Part Eight: Second Chances
Summer took a tentative step forward, as Alex eyed her wearily. She stopped when she was a few inches away from her face, and slowly took Alex's hand in her own, intertwining their fingers together. Taking a deep breath, Summer leaned her forehead onto Alex's. Alex's eyes looked down unwilling to get lost in the brown of Summer's. Summer used her free hand, and tucked it under Alex's chin bringing their eyes level.
"Alex, I want you. I want this to be real." The words left Summer's mouth in a whisper, and Alex hadn't thought she'd heard anything more wonderful in her life. Except in the back of her mind, she remembered Marissa had something along those lines to her. She pushed the thought away, and felt Summer's breathing quicken. She'd been waiting for a response, and Alex still hadn't given her one.
"Are you sure?" Alex asked, searching for the answer in Summer's eyes.
"I think I am."
"I don't think your ready for a girl like me."
"I think I am." Summer said repeating herself.
"What about the future?"
"What about it?"
"What're we gonna do?"
"We'll take it a day at a time."
"Are you really sure about this?"
"Well if it means being with you, then I'm sure." Summer smiled. Alex leaned in and kissed Summer, this had been exactly what she'd been hoping for. They were going to be together, and that's all that really mattered.
Hours later, they lay sprawled on the couch together. Summer had her head on Alex's chest, and listened intently to her heartbeat. Her face moving up and down with each breath that Alex took. Summer turned her head to face Alex, keeping the contact. Grabbing Alex's hand into her own, she looked into the blonde girl's eyes.
"I'm really happy I'm with you." Summer said, honestly. The smile on Alex's face didn't seem like it could stretch anymore, but at Summer's words it did. Alex sat up slowly, and used her free hand to push Summer back slightly. Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, Alex left her hand on Summer's face.
"I" Alex said, kissing Summer's forehead.
"Am" Alex continued, kissing Summer's nose.
"Too." Alex replied meeting her own lips with Summer's.
