"I can't believe you are working tonight. What happened to partying it up? Just because Mar..." Jodie stopped as Alex shot her a warning look. "...issa isn't coming is no reason to not party with me."

" Jo I just can't do it. I am not in the partying mood. I am sorry but at least you can still have fun plus you get free drinks cause I am at the bar."

" Whatever I just hope you didn't act like this to your other friends when we broke up."

"Oh don't worry I didn't"

Jodie pretended to look hurt for a sec before yelling "Asshole" at Alex who was headed for the bar.

Marissa and Summer walked into the Baitshop and had it been a movie it was the kinda entrance where everyone stopped and stared. In fact a few people did just that, and Alex was one of them.

Alex mentally cursed herself for thinking Marissa wouldn't come since she knew where the party was. She told herself not to worry about and concentrate on working. But oh man would that be hard because Marissa had on a jean mini skirt and a black halter top.

Marissa finally spotted Alex behind the bar and decided it was now or never and started to make her way toward the blonde. She could feel her nerves in the pit of her stomach as she approached the girl. "Hi Alex" was all she could say at first.

Alex barely looked up because she was afraid to. "Hey Marissa" was all she said because she was trying to hide the hurt in her voice. She wasn't quite successful.

Marissa could since the hurt and mentally whacked herself because she knew it was all her doing. "Alex we need to talk. Is there somewhere else we can go?"

Alex was about to try and blow her off but thought that if anything she could apologize to the girl. " Sure just follow me to the office in the back"

Once in the office the two girls just stared at each other for while before Marissa spoke up "Look Alex I ..."

" No Marissa wait let me go first. I am so sorry about last night. I shouldn't have assumed that you were attracted to me. I really hope we can be friends because I really like hanging out with you."

"Alex I was about to apologize to you for running away. You had every right think those things, I was giving you the signals. But when you kissed me I freaked I have never had feelings for a girl and I got scared so I ran."

" Look Marissa I get it ok... you one of those girls that flirt with but when it comes down to it your straight."

"No Alex thats not what im tryna say. I tryna tell you that I didn't mean to run away. I was hoping you could me another chance."

"I don't know Marissa I've been hurt before and I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that while not purposely your unsureness will win out in the end."'

"Alex don't do this. I said I was sorry please just give me a chance I promise I won't hurt you." Marissa said while moving closer to Alex

"Marissa im telling you this is a bad idea. You have school and I live here not to mention the fact that I own this place now. My boss left it to me when he ran off. I'll be swamped." Alex spit this out while trying to control her breathing and resist the urge to kiss Marissa who was now directly in front of her.

"Alex relax please. We can make this work." Those were Marissa's final words before her lips went crashing down on Alex's.

Alex paused for a moment but it was no use. She was so in to this girl and she decided to take the chance. So she responded to the kiss.

The kiss was filled with so such longing and Alex could tell that Marissa was sincere. They pulled back when the need for air became to much to ignore. The rested their foreheads against each other and just smiled.

Marissa let out a sigh as she asked "So what does this mean?"

"It means that if you want to be you are my girlfriend."

" Whoa! Who said anything about wanting to date?" Marissa asked.

"MARISSA..."

"Alex I'm just kidding. Of course I would love to be your girlfriend."Marissa smiled as she rapped her arms around Alex' neck and leaned forward to try and kiss her girlfriend only to have Alex pull back.

"That wasn't funny babe. I was serious when I said Id been hurt before."

"Aww Im sorry hun. Here let me make it up to you." Marissa apologized as she pulled Alex in for a kiss. This time Alex responded

Alex pulled away slightly breathless as she said "As much as I would love to stay here and do this with you all night. I have a club to run now." Alex started to lead them out of the office but stopped and turned towards Marissa. "You know what I hadn't really been that excited about owning this place until now. I guess its true what they say, 'life's accomplishments are nothing if you don't have someone to share them with'." She turned an led them out while Marissa just had this dumbstruck smile on her face
