Everything Is Everything

Chapter Fourteen

Alex stood with the door open, and her mouth open as well for a few minutes trying to figure out exactly what to do. Marissa went towards Alex and set her hand on Alex's waist, leaving it there for just a moment before speaking.

"Who is it Alex?" Marissa emerged next to Alex, and her mouth dropped open at the sight of Trey as well. He gave them both a quizzical glance, before clearing his throat.
"Hi Marissa." He said not meeting her eyes, and shuffling is feet. Water was dripping down Trey's face, and his clothes were drenched as if he'd been walking in the rain.
"Maybe I should go." Marissa said, looking at Alex briefly. Hoping that the blonde would tell her not to leave. Marissa's hope was cut short when Alex finally spoke, "Okay."
"I guess I'll call you later." Marissa muttered, walking by Trey. When Marissa was safely in the vicinity of her car, she looked up and saw Trey entered the apartment.

"These are for you." Trey said handing her the bouquet."Trey, you really need to stop doing this."
"Why?"
"It's too much." Alex said gesturing around the room full of flowers.
"It's not enough."
"Trey you work two jobs, you shouldn't be wasting your money."
"It's not a waste."
"What're you doing here Trey?" Alex sighed.
"I wanted to see if you wanted to go for a walk."
"A walk?"
"Yeah in the rain."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I remember once you told me that you liked to walk in the rain. So I thought I'd come by and ask you."
"I can't believe you remembered that."
"So would you like to join me?" He asked standing up, and holding his hand out.

Alex contemplated the situation and the days events, shaking her head she reached out and grabbed his hand. Grabbing a hoodie, she slipped it on and followed Trey out the door into the cold, and wet California night. They walked together in silence, both of them had their hands shoved deep into their jacket pockets, and their hoods on. They stopped in front of an empty park, and Trey threw her and easy smile.

"I'll push you." He said, pointing to the swings. Alex gave him a big grin, and ran towards it, hoping on and setting herself up at a good speed. He came up behind and true to his word, started pushing her up higher and higher. When Alex was at a good height, he jumped onto the swing next to her and began to swing himself.

Alex jumped off the swing, and ran towards the slide. Sliding down, she realized she'd gotten her entire backside wet. Looking towards the swings, Trey was gone. She felt arms wrap around her middle, and lift her up. She let out a laugh as Trey twirled her around. After a while Trey set her down, and she stumbled to get her bearings, he held onto her to make sure she didn't fall and released his arms when she was stable.

"Are you hungry?" Trey questioned.
"A little bit."
"Let's get breakfast."
"Breakfast?"
"Yeah why not? We can go to Sals." Trey started walking, and Alex ran to keep up with him.

They entered the diner, with water dripping from their clothes. None of the patrons paid them any attention, and they were seated at a booth almost immediately. Alex took off her drenched hoodie, and Trey saw the goose bumps on her arms. He stood and took off his own drenched jacket, and then the hoodie he had on underneath it. He walked around to her side, and placed the warm shirt around her shoulders.

Sliding back into his seat, Alex pulled her arms through his shirt, feeling the warmth begin to warm her body. The waitress came, and took their orders within minutes.

"Do you remember when you brought me here?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, it was our second date." He said without a second thought. They sat in a peaceful silence, just enjoying each other's company while they waited for the food. The silence ensued when the food arrived, and after the bill was paid Trey grabbed his jacket, and Alex's. Letting her wear his semi-dry one.

When they passed by the park again, Trey turned to her. "Do you want to dance with me?" he asked with a boyish shyness.
"Here?"
"Yeah…" He replied shuffling his feet. He held his hands out, and was surprised when he felt her take them. They moved together slowly, as the rain continued to fall on them.

After their dance, they continued to hold hands as he walked her back to their apartment. When she reached the door, she turned to him.
"Are you okay with not staying here?"
"I thought you'd want your space."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Everything." Alex said pulling him into a hug. Instinctively Trey wrapped his arms around her, and breathed in the smell of rain.
"I'd do anything for you." He murmured.

So I don't know where I'm going from here.
