CHAPTER SIX
Alexandria's POV
It had been a week and I still hadn't seen Gideon. I was anxious to talk to him about what happened in the study. I sighed and pushed my books away. Glancing out the window I decided a walk would clear my head so I could get work done.
Alicia's POV
I drummed my fingernails on the desk. The guy Alex had been talking to at the party had looked very familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who he was. Clicking on the Google tab, I brought up the main page and typed in 'Gideon Lenshaw'.
Immediately several hits popped up. Scrolling down, I noticed that each and every one of them was basically saying the same thing.Gideon Lenshaw is the son of Erik Lenshaw…known widely as Magneto. I felt a large lump of dread form in my stomach. Magneto's son! This couldn't be good.
Gideon's POV
I stood below a massive tree-Its outstretched branches shielding me from view of oblivious passers-by. This is beyond stupid, I thought to myself. I was on the Campus of Professor Xavier's school…hoping to see Alex. I knew that many of the students…and all of the teachers would know me by sight so I had to be careful and going inside the building to find her was out of the question. I was about to turn to make my way out of here when I saw her walking along a path.
Hoping she could hear me I called out.
She didn't turn.
More drastic measures where clearly needed.
Alexandria's POV
I strolled along one of the more secluded pathways. Pushing my hair from my eyes, I felt my phone vibrate. As I pulled it out, a pebble hit me in the arm. "OW!"
I looked to see where it came from. I picked it up and started for a tree, where a figure was motioning me closer.
As I drew nearer, I saw it was Gideon. Walking up to him I said "Did you throw this at me?"
"Yes. I had to get your attention." He explained.
I threw the rock at his shoulder.
"Ow! What was that for?"
"That was payback. Don't throw shit at me."
"Ok. I'm here to tell you something." He said
"Ok….what?" I asked intrigued.
"It's not good-and you'll probably hate me, but I wanted to let you know myself and to tell you that I-"
"Get to the point, Gideon"
"My name is Lenshaw."
"Yeah-I know-"
"You don't understand!"
Gideon's POV
God-Why couldn't she get it? Did I have to spell it out for her?
"Gideon! What's the big deal with your name?" Alex looked confused and I could tell she was getting upset at that.
I opened my mouth to tell her-but before I could even mutter a single syllable, the girlfriend she'd had with her at the party came charging up and seized Alex's arm.
Then she glared at me. "You need to leave. And don't ever come back! And stay the hell away from Alex!"
Alexandria's POV
Alicia had a death grip on my arm and she was glaring at Gideon like he was public enemy number one. "Alicia...what's going on? What are you doing?" I asked her after she shouted at Gideon.
"He didn't tell you, did he? Gideon is Magneto's son!" she spat
I laughed. "Gideon's not…" I stopped when I noticed that he wasn't denying it. I pulled my arm from Alicia's grip and stepped towards him. "A-Are you?"
He looked at me and nodded. "That's—"
"Stop." I was lightheaded and felt like I'd just been hit with a brick. I couldn't believe this. I felt the world tip underneath me and I struggled to hold on to consciousness.
"Alex-I never-"
"Oh my god." I said softly. "You-You lied to me!"
"I didn't! You never asked-"
"And this was something you thought wasn't important? This is something you should have mentioned right away!"
Gideon just looked at me. "I don't have an excuse-"
"Damn right you don't!" The shock was gone- and in its place was anger and rage.
Alicia murmured that she was going to go and give us some time.
"This is..."I sputtered.
"Look-I know not telling you was a mistake. I thought several times that I should have tell you but I didn't"
"Why the hell not!"
"Because I didn't want you to hate me!" He shouted.
That shut me up.
"I started to get to know you and you were so different than I thought you would be and a lot prettier than I'd thought and I just kept silent. But I came here today to tell you! That's what I was trying to do!"
Gideon had stepped closer during his explanation and we stood toe-to-toe.
"You kissed me. You shouldn't have. You knew who I was."
"I knew who you were. And I admit I took advantage to the situation—"
"Damn right you did!"
Gideon grabbed my wrists and reeled me in closer. "I wish things were different. But they aren't. I am who I am and you are who you are. But I'm never going to stop thinking about you, Alex. You make me want to question my upbringing. And I'm never going to regret saving your life three weeks ago." He'd said all this quietly. He let go of my wrists and was gone.
