Wow, thanks to those that reviewed or put my story on alert or favorite. When I saw that my inbox was full of stuff I was very excited, and it made me want to write more. So I did. Some may not like this chapter, but it is necessary to the story. Tomorrow (the 19th) is my Birthday so I may not update for a few days.
Milly finally took Alex's advice and started writing. At first she just wrote about what was on her mind; mostly glorified journal entries. Then she had a dream; she was being chased by something when a wolf jumped out in front of her. She had screamed, but then she saw a shadowy male figure behind the wolf and ran into his arms. So when she woke up, she grabbed a pen and paper and started to write.
Days had passed since she hung up on Claire, and they hadn't talked since. Milly figured Claire was pissed at her for hanging up, and Claire probably knew she was mad at her. Luckily, she had Alex to talk to, even though it was through e mails. He had finally asked for her number, but neither of them had actually called the other. As for Embry; he' left a message on her phone while she was sleeping.
She was in the middle of writing when her phone rang. It scared her at first, but she laid down her pen and answered it.
"Hello."
"Milly, it's Alex."
Milly smiled, "Hey, what are you up to?"
"Well, I was wondering what street you lived on."
"West Broadway, why?"
"Maybe I want to send you something. What's the street number?"
"Three four zero."
"Okay, gotta run!"
"Bye." She said and shut her phone. "That was interesting."
She shrugged and went back to her writing, but was interrupted by someone knocking on the door. Milly sighed, grabbed her crutches, and made her way over to the door. She was almost there when her crutch landed on her Dad's shoe, and she fell-colliding with the door on her way down.
"Dammit!" She yelled, not caring if it was her Grandma on the other side of the door.
Her ankle was okay, but her head was pounding. The door opened before she could move, and hit her head again.
"Milly, what did you do?"
It was Alex. Her pain almost forgotten, she smiled and looked up at him.
"I crashed and hit my head on the door." She said pathetically.
Alex knelt down next to her and pulled her into his arms.
"Why is it that you're always falling for me?"
Milly laughed, "Psh, I tripped on my Dad's shoe."
He helped her up and the two of them went to sit on the couch.
"What brings you here?"
"We have a couple days off and I knew you were down, so I took the red eye."
Milly was flattered; out of all her unexpected visits this summer this was by far her favorite. Kyle had just visited because he was jealous, Embry because he needed to see her. But Alex came purely for her sake.
"You really came all this way just for my sake?"
"Yeah, and I wanted to see you again."
Milly blushed, but looked him right in the eyes. He stared right back, and neither of them said anything until the house phone rang. Milly reluctantly looked away, and picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"How are you honey?"
"I'm fine, Mom."
"Mrs. Jenkins called and said a strange man came to the house. Is it Embry?"
"No, it's Alex and he's not a strange man. Mrs. Jenkins is too nosey."
"Will he be staying?"
Milly looked at Alex and mouthed the question.
"If you want me to." He replied.
"yeah he's staying…bye Mom."
"Bye."
After she hung up the phone, Alex smirked, "I was hoping you'd ask me…I didn't get a hotel room."
"There aren't any decent hotels around anyway."
"Okay…so have you talked to Claire yet?"
"…no."
"Milly, she's your best friend."
"She's a piece of shit sometimes too."
"Aren't all good friends? Look at us, you hit me in the balls, and I hit you in the head with the door."
Milly laughed, fully aware that he referred to the two of them as good friends. They spent the rest of the day talking and comparing writings. After dinner they decided to go upstairs, and he followed her up, all the while holding on to her waist.
They both sat on her bed when they reached her room, and Alex looked around while she looked at him.
"What next?" He asked.
"Well the county fair is going on."
"Let's go!" He jumped up off the bed and held a hand down to her.
"You serious? It'll be full of people from high school I don't want to see!"
Alex grinned, "That's exactly why we should go; I'll wear my hood up and look all mysterious and you can change into some sexy clothes."
Milly had to admit that it was tempting. He watched as a grin appeared on her face, and she hopped over to her closet.
"How about this?"
She held up a red tank to and a pair of black shorts.
"Looks good."
"Either shut your eyes, or get out."
Alex grinned, closed his eyes, and put his hands over them.
"No peeking."
Milly changed in twenty seconds flat, her back to Alex the entire time. When she was done she told him and turned around.
"Sexy."
Milly blushed, "You don't mind driving do you?"
"Nope."
"It's my old car from high school."
"Let's do it."
When they arrived, they immediately bought wrist bands, and glanced around at the rides.
"Let's go on the tilt-a-whirl!" Milly suggested.
He nodded, and they approached the line. That's when Milly saw him…with his arms around the class slut. Alex noticed her stare and followed her gaze to Kyle.
"That's Kyle."
Alex smirked, "come on, we'll put on a show."
Milly had no idea what he was planning, but she followed him. When they were at the end of the line, he took her crutches and put them up at the front, making sure Kyle saw him. He then walked back to
Milly and slipped his arm around her waist. Milly melted into him, and turned so they were facing each other.
"You know…I really don't care what Kyle thinks." Milly whispered, as she wound her arms around his neck.
"Is that so?" Alex smiled, and leaned in. Their lips were so close; she could feel his breath on her lips. They were so close, their lips millimeters apart.
"You two getting on or not?" The ride controller asked, effectively ruining the moment. Alex helped her onto the ride and into one of the cars.
"Okay, to make this even better we have to lean." Milly stated.
"Alright, I'll follow your lead."
The ride started up, and they leaned, sending the car into a tight spin. It seemed like they kept spinning; the two of them right up against each other laughing. When it was over they were dizzy, but laughing as they went to retrieve her crutches. They went to get food after that, and by the time they were done eating, Milly had spotted half of her graduating class. Alex laughed along with her, and pulled her close when people stared. They rode the rides for an hour, all except the giant Ferris wheel.
"Let's go on it." Alex said.
Milly looked nervous, but she followed him after she ditched her crutches.
"If this thing stops us at the top, I will be pissed."
He laughed, put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled her up against his side. Sure enough, they stopped at the very top.
"I am jinxed." Milly sighed.
"No you're not; in fact I'd say you were pretty lucky."
"How so?"
Alex smiled and lowered his lips to hers. They were soft and warm, and Milly immediately responded. She wrapped her arms around him and melted into him as he deepened the kiss. She parted her lips and moaned as his tongue slipped inside and met hers. They finally pulled away when it was their turn to get off, and saw Kyle and the slut watching them from the entrance to the ride.
Alex smirked and looked Kyle right in the eye as he slipped his arm around Milly's waist. They returned home after that, and went straight up to Milly's room.
"So…I'm not going to be one of those girls am I?"
"You know me better than that, Milly."
After the two of them were both were ready for bed, Milly laid down on her bed with Alex right next to her. They were both staring up at the ceiling when Alex laced his fingers with hers. They fell asleep that way, and when Alex woke up in the middle of the night, Milly's head was laying on his chest, her hand over his heart.
