Chapter 14.
Speak Low If You Speak Love.
Standing on opposite sides - both girls just stood there, as they realise that this was the first time they were alone since what happened back at Alex's place. There was a shuffling of feet outside the blonde's door as she see's the shadows of the lanky brunette on the other side moving about. Alex almost jumped as she heard a light knock on the door. Taking a deep breath she unlocked the door and opened it slowly, to see the tanned girl, staring nervously at her feet. "Umm.." Marissa started "Uh-Do you know how to put this thing on, I swear to god it's not a top, it's more like something they just shredded up and decided that it looks fashionable enough that they might as well try and sell and get it for...let's see...78.95?! Are you kidding me?! Who the hell would buy such a piece of crap?!" said an exasperated Alex, trying to break the tension. Marissa seeing Alex trying to put on the top was so adoreable she started laughing. "What? What's so funny? Seriously Riss, I don't understand how this is supposed to be a top!" "Haha i'm sorry Al, but for one thing, that's not a top," "WHAT?! Then what the heck is it?!" "I think it's what most people would call a scarf." "This is a SCARF?! But it's...it's...it's so huge and wide..." "That's because it's the type that you can wrap around yourself sort of like a poncho - but like a scarf type" "Fashion is definitely not my thing, cuz I am clearly confused as to what you just said.." the blonde responds as she is struggling out of the so-called "scarf." "Here, let me help you" the brunette says as she continued chuckling to herself. She brought her hands up to unravel the piece of fashion disaster off of Alex. As she leaned closer to Alex, the blonde couldn't help but inhale the strawberry scent the girl smelled of. As Marissa pulled away, green eyes met with blue eyes, and they just stared at each other, as they inched closer together. "Al.." she whispered. Both girls closed there eyes as there lips touched in a very slow kiss, which then later progressed to something more of a power struggle. Alex began kissing Marissa softly at first, making sure that the other girl was alright, until finally she could feel that the brunette wanted more, so she kissed her harder and pushed her gently towards the wall. Hands in each other's hair, all over each other and ending with Alex's hands around Marissa's waist and the brunette's arms around Alex's neck. "I missed you..." Alex let out as she stared at the girl in front of her. "I missed you too..so much..." "I'm sorry, about how I reacted back then, I just didn't want to get hurt again, and I guess my insecurity kicked in and I ran. I'm so so sorry Riss.." "It's okay...after that whole thing, it got me thinking as well. It got me thinking how much I missed having you around which, at first, I thought would be normal cuz you were my friend, but then I realised you mean so much more to me...I care about you and like you so-" she was cut off by Alex's lips as they continued on kissing each other until they were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Hey you guys! We're back with ice cream! Did you tell Alex that that top wasn't actually a top but a scarf hahaha" laughed Summer. "Wait. She knew it was a scarf all this time, but she didn't tell me?!" "Haha yup!" "Oh, she's gonna get it..." "Aw baby, you're so cute when your angry haha" "I am not cute. I'm GRR! - wait. Did you just call me baby?" "Maybe..." the girl says while looking down at her feet again. Alex smiled as she lifted the girls chin and gave her a light kiss. "I like it." "Me too." Before Alex went to open the door, "Al, wait." "What?" "What are we going to do? I mean...Ryan and you and Brooklyn..." "I don't know...I mean-" "What are you guys doing in there? Diggng for China?! Geezes hurry up! Your ice cream is melting and if it gets on my clothes i'm so going to go rage blackout on BOTH your asses!" cut in Summer. Alex rolled her eyes as she looked at Marissa again. "I don't know. Are you sure this is what you want?" she asks looking deep into the other girls eyes. "I..." "Okay, either you guys come out now or i'll break down the door!" yelled the impatient girl. "Alright! Alright! We're coming!" as she opens the door "Geezes, Summer. Demanding much?" replied Alex as she took her ice cream from the girl. Marissa followed in suit and took the ice cream from her crazy best friend and muttered out a "thanks, Sum.."
