SEVEN

Alex has been keeping her distance from me or should I say I'm withdrawing myself from everyone including Mom. After my little 'chat' with Adry,I've to make a difficult decision about my life that would break some of my relationships or keep them if I choose the latter.

"Lexy...." I called and she looked up smiling.

"Hey, it's been a while.." she said and I nodded in agreement.

"What have you been up to?" I asked and she blushed avoiding my eyes. Okay...

"I went on dates, the guy is pretty nice and he has the weirdest nickname for me,Dria." She said wrinkling her nose and I laughed.

"It's cute. You wanna grab some ice cream later?" I asked and her eyes lit up.

"I'd love to. I thought I'd almost lost my bestie.." hmm Lexy

******************************

"He has a kid sister, Chloe and she has the perfect voice. His Mom, Melissa is really nice and we bonded immediately. His dad didn't really warm up to me tho. He even has a dog,Shades,a cute dog. I can't remember her breed though and he has tons of bodyguards and servants and maids..." She rambled on and on and I chuckled at how cute she looked.

"You sound smitten Lex,he sounds nice but don't be deceived,the really nice ones and cute looking ones are the deadliest." I said and her eyes widened in horror.

"Really?" She asked and I chuckled.

"No Lex,I'm just kidding." I said roaring in laughter. Uhn she fell for that.

"Not funny and don't talk to me again.." She said and I grinned.

"I'll get you more ice cream.."

"Sure...and tell me more about your secret crush.."

******************************

"Mom! Please get the door,my hands are sticky with dough.."

"Sure honey..oh hey Adrain. You look handsome as ever..." Mom said and I groaned. What's he doing here?

"Thanks Mrs Night. You look pretty too.." Adrain said and Mom giggled.

"Oh stop with the Mrs thing Adrain,call me Lissa or Ali. Iz get over here,I'll finish up. You've a special guest.."

"Hey..." I said walking into the room. He looked perfect on my couch, like it was made specially for him.

"Hey Josie,can we talk?" He asked staring at me weirdly.

"Oh my God,is it Lexy? Or Greg? Or oh no Meghan mom!" I panicked and he looked at me confused.

"Huh? Oh no Josie, no one's hurt. I needed to tell you something.."

"Okay... Mom I'll be back.."

******************************

"Uh,is this the part where you pierce me from behind and flee?" I asked and he rolled his eyes.

"You watch too much movies..." He said and I scrowled.

"Hey don't hate,movies are life." I said and he rolled his eyes grinning.

"Why do you need to watch a movie when you live in one?" He said trying make a joke and I nudged him playfully.

"Jerk.." I said and a deafening silence took over the atmosphere. Only the sound of trees waving and crickets and frogs croaking filled the air.

"I..."

"I..." We said in unison and laughed.

"Okay you go first." Adrain said and I shook my head.

"You brought me here to talk...."

"Yeah...I think I ..." What was he going to say??
