Mara Jaffray's POV
"Mara, I need to tell you something!" Alfie blurted, a sense of fear smothered across his face. I glared at him, but then calmly waved for him to come in . He stepped forward, shutting the door behind him. "Um," Alfie muttered. His eyes were filled with fear. "I don't really know how to say this," Alfie said as he turned towards the door, and began to twist the knob.
I popped off my bed, and pulled Alfie back in. "What is it Alf-" I started, but before I could finish, his lips were locked with mine.
He wrapped his arms around my back, and pulled me closer. He bit my lip, and then slipped his tongue into my mouth. I wrapped my arm around him, and kissed back a little. I circled my tongue around his, and that is when I realized what I was doing. I wasn't kissing just anyone, I was kissing Alfie. And then I realized that Alfie is dating Willow.
I unwrapped my arms from around him, and then pulled away. I wiped my mouth, and then looked at him. He was standing there looking heartbroken, but that didn't stop me from leaning over and smacking him. "Your dating Willow!" I screeched!
"No, she just dumped me, she said something about still loving Jerome," Alfie replied sadly. By now tears were streaming down his face. I really felt for him, but I wasn't in love with Alfie.
"Am I just your second then?" I softly asked.
Alfie started to cry a little bit harder when he said, "Actually, you're my third. I miss Amber! Mara, why did I ever let her leave?" I pulled Alfie into another hug, and placed a gentle kiss on his lips being careful to not allow his tongue to once again slip into my mouth.
"Alfie. I know how hard this must be on you, but we all love you, and Amber, she isn't coming back," I stated to Alfie trying to calm him down. He leaned in for another kiss, but I didn't allow it. I loved Alfie like a brother, and as Mick would say; we're mates, not dates.
Alfie Lewis's POV
Her lips were so soft, softer than Willows, but not as soft as Ambers. Mara was just another goddess who rejected me, I had blown it with Willow, Amber, and now with Mara. I turned away from Mara, and began heading towards the door once more. I stretched my arm out until my hand was clasped around the doorknob, and twisted it.
I opened the door, only to reveal the person I had be waiting for.
"Amber."
