More chapters. Reading and reviewing is very cool.
Thanks.
Marissa and Alex had just got into Alex's car and were pulling out of the emergency driveway, when Alex asked,
" So um… where do you want me to take you?"
"Oh, well my mom and Caleb are out of town, so you can just drive me home, if you don't mind."
"But the doctor, although horny, said that you should take these pills and have someone be with you just incase your head gets all sketchy." Alex said as she looked over at Marissa with a concerned face.
'Aww, she's worried about me, that's soo sweet.' " Well, right now Summer would be the closets thing to a nurse at the moment," she paused and laughed, "but I think that she may be a little too much, and never leave me alone. She tends to take these kinds of things very seriously."
"Ok, so no Summer, no being home alone… Did you want me to drop you off at the Cohen's." Alex asked, as it pained her to think of Marissa and Ryan being together.
"Um…. The only one there for me is Seth, and I think I'm god without his company." Marissa said.
"Oh so no Ryan then?" Alex asked happiness was evident in her voice.
"Um… no, I decided to end it with him." Marissa smiled as she caught the excitement in Alex's voice.
"May I ask why you ended it?" Alex asked curiously.
" Well. There were many reasons, but mainly because I realized something about myself."
"And that would be?"
"I realized," Marissa hesitated, 'should I tell her? Fuck it! This is the only way she'll know how I still feel.' "That I was in love with someone else."
"oh" Alex said, trying to figure out if Marissa was talking about her, " So who's the lucky guy who stole your heart?"
"It's a secret." Marissa said, hoping that Alex wouldn't catch on.
"Oh, ok. So if you don't want to be with the Cohen's or go to Summer's, do you want to hangout at my place?"
"Yeah sure that'd be great, why don't we grab some dvds and ice cream?" Marissa said smiling.
"yeah that sounds great, what kind of movie do you want to see?" Alex asked.
"Um… I'm in the mood for something scary, what do you think?"
"Perfect."
An hour later the girls had decided to watch The Shining, and had just arrived to Marissa's house to get some of her stuff.
"So where's Caleb and your mom?" asked Alex as they walked through the Cooper-Nichol residence.
"Mom's off at a spa somewhere and Caleb's at some business thing, probably doing something incriminating. Meh, whatever I could care less." Marissa said pretending to not care about her lack of family. However, Alex caught on to Marissa's tone, but she'd bring it up later.
"So, what did you need to pick up?"
"Oh just some clothes, ya know pj's and such." Marissa said as she made her way up the stairs to her room. Alex just stayed put, taking the view of the ginormous house. "Aren't you coming?" Marissa asked as she stopped walking towards her room.
"Uh… yeah." Alex quickly made out and followed Marissa up the stairs.
Once they made their way to Marissa's room, Marissa went straight to her dresser and grabbed a few items; meanwhile Alex was observing her room, as she was looking at the pictures that were displayed throughout the room. There were a few of her and her dad, one of Summer and Seth at the beach, a couple of some random girls that Alex assumed were from school, and there was one that caught Alex's attention immediately. It was a picture of her and Marissa at the beach when they were a couple. Alex had her arm carelessly draped over Marissa shoulder, as Marissa had hers around Alex's waist. She remembered that day, she finally got a day off at the Bait Shop and they spent the entire day at the beach, and at night well, let's just say it was a good thing that Alex wasn't working. Marissa had finished packing and turned to Alex to tell her that she was ready to go when she noticed her looking at the picture of them together, she smiled.
"That's my favorite one, ya know?"
"Yeah me too." Alex said in an almost whisper.
"Pardon?"
"oh. Um.. Are you ready?" Alex stuttered trying to regain her composure after remembering the pictures events.
"Yeah lets head out." Marissa said, smiling because she actually heard what Alex had said, but soon frowned because she didn't repeat herself.
Alex and Marissa were pulling up to Alex's beach apartment+
"Wow, I love your new place," Marissa said as she got out of the car.
"Yeah, I thought being on the beach would be pretty sweet, seeing as I love surfing. Plus my old place smelled like stale beer." Alex ended with a laugh.
"I never minded it." Marissa stated as she looked over at Alex, "I always remember your room smelling quite nice actually."
"Oh yeah I remember you saying that, but I think that's only because I put on perfume in there, but you have to admit the rest of the house smelt like stale beer."
"Fine you win… ready to go inside?"
"Yeah sure."
They were watching the movie, Marissa was spending most of her time in alex's shoulder.. Alex had no intention of telling her to move any time soon.
The movie had just ended. Alex was still awake watching the credits as Marissa was slightly snoring on her shoulder.
"No… Alex." Marissa mumbled in her sleep.
"Hey I'm right here." Alex said slightly nudging her. Appearently Marissa was in a deeper sleep than that because she did not sture.
"don't…leave..me…please" Marissa again mumbled out.
Alex was beside herself, wondering what Marissa was dreaming about. She had the faint idea that she was dreaming of their break up, but wasn't getting her hopes up.
"I.. I love Alex, please come back to me, baby." Marissa finally mumbled, tears were running down her face but she was still asleep.
"Marissa," Alex gently shook her, "Riss, get up, you're having a bad dream."
Marissa soon woke up with the feeling of fresh tears on her face, something she was accustomed to after having dreams like this.
"Oh sorry, I fell asleep, I guess the head thing makes you tired." She tried to laugh but it came out as a yawn." She began to blush. But Alex thought it was cute.
"Come on, let's get you to bed."
"No, no I'm awake let's watch another movie, I'm soo not sleepy," Marissa yawned.
"Yeah, whatever. Come on let's go." Alex said with a smile, as she stood up and held hand out for Marissa to take. Marissa gladly took it and then left to grab her bag and went into the washroom to change. After a few minutes Marissa came out of the bathroom wearing tight pink pjs.
"Nice pjs." Alex said with an amused face.
"I like yours better." Marissa said seductively, as she trailed her eyes over Alex's tight boxers and tank top.
Alex, feeling Marissa's eyes on her, and a blush creeping to her cheeks, decided to speak up. " um.. thanks."
"So where do I sleep?" asked Marissa.
"Um, you can take my bed. I put a new set of clean sheets on it, and I'll just take the couch."
"No, it's cool, you take your bed, I'll grab the couch."
"No, you're the guest. You take the bed, I'll take the couch."
"No. You take it." Marissa demanded.
"No. You take it." Alex retorted.
Marissa just smiled.
"What?" Alex asked confused.
"You're still as stubborn as before." Marissa smiled.
"Yeah. Well I guess I am." Alex looked into Marissa's eyes.
They totally had a moment.
"I have an idea." said Marissa.
"Oh... I'm intrigued."
"How about we share the bed?" Marissa said in a barely audible voice.
"Uh, sure. If that's ok with you?"
"Well, I did suggest it." Marissa smirked.
"Smartass." Alex said with a smile.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, let's get ready for bed." Alex said as she headed toward the bedroom.
"Hey. Did you call me a smartass?" Marissa asked following Alex.
"Um what? Oh look at the time. I'm tired, let's get in."
Both girls got settled in the bed, and Alex turned off her bedside light.
"Goodnight, Alex." Marissa said.
"Goodnight, Riss." Marissa smiled at the nickname.
"Um.. Alex?"
"Yeah."
"Uh.. I just wanted to say…Um.. well thanks for everything. Taking me to the hospital, and waiting for me and letting me stay here."
"Hey, there's no need to thank me, I'd do anything for you." Before hre mind registered her thoughts, the words were already out of her mouth.
"Alright, goodnight again, Alex." Marissa said, slightly shocked at Alex's remark, but secretly giddy inside that she might still have a chance.
"Yeah, 'night."
The next morning Alex awoke to find another body slightly on top of hers. Alex tried to move, but realized that her and Marissa's legs were completely entangled, and there was no way that she would be unlocking them any time soon. Alex looked over at Marissa's sleeping face.
"God, why did I ever leave her? She's the most beautiful, smartest, sweetest girl I've ever been with. She'd never take me back, she deserves so much better than me." Alex whispered as she strokes Marissa's cheek.
"mmmmm, Alex." Marissa mumbled as she began to stir.
"uh.. um.. hey, did you sleep ok?" Alex stumbled out trying to regain her composure from her little moment.
"Good, now that you're here." Marissa said confidently.
Alex just blushed. 'Is she flirting with me?' "So what do you want to do today?"
"mmm. Anything you want to do. Oh I know SURFING!" Marissa said excitingly.
Alex burst out laughing.
"What?" Marissa asked embarrassed.
"I just .. um do you remember the last time I tried to teach you how to surf?" Alex said, as she struggled with her breathing.
"uh…umm. I um.. maybe, but it will be different this time." Marissa said with a blush.
"oh yeah. Sure. Last time we went surfing you refused to stand up. You sat on the board the entire day, trying to tan!"
"Hey, I don't remember you ever complaining checking me out." Marissa said boldly.
"No. but I don't remember you ever complaining either." Alex said, joining the flirtyness.
"Well there's nothing to complain about." Marissa said as she got out of the bed.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked.
"Getting a suit, so we can go surfing. Duh."
Alex just watched her walk out of the room, with a smile on her face.
