Chapter 7
"You and pretty boy seem to be spending quite a bit of time together lately." Original Cindy commented innocently.
Asha turned to Original Cindy and laughed it off. Original Cindy only smiled smugly when Alec plopped into the seat next to her secretly slipping his hand up her thigh. Asha tried not to smile at his suggestive movements.
They'd been going at this for a few months now. Encounters quickly becoming more frequent.
Not that she had been counting or anything.
Alec quickly removed his hand as Logan and Max came up behind them grinning and holding hands.
"Could you two be any more sappy?" Alec joked and Max whacked him on the back of his head. Their little virus problem had been resolved and it seemed as if the two were permantly attached at the hip lately. Once more Asha wished she had someone like Logan, someone who was always there for her. But then she remembered last time that had happened and quickly dismissed it.
Pain, that was what love spelled. Loss.
Still it would be nice to wake up in someone's arms even if it was just a temperary thing.
Maybe she'd ask Alec if he'd stay tonight. What harm could it do?
"Don't worry bout him Boo. Original Cindy's just wondering how long it's gonna take those two to turn into the same sappy grinning couple he dissing you for." O.C. put in as Max and Logan joined the group at their table.
Alec answered with a sarcastic glare as Asha rolled her eyes.
"Good luck." Logan joked with Alec. He seemed to be more laidback now that he could freely express his feelings for Max.
That would be nice, Asha once more pondered. Dangerous but nice.
"Much as I'd love to stay and chat with you all, there's a hottie over there who seems to need some help." Alec gestured to a woman flirting openly with him as he stood to leave.
Asha found that his gesture hurt.
Why, she wondered. They weren't exclusive, they weren't even having a relationship and he was just doing some harmless flirting. It shouldn't of hurt.
Momentarily she forgot where she was and let her eyes follow him over to the woman.
"Go after him." O.C. commented to her pained expression.
"What? Why would I do that? Really you're just gonna have to get it through your head that Alec and I are not, have not, and will never be like that." Asha stated annoyed. O.C. only shot her eyebrow up.
"I'm leaving." Asha stated and left abruptly.
"What's up with her?" Logan asked.
O.C. and Max turned toward him with a look of disbelief.
"Have you been sitting at the same table with us?" O.C. asked.
Alec watched Asha leave and was slightly hurt that she hadn't come over to let him know she was going.
The girl he was with had suddenly become very dull and he would have loved Asha's help at getting rid of her.
All he really wanted to do right now was crawl into bed with Asha and never wake up, sleep with her in the literal sense of the word forgetting any previous deal they'd made. He wanted to wake up next to her for some strange reason.
The thought surprised him.
Shaking it out of his head he managed to shake off the now leachlike woman hanging on his arm and instead head back to their shared table long enough to drink a few then call it a night.
