Alex POV;
I walked downstairs, trying to follow Jack, but he clearly had a long head-start so I was so far behind him. Sitting at the bottom step was Lupe, her hair was pulled back into a messy bun and she was in a long man's shirt that I didn't look too closely at because I knew it was Andy's.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked, trying to project as much cheerfulness into my voice.
Lupe lifted her head from her hands and looked me in the eyes, "The celling?"
"Hopefully" I chuckled awkwardly, running my hands through my hair and then regretting it when my hand came out the other side with the pink hair dye staining my hands.
"You should probably wash your hands, Alex" Lupe sighed, standing up as she reached my hand, touching the palm where the dye was stained, "I did tell you that you can't just leave the dye in until it dried, you actually need to wash it out"
I swallowed hard as I could feel the heat coming from her hands on mine, "Um, yeah. I guess I shouldn't have followed Jack's advice…"
She half-smiled, looking absently at my hand, "Since when do we listen to Jack? I thought that was made clear when we wouldn't let him drive"
I laughed, and then marvelled as she joined in, looking up into my eyes. Without realising what I was doing, my free hand lifted and brushed the hair that was falling out of her bun and into her eyes.
"I'm sorry" I stuttered as she pulled back, her back hitting the wall.
She shook her head furiously. "No Alex, we can't"
Lupe POV;
"No Alex, we can't" I said firmly, pulling back until my back hit the wall.
Hurt flashed across his eyes, and I sighed, leaning my head on his shoulder, "I miss us"
"I miss you." He whispered into my hair, "More than you could ever think of, I miss you, us, whatever it was"
I lifted my head, looking into his molten brown eyes. "It was this" I murmured, pressing my lips against his.
Alex took the initiative and pushed me back against the wall, kissing me breathless and his hand rested on my hip. I hooked my arms around his head, pulling him closer to me.
When we did finally break apart, he rested his head in the gap under my chin. "I did miss that" he whispered against my neck.
Then it all hit me, I'm a cheat.
"Why did I just do that?" I snapped, pushing him off me, and backing a few feet up the stairs.
"Do what?" He looked wounded at my sudden change in character.
"You know what!" I burst, "I'm a cheating whore! How can anyone like me? Fuck" I collapsed onto my knees.
"It's not your fault" He sighed, sitting on the step below mine, "It was me, I kissed you back, I mean, I should've thought about it an-"
I cut him off with a kiss.
"I think I should babble a bit more often if that's your retaliation" Alex stage-whispered,
"How can something so wrong feel so right at the same time?" I asked, my voice reminding me of a pleading child.
"Because it's not as wrong as you would think"
A/N;
Sorry. This was meant to be up Friday. But I went out both days (I'm actually social now. I know, scary) so to make up for it, I'm posting two other chapters to two different fics. Enjoy.
