Laters, baby

Chapter 2

APOV

"Baby don't do this," I pleaded with Leila. She stared at me, her hands on her slender hips, her fiery red hair hanging in her eyes. Her shocking green eyes stared into my brown ones; they were teasing, full of mischief and mystery. She giggled and I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes. Her giggle was childish, like a dumb cheerleader who had just discovered she lived in the United States all her life.

She sauntered over, her hands still on her bare hips. She smiled and leaned past me, picking up her dress. I frowned, leaning back against the pillows as I watched her pull on her dress.

"I have class Alec," she said, pulling her hair into a high ponytail to avoid the 'I just got fucked' look. I pouted.

"But baby, you can't leave me hanging like this," I gestured to my gloriously naked body. She looked at me, her eyes gliding over every perfectly sculptured part of me. When she met me last year she told me, and I quote "It's like you are photo shopped," I replied with a cheesy grin and said; "That's the idea baby" and BAM! Straight up hot sex from there on. Leila Marshall was a prize, cheeky grin, smart mouth, hot body and brains too, apart from that hideous giggle, she might just as well be photo shopped. She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Laters, baby," she said and walked out of my apartment. I groaned, grudgingly getting dressed in black slacks and a Columbia t-shirt. I texted Jane, asking her if she wanted to meet for coffee at the Starbucks around the corner. The reply was instant, she told me to grab Felix from next door and meet her in ten. I walked into the lounge; it was basic, like all of the apartments in Hartley. Cream floors, nice kitchen. We replaced the white couches with leather ones, we were men after all. Even though Hartley was a co-ed dorm, I only had guy roommates. Jane was lucky; she had two guys and four girls in her apartment, what I wouldn't give to have some girl roommates. I could rotate rooms every night.

"Yo Felix, let's go meet Jane at Starbucks," I said, walking into his room next door. He was lying on his bed, a book on his head. He peeked out from under it and groaned.

"Dude, I was sleeping, the drive from Arizona was exhausting," he said. I walked over, sitting on his stomach, making him gasp for air.

"Some coffee and donuts will do you good bro," I said, hopping up and down.

"I thought Leila was here," he groaned, pushing me off. I landed with a thud on the floor, glaring at him as he laughed.

"She had to get to class."

Felix laughed even harder, holding his stomach and rolling over. "Bro, that chick is so fucking everyone on campus." I raised my eyebrows, tackling him off the bed. I got him in a headlock, begging for mercy on the floor.

"So am I brother, I don't really care," I said.

"Get off me you wanker," he said, tossing me off him. He walked to his closet, pulling on a t-shirt and shoes. "Let's go, I cannot deal with a mad Jane too."

A few minutes later we walked into Starbucks. Jane was already sitting at one of the tables; her blonde hair was pulled up in a bun, a few loose tendrils hanging in her face. She looked tired and bored, in serious need of a coffee. I walked over to the counter as Felix sat down next to her, kissing her softly on the lips. She and Felix started a hushed conversation as I ordered our coffee at the counter, as well as three sandwiches. Felix and Jane kept shooting me worried glances and it made me uneasy. When those two were up to something it never ended well. I grabbed our coffee and sandwiches and headed for the table, Jane and Felix immediately shut up when I sat down.

"Jane," I nodded. She glared at me and grabbed her coffee. "Something wrong cheerful sister of mine?" I asked sweetly and she raised her eyebrows.

"Nothing, my new roommate is going to drive me crazy." I sat up straight, a slow smile spreading across my face. Oh, a new roommate? More like a new playmate.

"Really, does she have a name?" I grinned and Jane visibly paled. She looked at Felix and he just shrugged, devouring his sandwich in one bite.

"No, you will stay away from her; she is a lying, scheming, bitch." Jane hissed and I was taken aback by her venomous tone. I knew my sister was evil, but I have never seen her like this. Her new roommate must be a real piece of work. I contemplated this; Jane has only reacted this strongly once in her lifetime and that was two years ago, back in Forks when I left…Renesmee. I swallowed.

Renesmee

I remember her perfectly, slender, tall, body. Bright chocolate coloured eyes, red cheeks, flaming copper coloured hair. I could paint a million pictures, each one perfect. She was perfect and to be honest, I missed her. But then I think about what I have done to her, to her family, to my family and then I am reminded that I leaving her was for the best. She would be at Dartmouth, studying to become a doctor, following her dreams without me ruining them. I almost cost her, her life two years ago. I will not do that to anyone again.

"You know I can't do that, I have a reputation to uphold," I smirked and she pretended to gag.

"Yes, because of your impossible mission to fuck the entire female student body of this university!" She yelled and a few people turned around to stare at us. I raised my eyebrows and leaned back in my chair.

"Does that bother you?" I asked calmly.

"You have a girlfriend," she hissed.

"She is not my girlfriend, she is a girl I occasionally sleep with," I shrugged. Alright, so technically she was my girlfriend, but it was a very…open relationship. Frankly I didn't care is she slept with someone else, I do it.

Jane closed her eyes, resting her head on the table. Felix just groaned and rolled his eyes at me. "Look, Alec, you know I love you, you are my only annoying twin brother, but one day this all is going to come back and bite you in the ass."

"It already has Jane," I said softly, referring to Renesmee. She was my one true love, and I let her go, just like that. Maybe if things were different…but they are not and I have to live with it.

"Alec, just be careful."

I dunno how I feel about this chapter, and the whole APOV thing. Let me know what you think.
