Chapter Three
( Sometimes you make me not like who I am, then I realize how amazing I am and wonder why I give a shit about what you think ). ~ Alexis.
*Buzz-Buzz* I open an eye and look at my phone, "seriously? Who is calling me at eleven in the morning.." Opening my phone I see 'Stiles' pop up and squeal. "Oh my god, oh my god." I take a deep breath. "Okay Alexis, calm and collective." Clicking the green button I feel my heart race at the sound of his voice.
"Hello?"
"Hey! What's up?" I chew my lip.
"Not much, was wondering if you were free today? I thought maybe I could steal you away from the vampires so you could chill with me and the pack. It's our day off so were all just kinda sitting around and playing games."
I close my eyes and silently scream.
"You still there?"
"Oh! Yeah. Sorry. Accidentally kicked my dog down the stairs"
"Oh. Wow. That kinda sucks." He laughs, "so what do you say? I can be there in about ten- fifteen minutes max?"
"Yes! Of course! Ill get ready" I leap off my bed and unzip my suitcase throwing clothes around.
"Great! See you soon."
"Alright, Bye!" I hang up and scream, "oh my god.. I need to get ready.." I settle for a white spaghetti strap and my favorite comfy jeans. Gotta look good and be comfy or you're asking for trouble. Slipping on my shoes and grabbing my phone I bolt out of my room and unlock Bryce's door barging in.
"Oh my god Bryce you wont believe- Oh... Sorry for interrupting.. Should I leave..? Kinda seems like a very bad and awkward time.." I look at a just-about-naked Ian and Bryce in a white button up straddling his waist.
Bryce looks at me wide eyed and Ian just smirks up at her, "Lex! Um... I swear to god it's not how it looks if it looks bad..."
Ian leans back putting his arms behind my head, "don't lie.."
Bryce slaps his arm and grabs the remote, "I swear I'm not lying! He took the remote from me and Teen Wolf is on! He said he doesn't wanna watch 'mutts' running around and I've been wrestling him for the last twenty minutes trying to get it back from him.." She pouts, "he's really strong..."
Ian grins flexing his chest muscles then tares the remote from Bryce's hands again.
"So.. Let me get this straight.." I lean against the door frame, "you guys decided to wrestle each other- barely clothed I might add, just to get a remote. Because you don't wanna watch a certain show.."
Bryce nods and smiles.
I shake my head, "Wow you guys seriously need to just fuck already.."
Her eyes widen and it finally dawns on her exactly how bad it looks and she rolls off Ian landing on the floor with a loud 'Thump', "Ow.. Thanks for catching me.."
Ian smiles leaning up, "you're most welcome.."
I sigh, "wow.. So anyways, in other non-sexually-frustrated-people news, I have a date!"
"With who?!" Bryce shoots up from the floor, clutching the remote for dear life.
"Stiles!" I smile and jump up and down.
"You mean Dylan..." Ian looks over at me and I glare at him.
"Bitch I will call him Rodger fucking Rabbit if I want to.."
Ian holds his hands up in defeat and grabs Bryce around the waist throwing her back onto the bed. She screams, scaring the shit out of the cleaning lady down the hall.
"All good! Just some girl getting raped!" I wave at the cleaning lady and she nods smiling and waving back, "Holy crap, not the sharpest crayon in the tool shed is she.."
My phone buzzes again and I see Dylan calling, "guys he's here! I gotta go, remember to use a condom!" I rush out the door and hear Bryce yell.
"It's never going to happen Alexis!"
I run to the elevator and push the button almost a hundred times before the door finally opens and takes me to the ground floor, "hello?"
"Hey, guess who? I'm outside"
"I'm on my way out right now!"
"Alrighty see you in a second then" he hangs up and I run through the lobby seeing his black truck right outside.
"Hey!"
"Hey" he smiles and I pull him into an awkward sorta hug.
"Shall we head out?" He says opening my door for me.
"Yeah, let's go" I smile and climb up as he shuts the door and runs around to his side.
He climbs up and starts his truck, "So.. How was your first night in Georgia?"
"It was alright, walked in on Ian and Bryce several times just to piss them off" I laugh.
He smiles, "wait are they a thing now?"
"No they just both want each other and won't admit it. Ian though shows it, Bryce does a damn good job completely hiding all feelings for him. However, a few minutes ago they were wrestling over the remote, barely clothed."
"And Bryce won't give in why?" He tilts his head.
I shrug, "she's spiteful and thinks every actor is a player in some way.. She doesn't take that kind of hurt very well.."
He shakes his head smiling, "I can assure you there are many actors that are not like that"
I smile at him, "name one.."
"Me.." He glances at me and smirks pulling onto the freeway.
I do my best to hold in the giggle that spread through out my body. "So wolf boy, who's going to be hanging out with us this evening?"
"Um, afternoon.." He points at the clock on his dash.
I roll my eyes, "yeah, sorry. Not usually a day person.. "
"Well what kind of person are you?"
"Nocturnal.." I glance at him and smirk at his frozen facial expression.
"Um.." He huffs, "So uh, anyways, Tyler Posey is there, Tyler Hoechlin, Daniel, Ian Bohen, Crystal, Charlie and Max.." He taps on the steering wheel to a unheard beat in his head.
"Could you tell me there stage names so I know exactly who they are..?" I smile innocently and he laughs.
"Scott, Derek, Isaac, Peter, Allison and the Twin Alphas.." He pulls off the freeway looking around for the right street.
I nod, "ahh makes much more sense now, thank you.."
"You are most welcome" he says pulling into a small parking lot, "and our destination is on our left.."
"Thanks TomTom.."
He laughs turning off his truck and climbing out. Immediately I hear a yell and someone charges him, picking him up and tossing him around like a rag doll, "Stiles! I missed you sooo much..." Tyler puts him down and looks over at me, "and who is this stunning lady?" He takes my hand and bows slightly.
"That's Alexis.. She's gonna chill with us for a bit.." He smiles nodding for me to follow him.
"Well lovely to meet you, I'm Tyler, but you can just call me Scott if it makes things easier. There's kinda another Tyler lurking around here and it can get a bit confusing." He smiles and walks beside Dylan.
"Nice to meet you as well" I smile back then look at Dylan who's starring straight ahead at a group of people.
"Aye! Guess who's home" he yells and everyone laughs and comes to hug him.
"Everyone this is Alexis, she's my partner in crime for this evening so don't be your normal crazy selves okay?"
"I don't know how to act any different..." Tyler chimes in.
"Okay, well, then take the crazy down from level 30 and make it like 14 okay?" He rolls his eyes and shakes his head and I laugh already loving the family vibe I'm getting from all of them.
"Hello I'm Tyler.." He nods.
"Ah! The other Tyler!" I smile.
"Yeah I'm the manlier one.." He shrugs.
I laugh, "duly noted"
"I'm Daniel.." He smiles innocently and hugs me.
"Very nice to meet you, my sister is obsessed with you and Hoechlin over there.."
"Well we can't wait to meet her now.." Tyler smirks and Isaac laughs.
"Woah now, careful wolf boy, she's got a Vampire on her butt if you know what I mean.." I warn and watch Dylan cover his face with his hands.
The boys 'Ooo' and Tyler and Daniel smirk, "No Vamp could be better than an Alpha.."
"Great, you're here for five minutes and you're already riling them up.."
I shrug, "sorry?.."
He smiles and shakes his head at me, "so guys where's Crystal, Peter and the twins?"
"Actually they all left a bit ago for some movie that's out tonight. Just missed em.." Daniel says putting his canine teeth in.
"Bummer, sorry, guess you'll have to come back again sometime this week and meet the rest of the lunatics.." He shrugs.
I smile, "I'd be more than happy to return and see everyone again.."
Dylan smirks, "Good... Cause you kinda don't have a choice"
Tyler grabs his drink and just watches everything unfold, "they're totally into each other.." He whispers to Daniel and he nods.
Dylan looks at them, "No No.. Just being friendly..." His face starts turning red and I giggle.
"He is my favorite on this show.." I blush and he smiles, "really?"
I nod and listen to the groans erupt from the boys, "are you kidding?! It's stiles! He's not even a wolf!" Tyler throws his hands up.
"I guess I just like that he's a goofy guy.."
He rolls his eyes and Dylan smiles. Trying not to make eye contact with anyone, "So since most of us are not present, would you like to join me for dinner?" He smiles shyly and I melt inside.
"Yes, I would absolutely love that.." I smile brightly and he does as well then looks down at his phone.
"Well it's only four right now, we could either have an early dinner, or I could show you a few of the hot spots around town and then go to dinner, completely up to you.."
"Umm late dinner.." I smile. Thank god, I don't want to leave yet to go and sit in that dreary hotel room and watch Ian and Bryce constantly butt heads. Or see that weird ass maid again. She was just way too calm even when I said someone was getting raped. Either that or she was just holding it in till she had the chance to call the police and now Bryce and Ian are sitting in a jail cell right now because of a harmless joke I made. Again, either way I am completely fine with the outcome. Who knows maybe they'll figure each other out once they're locked in a cell together.
"Shall we?" He holds out his arm and I take it, "we shall, kind sir.." He laughs and blushes.
I can't stop wondering how alike he and his character are. He's shy and so sweet, but can really be a smart ass. I'm so scared that I'm gonna push him though, he seems so innocent and I'm definitely the farthest thing from innocence. What if I say the wrong thing and I scare him away? Or move to fast and he isn't ready or use to this sort of affection from a girl? Psh, how could he not be?! He's stiles and everyone loves stiles.
"So tell me about yourself.." He says breaking my train of thought.
"Well, I was born in Pennsylvania. Grew up in New Hampshire with Bryce and our two younger brothers. Our parents were never around much so we sorta took care of ourselves. Bryce always took care of me while I was young." I shrug, "then one day the tables turned and she needed me to take care of her.."
"Yeah, I heard about that heart failure situation. It truly is amazing she's here right now" he smiles.
"Yeah, I don't know what I'd do if I lost her. We do literally everything together. She's Batman to my Joker.."
He laughs, "so you're a villain?"
I shrug and smirk, "sometimes.."
He grins turning into a small plaza, "so what have you guys done the last few months? How did all of this even start?" He turns his truck off and leans against his chair looking at me.
"well once I found out Bryce was getting a heart transplant I called our parents and they told friends and it got into the school newspaper, then the town paper and it just sorta grew. Next thing we knew we were getting phone calls from Oprah, And Saturday night live and.." I sigh and Dylan shakes his head.
"Wow...it really did happen fast.. You and Bryce had no heads up or time to just get used to the popularity..."
I shake my head, "true but as long as we have each other we're usually okay.. Family is everything to us.. Although lately she's been very distant. Not talking to me about anything anymore."
"Could it be Ian?"
"It's possible I mean she's had a thing for that man since she was like fifteen.."
"Well pull him aside and talk to him or her at some point.." He shrugs, "I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"
"She could never speak to me again and hate me forever.."
He nods, "yeah that's pretty bad.."
I smile and push his shoulder, "alright, enough about me, tell me about you. Everything."
"Off the record?"
I smirk, "off the record.."
He smiles, "well I'm secretly this badass secret agent working for a secret unknown society which is in a secret location..."
"Why are you telling me such deep, dark secrets, Dylan..." I lean closer whispering.
He leans forward, "because i trust you with these super secrets.. You won't tell anyone my secret will you?" He whispers.
I lean closer looking into his eyes, "I don't know, I might... What do I get if I don't tell?"
"You get to be an awesome secret keeper..." He whispers, so close I feel his warm breath on my lips.
*Buzz-Buzz*
I groan and bite my lip. Dylan leans back in his seat breathing slowly, "Now who could this be?!"
'Hey, thought I'd just randomly text you to see if my phone was on. It's on. See you later! ~Ian'
I glare at my phone as I shut it down, "I'm gonna kill that man... This means war..."
"It's gettin late we should head to the restaurant.." He scratches the back of his head just before starting his truck back up.
"Um yeah, definitely, I'm starved..." I rub my sweaty palms on my jeans and lean back. As he pulls out of the parking lot I turn off my phone so there are no more interruptions tonight. Not long after we pull back onto the freeway were pulling into another parking lot and he turns his truck off.
"We're here.." He smiles opening his door and hoping down.
"Here? Where's here?.." I open my door and climb down.
He walks around to my side and links arms with me, "one of my favorite places ever, Joe's Clam Shack, they have the most amazing seafood in town.."
"Just in town? It's a pretty small town Dylan..." I look up at him and he just shakes his head tugging me along. As soon as the door opens we get a whiff of fried clams and butter and my mouth waters.
"Wow that smells absolutely amazing.."
"See? I told you.. Just wait till you eat it.. It's like melt in your mouth and clog your arteries with butter kinda good.."
I look down and think about Bryce and Dylan realizes what he just said, "oh no.. I'm so sorry.. I wasn't thinking at all.."
"No it's alright, I can't let a few words effect me like that" I smile, "really it's okay.."
He sighs, "if you say so.."
We walk over to a booth and sit down skimming through our menus.
I peak around mine and eye Dylan to see if he's looking at his menu and he's staring at me. I quickly shield my face behind my menu and he laughs.
"See anything you like?"
I put the menu down and look him up and down, "actually I see a lot I like.."
He blushes and looks around, "food wise?"
I laugh, "I think I know what I want.."
"Good" he calls a waiter over and we place our orders.
"I'll have the crab cakes with the fried shrimp and a water please.." Dylan smiles handing the man his menu.
I hand him mine as well, "I'll have the beer battered lobster tail with the basket of fried clams, and a side of popcorn shrimp please." I smile, "oh! And a water as well.. Thank you.."
The waiter nods, "your food will be ready shortly." He wanders off and Dylan smiles.
"God I love a girl with an appetite. I can't stand when you guys just order a salad or eat little to nothing.."
"Oh, well trust me I have an appetite. I love food more than I love sleep.." I say playing with my spoon.
"Yeah you seem like you love to sleep a lot.." He smirks.
I tilt my head, "You wanna fight stiles.."
He shrugs, "I think I could take a little girl like you.."
I reach over the table and he quickly leans away, "okay okay chill out.."
I laugh and he smiles. Tonight couldn't get any better. I got to meet the cast of one of my favorite shows, hang out with someone I'm really starting to have the hots for, and now I get to stuff my face with extremely mouth watering food. Could it get any better?
Dinner went by very fast, before we knew it, the shack was closing and the manager had to kick us out. Dylan had blown bubbles in his water with his nose an made me laugh so hard I almost peed myself. Thank god nobody we knew was with us or we'd probably be voted off the island. The ride home, Dylan was pretty quiet. Occasionally I'd catch him stealing glances my way and smiling, but not much was spoken. It wasn't an awkward silence, it was very calm and relaxing.
"Here we are.." He pulls up to the hotel and turns his truck off, "want me to walk you up?"
"Sure.." I smile, "you're such a gentleman..."
He chuckles getting out of his truck, walking around to me and taking my hand, "I'm the farthest thing to a gentleman.." He pressed the elevator button and we step in. Again the silence filling our space. He walks me to my door and spins his keys on his middle finger.
"I had a lot of fun today.." I smile fidgeting with my hands.
"Me too.. I hope we can do it again sometime soon?"
I nod smiling, "I'd love that.."
He smiles back, "..well.. Goodnight.." He nods slowly turning towards the elevator. I take his hand, lean up and kiss him quickly. He smiles and looks down at me.
I blush, "Goodnight Dylan.." quickly I open my door and get inside, closing it behind me. I giggle and listen for when he leaves. The elevator dings and I wait another two minutes before letting my body break down in a fit of giggles. I whip my door open and unlock Bryce's, once again barging in.
"Oh my god Bryce! You won't believe what happened to me today... Uh.. Everything alright in here?" I let her door slam closed behind me.
"Yeah.. Just chillin..." Bryce says smiling.
Joseph nods to me, "Ello Love.. Heard you went on a date today. How'd it go?"
"Fine.. Bryce could I talk to you for a second please?.. Like right now.." I glare at her and she gets up.
"Yeah, sure." She walks over to me and I lean closer to her.
"What the hell is Klaus doing shirtless in your hotel room?"
"I called him.."
"But why? Where's Ian?"
"...out... Probably with Nina..." She rolls her eyes and I pinch the bridge of my nose.
"Oh god, what happened while I was gone..."
She sighs shaking her head, "too much to explain. Long story short I found him kissing Nina out in the lobby."
I gasp, "WHAT?!"
She nods, "We were gonna go out for lunch after our remote fight and I guess she had to stop by to drop something off and next thing I know they're kissing... I stormed off and locked the door so he couldn't get in. I don't really wanna see him at the moment.. I told you they were all the same..."
"So if that's what went down, why's hybrid boy here?"
"Well.. A girl has needs.. And thankfully there are some men that like to meet them.." She smiles and looks back at Joseph who waves to her.
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, one sec!"
He nods and walks over to the mini fridge pulling out a beer.
"But anyways. Don't worry about it. I told you I don't care about Ian in that way anymore.."
I roll my eyes, "Bryce you're talking out your ass.. But I'm not gonna argue with you.. Don't you have the first day of filming tomorrow?"
"Yeah.."
"Good luck.."
"Thanks, I'm gonna need it. Hopefully I won't run into Ian.."
"We both know that's extremely unlikely you won't see him at all.."
She shrugs and I smile, "in other news... I kissed Dylan!"
She squeals, "oh my god really?! How was it? What happened?"
"Well we kinda just hung out all day and then we went to dinner and he was so sweet and shy and he loved listening to me just go on and on about absolutely nothing.. And then he walked me upstairs and said goodnight and I kissed him!"
She smiled, "I'm so happy for you! You guys are gonna be such a cute couple.."
I giggle and jump up and down, "I can't wait to see him again.."
Joseph walks up behind Bryce and wraps his arms around her waist, leaning his head on her shoulder, "I'm gonna have to steal her back from you now mate, it's way past her bedtime.."
I grin and nod, "alright. Ill probably meet up with you sometime in the afternoon. I think we're having dinner with the cast tomorrow according to Dylan.."
"Okay.. Goodnight" she smiles and locks the door after I leave. I walk back into my room and just fall back onto my bed. I stay up for hours just thinking about my day with Dylan and how I can't wait to see him tomorrow.
