I wish my life had

Background music so

I could understand

What the fuck is

Going on.

After the kiss, we went to some stalls and in the meantime ate a candyfloss, this time a blue one because the boys wanted a "male" candyfloss. We went shooting, playing basketball, catching ducks, and throwing rings. I chose a princess tiara when catching ducks so that when I play with Lizz, I have my own crown. I also shot and won a nice phone case. The boys had made it their goal to give me as many cuddly bears as possible. So Rayen won a life-size teddy bear for me with basketball.

I am going back to the car with Aiden and Ryan. Owen and Jax suddenly had to discuss something very important with Alex and are running a bit behind. Everybody is carrying at least one hug because otherwise, I couldn't carry them all to the car.

'I will send you the pictures' Aiden says with a wink as my ears start to get red.

We've arrived at the car as I sit in the back again. Alex wants to sit next to me when Jax and Owen look at him angrily and Alex sits down from the front. The two guys sit on each side of me and I see Alex laughing at me from the rearview mirror and giving me a wink. "Hey Lil," whispers Owen in my ear. 'If anything ever happens you come to us' he whispers seriously. "Even if it has to do with Alex. He's our best friend but you're like a sister to us. No one should hurt you. Even he shouldn't" this time Jax whispers in my ear.

I feel my heart grow for the two people next to me and give them each a kiss on the cheek. I see Alex looking at the two boys jealously and angrily and can do nothing but chuckle. This of course brings a smile on his face when he playfully rolls his eyes.

The car stops in front of our house and we say goodbye to the boys. Together, we step to the front door when I feel my fingers intertwined with mine. I look at our hands and a little smile decorates the corners of my mouth. We leave all the cuddles at the front door and decide to bring them to my room tomorrow. Arriving at our bedroom doors, we turn towards each other, not knowing what to do or what to say. To be honest, I'm a bit afraid that tomorrow he's going to pretend nothing has happened. I don't think I'm gonna be able to handle that again.

I didn't realize I was playing nervously with my t-shirt until Alex grabs that hand and I look up to him again. He looks down on me as he pulls me against him. 'Have good dreams and I'll see you tomorrow' he says with his head in my neck. I take a step back as I look at him, 'You too' I say back when I seal my words with a kiss on his cheek. I just want to open my door when Alex says my name. I turn back as he gently and tenderly plants his lips on mine. 'Sleep well' he says again when he slowly pulls back. I see his eyes twinkle and feel my cheeks turning red again. Quickly, I turn around and walk into my room. On the other side of the door, I hear him chuckle as the sound of a closing door lets me breathe out.

What happened today? I wonder. I had my first kiss. And even my second. As I get ready to go to bed, the questions keep going through my head. What's Mommy going to say? And Daddy? Should I let them know I kissed? And my brothers? Could they fly here, especially to kill Alex? Afraid that Alex will soon be in heaven with my turtle Max, I decide not to tell my family in Belgium about what happened today. Safety first!

I crawl into bed and one question I can't shake off. What are we now?

I hear someone knocking on the door as I mumble and put a pillow on my head. I hear the door opening and heavy footsteps walking to my bed. I feel something being put down at the end of my foot and a person sitting next to me on the bed. "Princess, wake up" a deep, sexy voice whispers in my ear. Slowly, I take the pillow off my head and open my eyes.

Above me hangs Alex's smiling head. I blink my eyes a few times to make sure I am not dreaming, when I still see him hanging above me. He wipes a tuft of hair behind my ear as he rubs his knuckles over my cheek. 'I've made breakfast,' he says when he points to feet. I put myself straight as Alex puts the plate on my lap.

On the plate there are two of his famous pancakes, around the pancakes, strawberries have been sprinkled with a little whipped cream. He also puts a glass of fresh orange juice on my bedside table.

'I hope you like it' Alex says insecure as he rubs his neck. 'I remembered you always make your pancakes this way so I thought I'll do the same and then I wondered what you'd like to drink and...' Alex rattles nervously, what makes me laugh. I interrupt him by giving him a kiss on his jaw, "It's perfect.'

Alex gets a big happy smile on his face as he also plants a kiss on my cheek. "In a few hours all your friends will come to help you get ready," he tells me. I look at him confused, "Get ready?'

"Yes, princess, prepare. Cause you have a date tonight' he wink before he leaves my room without further explanation, but not without stealing a strawberry from my plate.
