AN: Thanks to OCmalexfan, ILUVU4870, Unknown lazy ass, bigblusky, Dar19, FiresOfDeath, krisana22, Seventh Theory, LillianGish and Jycel for the reviews.
Unknown lazy ass, first i gotta say that i've read stories shorter than your review. And i thank you very much for it, it helps a lot to be told what is good and what is not and you gave lots of information. I had already been told that the 1st chapter was way too dramatic, i personaly blame my hormones ;). anyway, i've been thinking of rewriting it, i mean the whole story, 'cause i've read it and i realize how much i wanna change some things, maybe i'll get aaround to it. About Jodie, i must say that she is one of my favorite characters, and maybe that's why she is so friendly, i find her funny and different from the rest, still i'm not sure what will become of her. About Alex and Marissa, well let me just say that its gonna be a bumpy ride, and that Marissa will get what's coming to her before all is happy in lala land. And Ryan, i am testing a teory using both my stories that it is easier to dump, cheat on or do anything of the sort when the guy is a jerk, so in this story he'll be a nice guy, and we will see how Marissa deals with it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and i hope you will continue to do so. And feel free to leave reviews like that, as i already said, they are pretty helpfull and i must say i like reading what you thought or felt while reading the story. Hopefully you will writte your story, i will be sure to read it once you do. Good luck with it.
FiresOfDeath, i will see what i can do... and dont worry, alex will... next chapter...
Seventh Theory, i tried to enhance the description part this chapter, dont know if it is any good, cause i just dont know how to do it. My school teacher always told me that, but i never like it 'cause it used to bore me when i read something, i used to think it got in the way of the actual story. Should have listened to her, right? About the size, not sure what i can do, mostly i write until i reach a part where i think 'hei, this is a good ending' then i end it. But the chapters will probably be longer because of the description.
LillianGish, Alex cant be a brunette, simply because that would be hard to tell the two girls appart while i write the story. I use a lot of 'the blonde' and 'the brunette', and if there was 2 brunettes, i would have some problems, but maybe Alex can die it this color at the end. About the other idea, cant exactly do the entire thing, but maybe part of it...
Special thanks to Dar19, for correcting the lines i put in Swedish. Is there some place you still havent been on?
Alex, as soon as she was ready, came downstairs to find Marissa and some other guests having breakfast at a huge, not to mention glamorous room.
Chandeliers fell from the ceiling bathing the room in a soft light. People sat at round, large, flower decorated tables. In the middle of the room, there was a large rectangle table where the food from all over the world was served. Next to it, it was possible to see two men dressed in uniforms frying bacons, eggs, and who knows what else.
On the far corner of the room, there was a piano being played by a well dressed woman, generating a soft atmosphere in the room.
"What the hell was that?" The blonde had to concentrate not to yell in front of others hotel's guests, after all Marissa's table was close to another 4, but still her voice didn't hide her anger.
"What?" Marissa pretended she didn't know what Alex was talking about.
"This" The blonde said pointing to her wet hair.
"Your hair." The brunette said that as it was obvious "Did you change it? 'Cause to me it's the same pink hair, only wetter."
"Don't play games with me, I don't like it. And I and sure didn't like what you did this morning"
"You needed to wake up and take a shower, which you did, so my plan worked. Besides it was pretty funny." Marissa had had time to calm down as the blonde got herself ready.
"I didn't think so"
"That's 'cause you didn't see your own face. It was hilarious." The brunette said, laughing.
Seeing Marissa laugh always put Alex on a good mood, and soon she joined the laughter, first slowly and then escalating louder and louder, at the same time thinking how good it was to have this stolen moment with the other girl.
"Eat this." Marissa suddenly said, as the blonde took a sit in front of her.
"What is it?" Alex eyed the uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts with doubt.
"Does it really matter?"
"Not really"
"Good, then, open wide"
"What?!"
"Your mouth, open it. What were you thinking?" The brunette said with a knowing smile.
"Nothing"
"Good, now open your mouth"
"Fine." Alex said as she did as she was told, and took the food that was on Marissa's spoon.
"You like it?"
"Yeah, I think so. What is it?"
"Muesli. I thought you didn't do breakfast"
"I didn't. Kinda grew up, now I've gotta be awake some mornings to get some things done. Realized that no eating before it can be problematic."
"I see. Well, then, you want some more?" The blonde only nodded, and Marissa proceeded to feed Alex all the different foods she came across.
"Who is it?"
"What?"
"Alex, that's the fourth time someone calls you today and you don't answer. And I think that it was all the same person. So, who is it?"
"Curious much?" That's the fourth time you see it, it is actually the seventh time she called. The blonde thought.
"Yeap"
"It's no one you know." Alex answered, thinking. And hopefully will never meet.
"Whatever you say." Alex could see that Marissa was disappointed that the blonde hadn't informed her who the caller was, but that was a conversation Alex really had no intention of having with the brunette.
After an uneventful day just walking around and doing some shopping, a demand made by Marissa, the two girls went back to the hotel to get ready to go out later that night. That was almost two hours ago, and Alex was waiting. Knowing that Marissa wouldn't be ready anytime soon, the blonde took a second to glance around the room.
It could easily be confused to an actual apartment, as it had 5 different rooms. The entrance door led to the living room that had a plasma TV hanging off of a wall and a couch directed to it, besides the couch there were two comfortable armchairs. A short square table stood in the center of the room, with a few magazines above it. It had another three doors, one that led to the bathroom, one to the balcony, and one to the bedroom.
The bathroom was classic: a bathtub, a shower, a toilet, and a sink. The balcony had a beautiful view, allowing a person to watch the life of a tiny someone that was walking around near it. It was also connected to the bedroom, being possible to use the balcony as an indirect passage from the living room to the bedroom.
The bedroom included a king sized bed that was attached to the middle of the wall, one wardrobe right in front of it attached to the other wall, a nightstand with a lamp in each side of the bed, a make-up desk in a corner, and a television above the wardrobe, hanging on the wall. There also a bathroom connected to the bedroom, much like the other one, only this one had a bigger bathtub, one big enough to fit at least 2 people.
"Come on, Alex. Stop staring at nothing. We have a few clubs to see tonight"
Alex didn't move an inch, she was blown away by the other girl's appearance. Marissa had a beautiful silver dress that fell freely into her thigh, after it clung to her waist. In the front, it made a V line, showing a preview of what could be found inside. She also wore a beautiful pair of matching sandals.
Alex had a pair of low rise jeans, black boots and a red halter top. Both girls let their hair fall freely, but Marissa's had beautiful waves while Alex's was stunningly straight.
Seeing that Alex hadn't moved an inch, Marissa pulled her so they could get moving.
It was the second club of the night when Marissa felt Alex tense beside her.
"Something wrong?" The brunette asked
"Just might be."
Inside, it was pretty dark and filled with smoke, making it hard to see much. There was a band playing on the far corner of the room, and different colors appeared out of nowhere in sync with the music. Small, yet tall tables were spread around the room, making it so you could just lean against them to have a drink. The bar was on the center, and on the second floor couches could be found to sit and relax.
Marissa followed Alex's line of view as the blonde answered and with some difficulty found a bleached blonde girl with boobs way too big for her body coming their way.
"Friend of yours?"
"Something like that. Met her last night."
"I don't remember meeting her."
"That's 'cause you had already gone back to the hotel"
"Oh"
"Alex!" The bleached blonde girl called. "I missed you"
"Oh, H-Hi, A-A…"
"Astrid. Forgotten already?" The girl answered for Alex, with a heavy accent. "I thought we had a date tonight. I waited"
"I don't believe I agreed on that" Alex answered.
"I believe you did. This morning." The new girl disagreed
"I don't believe she did" Marissa wasn't completely sure of what was happening, but she had some idea and decided to intervene anyway.
"And what makes you think that I care to what you believe?" Astrid challenged.
"The fact that you are telling my girlfriend that she had a date with you. I think that makes my opinion count." Alex was beyond stunned, but thankfully the new girl was too concentrated on what the brunette said to notice Alex's reaction.
"She didn't seem to be your girlfriend last night, or this morning for that matter."
"I don't believe you. And I really don't like what you are implying."
"Doesn't change the fact of what happened. Besides I'm not implying anything, I'm telling you that I took your girlfriend home last night and we had sex all through this morning"
"Shut up! I don't care what you say! She didn't! I know she didn't!" As much as it hurt Marissa to hear Astrid say that, and knowing it was probably true, the brunette still had to keep up the façade. She had started it and she was going to see it through the end. "Tell her, Alex! Tell me! Tell me that she is lying" Marissa's eyes were begging, begging Alex to both keep up her pretense and to deny what she knew to be true.
"Of course she is lying." To continue, she looked straight into the brunette's eyes "To me, there is no one but you. Marissa, you are my everything." Alex said that with so much conviction that Astrid didn't dare to contradict it, but Marissa didn't know how much truth that statement contained.
"Fine, whatever you say. I'll leave you to her for now, blondie. You two sure as hell need to work out some issues. But remember, when you are cold at night and in need of someone to warm you up, you know where to find me." After she said that, Astrid left.
"Marissa…" Alex hadn't moved ever since she had poured her heart out to the brunette. Instead Marissa seemed to be getting closer.
"Yeah…"
"I-"The blonde never got to finish that sentence, because, out of nowhere, the brunette put her hands on Alex's shirt, grabbing it and then pulled their bodies together, crashing her lips into the blonde's.
Out of reflex, the blonde pulled back, confused, and stared into the other girl's eyes. Not knowing exactly what came over her, Marissa said the first thing that came into her mind.
"She is watching" And then the brunette crashed their lips back together.
This time Alex didn't push back. This time she let her lip be sucked by Marissa and then sucked the other girls, slowly licking it. Marissa met the blonde's tongue half away with her own, letting them caress each other. Neither knew how long they stayed there, making out, under the pretense that Astrid was watching, but, then again, neither cared.
That night, Marissa walked around with her arms around Alex, hugging her from behind. And every time she sensed someone eyeing her blonde, she would tighten her embrace. Alex noticed this, and what she also noticed was that she didn't mind it one bit, in fact, the blonde enjoyed it.
They never went to another club that night, after all who would they pretend to if Astrid continued on the same club?
well, that was it. Hopefully, next one wont take this long...
Please review.
