Chapter Eleven~ Most Awaited Confession

"Who knows what you'd have given me to drink, if it wasn't for that ghost I'd probably be sipping a bad coffee"he chuckles then sips casually

"You're MEAN" I pout

"You're a TEASE" he counters smirking

"AHEM!!" I clear my throat, "Don't distract me"

"Distract? How...AM I distracting you?" He asks innocently dropping the mug on the table.

Uh oh! "Umm..." I blink rapidly thinking of what to say

"Hmm?"he hums urging me to continue

"Nothing.." I say

"No no...I wanna know, how am I distracting you exactly?" he asks scooting closer

Gosh!

He scooted closer a little!!!

"Mhm?"he hums again

"I mean with all the talking and you...

You... Sitting so close to me" I accuse

He smirks then asks, "So...?"

"So?? Not.. NOTHING!!" I blush playing with my hands

Great! now I've made a fool out of myself

"Haha stop playing with your hands Missy"he laughs. " I'm here to help you in maths, LET'S concentrate on that, shall we? For real this time.."he looks at me

"Okay"I sigh relieved and he chuckles

Two hours later

"All done?"he asks

"Yep pretty much! I will just revise all this tomorrow" I stack the books together

"Great. I'm sure you'll do good"he encourages

"Fingers crossed"I raise my crossed fingers, "thank you so much. I wouldn't have been able to prepare this much if it wasn't for you" I smile

"You're welcome"he says

"Usually Sara helps me in this, she's good at this". By this I mean maths

"Hmm she is"he muses

I clear my lounge area"books free"

"I ordered a pizza for us. Hope that's okay?" He asks

"I'm so hungry!!!" I groan, "And...triple chocolate brownie" I pout

He laughs, "I know. I ordered both"

"You are the best!" I exclaim smiling

"Ahem" he coughs grinning widely

"Just don't let it go to your head" I roll my eyes playfully

"I'll try not to" he smiles hands on his head pushing it down and I laugh

*Ding dong*

"Pizza's here" Alex says heading to the door. He collects it and pays

"Finally!!" I sit up from the couch

"You can't be more hungry than me"he says placing it on the table and seating next to me

"Maybe I am" I say opening the box. Wow, my favorite roni. I inhale the scent of the pizza, salivating as I groan

"I didn't have lunch" he deadpans

"Oh. You win!!"I laugh a slice already in my hand

"Dig in" Alex says taking a slice

"Yummy" I moan savouring it. God! It feels like an ice cream and chocolate had a baby in my mouth!!.

"Definitely..HEAVEN!!" he says

We ate pizza in peace..

"Before I forget, I need to tell you something important" he says

"Sure, I'm all ears" I say, a slice in my mouth

"I told you about that contract we had a meeting last week for" he looks at me

"Yeah, the meeting you attended with your dad right?"I ask still munching on a slice

"Yep that one"he says

"What's the update?" I ask done

"Turns out they did like my presentation...A LOT!"he turns to my direction facing me

"Really???" I ask surprised

"Yep! Don't sound so surprised? You saw it and you said that they would love it" he reminds me

"I remember. It was really good, so you got the contract?" I ask excited

"YEP!!!" He grins

"Wow! That's huge". He's grin being contagious I grin too.

"Hmm" he hums

"Awesome! Alex--" I hug him, "I'm so happy for you"

"I'm happy now!"he says holding me

I pull away and he was looking at me with so much affection that I had the urge to tell him then and there about how I felt... I really wanted to tell him but I couldn't muster up the courage.

Later we both enjoyed Choco brownie before Alex left for home.

*****

Few days later

I didn't tell Alex anything that day because I didn't want to just blurt it out in the heat of the moment. I was tempted but I realllyyy wanted to do something special BEFORE... I confess my feelings to him. So I added Sara to help me execute the plan and I'm already nervous. I have lots to do today, let's see how it goes.

                                *****

At Saras Place( Saras Pov)

If I'm being honest I couldn't get Kara's whole plan. My excitement overshadowed my listening and now I'm a little confused. I can't ask her anything since she's busy preparing a surprise.

Let's revise what to do

Umm... I will tell Alex that Kara's stuck somewhere since her car broke down, she is alone so he needs to go pick her up...

But he could ask why haven't I rushed to pick her up?? Or why was I waiting for him when she needed help, she could get in trouble...

Hmm...I should just...

Oh 'HE IS HERE'

Alex lazily walks up to me with a frown

"Hey sis! You look weird...what happened?"

"Hey.." I say slowly

"Are you feeling well?" He asks concerned

"GREAT TIMING!!" I shout nervously

"Why are you shouting?" He asks a little taken back

"Sorry I didn't mean to" I say my voice back to normal, "sorry, I'm a little stressed out" i grimace

"Tell me. What happened?"he asks yet again

"I just got a call from Kara, her car broke down and she is all alone.." I say trying my best to sound convincing

"WHAT??" he shouts

"She was freaking out... you know her dad is out of town too... Please GO PICK HER UP!! before she gets herself into any trouble" I plead

"I'll get her safe. DON'T WORRY" he says reassuringly. "Text me the address will ya?" He says

"Ok, I'm texting" I say phone already in hand

"Ok" he says moving towards the door

"ALEX, WAIT!!" I call out

"What?" He stops and turns to me

"Your keys?" I ask

"Oh shit!...thanks!" He picks it off the table

"Hurry!"

"Ok" he leaves

Once Alex left, I send him Kara's location.

"Oh before I forget I should update Kara too..I can't wait for this day to get over so I can know all the details" I say giddily

YEAAHHHH EM SO EXCITED

Few minutes later

PHEW...I had to put a lot of effort into all of this.. can't believe they are finally getting TOGETHER!!!
