Lang1922, what do you mean? what do you think i need to change? Is it too formal or not formal enough?

Chapter 19
After an enjoyable afternoon together, the two girls headed back to their room to get ready for the night. Alex had pretty much forgotten what she had overheard between Summer and Marissa.
The blonde had been the center of Marissa's attention all afternoon and she was in heaven. That's all Alex had asked for all these years back when they were together, and for at least a day she had gotten it.
No Seth. No Summer. No Mothers. No Ryan. No drama. Nothing but the two girls having a fun afternoon together away from any and everything that could distract them from each other.
But maybe Alex had thought about that away too soon. After all, the day was not over yet.
"Riss?"
"Hum?" Marissa was so happy Alex was finally talking to her once again; she almost forgot she had a life back in the States. And to top if off Alex had gone back to calling her 'Riss'.
"Can I use your tooth paste? I forgot to pack mine."
"Yeah, sure. It's in the pink bag, should be on the left side." Marissa answered, as she walked in the bathroom to fix her hair.
"Thanks" The blonde did find it a little strange to be ruffling through Marissa's things bit she figured they would be doing it more than once seeing as they would spend a mouth living together.
Opening the bag, Alex did find more than she was looking for, and she thought that maybe that was the reason told the blonde to look for the tooth past instead of doing it herself. A separated but completely see-through pocket of said bag was filled with the brunettes' underwear.
On that note, Alex was amused and had to wonder why Marissa would have any need of thongs, possible G-strings, and sexy strapless bras and push-up bras in a place so far from home. But what the blonde saw next wasn't as amusing.
A picture. A picture of Marissa sitting between Ryan's legs on the steps of a stair somewhere. And while he hugged her from behind, they both smiled at the camera. Behind the picture there was a message.
'Just something for you to remember me by.
Love you,
Ryan.'
"So, did you find it?" Marissa yelled form inside the bathroom.
"Wh-What?"
"The tooth paste. Did you find it?" The brunette repeated as she stuck her head out of the bathroom door.
"Hu- Yeah. Yeah. Sure I did." Alex answered, putting the picture back where she found it, making sure Marissa didn't see what she had been doing.
Picking up the tooth paste she had just spotted, Alex joined Marissa in the bathroom.
Hours later, Alex was ready to go out. Alex was spending the time between her getting ready and Marissa's to call Jodie and inform her that she had gotten in the hotel and was safe. Alex would have called sooner but she knew the Latino had a very bad temper when someone woke her without a very good reason, and a very good reason would be someone dying.
The blonde took her time telling Jodie everything that had happened that afternoon, mindful to keep her voice down as Marissa was not far away. The Latino was at a loss of what to say to Alex, but she had a suspicion of the reason behind Marissa's change of heart.
"Alex, I'm ready. Let's go." Marissa said
"Already?" Was the blonde's sarcastic response, and she got a light shove for it as they both smirked.
Jodie knew something was happening, and she intended on finding out, and she knew her best guess would be a pretty, short and overprotective Summer. Knocking twice, the Latino girl didn't wait for permission to enter.
Looking up, Summer mentioned for her to enter as she ended her business call. Again, without permission Jodie sprawled herself in one of the chairs she saw.
"Nice office." Jodie said when the other girl put the phone down.
"Thank you. But may I ask you, how did you find it?"
"Magic." She had no intention of giving anything away.
"Well, then, explain to me what are you doing here"
"You see, I was fine and bored all through this day, when I got a call from my best friend that is all the way in Stockholm telling me that she was confused by your best friend's behavior."
"And what does it have to do with me?"
"Well, I remember someone telling me not too long ago 'if they already don't do it there, maybe, if we, I don't know, think they both want to get back together, we could give them a hand'. So I ask this someone: are you and Marissa playing with Alex?"
"I think Marissa is as confused about her feelings as she appears to be and I have no intention of playing with Alex."
"But you are still planning something."
"All I can tell you is that I want is for both of them to be happy."
"Fair enough, but if something bad happens to Alex, you will be hearing from me."
"I can live with that. But now I have a feeling that something happened over there that I still don't know about."
"What was the last thing that you have been told?"
"That there are going to be sleeping in the same bed."
And then Jodie proceeded to tell the short brunette the latest update she had been given.
"So, this is the fourth and last club for the night."
"Thank God, between the jet lag and you dragging me around all afternoon, I'm beat." The blonde said.
"If I wasn't this exhausted, I might have actually taken offence to that." Marissa replied.
"My point exactly"
"Then let's just get it done and get back to the hotel to our warm and comfy bed."
"Yeah." But the only thing on Alex's mind was 'How I am gonna get out of sleeping with her in bed' and out of the crowd came the blonde's answer in the form of a hot black haired girl.
"Alex? Alex!" Marissa followed Alex's line of vision and didn't like one bit what she saw "Alex, come on. We are here to work not to pick up girls"
"Fine, I was just looking." But the idea didn't leave the blonde's mind "You know, you were in a good mood this afternoon."
"Yeah, as in past tense." Marissa said low enough so Alex didn't hear it, but continued louder "Come on, let's just look around for a bit and get this over with."
Marissa knew she was overreacting, but seeing Alex stare at some other girl, at anyone else, really didn't sit well with the brunette.
The brunette, true to her word, wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and not half an hour later she was already saying they had everything they needed.
"Okay, then. Let's get you a cab." Alex responded, as she made her way out.
"What you mean 'me a cab'? Aren't you coming?"
"No, I think I'll stick around for a while longer."
"You know what? I can get it myself; you go back to whatever you want."
"You sure?" Alex was a little taken aback by the brunette's strong response. 'What's gotten into her?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine" Marissa then walked out, turning her head back as she walked though the club's door, and what she saw made her want to get back inside and punch someone. More specifically, punch the black haired girl they had seen when the two girls first entered the club.
Well, i know this is not very long but i chose shorter and faster rather than longer, and well, slower. hope you agree with me.
Please reaview.
