-Chapter 5-

-Eve's POV-

I went out shopping looking for an outfit to wear to Alex's tonight. Cute, but simple. I headed into hollister and searched the store. I found a shirt that was only one sleeve, and it was white and navy blue stripes, and it was all drapey. I bought that, and headed to Abercrombie. I bought some denim shorts from there. I then looked around trying to find a pair of Moccasins. I always wanted a pair, but I never bothered to get any. After a half an hour I had finally found some. I purchased those, and the time was already 1 pm. Where the hell did time go? I didn't take that long. I figured I would go eat lunch, and then shop some more. I bumped into a muscular figure. The same one I bumped into at the store.

"Are you stalking me now?" Randy asked smiling.

"No, I think you're stalking me!" I let out a little laugh.

"Would you wanna grab lunch?" I smiled.

"Sure." We sat at a table and ate some pizza. "So where's Erica?"

"She's with her mom tonight."

"Oh you're married?" He laughed.

"No, she's my ex wife. We got divorced a few years ago, but yeah." I nodded.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Me and Randy talked for about an hour, realizing we were getting sidetracked. It was about 2:30 now.

"Well I guess I'll let you get back to shopping."

"Yeah, okay then." I laughed a little. Randy hugged me.

"It was nice seeing you again."

"You've been seeing me all day stalker!" I laughed and walked away. I bought some stuff from Victoria's Secret, and got a hair cut. I got my bangs put in the front. I liked the way they hid my forehead though. I looked in the mirror smiling. I payed the lady, and headed home. I got a text from Alex saying I could come over at 6 o'clock. It was already 4. Damn, 2 hours I had. I took a quick shower, not washing my hair since it was just washed at the salon. I got out, and straightened my hair. I put on a little bit of makeup, and put on my new clothes. I brushed my teeth, and went into my room. I looked in the body mirror, and fixed my hair a little bit. It was 5:50 right now, and Alex lived on the other side of town. I grabbed my phone, and slipped it into my back pocket. I grabbed my purse, and keys, and jumped into my car. It took me about 20 minutes to get to Alex's house. I parked in the street, and took my keys out. I put my keys, and my phone in my purse. I put my purse over my shoulder, and got out of my car. I walked up his yard, and approached his front door. I knocked, as Alex answered seconds later.

"Eve, hey." He smiled, as did I. He moved over for me to come inside. I walked in, and set my purse on the table, as I usually did when I came to see Mike, and sat on the couch.

"So, what are we gonna do?" Looking at Alex, I melted again. I don't know why I'm just noticing, how I felt about him, and how much I wanted him. He shrugged his shoulders. He turned TV on, and sat next to me, turning the volume down a little.

"We could just talk? And I like your haircut, it looks good on you." I smiled.

"Thanks. What do you wanna talk about?"

"I don't know..." He shrugged again. His hand reached over, touching my cheek again. "I'm really sorry about what my brother did to you. He's been having problems with our parents, and so he's been doing drugs and stuff, and that's why he's gone now. They went out of town to 'bond' and 'fix things'." I nodded a little bit.

"Oh, I see. It's fine, I mean, I can understand what he's going through, kind of... About earlier-"

"Yeah, I know that was the wrong time to bring that up, but I've always liked you, and had strong feelings for you, and I just didn't want you to feel like you were hated or anything. Because of the way he was treating you and stuff."

"It's fine, because, I kissed you, not so you'd shut up, but because I've had feelings for you too for a long time, and I just never realized it. Then earlier, I realized how I felt about you, and when I kissed you, I really did feel something. I'm not sure what, but it was a good feeling."

"Eve I think that I've loved you for awhile now."
