Just That Girl
Lexington's P.O.V.
Aelita and I sat across from each other on her bed. She was finishing her make up for her date.
"Are you nervous?" I asked watching her.
"A little. I love him though. I just don't like sneaking around."
"I think it's a little romantic. I just couldn't do it. It's worth it though because you love each other."
"Speaking of loving each other, how are you and Ulrich?"
I blushed at what she was insisting.
"I don't know. We've only been dating for a few days and besides he hasn't even asked me to be his girlfriend."
"You know he wants to. It would kill him to see you with someone else. He's probably just waiting for the right time."
"I hope so."
We stopped talking when we heard a knocking on the door.
"There he is." I smiled. "Have a good time. And don't do anything I wouldn't."
"I'll try." She said as she walked the hallway.
I sat a few minutes in silence before there was another knock on the door.
Opening the door I expected Aelita, but saw Remy.
"What's up Remy?" I asked walking back into the room.
I ran a hand through my hair as I sat on the arm of the couch.
"Baby Sis." She acknowledged. "I just found out some info about you from my new friend."
"Your new friend?" I knew she moved into a new dorm, maybe she was talking about her roommate.
"Yeah her name is Ashley Crawford."
My face blanched at her name. Whatever she had told my sister couldn't be good.
Ulrich's P.O.V.
After I finished helping Odd get ready and he left I decided to go see Lexington. Tonight I would ask her to be my girlfriend. Things had been going great between us and I wanted to make it official.
I knocked on my hopefully soon to be girlfriend's door.
After hearing a come in I walked into her door.
"Hey babe, what's wrong?" I asked once I saw her bloodshot eyes from where she was perched on the arm of the chair.
"Nothing." She gave me a fake smile as she scrubbed at her eyes.
I quickly closed the door and moved to her side.
"What's wrong Lexington?" I asked again.
I tried to rack my brain for what could be wrong with her. She was fine a few hours ago when we were together.
I cupped her cheek and looked her in the eyes.
She looked back as tears fell down her face.
"Who's ass do I need to kick?"
She let out a laugh. "You can't hit a girl. It was Remy."
"What happened?"
I sat on the couch and pulled her into my lap. She snuggled into my chest with her head under my chin.
"She met Ashley."
"What did Ashley say to her?" I asked. I felt my blood boil at the girl for making her cry.
"She basically made me seem like a home wrecking hoe. Apparently most of the school knew that you and Yumi didn't like each other like you used to. So Ashley had been working for her chance with you. Well she got it when you told her yes for prom. Then she found out you told her no because of me." She finished letting out a shaky laugh.
I sat for a minute processing what she said.
"I'm so sorry baby." I apologized putting my face in my hand.
She pulled back to look at me. "What?"
"This is my fault. If I hadn't told Ashley yes to prom because I was mad at you none of this would have happened. She's mad at me for going back and telling her no and she's taking it out on you. "
"Don't say that."
"It's the truth Lexington. This is my fault."
She pulled my hand from my face and made me look at her. "Yeah you shouldn't have done that to her but you didn't make her call me a home wrecking hoe, especially to my sister. If she had an issue she should have talked to you or me."
"I guess." I shrugged. I still felt like the worst person in the world right now. Seeing Lexington crying had broken my heart. I didn't deserve to ask her to be my girlfriend.
"It's okay Ulrich really." She gently pressed her hand against my cheek.
"I have to get going Lexington. I'll come see you later." I said as I tried to gently put her on the couch.
"Oh no mister." She said wrapping her arms around my neck. "You are not going to beat yourself up over this. This is Ashley's fault, not yours. I am not mad at you."
Lexington moved and placed her legs on either side of my lap straddling me. She dug her fingers into my hair before connecting our lips. I moaned when her mouth opened and our tongues touched.
"Are you okay Lexington?" I asked when we had pulled back.
"Yeah I'm fine." She replied nodding. "It's not like I care what Ashley thinks, I know I'm not a home wrecking hoe. It just hurt to be called one you know? But I'm okay."
"Yeah." I said softly looking into her eyes.
She sat on the couch and laid her head on my shoulder.
All of a sudden the door burst opened and in came Aelita and Odd.
"Hey lovebirds." Odd shouted. "Did you ask her Ulrich?"
"Ask me what?" Lexington asked.
I gave a death glare to my best friend.
"You idiot." Aelita scolded punching him in the arm.
"Ask me what Ulrich?" Lexington asked again.
"We'll just be in the hallway if you need us." Odd said letting out a shaky laugh.
I turned to Lexington who was sitting on the couch Indian style, looking at me curiously.
Taking a nervous breath I rubbed the back of my neck. "I wanted to ask you, if you uh, wanted to be my, you know, girlfriend."
She blinked once before answering. "Yeah. You can be my boyfriend."
I let out a relieved sigh and laughed at her answer.
"Really?"
"Yeah." She said letting a smile break out across her face.
