Bad Day
Chapter Two
Once they reached Clover's room Alex made her way to a corner and sat down on the floor. Clover sat on her bed and raised an eyebrow. Why is Alex sitting on the floor?
"Uh, Alex, you don't have to sit on the floor. There's plenty of room here for both of us."
"No I like the floor."
"Let me guess: you also like wedging yourself into the corned of the room practically in the fetal position." Her voice dripped sarcasm.
"Yes, yes I do. I like sitting here."
"But it doesn't look like you like sitting there."
"Well, looks can be deceiving." She looked up at Clover and tried to smile. It didn't work. "Really, it's extremely comfortable down here."
"If it's really that comfortable I think I'll go and sit next to you." She smiled and sat down next to Alex. "Wow, it really is nice down here." The sarcasm on her face left to be replaced by a serious expression of concern. "So tell me, what's wrong?"
"I already told you: nothings wrong."
"Look, I'm not leaving you alone until you stop lying so you might just want to tell me what's wrong." When Alex still didn't say anything she leaned against the wall. "Wow, this really feels good, sitting on the floor. I could stay here for hours and hours and hours and…!" She grinned as Alex sighed and gave in.
"Fine, I'll tell you." She took a deep breath, wanting to tell Clover the truth, the truth about loving her so much and having to hide it. "I'm-"She couldn't bring herself to say it. Painfully closing her eyes, furious with herself for not telling the truth, she lied. "I'm really stressed out with studying, tutoring, doing sports and going on all of those stupid missions!" She covered her mouth with her hands. "Crap, I hope Jerry didn't hear me."
"Oh don't worry about him." She gave Alex a mischievous grin. "I debugged my room the moment I found out we were under surveillance."
"Oh" Alex was relieved but she still looked slightly depressed. Clover put her hand on Alex's shoulder, trying to comfort her but Alex only shuddered so she regretfully removed her hand. She really liked the warmth of Alex's skin and how soft she felt. Little did she know that Alex missed the shiver that went down her spine whenever Clover touched her.
"Alex, I can understand how stressed out you must be but I don't think you're telling me what's really going on. I mean, you've always been able to handle everything you just mentioned. In fact, you've always told me and Sam that you like having all of the stress and that it helps you think better." She watched the confusion that spread on Alex's face. She obviously wanted to say something but was holding it in for some reason.
"Alex," Clover was whispering. "I just want to be here for you, you know? I'm just trying to be a good friend" Even though I'd like to be so much more than friends. Alex faced her and Clover shivered when she gazed into her eyes. Alex's heart was beating faster and louder.
God, they both thought, it's getting so hard not to say anything.
"The main thing that's bugging me is-"She stopped herself and tried to change the subject. "Is that all of a sudden you want to know what's going on with me. Like, a few weeks ago you would've gone to the mall without me but now you don't."
"A few weeks ago you would've gone with me!" Clover was taken aback at how Alex had all of sudden changed the subject and how she had just yelled at Alex.
"Yeah, well a few weeks ago you wouldn't have cared if I didn't eat lunch with you because you'd be too busy flirting with half of the football team!" She had started to raise her voice a little and was now standing up.
"Well a few weeks ago I wouldn't have had to chase you here, kick down your door and basically beg you to talk to me!" She stood up and clenched her fists.
"But you didn't have to chase me, Clover. Nobody forced you to chase me and kick down my door!" She took a step closer to Clover.
"Alright, Alex, what's you're point?!" She took a step closer to Alex.
"My POINT is that you did all of that of your own free will!"
"So?"
"So I want to know why! Why did you do all of that? Why did you chase me and why the hell did you kick down my door?!" They were standing six inches away from each other, both of them glaring. Clover couldn't take it anymore.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU" Clover closed the gap between them and pressed her lips against Alex's. Alex closed her eyes and gasped in astonishment as she felt Clover's tongue enter her mouth. The kiss suddenly broke before Alex had a chance to kiss back. When she opened her eyes she saw Clover's face become covered in shock.
"Oh God, Alex, I shouldn't have done that. I'm so sorry." I should leave. Quickly before she has a chance to think and yell at me.
"Clover, wait!" Alex tried to grab for Clover's hand but she was out of reach. She ran after Clover (who was running all over the house trying to get rid of Alex) and just as she was stretching out her hand to make Clover stop a door was slammed in her face. She rubbed her nose which had barely escaped being broken and noticed they were back to Clover's room.
