So…um…I'm gonna help Jack unpack. Great to see you, Jen!" Ryan exclaimed as he ran upstairs.

Jennifer took her luggage and started heading upstairs. She suddenly realized how heavy it was, and decided to hurry before her arms became two pieces of linguine.

She reached up to her temporary bedroom, looking at the big amount of space and the beautiful waterbed.

"And there's a balcony, too…" Jennifer said to herself. She smiled, sighing.

"Yeah, that's why I gave you this room; the view is amazing!" Alex said, with Jennifer turning her head, seeing Alex at her doorway giving her dazzling smile with a sparkle in his eye. Two words to describe him – extremely attractive.

The people who've made the rumours of Alex weren't kidding; he did have flirty eyes with a smile to match.

Jennifer looked back at the ground, feeling the same feeling she had eight years ago. She walked up to Alex, feeling a weird quiver in her stomach as she neared him. As she finally reached him, Jennifer looked into Alex's eyes and saw the pure innocence in him which made her smile and greater.

"Why did I leave you? It would have been so much better if I didn't. What do you think life would have been if I didn't?" Jennifer said, feeling as if she was talking gibberish.

"What life would like be…aah…life would have been a hell lot easier and I would know that my girl wouldn't leave me…" Alex said. Jennifer giggled, feeling soothed and suddenly felt faint.

"Why is it whenever I look into your eyes it feels like a dream?" Jennifer whispered. Alex smirked, bringing both his hands to Jennifer's sides.

"Well, maybe because life's a dream?" Alex joked. Jennifer didn't pay attention. It was official; she was lost in his eyes, and she knew she had missed him. This was the second time in her life she had to walk away, but hopefully this time, nothing was going to stop her.

"I love you…" Jennifer whispered, wrapping her arms on Alex's strong neck. He held Jennifer tighter, making her giggle once more.

"And why wouldn't you?" Alex questioned, just making a silence between them, while lying in each other's embrace.

Alex decided that staying like that was boring, so he decided to tease her. He moved his left arm onto her right arms, making her gasp, realizing what he was starting to do. He moved his finger up towards her hand, feeling the gentle, soft, and velvet feeling skin of hers.

He turned his head a bit to face hers, kissing her on the cheek while moving his arm once again to her side, tickling her side.

"Alex, stop it! Jack and Ryan are in the room beside us and…" Jennifer said, but stopped when she saw the disappointment in Alex's eyes. Jennifer really didn't want to give in, but just looking at Alex's eyes made her half hearted.

Suddenly, Jack opened the door from her room and walked out with Ryan following, and smirked at them.

"Hey, Jack, do you wanna go to the mall?" Ryan shouted down the hall. They heard and agreement from Jack, while Alex smiled, stilling holding Jennifer. Both of them heard the door close and Alex turned back to Jennifer.

"Now…where were we?" Alex asked, smirked once again. Jennifer sighed.

"You were using your evil skills to persuade me to…" Jennifer paused, suddenly stopping, having an uncertain look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked as Jennifer looked at her cellphone.

"Nothing! Geeze, you really need to loosen up!" Jennifer laughed, running past Alex. Alex was stunned for a moment until he started chasing Jennifer around the mansion.

"Jennifer, get back here!" Alex called, as she squealed with excitement and trying to jump over obstacles along the way. Alex did the same thing, but almost tripped when nearing Jennifer.

They had circled the living room several times until Jennifer gave up and Alex caught up with her and wrapped Jennifer in his arms. She inhaled, having a relieved feeling on the strength of his body.

"So, I guess you're not so mature, after all," Alex joked, bringing Jennifer in for a kiss. She smiled, hugging Alex again.

"I don't care…as long as you still love me…right?" Jennifer asked. Alex nodded.

"C'mon, let's meet Jack and Ryan at the mall."

XX

They both when to the mall, meeting up with Jack and Ryan. Jack was shopping, while Ryan explained it must have been a mid-life crisis. Jennifer shook her head and said it must have been the time of the month. Alex chuckled, unfortunately knowing what she meant.

Jennifer had gone off to get a coffee, and came back a short while after. Alex had smiled and grabbed her hand, seeing the disappointed looks of passing girls who tried to flirt with Alex.

Jack noticed and giggled.

"Alex, you're 26 and still getting all the girls. When are you going to stop?" Jack joked. Ryan smirked and agreed.

"Yeah…you might as well marry Jen," he said, but regretted it after seeing the look on Jennifer's face. It must have been an issue to her…but Jack new the real reason. The two girls had socialized a lot through the phone, and told each other about their past.

Jennifer mentioned that her sister Andrea, had gotten married early and became pregnant, and finally gave birth. Jack realized that after what Andrea experienced, Jennifer was scared to see what would happen to her. Although…Alex never realized that.

"So, there's a new movie coming out, what do you want to see?" Alex asked. Jennifer shrugged.

"Don't know. But whatever it is…RYAN'S BUYING POPCORN!" she shouted. Jack nodded.

"Yup, you are! Alex, you're paying for the movie…" Jack said.

"Then what are you guys paying for?" Ryan asked. Alex sighed, as if the answer was obvious.

"They're girls, nimrod. Girls don't pay for anything unless they have to!" Alex explained, and then wondered how he knew that.

"Damn straight!" Jack said, and laughed. Jack looked at Jennifer, and saw that she was looking at a guy who looked oddly familiar. Alex had looked back, seeing what Jennifer was looking at. Alex gasped, surprised he was there.

"Is that…" Jennifer paused, and looked at Alex.

"That's Jesse…" Alex added, remembering their friend from high school.

I lied. It's long. I'm ending it there! If you didn't read the first story, (Perfect Boyfriend) Jesse was one of Jennifer's best friends along with Tammy. Tammy and Jesse are siblings, although I might have not mentioned that in my first story…

Review! Or else…deletion….maybe…whatever…..okay? Bye, bye!
