Chapter 4: Valentine's Day Shocker
Happy Valentine's Day all!!! Hope you had a fabulous Valentine's Day, just like me. Of course I sported pink to school, like TONS of other people did aswell. Hope you like this chapter!
Alex awoke that Monday morning to find nothing special anywhere. No roses, no chocolates, no nothing. But it's Valentine's Day,
Alex thought. Isn't that the reason they have Valentine's Day in the first place, so girls get lots of pretty gifts. She was only
kidding. She knew Valentine's Day was about love. Well me and Justin have only been going out secretly for less then a day,
Alex thought to herself. She quickly arose from her bed, to find a note on the floor. The note read:
Dear Alex,
Sorry I didn't get you anything. I simply didn't have time. And plus I didn't want to make it obvious we're dating, since we're
keeping it a secret and all. But that does not mean I don't care about you. I think of you every minute of every day, and I bet you
do the same. I truly love you and will continue to love you forever. I'll see you tonight, we'll be all alone in the house! Yay! Someone
to play chess with!
Love,
Justin
Alex was glued to that note. She couldn't put it down. This is the perfect Valentine's Day gift, Alex thought. She wanted to just
hop back into bed and to go back to sleep but she had school today and she needed to get dressed. She figured she better wear
some red and pink, in honor of Valentine's Day. She grabbed her plain light pink shirt and figured her salmon pink t- shirt with black,
blue and yellow swirls would look perfect over it. She then put on her pink pants to top off the ensemble. "Now that's what you call
sporting pink. I look good." Alex said, while she was admiring her outfit choice in her floor length mirror.
"Don't forget hot."
Alex turned around from her mirror to see none other then Justin standing in her doorway. "Hey. Happy Valentine's Day," she said,
while waving to her brother/boyfriend.
Justin began to walk into her room. "Get my note?" Justin was about two feet from Alex then.
"Of course and I loved it! That's something I'm keeping forever." Alex said, while staring directly into Justin's eyes.
Justin was about to lean in to kiss her but Alex stopped him.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Someone could pop in any moment. We need to think of a place where we know no one will ever
go." Alex told Justin.
"Yeah. You're right. I'll take care of that. In the meantime, care to join me for some scrumptious breakfast created by our darling-"
"Justin don't say that."
"Sorry." Justin said. They walked out of her room and down the stairs walking hand in hand, making sure to release whenever they
saw a member of their family.
"Hey, you too. Happy Valentine's Day." Mr. Russo yelled to both of his kids, when they got downstairs.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Alex and Justin said to their father in unison.
"Wow, you two are certainly happy." Mrs. Russo said, from behind the kitchen counter.
"Um...well I guess it's because it's Valentine's Day. You know, the holiday of love." Justin said.
No one except Alex noticed, but when he said "love" he looked at Alex.
"Well, you know we'll be gone tonight, right?" Jerry Russo said to all of his kids.
"Yep. Mom already told us." Alex said to her dad.
Just then, Justin looked at his watch. "Alex it's time to go," he said, leading Alex towards the door.
"Why are you going early?" Max asked.
"Well, we have to turn in a report for school, so might as well go early." Justin said, while walking backwards towards the door.
Alex was impressed. Maybe he's getting the hang of this "keeping us a secret" thing after all, Alex thought.
After Justin and Alex walked out the door, Mrs. Russo said, "Is there something strange going on with them?"
"I wouldn't worry about it." Mr. Russo said to his wife. "These moments between them never last long."
Meanwhile, down at the Sub Station, Alex and Justin were walking out the door and outside, towards their school.
"Why'd we leave so early?" Alex asked.
"Well, I just thought of a place that we could be alone." Justin said.
"Where? Where?" Alex said, excited.
"Well, there's a supply closet at school where we could have some privacy and I think for when we're home we could go in the lair
and use it. No one goes in it except for Tuesdays and Thursdays, when we have lessons." Justin explained.
"Well, yeah. That'll work." Alex said.
They arrived in school about a minute later.
During the entire school day, Alex was excited for tonight. Just me and Justin alone, Alex thought.
During the end of the school day, she went to go to her locker to grab certain things for homework that night. She opened her locker
to find a big bouquet of orange flowers sitting in her locker. "Oh my gosh. Someone sent me flowers. I wonder who it could be." She
looked at the card and wasn't surprised at all to see the name Justin written on it.
"Like the flowers?"
Alex closed her locker to find Justin standing there, with his usual happy grin.
"Of course. They're so pretty." Alex said, smelling the flowers. "How'd you get them?"
"Well, there's a flower shop on the way to school. So during my lunch period I went and got them. Then put them in your locker."
Justin explained to Alex.
"How'd you get them in my locker?" Alex said.
"Duh! I made a locker combination song for you." Justin said.
"Oh, that's cute. You do like making songs and cheat sheets." Alex said. "Well, now I think's a
good time to go home."
They walked rather close to one another, since they couldn't hold hands in public, because of the whole secret thing.
When they arrived at their house, they found that the Sub Station was closed for the night.
"Yes, you and me don't have to work." Justin said, rather excited.
They quickly went upstairs, to check if anyone was home.
"Hello? Anyone home?" Alex yelled through the house.
No answer.
"Well, I guess that's a no." Alex said, obviously realizing noone was at the house, besides herself and Justin. She looked at Justin and
spoke, "Anything exciting planned for tonight?"
"You'll see." Justin said, with a sneaky grin.
"Well wanna watch a movie?" Alex suggested.
"Way ahead of you." Justin said. He quickly pulled out a DVD from his backpack. The title had read "Beauty and the Beast". "I
know you wanted to go and see the modern tale of it, 'Bella and the Beast.' But you put up with the 'Math Equation' with me. So I
figured, why not watch the original."
"Ok, well what else are we doing besides the movie?" Alex asked.
"Well, what would be perfect with a movie?" Justin asked Alex.
"Dinner?" Alex answered.
"Yep. You, my lady, are getting the whole nine yards. Filet mignon, baked potatoes, everything. And for dessert, so much ice cream
you're gonna puke." Justin said, defiantly excited for this date.
Alex couldn't believe this was real. Alex couldn't believe Justin could do something so sweet, so right then and there she hugged
Justin which followed a sweet kiss.
"What was that for?" Justin asked.
"Just for you being you." Alex responded.
"Well, I should be me more often." Justin said. "Well, I'll get dinner ready, then we'll get the movie started."
After Justin got the dinner ready, they decided it was best if they eat first then watch the movie.
"How on earth did you learn how to cook?" Alex asked, while enjoying her amazing meal.
"Well, while some people were busy shopping and getting into trouble I stayed home with mom and learned how to cook." Justin
explained.
"That would explain all those Saturday nights you stayed home." Alex pointed out.
This remark followed a not to happy expression on Justin's face.
"Sorry, Alex said."
After they were finished eating they began watching the movie.
"Oh, this is my favorite song." Alex said, while cuddling up to Justin and watching the movie.
The song was "Something There."
"Woah, that kinda reminds me of us." Alex stated.
"Yeah it does."
They were inches away from kissing when...Max opened the door.
"Max!" Justin and Alex said in unison, after they sprang up from the couch.
Max just had on a shocked expression on his face.
So, did u love it? Let me know by REVIEWING! Oh and just so you know, for Alex's outfit I took it from the one she wore in "Movies" (my faveee WOWP episode! so funny&so Jalexy)...the first scene, when the Russos are singing the "Icevark" song. Also I'm kinda obsessed with Beauty & the Beast (along with Jalex)...so I threw that in there. I won't update as much...just because I don't have that many ideas...only here & there. If you have ideas PLEASE let me know!
