Thank you all for your reviews I'm glad you all are enjoying this. It's always great to hear what you guys think. Just a reminder any italics in the beginning of a chapter are important later on...and on with the show
It's been three days and still no communication from her. It seems she gets a visit from a family member or a close friend everyday and she doesn't seem very respondent towards them either. I'm going to keep trying. I refuse to give up on her like her parents did.
"Let me drive you home."
"Thanks Sylvie but I'll just wait for the bus."
"What the hell is the point on waiting for a bus when I can just give you a ride home?!"
Sylvie was becoming very obsessive lately. Calling every hour, always talking about the future she wants to have with Alex. They were in high school for crying out loud. Alex hadn't even thought about the person she was going to be with in the future. There was also the fact that Sylvie always wanted to be around her all the time and Alex felt like she was being suffocated. "Look Sylvie I just feel like riding the bus. It won't kill you to be away from me for a while."
Sylvie folded her arms across her chest, anger evident in her stance. "What is that supposed to mean?!" Not wanting to make a big scene Alex quickly remedies the situation.
"It means…" Alex walks over to Sylvie and places each hand on Sylvie's arms. "The longer apart we are from each other…" She leans in and kisses her neck. "…the better the sex will be later" Sylvie unfolded her arms in defeat and let out a small moan.
"Alex you're such a tease. Fine I will see you later tonight" She leaned in and gave Alex a kiss on the lips before getting in her car and driving away. "Finally." Alex sighs and pulls out her phone and dials a number. After the third ring someone finally picks up.
"Hey Vause what's up?"
"Hey Nichols! You mind if I come by for the night? I don't feel like going home."
"Yeah sure. I could use the company. You need me to come get you?"
"If you don't mind. I'm currently at the mall"
"Yeah sure be there in a few." Alex hangs up the phone and makes her way to a bench that's underneath the awning of the mall. She watches families walk in and out of the mall. Smiles on their children's faces, excited about the upcoming holiday. Alex mind starts to drift back to when she had her first Halloween with her mother.
It was one of the nights her mom was actually able to get away from work. Alex was getting changed into her little red riding hood outfit when she heard the light taping on her window. She quickly ran over to the window only to have her fears realized, it was raining. She thought the night was ruined. Upset she quickly threw off the hooded cape of her costume and sat down on the bed staring out the window. "Alex?" Her mom came into her room quickly noticing Alex was upset. "What's wrong? Why aren't you ready to go?" Alex pointed out the window.
"We can't go. The nights ruined thanks to the rain." Diane, Alex mother, walks over to the bed and picks up the hooded cape before tying it back on around Alex neck.
"The night is only ruined if you let it be." Alex looked up at her mother, eyebrow raised.
"You still want to go trick or treating out in the rain?"
"You aren't sugar dear you won't fucking melt. I'm not going to let a little rain mess up my night with my baby. Now get your shoes on and let's go!" Alex smiled and jumped off her bed, quickly putting on her shoes and running out the door, her mother following behind her. They walked around the neighborhood all night. Fully drenched but they didn't care, they were having fun just being together.
Preoccupied with her thoughts, at a strangers touch on her right shoulder, she jumped causing the women to laugh. A short woman with wild dirty blonde hair stood before her.
"Jesus Nicky you scared me."
"Yeah I get that a lot." She had a huge smile on her face. "So why don't you want to go home? You didn't have some huge fight with your mom did you? Because if so I'm going to miss going over there." Nicky was almost always at Alex's house or Lorna's. Her mom was always over at Paolo's house playing 'mom' as Nicky would put it, which left her in a huge house by herself. No one to really talk to except for the care taker and as great as the care taker was, Nicky preferred her friends.
"No Nicky. It's just Sylvie." Alex moves her glasses to the top of her head. "All she wants to do is hang out and be near me."
"Yes generally that is what people want when they date."
"Which I understand but there is a difference between wanting to hang out and just being plain obsessive. I only have a couple hours to myself before she comes over tonight." Nicky looks at Alex alarmed. "Don't worry she doesn't know where you live."
"So you're going to ditch her? Why not just break up with her Vause?" Alex adjusted the glasses back down to the bridge of her nose.
"The sex is still good." Nicky and Alex both laughed.
"Well good to see you got your priorities straight!" Nicky lightly slaps Alex on the leg. "Alright kid let's go." They both get up and head towards Nickys car. "What do you have in the bag anyways?"
"It's a costume for tomorrow night." Alex shrugs. Nicky grabs the bag from Alex hands and opens it up, pulling out the costume inside.
"Damn I was hoping for slutty nurse. What the fuck is it?"
Alex chuckled and grabbed the costume and bag back. "Sweet Pea. It's from the movie Sucker Punch. I decided to go with something cool but sexy."
"Interesting choice."
"What are you going as pray tell."
"Lorna wants to go as Sarah Brown from Guys and Dolls so I'm going as Sky Masterson." She shrugs.
"Just make sure you don't go rocking the boat" Alex snickered. Nicky playfully pushed her. They finally reached the car and got in. Nicky started the car and quickly drove away, heading towards her house.
The night seemed to fly by as Alex and Nicky talked about a lot of random things. During the entire night Alex phone would go off causing her just to swipe the ignore button. Not really in the mood to talk to Sylvie and also not wanting to have a fight with her. She would deal with it tomorrow before they went to the party. The phone rang again, this time Nicky grabbed it before Alex could swipe her finger across it.
"Hello! Alex Vause phone her probation officer speaking." Alex just shook her head trying to hide the smile on her face.
"Who the fuck is this? Where the fuck is Alex?!"
"Ma'am please don't swear at me. Alex can't come to the phone right now she's…deep in prayer." Alex mouthed over to her 'What the fuck?' Nicky covered her mouth to muffle the laugh.
"I don't know who the fuck this is but Alex better get on the fucking phone…" *click* Nicky hung up. Alex mouth hung open as she stared at Nicky in disbelief.
"What? I asked her not to swear at me. It's very fucking rude ya know" The phone rang again this time Alex grabbed it and answered the phone.
"Sylvie. I'm sorry I haven't answered your calls my phone has been on silent. I've been hanging out with Nicky and just sort of lost track of time." She lied.
"So what you really mean is that you would rather hang out with her than me tonight."
"Sylvie I told you I just lost track of time. Come on don't be mad. You can't tell me you haven't messed up once in your life"
There was a pause on the other end. "You could have called and told me where you were and the change of plans."
Alex just rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry" She then says seductively into the phone. "I'll make it up to you tomorrow night."
"You better." With that Sylvie hung up the phone. Alex looked at her phone shocked.
"She hung up on me!"
"Ah forget her." Nicky waves her hand forward. "I think I've had too much excitement for one night. I'm going to bed."
"You've had too much excitement?"
"Yeah other people's problems tire me out." Nicky yawns and makes her way to her bed quickly getting under the covers. Alex just shakes her head and makes her way to the air mattress Nicky got out for her. Alex places her glasses on the night stand next to her and gets under the covers. They both laid there in silence. The only thing they could hear were each other breathing.
"You sure the sex is worth all that?" Alex didn't answer. She knew deep down she wasn't really in love with Sylvie but there was sex and it was great. She had been dealing with Sylvies obsession for at least a month now. She thought she could deal with it but to now have someone ask her if the sex was really worth all this hassle, she wasn't sure. She fell asleep her thoughts a mess.
