Chapter 10
Alex couldn't help but be happy. He found his lifemate, he got to spend every school day with her, and he had a date with her. He couldn't be happier, or could he? He thought about what it would be like to wake up next to her every morning, to see her in his bed, and have children with her. Those thoughts made him realize that he could be happier with her, but he had to take it slow; so not to scare her.
He felt affection, compassion, and love wash over him. He looked over to her, and found her glancing at him. She was smiling and laughing with her sisters and had his gift in her lap. She glanced back to her group, but Alex kept staring at her. He couldn't help it, she was just different, and he liked it. Her friends seemed to be telling her something because whatever they said caused her to stand up. At first, Alex thought she was upset, but she started to walk over in his direction.
"Hi. Sean, Scott…Jenna said that you're riding home with her and Jaymi today." She smiled at two boys in his group. He wrapped his arm around her waist as she turned toward him.
"So how is seven for you?" Jewel asked turning her attention to him.
"Perfect. I'll see you then." Alex said and let her go so she could go back to her group.
Alex watched her as she walked away. He couldn't help it, she was just too beautiful. He loved the way her hips swished when she was walking and he loved the way she fit right under his arm and the feeling of her in his arms. Alex's thoughts were interrupted by one of the two boys that Jewel was talking to earlier when she was at his table.
"Dude, what's going on between you and Jewel?" Sean asked.
"Well we're friends. We're dating and we have a date tonight." Alex replied.
"So what has caught your attention about her, because you can't stop staring at her, not that I blame you, she's goregous."
"She's just different. I mean it she is. I can't put into words how she makes me feel or anything."
"Good. Because that's my sister and if you were just playing her I'd have to get involved. Even if I like you." Sean said.
"That's understandable." Alex said to Sean.
"Good, you know I like you. So does Scott." Sean said grabbing his stuff to walk to Jenna's car.
