Alright, so here's chapter seven. This one's about Alex. Enjoy!
Alex walked inside of the beautiful sanctuary in her church. She saw Dean standing in the corner waiting for her, and she walked over to him. He smiled and hugged her asking her how she'd been doing.
"I've been great," Alex told him flashing her perfect teeth at him. "Oh guess what I got to day?"
"What's that?" Dean asked her. Alex held up her finger.
"Okay so you're either married or..," Dean joked. Alex laughed softly.
"Nah it's just a purity ring," Alex said. "Well, not just a purity ring but you understand what I'm trying to say. My mom gave it to me this afternoon as a sign of her and my dad's love for me. Ain't it purdy?"
"Yep," Dean told her. "That it is. But not as nearly as pretty as you." He kissed her forehead.
"Aww aren't they so cute Mary?" Alex heard a familiar voice ask behind her. She turned around and saw Miss Beth-Ann Crawford standing next to Miss Mary Davidson. Miss Crawford and Miss Davidson were both older women and were both extremely devout.
"Yes young love is just the most marvelous thing," Miss Davidson crooned in response.
"How have you two been?" Miss Crawford asked.
"Fantastic," Dean said.
"Same here," Alex echoed.
"Well, you two will be coming to the banquet this coming Thursday, I assume," Miss Crawford half asked, half told. She was clearly expecting a "yes" in return.
"I'll be there," Dean said first then turned to Alex. "How about you honey?"
"Absolutely," Alex said.
"Wonderful," Miss Crawford exclaimed. We need more young people like you two in this church, ones that devote themselves to the Lord and are actually involved in church, instead of going out and partying with their friends." Miss Crawford looked over at Gigi Parker when she finished her statement. Gigi was laughing along with her two minions, Sarah and Chelsea. Her purple, velvet dress was way too short for church and her makeup made her look like a two-cent whore. She pushed some of her long blonde hair behind her shoulder. Miss Crawford shook her head turning back to Alex and Dean. "Well, we really must be going," she said. "It was nice speaking to you two."
"Have a lovely evening," Miss Davidson said following Miss Crawford over to the rest of the seniors. Just then Gigi walked over to Alex and Dean.
"Hi Alex," she said feigning kindness. "Hi Dean," she said flirtatiously twirling a strand of her blonde hair around her finger.
"Hey Gigi," Dean said back. "What's up?"
"Oh nothing much," Gigi said. "But I was actually wondering if you'd want to come out with me and a few friends after this church get together. I would invite you Alex but I know it's already past your bed time," Gigi said lightly but Alex knew it was supposed to be mean. Apparently Dean didn't because he said he'd think about it.
"I'm going to go get something to drink," Alex told him not being able to stand the sight of her arch enemy outright flirting with her boyfriend.
"Okay," Dean said but then turned back to Gigi who simply said "Take your time." Alex decided to slip outside and she began walking down the street.
"Well, well, well," someone said behind her. "What do we have here? Just my luck. The good little Christian girl walking downtown alone." Alex turned around and came face to face with Nate Black. Of course.
"What do you want Nate?" Alex sighed already annoyed.
"Oh I think we both already know the answer to that question," Nate told her raising an eyebrow suggestively. Alex scoffed.
"Well if that's the reason you're following me, you can just stop now," Alex told him.
"Whoa hold on a sec," Nate said. "Who said I was following you? Its downtown. Everyone goes downtown on Saturdays."
"Well, I'm here for church," Alex said. "And you're here-"
"To get wasted," Nate finished for her. "Wanna join me?" Alex glared at him and began to stalk off. Nate just chuckled and continued following her. "I'm sorry was that too forward?"
"I gotta go," Alex told him speeding up her pace. Nate grabbed her arm. "Wait," he demanded and Alex's head whipped around, her black hair flipping behind her.
"What?"
"Do you wanna hang out tonight?" Nate asked.
"I've got a boyfriend," Alex scoffed.
"Someone's a little high on themselves," Nate taunted. "Who said it was a date?"
"I know you," Alex said.
"Fine," Nate backed away letting go of Alex. He continued walking down the street, and Alex followed behind him. Hearing her footsteps, Nate turned. "The other church is that way," he informed her pointing down the opposite side of the road. Then he left. Alex watched him go before turning and heading back to the church.
R&R :)
