Alex leaned back in her chair, taking in a deep breath. She stared at her computer, amazed by the amount she had written. Maybe this assignment wasn't so hard after all. She was suddenly startled as her phone vibrated. She picked it up, opening her new text message. Dean Just got out, coming to get u now.
Alex glanced at the clock, which read six o'clock. "Crap." She whispered under her breath. Where did the time go? She quickly replied, before pushing herself out of the chair. She plugged in her curling iron, before pulling off her sweat pants and T-shirt. She quickly pulled on a pair of skinny jeans and a black blouse. She slid on a pair of black heels, with a bow on side. She stood in front of the mirror, quickly curling her dark hair. Alex sprayed her hair with anti-frizz spray and ran her fingers through her hair. Her shiny curls rested on her shoulder. She grabbed her bag just as her phone vibrated again.
Alex's heels clicked on the wooded floor as she quickly made her way downstairs to the living room. She yelled to her mother that she was leaving. She pulled on her jacket and opened the front door, shivering at the chilly air as she stepped outside. It was mid April but at night it would go down to the forties, sometimes even the thirties. She made her way down the porch steps, sliding into Dean's car. "Hey." She greeted, leaning in and pressing her lips against his.
"Hi, you look beautiful." He smiled, beginning to pull out of the driveway. "As always."
"Thanks." She smiled, as he rested his free hand on hers. "How was work?"
"Good." Dean smiled. "Actually, we were doing a valentine's day craft and all the kids started asking if I had a valentine. So I told them I do, my girlfriend. So they all wanted to see a picture of you. I showed them one on my phone and one little girl thought you were very pretty. And I think one of the little boys has a crush on you."
Alex laughed. "Well it makes me feel better that two year olds think I'm pretty."
"Two to three year olds." Dean smirked. "They're so cute though."
"Where are we going?"
"Ciao Bella's. I figured we haven't been there in a while."
"Sounds good to me." Alex smiled as they pulled into the parking lot. She stepped out of the car, placing her hand in Dean's as they walked up the pavement. They stepped inside the warm restaurant, where a young woman led them to a table. They both sat down and listened to her explain the night's specials. When she left, they opened their menus and both began to read the Italian foods. This had been their favorite restaurant, before Alex's Anorexia and Dean used to always treat her here. "I think I'm going with the Fettuccini Alfredo tonight."
"That sounds good." Dean said, surprised she had ordered something that was probably loaded with calories. "I think I'm going with the Gnocchi Bolognese."
Dean watched as the server placed a basket of bread in the center of the table and filled the glasses with water. Alex waited a moment before jumping in on the bread. She slipped a piece in her mouth, before looking a Dean questioningly. "What? Why are you staring at me?"
"I'm just surprised you're eating the bread and ordering Fettuccini Alfredo."
"Well those two year olds boosted my confidence." She laughed sarcastically.
"I'm glad to have you back." Dean smiled. "And besides, I couldn't stare at your gorgeous face?"
Alex blushed. "No, you were giving me a weird look."
Dean smirked, taking a piece of bread to his small plate. "You're crazy. But I love you."
"Thanks, I love you too." She stuffed more bread into her mouth, before taking another sip of her water.
It wasn't long before their food was served. They both ate, while discussing their day and conversing their future lives. After they finished they both decided to share a chocolate, peanut butter cheesecake. But Mary was only able to take two bites before she complained she was full. She had eaten a decent amount of pasta, but not nearly as much as an average person. "I'm so full."
"Are you sure you're full?" Dean asked, feeling a bit worried.
"Yes, Dean. Believe me, I'm not going back there." Alex said. "I'm just still not used to eating normally. I get full quickly."
"Well it's good to hear that you're not going back there. But now I have to eat it all." Dean slipped another spoonful of the cheesecake and vanilla ice cream in his mouth.
Alex laughed, as she watched her boyfriend finish the cheesecake. "I love you."
"I love you too." They both leaned in over the table, pressing their lips together. When the pulled apart, Alex's smile stretched from ear to ear. Maybe life wasn't so bad after all…
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed! I'm sorry it is a little short. I'm actually sad to end this story, considering I've been writing it for a year. But then again, it would start to be dragged out. Well I will be publishing new stories soon and I hope you read them. Thanks again and please leave your last thoughts. Review!
P.S. I'd like to give a special thanks to my reviewers. You guys are awesome!
