Chapter 25:The Plan

"Hey"Alex called as he sat down beside me.

"What?"I fumed.

"Are you angry with me or something?"He asked.

"No"I lied.

"Then why have you been avoiding me since yesterday,did i do something?"He asked.

"Of course not,how could the great Alexander Williams ever do anything wrong" I said humorously.

"What did i do this time"He sighed.

"How many times do i have to say no before you'd leave me the fuck alone" I growled.

"So you're angry"He pointed out.

"No no no! I'm not angry and why would i be angry"I yelled.

"But you're angry"He pointed out.

"No"I said sternly as i got up from the couch but he gripped my wrist and pulled me back, making me to fall un top of him.

For a second, I'm distracted by his intent gaze as he brushes off the scattered hair already covering my face.

"What did i do?"He asked.

"N.. nothing" I stuttered.

"Is it because i went to Avery's?"He asked.

"No I'm just tired and i don't feel like talking right now" I lied.

"Are you sure?"He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yeah"I awkwardly said as i pulled away from his grip. I straightened my cloth and left immediately without another word.

As i arrived at my room,i lied down on the bed meditating on all the crazy things that has been happening during the last few days. What the fuck is happening to me?

Why can't i get Alex out of my head no matter how hard i try?

How did we go from being enemies to this.... I don't even know what to call us anymore. Everything was going fine and smoothly,my life was patching up and i wasn't thinking about some goddamn boy until now.

The fear of Zoey's statement being true sends shivers down my spine.

Could she be right?Was i jealous?

Of course not,i don't even like Alex that way so why would i be jealous? I don't care whoever he fucks or whatever he does.

I'll just behave normally like before,to hell with Alex and his bad boy lifestyle. I know he's just trying to get into my head and i won't give him that satisfaction.

Never.

Alex's POV

"I don't know man, she's been acting all weird since then"I groaned.

"For a girl to change a behavior all of a sudden because you went to fuck one of your girlfriends,it only means one thing....she has feelings for you, she's definitely jealous"Blake told me.

"First of all,i did not fuck Avery,it was just a prank call to piss off Liv. You should have seen the way she was staring at me, she's always hated me bringing in girls or even hanging out with them, even when we use to despise each other"I informed him.

"That's different,back then she just doesn't like you and always wants to tarnish your image but now is different,she likes you trust me."He told me.

"And how the hell do you know that,all she does is to annoy me and we fight all the time"I grimaced.

"With the little knowledge i know about women,they tend to hide their feelings most of the time,they don't easily admit their feelings,they love it when men make the first approach. Their massive ego would never let them to be assertive about their feelings. Girls tend to say no when they mean yes,they always say opposite of what they mean,trust me that girl likes you, have you seen the way she stares at you?"He said.

"I don't know man...this is insane,if someone told me one month ago that I'm gonna fall in love with her I'd have shoved hot chilies into their nostril or throat but now look at me... always daydreaming about the one girl i use to hate the most,the one girl that drives me insane,the one girl that pushes me to the extreme,how the fuck did i go from hating her to falling madly in love with this girl?"I am beyond frustrated.

"That's love"He said and i rolled my eyes at him.

See who's coaching me about love,why the hell am i even here taking relationship advice from the number one relationship sucker.

"Man I'm confused"I crossed my legs on the couch.

"Well you shouldn't be,just tell her how you feel and propose to her"He said.

"Are you nuts? don't you know Liv? she's crazy,what if she rejects me like last time"I growled.

"Last time was different,i mean who asks someone to me his girlfriend on the very first week he met her,you didn't even like her then, circumstances has changed" I rolled my eyes.

"Thanks for reminding me how much of a dick i use to be"I said humorously.

"Uhmm... I'm pretty sure you're still much of a dick but you're welcome"He smirked and i hit him playfully.

"You're obnoxious"I informed him.

"That's gonna be an understatement for you though"He teased.

"Come on champ, I don't know why the hell I'm even here wasting my time with someone who has no clue on relationship advice but still...please just tell me what to do, I'm really confused"I tugged at my hair roughly.

"Well...you can just confess your feelings to her and see how it goes"He said.

"You know that's insane,what If she blows me off or even slaps me or even worse...what if she never speaks to me again"I was pissed.

"True...Liv might be a bit crazy sometimes"

"A bit crazy??? that's an understatement, she's mad! fucking retarded, she's insane!"I growled.

"Yeah but pretty fun too and hot"He remarked.

"Hey don't even go there or else I'll skin you alive"I threatened.

"Okay... okay"He raised his hands up.

"What do you think i should do?"I asked frustratingly.

"Since you're scared that she might reject your proposal, there's just two options,wait for her to confess her feelings on her own"He told me.

"And the second option is?"I asked, definitely not considering the first option cause i know that's the last thing my proud girlfr.....friend,my proud friend will do.

"Nothing"He said.

"Huh?"I asked.

"There's no second option"He told me.

"Are you fucking kidding me!then why did you say there are two options?"I asked.

"Because i think it's cool to say it that way you know"

Remind me how i became friends with this asshole?

I was definitely not considering Blake's pathetic advice,i know my Liv she'll never confess her feelings to me.

That's even if she has feelings for me.

I'm going fucking insane!

"You're insane"I remarked.

"I know right, everyone's insane these days" He laughed, pissing me off on purpose.

"Fuck off"I scoffed.

"Or i could fuck you"He smirked.

"Ew..gross"I grimaced as he laughed pathetically.

Why does it feel like I'm talking to my exact replica. He speaks exactly like me and he's equally annoying. Now i see why Liv use to dislike me.

"So what do you suggest i do" I asked.

"I have a plan but i don't know if you'll like it"i could see the hesitation in his voice.

"Tell me"I requested.

"I'm not sure you'll...."

"Spill..."I yelled a bit harshly.

***

"Are you fucking nuts?that will only make matters worse"I yelled.

"It's a 50/50 percentage,what if it works"He smirked.

"I don't know man, I don't wanna complicate things"I told him.

"But what if it works,at least you'll know for sure if she has feelings for you,then you can move forward"He said.

"This is insane"I stated.

"But it just might help"He smiled brightly.

"Well....."

"Think about it"He smirked.

Liv's POV

"He's obnoxious and very mad"I informed Zoey.

"Are you still rattling about that stuff?"She said as she chuked a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

"Yeah..he just keeps pissing me off"I groaned.

"Hey babe"We heard Blake's voice from behind us. We turned our head to see him approaching us. He placed a soft kiss on Zoey's lips and then sat down beside her.

"Babe?are you guys like...back together?"I asked. I wasn't really surprised because of the way she ran off the other day but it seems so soon.

"Yeah"Zoey answered. She was smiling so lovingly at him. I know she loves him so fucking much by the way she's looking at him. I wish Alex would look at me that way.

Alex?

Why the hell did i just think that?I must be loosing my mind.

"Uhm... please excuse me for a minute,i need to use the restroom"I told them and stood up immediately without waiting for their responses. I ran out of the cafeteria immediately.

As i was walking down the hall,i face smashed into a wall. Oops... it's not a wall... it's Cade.

"Hi"He smiled.

"Hey"I growled and turned to walk past him but he gripped my wrist, pulling me back to face him.

"What part of stay away from me did you not understand!"I said harshly.

"Can we talk... please?"He requested.

"No we can't talk,let this be thee first and last time you'll cross paths with me!"I yelled. I was about walking away but i was stopped by his voice.

"Please Liv...i know what i did was wrong but I'm really sorry, I'm not the same person i was back then, I've changed and you know it"He said.

"I'm still disgusted by you Cade and it changes nothing. I think it's best if we stay away from each other. I didn't tell Alex about the last time you tried to force yourself on me,you know he'll do more than take your basketball scholarship if he finds out"I told him.

"He told you about the scholarship stuff?"He asked.

"Yeah and in as much as i hate you right now,i really feel bad foe you, I've tried speaking to him about it but i know he's too strong headed and won't listen"

"I don't care about the scholarship Liv,i just want you to forgive me, you don't have to worry about my basketball career,he still put me back on the team remember?but I'm just not on the scholarship list anymore but i can handle that,just here me out please"He pleaded.

"I don't wanna talk to you Cade,the more i see you,the more irritated i get"I informed him.

"No,you don't mean that"He said.

"I do,and if you know what's good for you,i think it's best you stay away from me or else...you know what Alex can do,i need not remind you that"I said and walked away without another word being said.

***

"Hey"Alex said as he grabbed a can of pepsi from the fridge.

"Hi"Was my cold response as i continued baking the waffles i was busy making.

"Are you still upset with me?"He asked.

"Upset?why would i be? I'm not upset with you"I lied.

"Seemed like it"He breathed as he opened the can.

"I'm not upset with you Alex"I told him as i dished out the waffles in two separate plates.

"Then why have you been avoiding me?"He asked.

"Because...i didn't feel like talking or fighting"I told him.

"That doesn't make sense"He said.

"Even you don't make sense Alex"I informed him.

"Is that supposed to be an insult because it's pathetic"He rolled his eyes.

"No.. you're pathetic"I informed him.

"Nope... absolutely not... I'm just the best..admit it already"He smirked.

"You wish Alex"I laughed.

Alex's POV

I'm glad to see her laughing again. The tension in this house has been killing me.

It's suffocating.

"Care for some waffles?"She handed me a plate of waffles which i took from her.

"Thanks"I said to her as i followed her out to the living room.

"Let's watch a movie"She suggested.

"I hate those lame ass movies you always choose. If we're watching a movie then i get to pick the movie"I told her.

"Fine"I didn't expect her to agree so easily. What's come over her?

I switched on the Tv and sat down on the couch beside her as i went through the channel list.

"Let's watch this"I told her as i switched to E!Entertainment where botched was showing.

"I'm not watching this dumbass show" She groaned and i chuckled. I purposely put this channel to piss her off.

"Well i feel like watching it so that's what we're gonna be watching"I laughed.

"Who cares about some dumb surgery program"She growled.

"I do"I lied. I didn't give a shit about this shitty show but i just wanted to annoy her a bit. I love the look on her face whenever she's mad at me.

"Argh"She groaned.

"Don't you think I'd look nice if i got my nose reshaped"I teased.

"Ew"She scowled.

"I think I'd look hot with a more pointier nose"I teased.

"Absolutely not.... you'd look like the fool you already are"She said and i chuckled.

"Am i?"I smirked.

"What?"She asked obliviously.

"Am i a fool?"I asked.

"Is that even a question,in fact,fool is an understatement for you, you're a moronic idiot"

Ouch.

We spent about thirty minutes arguing and fighting before we finally concluded on watching some shitty romcom. Honestly i have nothing against these movies but i just love pestering her everytime. The look on her face whenever i make comments on how lame her movie choice is always turns me on full mode. Damn this girl has really gotten into my head.

After about two hours,the shitty movie which i was paying zero attention to, finally came to an end. I looked over at Liv who was lying down on the couch,already sleeping.

She looks so damn innocent while sleeping. No one would know how sharp tongued this girl could be when they watch her sleep. Even in her sleep she's still fucking beautiful and flawless.

Who looks this good during their sleep?

I switched off the tv and tossed the remote carelessly on the empty space beside me. I stood up and bent over to where she waa lying down. I carried her gently unto my arms as i plodded towards the stairs, careful not to wake her up.

As i reached the end of the stairs,i heard her mumble something in her sleep but i could barely make a sentence out of it. I made my way to her room and pushed it open gently and made my way to her bed. I laid her down carefully and covered her with a duvet. I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and left the room without another word.
