CHAPTER: Coke
Alec and Max walked in Crash together hand in hand. They had planned to meet OC and Sketchy there but at the door they ran into Amelia.
" Long time no see," she said to Alec hitting him on the arm.
" I was a little busy," he said with a smirk. " So how come your in a BAR."
" Well this place is kind of growing on me." She said.
Max stood there looking all over; she wasn't part of the conversation.
" So Max is Alec behaving himself," Amelia asked Max.
Max smiled, she was glad to see Amelia wasn't mad at her for they way she treated her. " He's been good boy in every way possible." She said.
Amelia smiled and raised an eyebrow. " Well it's good to see he finally got what he wanted. I swear all he did was talk about you."
Max was flattered, all the time he was spending with Amelia he was still thinking about her.
" I talked about other things too," he said defensively.
" Oh please, you were like Max this and Max that."
Max laughed.
" You your self were talking 'bout a particular person." Alec teased.
"Ok you got me there," she said. " So let's go in huh."
They walked in the entrance and spotted OC and Sketchy. They made their way over to them.
" Hey," OC and Sketchy said together.
" Hi," they replied.
" So Amelia how you've been," Sketchy asked, now that he knew Alec wasn't dating her he was thinking that maybe he had a chance.
" I'm good," she replied. She remembered she wanted to tell Alec something, but not in front of everyone. " Hey Alec can I talk to you for a minute in private."
He looked at Max, her body language said go ahead. " Yeah," he said and followed he to the bar.
OC looked at Max, " your not going to run after him to make sure nothing is going on."
" No," she replied smiling. " I know I've got him."
" That's what he's been trying to tell you all along."
" Yeah I see that now,"
" Hey I don't mean to break up your little talk but can anyone tell me if Amelia is available now." Sketchy said.
Max laughed, " I don't know, I think she interested I someone already."
" God can a guy get a break," he complained.
Alec sat on a stool, Amelia followed. " Two cokes," he asked he barkeep. He never ordered anything with alcohol in front of her, the last time he did he got a lecture about him getting a beer belly. " So what is it that you want to talk about," he asked.
" Well it's Kevin." She said.
" What about him?"
" I kind of gave him the impression that we were going out and he's coming here to tonight, so I just wanted you to know before hand."
" You tried that making him jealous thing huh?"
" Yeah,"
" Complications always arise from that."
" Well he doesn't really care anyway, so it's not like he's going to be mad at you for no reason." Amelia looked at the entrance and saw that Kevin was walking in. " hey here he comes," she moved through he crowd to him.
" Hey," she said.
He hugged her with a smile on his face. Alec wondered if this was their usual greeting. "Hey," replied giving Alec a sharp glance.
" So I want you to meet all the friends I've made."
Alec realized that she was different when Kevin was around, more innocent somehow. They walked back to the table with rest of them,
" This is the gang," she said. " Sketchy, Original Cindy, Max and this is Alec. Everyone this is Kevin."
" Hi," he said and they waved back. He turned to Alec. " So ALEC can I talk to you?"
" Yeah," he said. He seemed to be quite popular today.
" So that's your guy? Max asked.
She smiled girlishly, " that's him."
" Do I need to go outside and protect my guy?" she saw the looks Kevin was giving Alec, he was most likely fooled like she was.
" NO, he'll be fine. Kevin is harmless. I think."
Alec and Kevin walked outside. Alec stopped and leaned against the wall, he didn't know why Kevin would call him outside but he knew he couldn't do any harm; he was like the Mahatma Gandhi of Seattle according to Amelia. " So.."
Kevin just got up in his face as soon as he started to speak. He pushed him against a wall . " Listen, if you think that you could take her away from me your wrong. You have no idea who you're dealing with."
Alec rolled his eyes even though he was surprised by his behavior. " You see that girl Max, she is my girlfriend. Me and Amelia are friends and nothing more."
Kevin stepped away he suddenly felt really stupid. He didn't even know what he was doing h knew he couldn't fight but he wanted to scare Alec away. "Oh."
" Besides if I was interested in her she wouldn't be interested in me. Because she crazy 'bout you."
" Really?" he always thought that Amelia just wanted to be his friend and nothing more.
" Well she wrote you that letter."
His jaw dropped. " She wrote that." Alec nodded. " Wow I'm so stupid."
" Yes you are," Alec joked. " You also have a serious aggression problem."
" I'm so sorry I didn't know what else to do."
" It's okay just go in there and tell Amelia how you feel."
He almost ran inside. Alec smiled to himself. Every thing was perfect. He had his girl. Amelia had her guy. And the best part about it was he knew it would last as long as air was in his lungs.
He went back inside a few minutes later. He joined the table were they were sitting. He laughed when he noticed that the jug of beer was replaced with a jug of coke. He pored himself a drink and raised his glass. " Let's make a toast."
They all raised their glasses. " What are we toasting to?" OC asked.
" To happy endings." Alec said.
"Cheers," they said together. "Tables and sofas," Sketchy added.
NOTE: I'm wrapping up most of my stories. I'm not going to start any new ones until my end of term exams are over. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of ideas and some chapters are even written already but if I have too much like I do now, it will take forever for an update.
So tell me what you thought about the last chapter.
