The effects of the ruby wore off on me, so I managed to snap out of its power.
I was still in Alec's bedroom, and the slits of his blinds let the sun's raise seep through, making my pale skin sparkle. I sat there for a minute blinking. I didn't have my hoodie on or my t-shirt either. I pulled the covers off to find myself just in one of Alec's blue shirts and knickers- no bra on either.
"What the-" I said to myself.
I looked around the room, but I couldn't see my clothes. I climbed out of bed and audibly tiptoed to the door. Silently I opened the door and cocked my head out.
"Have a good sleep?" Alec's voice echoed from the other side of the room. His apartment was basically made up of two rooms; a lounge and a bedroom.
"Why am I naked?" I asked ignoring his question as I walked over.
He turned off the TV with the remote. "You're in my shirt," he laughed.
"Don't screw with me Alec," I sighed, "my bra is off."
"Yeah, I know you don't like sleeping with your bra off…even though you can't sleep, but you don't like it," he said. That was true, but we were broken up so I could count it as creepy.
"It still doesn't give you the right to even touch me," I said disgusted with my arms crossed.
"Mia," Alec said, going right up to me in inhuman speed, "you know we'll always have our history," he smiled.
I ran my fingers through my hair, pushing my fringe out of my face; only for it to fall back into its place.
"Alec," I said placing my hands on my hips, "you can't keep doing this to me."
"Mia," he came closer, "you will always be the girl for me," he got closer and closer, "we've got so much history and all those times that we were on/off, I was immature, but Mia, you're long leave of absence has brought me to my senses, I can't," his mouth got closer to mine, "live," his breath was hovering over mine, "without," his smooth, fine lips were an inch away from mine, "you," they touched mine, bringing back the memories of the love we had.
I froze mentally and physically. The memories of our past relationship washed around me, making me feel dizzy and nervous. I loved Alec, no doubt about it. Sure he had done some creepy things to get to me, but that was just Alec, it was his sort of messed up way of saying how much he loved me, that he would do all that, appear like that just for me.
Seth.
I had to think about Seth. But like Alec said, how would I decide with both around me?
It wasn't fair to either of them, they both loved me; one in a messed up romantic way and another that I was destined to be soul mates with, but I just couldn't bring myself round to the idea. I had told myself I did and I told myself that Seth was the one for me, but being with Alec, I couldn't let go of all those feelings I had for him.
What was I to do?...
