Hi guys! Here's the next chapter for you.

One day later, Alex was walking down the street when she heard someone call out.

"Hey! Alex!"

Alex turned towards the voice. She smiled and crossed the street when she saw who it was.

"Hey, Sin," she said, falling into step with her friend. "How's it going?"

"Alright," Sin responded. "Haven't seen you in awhile, though."

"Yeah, sorry about that," Alex apologized. "I've just been so busy with, you know."

"I figured that was it," Sin said. "How's it been going?"

"Good," Alex answered. "Great, really. A lot of things are great right now, actually. Well, mostly great. It's complicated."

"What are you talking about?" Sin asked curiously.

"Roy," Alex said.

"What about Roy?" Sin inquired with a grin. "You two finally get together?"

"Well, he sort of kissed me two days ago," Alex explained. "And I haven't exactly seen him since."

"About time," Sin laughed. "But why haven't you talked to him?"

"He hasn't called and we haven't run into each other."

"Well why don't you call him? You made it sound like he made the first move, maybe he's waiting for you to make the next one."

"What if he thinks I'm avoiding him? You're right. I should call. But what if he's avoiding me?"

"You said he kissed you. Why would he avoid you after that. And since when are you so insecure?"

"I'm not insecure, really. I'm just... I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'm going to lose my best friend over something so stupid and insignificant as a kiss."

"But the longer you wait, the worse it gets, right? And was it really stupid and insignificant?"

"It was if he decides it was. I mean, if he decides it meant nothing then it meant nothing. And I refuse to lose Roy over nothing."

"There! "Refuse." That's the Alex I know."

Alex smiled. Sin was right. She was tough, she could fight to keep Roy, no matter what their relationship because she wouldn't let anything come between them.

"I'm going to call him," Alex declared. "Actually, I'm going to text him and have him meet me somewhere so we can figure this out in person."

"Good call," Sin said. "I gotta go. I'll catch up with you later."

"Okay," Alex responded. "See you later."

They took off in different directions. Alex pulled out her phone and typed out a text to Roy.

We need to talk. In person. We can meet wherever you want but we have to meet soon.

It wasn't long before her phone beeped and she got a text back.

Ok. The park on ninth? I can go there now.

She quickly responded.

Ok. I'll be there ASAP.

Alex turned and headed for the park. Roy's text hadn't given away much. She wondered what was going through his head as she walked to their meeting spot.

Eventually, Alex arrived at the park. She spotted Roy standing near a tree. He shifted nervously on his feet as she approached him.

"Hey," Alex said when she was standing in front of Roy. "So, about the other day–"

"If I messed things up, I'm sorry," Roy interrupted. "I just– well, I didn't–"

"Roy," Alex stopped him, "this conversation is not going to happen if you try to beat around the bush and avoid saying what you feel." She took a deep breath before continuing. "So, you kissed me. I kissed you back. So I guess the real question here is, would you do it again?"

"Yes," Roy answered. "I'd definitely do it again. That is, if you would."

Alex smiled. "I would."

Relief flooded Roy's face. Alex laughed and took a step closer to him.

"So," she said, "you said you'd do it again..."

"Yeah." Roy pulled Alex in and kissed her gently. They pulled away a moment later, both smiling.

"We should probably go on an actual date sometime," Alex laughed.

Roy joined in. "Yeah, probably. Got time now?"

"Yup," Alex said. "Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere. As long as it's with you."

Alex blushed. "Seriously, Roy, where do you want to go?"

"I don't know. Big Belly Burger?"

"Very romantic."

"Well you asked!"

"Actually, I could go for some Big Belly Burger."

They started walking down the street. When Roy put his arm around Alex a moment later, she decided that she hadn't been this happy since the Undertaking. Finally, it felt like everything was falling into place. As well as it could, anyway.
