Chapter Three: WHAT THE FLIPPERS?!
I was bored. So. Freaking. Bored. My parents, mostly my mom, were fawning over me like I couldn't take care of myself. Every time I try to do something on my own, Mom always pops up and commands me to go back to my room. Maybe I should call up Alex and ask to come over and hang. I sighed, sprawling out across ,my bed. I snatched up my cell phone and dialed Alex's number.
"Hey Reese. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over and chill with me. The FEDs aren't home either."
"The FEDs? "
"Yeah, aka, my dad." I snickered quietly. My father had to go back to the job site in Florida.
He laughed "Yeah, I'll be there in a few. See you then."
"See ya'." I hung up and smiled to myself. I really think that Alex and I can become friends, once we get to know each other better. I slipped out of my bed and hobbled over to my crutches. Ugh, I hate having to deal with this bulky pink cast. I limped over to my dresser, pulling out a long sleeved pale pink shirt, and some white jeans. I went to shower and slipped on my clothes for the day.
I pushed up my glasses, as I brushed my teeth. I pushed my hair back into a curly ponytail and let my long bangs fall over my forehead. I put on light coat of eyeliner and lip-gloss before hobbling out to wait in the living room. "Oh, where are you going Reese? On a date?" Mom asked, her green eyes shining with amusement. I rolled my eyes as I slowly eased into the chair. After a while, my memories are slowly coming back to me. I now remember my name, and my immediate family.
"Ugh. No. One of my friends from school is coming over. Plus, even if I was going out on a date, I would have gone out in nicer clothes." She nodded and smiled, turning her attention to the TV, which was playing Oprah. I leaned back in to the leather sofa, closing my eyes. We heard a car pull into our driveway. "Oh, that's Alex!" I stood up, mom handed me my crutches, and I hopped over to the front door after I heard the bell.
I let him in, and give him a friendly hug. "Hey Lex, come in." He grinned at me and hugged back. "Whoa. Is that you car?" I stared wide eyed at the sliver sports car. It made my blue Mustang look like crap by comparison.
"Pit yeah Se!" I laughed "Really? Se?" He smirked down at me. "Yup. That's my nickname for you." I rolled my eyes just as my Mom came in from the living room. "You must be Alex. I'm Reese's mother." He held out his hand, shaking hands with her. "Yes that's me. Nice to finally meet you Mrs. West."
Mom smiled "Please call me Susan. Well I'll let you kids have fun and 'hang out' or whatever you guys say now a days." I sighed as she left to go to her room. We both headed out to the living room and started chatting about different things until my phone interrupted the conversation. "Oh, hold on one sec."I said, answering my phone. "Hello?"
"What the hell Reese! Do you know how worried I was?"
"I'm sorry Jen, I was just under a lot of pressure and I just didn't feeling like talking to anybody."
Jenna huffed "Fine. I accept that excuse. You going to school?"
"Yup. So what about Sarah's party Saturday? We still going?"
"Duhh! You know Sarah throws the best parties."
"Great, hopefully Nick's not there. I gotta go. I'm kinda busy right now."
"Alright, see you."
"Bye Jenna."
I hung up and smiled sheepishly at Alex. "Sorry, that was an important call." He waved it off "Naw, it's cool." All of a sudden, he started to flicker, like a hologram or something.
"What the fuck, man! You just- I mean- What the hell! You just flickered!" I scooted farther away, staring wide eyed at him. His own eyes widened "Um. No it didn't..?" I felt like bitch slapping the mess out of him for trying to lie to me. "Yes you did! I know what I saw!"
I jumped away when he tried to touch me. "No! I want the truth! Your not human, so what are you then?" Alex's expression became grim. He turned his head and ignored me. "Hello! Listen when I'm talking to you! Alex!" I roared slamming my fist down on his arm. Alex gave me a dark, heated glare. I shivered and whipped my head away.
I stood up, and wobbled, almost toppling over. I regained my balance, grabbed my crutches and hobbled out the door. Alex followed right behind me, like a lost puppy. "Okay. Alex, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have snapped at you. You don't have to tell me now, but you will tell me what you are." I gave him a stern look and leaned against my cars hood.
He sighed in relief "Fine, but I'm sure you will not like what I have to tell you." I raised an eyebrow "What do you mean? I'll still be your friend no matter what you are or who you hang out with." He sighed and frowned at me. Alex looked at the ground, deep in thought. I just stared at him. I watched his expressions, the way his eyebrow would twitch whenever he was thinking about something. His full lips curled into a coy smirk.
Alex's electric blue eyes stared into mine. I blushed and turned my head away. "Stop staring at me." I muttered, a fiery red blush on my cheeks. His smirk turned into a full blown grin "What? Why? I'm just admiring you beauty Reese." I bit my lip, my face felt like it was on fire. Damn teen hormones. Curse you, I say! Cuuuuuuurse yoooo- Wait. He's just trying to distract me. Damn you Alex, damn you and your smooth talking.
"Hey, quit it! Stop trying to distract me"I hopped off of the car hood and pointed dramatically at him. Alex walked forward, stopping when he had me pinned against the car hood and his chest. Great, the horrid blush was back. Super duper. Alex pressed his chest against mine and his arms wrapped around my thin waist. His perfect face was so close to mine. "I was serious. You really are beautiful. " He eyed my lips as his hands gripped the curve of my waist.
Then, he started to slowly lean in.
