Chapter 9 Heads or tails
I need a coin. I literally need a coin that is the only way that I can decide if I'm going to talk to Alex or my mother first. Heads means that I'll call my dear mother and tails means that I need to go and find Alex and talk to her before we leave and mostly before I talk to my mother.
I was sitting with the phone in my hand holding on to it pretty hard. I was taking a breath and then another one. I knew what I needed to do and that was to make a call that I didn't want to make and that was calling home and letting them know that I was fine and that I met someone or met that is maybe the wrong word to use. To tell my mother that I for sure is doing this and that I won't becoming home anytime soon.
Beside that I might need to tell her about Alex but at the same time that is something that I don't want to do, at this moment. I think I should wait to tell her about that little fact or maybe just leave that out and wait to tell my mother about Alex until we are out on the sea sailing.
I was taking one final breath before hitting the numbers and then call so that I could talk to my mother.
"Hello" A groggy voice said as someone answered the phone.
I knew that voice didn't belong to my mother it sound like my sister, but I never thought that she would be home.
"Kaitlin?" I asked I needed to know for sure.
"Yeah. And who is calling at this hour?" Kaitlin said from the other side of the phone.
"It's me, your sister and for your information it's not that early." I said.
"Okay but what do you want?"
"I was wondering if mum was there somewhere I just needed to talk to her." I said I knew that it needed to be something more that she didn't tell me.
"No, she isn't home, I don't know where she is, all I know is that she had something to discuss with Kirsten last night and she hasn't come home yet." Kaitlin said.
"Okay, so can you just tell her to call me and that I have decided that I'll do this whole thing with dad." I said and I was actually pretty happy that I didn't need to mum about that right now.
That meant that I more or less had told my mother what I needed to tell her all I can do now is hope that Kaitlin will tell her what I said and if that sister of mine does what I asked her I know that my mother will call me soon and probably when I won't be able to talk to her.
That would mean that she will call when I'm trying to talk to Alex about this little disagreement that we have. That needs to be solved. Right now and that is what I'm going to do. Go find that blonde and talk to her.
I left the house and walked along the beach that would probably help me with all of this. I need to talk to Alex but at the same time I don't know where to start, I feel like she is the one that need to take the next step and come and talk to me but I know that she won't do that.
I need to be the bigger person here, both dad and Summer said that I should talk to her and that means that I should be doing that, they are right. I know that.
I was walking and that was when I looked out to the ocean and saw that there were great waves and there was this blonde girl out there waiting for the perfect wave and I knew that this girl was Alex. It couldn't be someone else.
She caught the wave and she did it perfect, just like I knew that she would. And as she got to the shore I knew that I needed to talk to her.
"Alex" I yelled and she turned around to see who it was that was yelling her name but she didn't move in any direction when she saw that it was me. That was just what I needed to know, I began to jog over to her.
"Marissa." Alex said, I can just tell you that it kind of hurt to hear her say my real name and not Riss or Rissa, that meant that she was kind of upset but I hoped that we could talk.
"Alex, I'm sorry about last time but I know that it's not enough." I said I can tell you that I didn't know what else to say.
"it's not you that should be telling me that you are sorry, it's the other way around, I should be telling you that I'm sorry." Alex said and that was something that I didn't expect to hear but it was a good thing.
"okay, so we are both sorry that is a good thing, I just wanted to make sure that there wouldn't be a problem when we leave tomorrow. I mean it's kind of hard to hide on a boat when we kind of need to work together." I said I just needed to get that out.
"yeah I know and you are right, I was just take back when you said that. I kind of didn't expect to hear that but let's work around that and you were right when you said that we need to let our hearts mend and I think this is a great way to start to rebuild our friendship." Alex said and she smiled. She smiled, that is a good thing right?
"I think so too. So friends?" I asked I needed to be sure that we were on the same page or at least on the same spread.
"Yeah, friends." Alex said, and I gave her my hand to shake and that when she took me by surprise, she just shook her head and took me in her arms and gave me a hug.
And then out little moment that we had was over because I could hear my phone and I'm sure she heard it too.
Remember what I said, that my mother would be calling me when I was with Alex and that is what she does. She calls me but at least I have been talking to Alex.
I answered the phone I, needed to talk to her and that was something that I wouldn't be getting around she would be hunting me down until I talked to her.
"Yes, mother." I said.
"Well it's nice to hear from my oldest daughter." Julie said as she heard me.
"It's nice to talk to you too. So did Kaitlin tell you what I told her to tell you?" I asked and I think that she did, mum didn't sound too happy.
"She did, she said that you decided to take your fathers' deal and sail with him." She said and she did sound like she understood and that was when I heard Alex say something.
"Your mother?" Alex asked and I just nodded to let her know that she was right.
"Marissa Cooper, did you hear what I said?" Julie asked. Crap, I missed that, not good.
"I'm sorry mum, one of staff members came by and said something to me." I said and it was partly true, Alex is part of the staff on the boat.
And Alex was snickering in the background.
"Tell your mother I said hi." Alex yelled just before she left.
"Who was that?" Julie asked. I knew it this wasn't good.
"That was Alex, we will be working together." I said and that was true.
"Who is Alex, is he nice?" She asked me.
"Yeah, that is right, Alex is a nice person." I said and thought to myself, I wound how long I could play this game with her before she catches on.
"That is nice to her so do you think that he might be someone that you maybe want to date?" she asked.
"I think so; I mean they are nice and pretty hot to." I said.
"Okay, that sound like someone that you like, is he a badass that is what you have been dating lately." She said.
Please mother can we lave that part out at the moment.
"Well, as far as I know they were that before and might be on the outside but on the inside they are pretty soft. It's just a side that they don't like to show to everyone.
And the conversation kept going like that for awhile and I had to promise that I would be calling more regularly.
"Marissa why didn't you say him or he. When we talked about Alex." My mother asked just as we were about to end this call, I knew it she was just waiting to ask that.
"Well, it might be that Alex in fact is a girl." I said, I didn't want to tell her that Alex was the Alex that I had been dating and that she had met.
"Do I know this Alex?" Julie asked, she wanted to know if it was the girl from Newport, she thought that it might be that girl, she had heard something in Marissas' voice when she was talking about this Alex character, the last time she had heard Marissa that happy was when she was with Alex almost a year ago.
"Well…" I started off I wasn't sure that it was a good thing to tell her that.
"Just tell me I promise that I won't yell." Julie said she wanted to know what was going on in her daughters' life and this was something that was a part of that.
"Okay, yes it is that Alex, you have met her and all of that and it's the one that I was dating." I said. Now that was out there was nothing I could do to turn that one back. Everyone knew well my mother and Summer knew and that meant that Seth and that meant that Ryan would know and then my mother would tell my sister and of course Kirsten.
To make this short, when Seth and Kaitlin will know this all of Newport will know and some other parts of California too.
