Part Four: All This Time
When Alex awoke that morning, she felt a leg tangled in her own. Glancing to her left, she saw a mess of dark hair. She lay awhile watching the other girl sleep, feeling something flutter in her stomach. 'No, this can't mean anything she's Marissa's best friend, she's dating Seth. No, get a hold of yourself.' Alex thought to herself. The girl to her left started to twitch, and her eyes opened a flicker.
"Hey" Summer mumbled looking at Alex and closing her eyes.
"Hi" Alex breathed out, unable to think clearly.
"What are your plans for today." She asked mumbling again, her mouth in the pillow.
"I'm not sure yet why?" Keep talking, Alex told herself.
"We should do something."
"Like what?" The thought of spending time with Summer enthralled her.
"I don't know something fun, go shopping or yeah I don't know."
"Sure, I mean yeah."
"Okay, sounds like a plan." Summer yawned.
"Wait what about Seth?"
"What about him?" At the mention of his name, Summer's eyes opened and bore into Alex's.
"Don't you need to spend time with him or something since you guys are like boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Summer was silent awhile, then she took a deep breath and pulled her hand out from under her head, pulling it in front of Alex.
"Pinky swear, you won't tell anyone?" Summer asked extending her pinky.
"Cross my heart and hope to die." Alex responded, hooking Summer's pinky. The touch of their skin gave Alex another flutter.
"Cohen and me I don't know. I mean I love him….but lately I just feel like everything we've been through…I just don't know anymore. What if there's something else out there someone else out there? It's weird because a little while ago I could have sworn I would do anything for him, but now it's just kind of…" Summer's voice broke off; she sniffled but kept her composure.
Alex bit her lip, to keep from saying anything. This girl made her feel something she thought she wouldn't be able to feel anymore.
Summer's eyes continued to bore into Alex's, finally breaking contact after awhile. It was then that Summer realized her leg was tangled around Alex's.
"Sorry about that, I move around when I sleep unless someone's like holding me down." She said pulling her leg away.
"It's cool, so what'd you wanna do today?"
"I kind of want to go to the mall; I just want to relax and forget everything."
"Sounds like a plan." Alex said getting out of bed and stretching.
Instead of going home Summer borrowed some of Alex's clothes, after an hour both of the girls were ready for the day ahead. Luke decided to spend the day with Ryan, and try to help him through the tough time he assumed Ryan was going through.
"So where to?" Alex asked turning the ignition to start the car.
"Anywhere, someplace fun preferably." Summer responded playing with the knobs on the stereo. Summer watched the scenery from her window, humming along to the radio. After 20 minutes, Alex finally pulled into a parking spot. Summer got out of the car and ran to Alex's side of the vehicle dragging the blonde girl out of the car.
"I can't believe you chose this place!" She screamed excitement filling her voice.
"You said you wanted to go somewhere fun, what's more fun then this?" Alex asked gesturing to her surroundings. Summer hooked her arm through Alex's and dragged her along; it was like she was a little kid again.
After a few hours both girls returned to the car, their arms still hooked together. A big smile on both their faces,
"That was so much fun." Summer said her smiling getting larger. Alex didn't respond, she just laughed.
"So what're we doing now?" Summer asked buckling her seatbelt.
"Uhhh whatever you want I guess."
"You're not sick of me yet?" Her voice full of playfulness.
Alex laughed before responding, "Not yet."
"Good, what do you want to do now?"
"We could just hangout and talk. I mean if you wanted to that is." Alex added quickly, unsure if that would cross the line.
"That sounds great." Summer said surprising Alex.
The car ride back to Alex's apartment was silent. Thoughts were bouncing around in Summer's head, 'I really like spending time with her…we're so comfortable around each other. Like we've known each other for a long time.' Alex pulled into her designated spot and Summer broke out of her daze. They headed back into the apartment arm in arm, laughing all the way.
"Are you hungry?" Alex asked looking into the fridge.
"Yeah, starved."
"Umm well I have beer, and beer, oh and a cupcake. Let's order some takeout."
"Sure sounds good." Summer said, watching Alex dial a number and order something.
"Okay well the food will be here in a little bit, I'm gonna just wash these dishes before they rust through."
"Alrighty." Summer replied getting up and leaning against the countertop watching Alex wash dishes. 'I never knew Summer was this pretty…' Alex thought to herself.
When the dishes were done, the food arrived. Summer had her own carton and was stabbing at things with a fork. Alex laughed to herself watching Summer attempt to stab an egg roll. They sat Indian style across from each other trading cartons every now and then. After finishing most of the food, Alex stretched out on the couch while Summer dug through the fridge. She walked over and took half a bite of a cupcake, smacking her lips.
"This is so good." She exclaimed showing Alex the remains of the bite in her mouth. "Here open." She continued holding the cupcake out to Alex for a bite.
Summer knew that she should be feeling sad about the loss of her best friend, and for the way she was feeling towards her boyfriend; however all she could feel in the moments spent with Alex were happiness. The weird thing was she hadn't known Alex very long, truth be told they had only really started being friends when she saw her again near the Bait shop.
She looked over at the blonde girl watching the movie on TV, surprised that she enjoyed spending time with her and didn't want it to stop. Alex could feel Summer's eyes on her, but she pretended to be oblivious to it.
