Match Makers
It had been three weeks so far and Alex hadn't heard anything from Reid. She had tried on multiple occasions been wrestled away from the phone or running from her brothers with one of their cell phones in hand as she tried to send a text message to Reid only to be tackled to the ground just before she finished. She was getting sneaker every time but they always caught her at the last second. She sighed as she laid on Max's bed with him, she had back resting on a pillow against one of the end fore posters reading The Notebook to him. She couldn't help it, when it came to the sex scenes she'd blush and read silently to herself. Max didn't need to hear those parts.
"Quite daydreaming and pick a better book!" Oliver told her grabbing the book from her. "Hey! That's one of the best love stories of all time!" Alex defended as he tossed the book on the side of the room. "Hello love" Jack smiled kissing Alex's cheek only for her to smack him. "Don't touch me Jack!" Alex shouted at him, "Jesh I was just saying hello!" He defended, "Well go say goodbye and leave!" She shouted at him, he was ruining time with her little brother. Her home situation didn't help that Jack was over here all the time trying to court her as her father put it. But Alex wasn't having any of it. "Ow why is my precious flower in a bad mood today?" Jack asked brushing his fingers across her cheek. That was it she tackled him grabbing that said hand and twisting it pinning it into his back.
"Go away Jack! I'm not going to give into you so just go fuck yourself!" Alex shouted at him kicking him then storming out of the room. She walked upstairs one floor and opened a room. She stepped over the two foot tall little wall they had built of car board boxes. It was a den box for their Dalmatian pregnant mommy. She lifted her head at Alex entering. Alex had spent most of her time in here with her. "Hey Sabrina." Alex smiled scratching the girls head as she laid down next to her. Looking over Duke, the father of the puppies walked over and licked at Sabrina's muzzle before laying down behind her resting his head on her neck.
"You guys have it so easy" She said laying her head next to Sabrina and smiled when Sabrina laid her head on top of hers. "Yeah girl you couldn't be happier could you?" Alex asked her running her hand gently across her swollen stomach. She was due any day now. "Wish you would be happier" Will said laying down next to her. "Then let me talk to Reid!" She whined she had been working all of her brothers but Will and Oliver were the closer then the other two to give in. "You know I can't do that!" Will told her, "Oh come on Will! Please! I won't tell him where I'm at just that I'm okay! Please?" She begged him, "You can proof read the text's first." She said he groaned and tossed her his cell phone. "Oh I love you the most!" Alex said wrapping her arms around him hugging him tightly.
"Yeah, yeah just don't tell anyone!" Will told her. She nodded and opened a text message. 'Hey rich boy. Finally convinced my brother to get his phone for a minute. Can't tell you where I am but I love you and that I'm safe.' she text him he showed it to Will who nodded. She sent the message and almost as soon as she sent it there was a response. 'Where are you? I'll come get you. I love you too.' she smiled at the text while Will who read it over her shoulder dry heaved. She smacked his shoulder, she couldn't stop smiling, she didn't mean to text the I love you part but it happened and he loved her back.
'I can't tell you. I'm sorry. I'm fine. He moved Max here from the hospital. I can't leave him. I'm sorry.' She text back. 'It's all right I understand. Glad that Max is okay. I'll find a way to get both you and Max out of there.' He text her. 'Okay rich boy' she text back. 'Is he treating you well?' Reid asked, 'I guess. But he keeps forcing Jack on me.' She text back. There was a pause before. 'Who the fuck is Jack?' she smiled at that. 'The suitor my dad picked out. Trust me I crunch his balls with my foot every chance I get.' She promised him, 'Good.' she smiled. "All right give it back now. I think I hear Donnie coming." Will told her. She groaned.
'I've got to go. Donnie's coming. Yikes. I love you and I'll talk to you as soon as I can! Good luck at your meet tomorrow!' She test him. "I love you too, thanks we're winning it for sure. Wish you could be there. I'll be waiting.' She smiled but wiped a tear away as she deleted the conversation and gave the phone back to Will. He had back in his pocket just as Donnie stepped in. "There you are. Dad want's you at the stables. Jack's taking you for a ride." Donnie told her, she glared at him. "Alex" He said warningly. She huffed and got to her feet and walked out.
She walked to the back yard and smiled at seeing Hades giving Jack a hard time. He had some reins on Hades but he was standing on his back feet not happy at all that Jack had his reins. She smiled at her black Clydesdale horse. "Let him go you dumb ass!" Alex said grabbing the reins from him and walked him a shot distance away from Jack. Hades immediately calmed down at seeing Alex. She smiled as she rubbed his neck. "You giving him a hard time?" She asked him in a baby voice. He nodded his head happily. She smiled and walked him towards the stables and picked up a saddle quickly putting it on him. She tightened it, "You've got quite a temperamental horse" Jack told her, she smiled Hades swung his head at Jack trying to hit him before angrily stomping his hoof into the dirt.
"No he just hates ass holes" Alex smiled at him easily mounting him. She smiled at him, it had been awhile since she last rode. Sadly Alex mounted a mare and they rode off. Hades easily out cantering Elizabeth. She smiled watching Hades stretch his long legs out as he exercised turning it into a full on gallop. "Hey wait up!" Jack shouted at her but Alex was already over the hill. She smiled holding on tightly to Hades with her thighs as flew across the grass. She so badly prayed that she could just ride Hades far away from here and never come back. But she couldn't leave Max no matter what.
