Meredith and Alex paid and went into the fair. They started by playing a few games.

"Alright, I'll win you a bear." Alex said looking at Meredith. She giggled as they went over to the baseball throw.

"Okay, show off, Alex." She said rolling her eyes. The man put three balls down in front of him. Alex picked up the first on glancing at Meredith causing him to smile. He threw the ball hitting the bottles square in the middle. Meredith giggled as the man looked at Alex taking the two balls back.

"Take you pick, Mer."

"That one." She said pointing to the big green bear. The man handed it to her.

"Now you can't say I don't do anything for you." He smirked at her.

"Thank you so much." She said kissing his cheek causing him to blush. He hoped she didn't notice which she didn't seem to. "Come on, I want to go on that rollercoaster."

They returned to the hotel at eight after it started raining. Their hair was soaked and sticking to their face. Meredith hurried down the hall shivering at the coolness from the air conditioning. Alex was close behind her.

"Do you want to watch a movie in my room?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said opening the door and stepping in. "Let me just change first."

He nodded and went into his room.

She soon walked into his room wearing a pair of shorts and a camisole shirt. "So what are we going to watch?"

He pulled his jeans leaving only his boxers and shirt on. He shrugged. "See what there is to order."

She nodded tearing her eyes away from him as he pulled his shirt over his head. Being a wrestler he definitely had… the type of body that makes a girl go crazy. She watched as he walked by her.

It was dark but she didn't mind it. That was partially why she snuck out of his room. She need to thing. She wasn't sure what about but she knew she needed to clear her head. She sat on the swing just looking off in the distance when the porch light turned on. Alex emerged shutting the door behind him.

"Hey." He said.

"Hey." She said quietly slowing the swing.

"What are you doing out here?" He asked. She shrugged.

"Thinking."

"About?"

"I don't know." She shook her head.

"You okay?"

"I don't know."

"That seems to be the theme."

She sighed. They stood in silence just looking at each other. The next thing he knew, he was leaning down and their lips came together. It was soft and sweet. It also came out of nowhere seeing as they had never been like that. They were friends. Of course they had each thought those thoughts but never acted upon them in fear of endangering their friendship.

"You're going to be okay." He said as he pulled apart. She just looked at him unsure what to say.

She shook the thoughts of that night out of her head as she had many times before. It happened over two years ago and there were times she couldn't get those thought out of her head. She knew he had probably forgotten all about that night, but it didn't matter how stupid it sounded. It was one of those things she would never forget.

"Find anything?" He asked. She shook her head pulling her back to reality. She looked at the TV and continued to scroll through the options.

"Ah, we can watch..."

"Oh, Hot Fuzz. Can we watch it please?" He gave her the puppy dog face.

"Did he have to say hot? Damn it, Alex, put a shirt on. I can't concentrate." She thought.

She cleared her throat. "Yeah, whatever."

"Yes." He said crawling to the top of the bed and sitting next to her. Meredith hit order and in moments it was ready. The movie began and Alex intently watched the screen. Meredith tried to pay attention, but it was a little hard.

About twenty minutes into the movie, Alex looked down at Meredith. She didn't notice. His eyes traveled down her outfit.

"She has to wear something so hot to bed." He thought. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the movie. She rested her head on his chest as she often did during movies and Alex subconsciously started to play with her hair. Neither knowing that it was driving the other crazy with thoughts that they really shouldn't be having about each other, being just friends and all.

For those of you who didn't know where that flashback came from it was from Chapter 12 more in Meredith's point of view.

I just realized how long this story is going to be seeing as they haven't even started college or their internship. And there will be plenty to go with the internship.
