to spend more time with him.
“Sweet, it’s a date, then.” Alex turns attention back to his docked iPhone. When he finds a list entitled “Alex’s Jamz,” he presses play.
I fight the urge to cover my ears with my hands. The music is loud and I can feel the heavy bass in my chest. The lead singer sounds like he was either killing a cat or being killed by a cat.
“I love this underground band, they’re my favorite. Isn’t this some cool shit?” He has to yell over the top of the music, and even then, I can only make out half of what he says.
“Yeah, they sure are different.” I say and before the next song can play, he pulls up in front of a fancy expensive looking Italian restaurant.
“I thought we were getting pizza,” I say while Alex already has his seatbelt off and ready to get out.
“We are; they make the best pizza in the world. ”He places his palm on the small of my back guiding me inside the door. We order three pizzas, and take them back to his car. With three pizzas on my lap, I was getting hot and wiggling my legs.“ Why don’t you let me put those in the back seat?” I appreciate Alex taking pity on my burning legs. He puts the pies in the backseat and lingers in my direction when he turns back around. His mouth is so close to mine, I don’t want to breathe. He smiles before turning his attention back to the wheel and drives us to my house.
The entire ride back to my place, I wonder why he didn’t try to kiss me earlier, and wonder if he is going to press those beautiful lips to mine again soon.
We get out of the car and take the pizzas inside. “Looks like no one’s home; what are you going to do with all the pizza?”
“It’s football season so I can eat two by myself.” I cock my head to the side, examining him. He is lean and muscular, but not overly so and I had no idea where he would put it all.
“This way; Alex, we can take them to my room.” Another first, I’ve never had a boy in my room.
“This is really cool.” Alex says and looks around at the posters and graphs I have on my walls .I look around wondering if my decorations are too weird. “Is this where you want to go to college?” He is standing in front of my Brown poster.
“Yes, Heidi and I have been planning to go there for the longest time.” “What about you?” I ask in return.
“I don’t know for sure, yet, still waiting to see if I get a better last minute offer. If not, I’ll be at FSU on a football scholarship.
“I’m starved; are you ready to eat? ”I ask.
“I am, but I’m not ready to eat just yet.” Alex kisses me again, and this time we are alone in my room. I start to panic inside and feel relieved when he stops kissing me and grabs one of the pies.
True to his word, he ate two pizzas. “If you feel yourself getting sick, I have my own bathroom.” I point to the bathroom door. “I don’t want you losing your dinner on my rug.” We grab our books and my laptop and sit on the bed .I take a moment to reread the chapter before we tackle the outline. “Alex, we’re supposed to be reading the chapter.” I call him out for watching me instead of reading. “Just don’t think, because you’re a dumb jock, that I’ll do all the work and let you take half the credit.” I say, teasing, since he takes as many AP classes as I do.
“It’s your fault that I’m easily distracted.” Alex plays with a strand of my choppy golden locks; wrapping it around his finger. I feel nervous and smile at him. “There you go again, distracting me with that beautiful smile. Seeing you smile makes me happy; then I think about those soft, pink, kissable lips.” He runs his index finger over my mouth and uses it to pull my chin closer. I close my eyes and kiss him back. “I can’t get enough of you, Sophie. I feel like I’m floating on air; come fly with me.” His gaze is fixed on my eyes, and I know he’s
