Inexperienced Love
Chapter Twelve
"Thanks Kevin, I really had a great time" Lexie smiled, standing outside the manor's door. Kevin eagerly placed his hands on Lexie's waist and kissed her lips. "Me too baby" He smirked, somehow hoping for the big sister to show up at that very moment. He enjoyed the mere thought of upsetting Prue. Lexie closed her eyes and softly responded to his kiss. When he tasted her warm lips, he felt the ground moving. "I never thought an inexperienced kid like this could make me feel this way" He said to himself and softly leaned forward, pushing Lexie slightly against the door; quickly turning his gentle kiss into a sea of passion. "You drive me crazy Lexie" He whispered and skillfully slid his hands on her back, moving them slowly inside her shirt. "I wish your sisters could see this," he thought while he excitedly caressed her firm body; when he felt Lexie slightly trembling to his touch, he slowly shifted hands and started unbuttoning her shirt.
"Alexia Bennett" Prue shouted as she opened the door with a quick sudden swing. Lexie screamed and fell on her back, landing embarrassingly on Prue's feet and raising her arms to prevent Kevin from landing harshly on top of her.
"I believe it's past your bed time". Prue glared at Lexie. "Kevin, I think you better leave before I do something I might regret" Prue crossed her arms before her chest and stared angrily at the couple of lovebirds still laying on the foyer's floor. Kevin smiled and slowly got up, not even bothering to help Lexie; He glimpsed at Prue and slowly dusted his clothes. He was indeed satisfied with what he had accomplished.
"Yeah, whatever" Kevin hissed. "Besides, I was already leaving" He swiftly moved towards the door and smiled cynically. Prue was furious, trying to keep her self-control and keeping the door open.
"See you at the Faculty Lex" Kevin stood by the door and blew her a kiss. He then turned to Prue and gently kissed her cheek before he left, leaving a fuming Lexie sitting on the floor, nervously buttoning up her shirt.
"It's 1:00 am Lexie, you were supposed to be here at 11:00 pm" Prue stared angrily at her little sister and signaled her wristwatch. "I need an explanation; I need to know why did you let him do... why did he... damn it, you know what I mean!" Prue exhaled deeply.
"No Prue, I don't know what you mean!" Lexie looked up and finished buttoning her shirt; still sitting on the floor.
"He had his dirty hands all over you... for God's sake!" Prue shut the door and glared back at her sister. "He was trying to take your shirt off... I saw him!" Prue shook her head with annoyance. "What in the world were you thinking, Alexia Bennett?!"
"Nothing! I wasn't thinking, I don't have a brain, remember? My older sister does all the thinking for me... Ugh! I hate you Prue!...now I can't even have a private moment for myself" Lexie got on her feet and glared shortly at her sister. "You're not my mother, so stop acting like one!"
"Wait a minute there missy.... Private moment? You are waaay too young to be having 'private' moments; and why are you so pissed? I'm the one who's supposed to be pissed, not you!"
"Oh yes, I know... you're pissed because you're jealous! Not because I'm late or anything; you still like him don't you?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Prue was astounded.
Lexie rolled her eyes. "Oh...suddenly you have amnesia, how convenient"
"Listen young lady, you better stop going around the bushes; I need to know what you're thinking, and I need to know now"
"You know what I'm talking about, Prue, Kevin told me everything" Lexie hissed and hastily ran up the stairs.
"Alexia, get your butt right back here" Prue yelled, trying to stop her youngest sister but Lexie continued her way to her room.
"Lexie, I'm warning you!" Prue yelled again but only got a loud slamming door noise in response.
"Gotta hand it to you Prue; you really outdid yourself this time" Phoebe scolded her sister as she witnessed the whole scene standing outside the living room.
"Don't start this Phoebe, please, I'm not exactly thrilled about our sister's irresponsible behavior right now" Prue stroke back her hair and walked disappointedly to the living room.
"So what else is new, Prue?" Phoebe rolled her eyes and followed her sister to try to calm her down; even though she knew it was going to be impossible.
"She has to understand that there are certain rules that need to be followed in this house" Prue shook her head and sat on the sofa. "She is acting like a baby" She slowly turned to meet Phoebe's eyes. "I don't know what's going on with her."
"She is only 18 Prue...don't expect her to act like an adult because she's not, she's a teenager, for Christ's name!"
"Oh good...that's just great! you are now taking her side; always backing up her wild and irresponsible behavior!" Prue sighed. "You probably even think that she's acting 'so cool!'" Prue threw both hands to the air and turned her back on Phoebe. "And she lied to us...she deliberately lied to us!"
"Why do you say that?" Phoebe asked.
"Do you know if Kevin's her boyfriend or if she's in love with him?"
"Uhm...N-no, I... I don't know!" Phoebe lied and quickly changed the subject. "And FYI...I'm not siding up with her Prue, I'm just telling you that she is young and she needs to have a normal life, unlike us." Phoebe was now pissed about the stupid argument. "Don't you remember when we used to do exactly the same thing and Grams was always on our backs?"
"Phoebe, she's eighteen, and that bastard was all over her, and they aren't even boyfriends"
"And how old do you think we were at that time?!"
"Whoa! What the hell is going on here?" Piper asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she entered the room. "I think half people in this city can hear you guys yelling at each other" Piper yawned.
"It's about Lexie" Phoebe answered without even looking at her drowsy sister. "Prue is over reacting; again... as always"
"Over reacting my ass!". Prue got up from the sofa and walked toward Phoebe.
"Guys, guys!......Piper quickly ran and placed herself between her sisters. "Lets not get too excited here, shall we?" She smiled nervously.
"Prue thinks that we are raising our little sister to become some kind of Mother Theresa; right Prue?" Phoebe's sarcasm was at its best. She deliberately moved across the room; trying to get away from her sister's reach. She knew very well what Prue was capable of doing when she was heated.
"You know that's not true Phoebe, I just want to take care of her; we promised Victor we would"
Piper glanced from Prue and back to Phoebe, obviously waiting for Phoebe's retort.
"You don't have to remind me of that, 'Prue Halliwell', I know we promised Dad to raise our half sister as one of us, I am not stupid, but that has nothing to do with the fact that you are making her life so miserable, you can't even let her breath on her own, you'll end up suffocating her"
Piper turned her gaze to the oldest sister and nodded. "She's got a point there sis" She smiled shyly.
"That is so not fair... Phoebe, Piper" Prue swiftly connected her blue eyes with her sister's. "You both know she needs extra care and extra protection, because she......."
"Has no powers! Yeah, yeah, I've heard that song before... so many times." Phoebe cut off Prue's words and rubbed her temples with both hands in little circled motions, slowly walking away from her sisters. "It's useless, there's no way I can get through you"
Piper shook her head and gazed at Prue, obviously blaming her for Phoebe's upset condition. "Guys, guys... what's the matter with you?" Piper wrapped her arms around Phoebe's body. "You're making a big fuss out of nothing", Piper scolded. "Please, both of you, just get over it!"
"Well tell that to our big sister, she's the responsible one; she loves going crazy over Lexie's 'normal' teenage behavior". Phoebe raised her voice and glared at Prue.
Prue rolled her eyes and plunged herself on the sofa. "Yeah, it's my fault, all my fault, as always; but does either one of you remember the hell she went through a few months ago in that stupid detention center? The way she struggled against her addiction? All the tears she shed trying to forget about that girl... 'Sophie', which by the way is now alive and well and upsetting Lexie"
"Well, I'm not saying that she shouldn't be looked after, I'm just saying that you keep getting on her back almost on a daily basis, and she's like in a bad mood all the time, and... it is your fault Prue... You nag too much"
"I nag too much?!... I – nag - TOO MUCH?!" Prue slowly walked towards Phoebe.
"Ok, both of you; stop it, stop it, and try to calm down, are you with me?" Piper intervened, placing her hands on each of her sister's chests. "Girls, will you please just forget about this, or at least let it sleep until tomorrow? ... it's awfully late and we're all tired"
"You do!" Phoebe shouted. "You nag too freaking damn much"
Piper placed both arms on her hips and stared at her sisters. "You know...the not answering thing... not cute!" she slightly shook her head.
"Whatever" Prue snapped at Phoebe, still not noticing Piper's arguments. "I know I'm doing the right thing and she has to learn either the easy way or the hard way" She smiled defiantly and left the room.
"Poor Lexie, I swear one of these days she's just going to disappear from our lives; she's going to runaway from home and we are not going to be able to stop her" Phoebe shook her head; "And you know what's the worse thing about all these? ... That we are acting sooo selfish, and she's going to be making the right decision if she ever decides to leave this 'Halliwell Convent'"
"Don't even think about that sis" Piper sighed and sat down. "Besides, she doesn't have a place to go"
"Piper... that would be the least of her worries if she ever decided to leave"
"Open the door Lexie" Prue knocked firmly and waited for her sister to let her in.
"Go away Prue, there's no way I'm going to let you in"
"You better open the damn door Alexia"
"I said no!"
"Ok, if that's the way you want it, I'm coming in and I swear it won't be pretty; I don't give a damn if I have your permission or not!" Prue squinted her eyes and the door was quickly opened with a loud crash. Lexie screamed and promptly backed as far away as she could from her angry sister.
"What's the matter? Why did you scream? I am not going to hurt you" Prue softened her tone of voice and tried to grab her sister's arm.
Lexie shut her eyes and lifted her arms to shield herself, waiting for the imminent blow and instinctively backing away to avoid being hurt.
"I said I was not going to hurt you" Prue raised her voice.
"I know" Lexie spoke tensely. "It's just that I'll never get used to those kind of weird things that you do" Lexie swallowed nervously but didn't loose sight of her sister's hand.
"Come on Lexie, calm down, you know we could never harm you; you've been with us for quite a while now; don't you think it has been enough time for you to know that? Or at least to get used to our powers?" Prue softened her tone of voice to calm her sister.
"No, you know how I feel about this, I wont ever accept 'those...those...'
"Ok, ok, we'll talk about 'that' later, right now we need to talk about your irrational behavior".
"No; correction... 'You' need to talk, because I don't; and besides, I don't think I did anything wrong"
"Lexie!"
"Prue!"
"You're grounded"
" Ha! Here we go again, in your dreams! I'm not a kid anymore; can't you understand that? And you're not my mother!"
"Well you could have fooled me young lady!" Prue narrowed her eyes. "I think you are still a baby, or you wouldn't be acting like one"
"Well maybe you are right" Alexia glared at her sister. "But then again, compared to you, everybody is a baby!"
"That's it missy, you are way out of line here" Prue walked towards her baby sister and tried to grab her by the shoulders. "I don't know what Kevin told you, but to tell you the truth, I don't care; and either you stop acting like a spoiled brat or..."
"Or what?!" Lexie shouted; slowly stepping back. "Don't touch me!"
Prue felt rage boiling wild inside her veins and cruelly slapped her sister's face, making her fall harshly on the floor. "You said Kevin was not your boyfriend!" She spat, not showing any signs of repentance.
"What? I don't have to tell you anything, I'm eighteen years old for God's sake, and you do not need to be monitoring my sex life; or tell me, do you want Kevin for yourself?" Lexie chuckled, softly getting on her feet and rubbing her face. Prue tightened her fists and lunged over Lexie.
"Prue!!" Piper arrived just in time to pull her sister away. "Are you ok sweetie?" She hugged Lexie tightly and kissed her forehead, glaring at Prue over her shoulder. Lexie didn't answer, her tears blended quickly with the blood that slowly trickled down from the corner of her mouth.
"No, she's not ok Piper; your little sister here is crazy, she's hallucinating or something; she...she thinks that I have a thing going for that jerk, Kevin!"
"Well you do... admit it!" Lexie shouted.
"That's it!" Prue threw both hands to the air. "I'm getting out of here; we'll finish this conversation later, when you are calm"
"Yes...how convenient" Lexie mocked and plunged herself on her bed.
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Prue walked towards the bed.
"Prue, that's enough" Piper stood between them.
"No Piper, this is definitely not enough, she started this, now she has to finish it"
"It's ok Piper, I don't mind...really" Lexie got up and pulled Piper beside her. "I know you still like Kevin" She glared at Prue. "You just won't admit it...and I know you tried to be extra 'friendly' with him the other day...but you just won't admit that either"
"Alexia, this is a joke isn't it?" Prue narrowed her eyes with disappointment.
"Let's see if you still think of it as a joke after I speak to Andy"
"You wouldn't dare!" Prue warned her. "You're out of your mind"
"No I'm not, but you, on the other hand, are a fraud; poor Andy...he doesn't know the kind of... he has for a girlfriend"
"That's enough Lexie" Piper spoke with authority. Lexie gave a quick glance to her sister and went back to bed. Piper saw the pain in Prue's eyes and grabbed her arm to gently pull her out of the room.
"Calm down Prue, you both need to calm down... I promise things will look different in the morning" Piper spoke sweetly and softly wiped the tears away from her sister's cheek. Prue closed her eyes tightly and slowly buried her face on her sister's shoulder. She was devastated.
