Inexperienced Love

Chapter Eleven

After a few minutes of questions, answers, explanations and ultimatums, Lexie finally ended Prue's monologue and put her cell phone away. She had let her sister know about the little joke someone played on her, and told her that she was already on her way to the manor. Karen, who was waiting for Lexie to finish her phone call, finally waved goodbye when she noticed Lexie was ready to leave. Lexie shook her head and also waved back, quickly turning the motorcycle's ignition on; She put her jacket on and before she zipped it, a man's arm went over her shoulder and turned the ignition off; it was Paul, Kevin's best friend. He stood right behind her, chuckling. Lexie quickly took her helmet off and turned around to face whoever was trying to stop her.

"Oh, it's you" Lexie sighed. "You scared me... what are you doing here? Is Kevin with you?"

"I don't know where Kevin is, I came looking for you" He smiled while caressing Lexie's

cheek.

"Me? What for?" Lexie frowned, slightly shrinking back. "Listen, I'd really like to stay, but I'm in a little bit of a hurry right now..." She smiled, trying to be polite, and nervously started playing with her helmet.

"Oh come on... I came all the way here just to see you" He reached over and grabbed her shoulders. "You must know that you are a thief" He fixed his eyes on hers, looking dreadfully serious.

"I'm a w-what?" Lexie stuttered.

"A thief! You're a thief because you've stolen my heart, my mind, my thoughts, my everything... I can no longer eat, sleep or do anything without thinking about you" He pulled her harshly against him and passionately kissed her lips. Lexie dropped her helmet and tried to push him back but he tightened his grip, completely immobilizing her.

"I thought you said you were alone" Kevin spoke calmly, wisely hiding his anger and slowly picking up the helmet from the floor. Lexie's heart pounded faster inside her chest when she heard Kevin's voice.

"Kevin...what's up man?" Paul quickly released Lexie and stepped back. "Hey, this is not what you think man...see, uhm...let me explain...she"

"It's ok Paul... I know you...you had to check her out, didn't you?" Kevin smiled. "Don't worry dude, what are friends for? But tell me... isn't she something?"

"Oh man... she's ... she's a beauty" Paul chuckled.

Lexie was nervously staring at both of them, feeling awkwardly ashamed for being treated like an object.

"I know" Kevin smiled and caressed Lexie's hair. "But now that you've found out what a beauty she is, you're going to leave her alone...ok? I'll forget about this little incident and you'll keep your hands off her... let's just keep our friendship going, shall we?"

"Sure man... I'm glad you think that way...I promise...but hey, I'll leave you two alone; see you at the club... tomorrow, right?" Paul smiled nervously, slowly walking away.

"Sure" Kevin patted Paul's back and waited for him to leave, before turning to Lexie.

"What the hell where you doing?" Kevin glared at Lexie. "I can't believe you let him do that!"

Lexie was still wiping Paul's kiss away; and she glared at Kevin. "Me? I did nothing, he bloody came here, and kissed me... he forced me"

"Oh please, don't give me that bull shit!" He unexpectedly grabbed Lexie by the top of her shoulders, grasping her jacket firmly and lifted her through the air. Lexie screamed as she violently landed on the hood of a nearby car; she grabbed her elbow and winced in pain, trying to understand what was going on.

"What's the matter with you?" She calmly slid herself from the car's hood, slowly shrinking back, instinctively trying to stay away from him.

"What's the matter with me?...what's the matter with ME!" He shouted as he angrily gave her another hard push; Lexie struggled to keep her balance. "You", he walked slowly towards her and pushed her again, "are", another slight push, "my" he shove her on the car's window, "Girl!" He ended his sentence with a sudden brutal blow on Lexie's left cheekbone, just below her eye. Lexie's face violently whipped to her right side, automatically raising both arms to defend herself. Kevin grabbed her wrists and pulled her arms down.

"Lexie... you don't understand, I like you so much, but you made me hit you; you made me angry because...because I don't want to share you... I don't want anybody near you, or, or...looking at you... you're mine, can't you understand that?" He pulled her close to his chest and wrapped his arms around her, tighter than ever. Lexie started crying and slowly wrapped her arms around his neck, foolishly falling for his lame excuses.

"Promise me you'll never leave me...promise me you'll always be mine" He whispered in her ear; pulling her closer. Lexie softly nodded. "Promise me!" He held her back at arms length and gave her another slight shake.

"I p-promise, I promise!" Lexie replied with a noticeable nervous tone in her voice. Kevin smiled and hastily leaned down to explore her lips. He started with a gentle soft kiss and quickly turned it into a stream of passion.

"Wow! This definitely turned out to be a lot better than I expected" Rachel smiled as she watched with amusement Lexie's and Kevin's love scene from the inside of her car. "Rachel, you're brilliant!" She said to herself and slowly put the video camera away. "Nice video, it will be damn useful...sorry Kevin, I was not planning on video taping you, but... I've got you!" She sighed. "Oh, and Paul too!" She laughed.

Lexie stood outside the kitchen, taking a couple of deep breaths before opening the back door. She had done everything Kevin had asked her to do; She'd covered the huge bruise on her cheekbone with lots of makeup and pretended to be calmed. She finally felt brave enough to open the door and enter the kitchen, only to find three pairs of anxious eyes staring at her, waiting for some kind of believable explanation.

Lexie sighed, narrowing her eyes and furrowed her nose, waiting for her sisters' sermon.

"Well...what do you have to say for yourself young lady?" Prue crossed her arms on her chest and repeatedly tapped the tip of her right foot.

"I don't know what else you want me to say...I've told you just about everything on the phone... somebody hid my backpack and I couldn't..."

"Oh, come on Lexie" Prue interrupted. "Drop that innocent act, why don't you just grow up and accept your own faults"

"Because there's nothing to accept" Lexie motioned her head and rolled her eyes. "I've told you the truth; somebody played a stupid joke on me...I couldn't find my bloody backpack!"

"Prue, we actually don't have a reason for not believing what she's saying" Phoebe intervened with a calmed, soothing voice, slightly motioning her index finger.

"That's right...Phoebe is right, I am not a liar" Lexie dropped her bag on the floor and grabbed an apple from the fruit plate on the counter; which was quickly grasped away by Piper's quick hands.

"Go and wash up first missy" Piper narrowed her eyes at her sister and placed the apple back on the plate.

"This is getting ridiculous" Lexie sat on the stool and placed both elbows on the counter, resting her chin on both hands. "You wanted me here early to talk about Sophie, right?, ok, I'll tell you about Sophie" She was getting tired of being over protected; and what was even worse, she was actually hating being the youngest. Anyway, she started telling her sisters about her good friend, the way they took care of each other, the way they used to fight and disagree on most every thing; but also the way they unconditionally loved each other...almost from the very beginning. She made it very clear that Sophie was her best friend; then she ended up talking about the stupid prank.

"If you don't believe me you can ask Kary, she was there with me when I found my bag. I know it's late, but I spent a lot of time alone looking for the damn bag! And I was bloody nervous" Lexie took a deep breath. "Karen was about to bring me home but luckily I found the stupid bag in a trashcan!"

"You know how dangerous it is to be alone at campus Prue...thank God Kevin is a nice guy and decided to go check up on me" Lexie knew exactly what strings to pull, and smiled inwardly when she saw her big sister nodding with agreement. There was no doubt about it...she had sweet-talked the abominable Prue Halliwell"

Lexie smiled and grabbed a Marlboro from the inner pocket of her jacket and took it to her mouth. "You should have been there with me" She looked at Phoebe.

Phoebe snatched the lighter from her sister's hand and lit her cigarette. "Sorry sweetie, I went to L.A. with Cole, I've just got back myself about an hour ago...I can only imagine how you must have felt"

"Yeah, I was pissed" Lexie drew some smoke in. "But I'm going to..."

"Put that down" Piper didn't ask, she ordered. "Soccer players do not smoke" Lexie rolled her eyes, but did as Piper asked. "Thank you baby" Piper smiled broadly.

"Yeah" Lexie rolled her eyes and smiled back, suddenly popping the big question. "Uhm...Prue...do you think...uhm... can I go out tonight?"

Prue started laughing; no wonder Lexie and Phoebe got along too well; they both used the same tactics. She thought for a moment, "Sure, go ahead... but it's 8:00 pm, you have to be here at 11:00, remember you still have to go to school tomorrow"

"Thank you Prue" Lexie jumped off the stool and kissed her three sisters before heading up to her room.

"Prue, I don't need to tell you that you're wrong, 'cause I know you know...right?" Piper started clearing the table.

"I was kind of expecting this reaction from you, but believe me Pipe, she'll feel a lot better if we show her some confidence and trust, and besides, she says Kevin is just her friend, so, we believe her and let's just give her a chance to find out we really trust her"

Phoebe nodded. "But still, I think we need to be very cautious about her relationship with Kevin" Phoebe cleared her throat and turned the other way, avoiding Prue's sight.

"You know something we don't?" Piper asked warily.

"Well...I don't know...I mean, I'm not sure, but let me check it out first and then I'll let you know"

"Ok, you do that, but be very careful, it's Lexie we're talking about here; remember she's so inexperienced, and Kevin is a...well, you know what he is" Prue spoke sternly.

"Yeah, I know" Phoebe whispered not being sure if she made the right decision; leaving her sisters out of what she already knew was probably not a good idea, but she had to try.
