Chapter27: join me?

My tears were flowing down the moment we reached my room. Alex pulled me in his arms and I cried my heart out. I was really an eyesore but I really felt so bad when me friends were treating me like I'm thin air. I don't like it when they gang up on me like that. I know I'm in the wrong but the most they could do is ignore me.

"Why are you crying? You were so vicious right now. What happened to my tigerress huuh?" Alex said as he pulled out of the hug chuckling then he wiped my tears. My big blue eyes stared at him and I smiled sadly.

"Everyone is ignoring me even you were ignoring me too."I told Alex and he smiled at me.

"I'm sorry about earlier okay. Now let's sit down. Furthermore, I was thinking about you."he said as he led me to the edge of the bed. I looked at him surprised.

"What were you thinking about me?" I asked him smiling forgetting about my annoying friends for a while.

"What will you reward me after I tell you?" He asked smiling mischievously. I thought for a while but I asked back,

"What do you want as a reward?"

"We go out tonight."Alex said and my eyes went wide open. Is this a date? I'm going on my first date. I immediately nodded and he told me.

"I was actually thinking about you and how you are changing me. Do you know how people today looked at me weirdly when they saw what I was wearing?" He said and I giggled.

"If it was that good then I will always choose your clothes everyday. How about that." I chuckled.

"Hell no. My friends teased me all day."he said and I stopped smiling when he said the word friends. I remembered my friends who are downstairs and are super mad at and it is all Alex's fault. Damnit Alex for distracting me for such a short time.

"They'll come around you know that right? Give them time and show them who's the boss." Alex said smiling and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion." What I mean is if they are giving you silent treatment then give them what they want. You can't show them you are too desperate and for that matter you can't let a person see how desperate you are." Alex said.

"But I am the one in the wrong, I should apologize first."I told Alex and he laughed.

"It doesn't matter. Let me tell you, not showing desperation is the best weapon to win a fight. For example in Business when I'm making a deal and then I start showing how desperate I am, my opponent will start degrading me and use that as a weapon against me. You understand what I'm saying right?" Alex asked and I just looked at him. I didn't understand anything at all. All I knew is that I should apologize but since my friends are ready to give me silent treatment, I'll give them the treatment too and not look so pathetic by being desperate as Alex said.

"Okay, Alex, I clearly don't understand but I'll try not to act desperate. You do know they are mad at me because of you right." I told him raising my eyebrows at him.

"How do I come in them being mad at you. I definitely don't know them and from the looks of it they don't like me, especially that boy."he said and I gently flicked his forehead and I laughed when he pretended to feel pain. I really wondered if Alex and Shawn will get along any time soon since they started roughly.

"Alex wake up, they are mad because you're my boyfriend and they still don't know that I quit my other job becauseof you. If they know they will be mad at me for longer and probably kill you."I told him laughing.

"So don't tell them it's because of me. And in my defense, I didn't make you quit your job honey. You're just impulsive and you took my words too seriously and probably because your head is so dirty." Alex said smiling fondly at me and I raised my eyebrows at him as if I couldn't believe Alex was saying this.

"You are unbelievable. You said you would fire me and I didn't know you were joking because it didn't look like you were. Then you said you would pay me more if I sleep with you. What was I supposed to think.huuh....? You were a pervterted stranger by then."I told Alex.

"What I'm I now?"Alex asked all serious. I looked at him and I thought about that for a while but I decided not to answer.

"Are we still going out or not. It's getting late. My friends are probably gone as they said they will go."I said sadly.

"How do you know they are already gone?"he asked.

"Because they definitely want to teach me a lesson. But I understand, we once did that to Andy."I said

"Who's Andy?"Alex asked confused.

"Andy is the girl you found there. The three of us have been friends since we were little." I told Alex and he nodded in understanding.

"You do know you have to apologize to your mom right?"he said softly and I looked at him questioningly." You were rude just now and I saw how she frowned at you." Alex said and I suddenly felt quilty for how I talked to my mom. I nodded in agreement and then he stood up then he started to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing?" I asked him panicking.

"I'm going to take a shower. You wonna join me?" He shamelessly asked with a smirk and my heart skipped a beat at the sight of him smirking like that. He looked so handsome and I don't know how I got to him and wrapped my hands on his neck. I kissed him then when I felt he didn't react I realized what I did and pulled away looking all flushed. I was embarrassed and I looked away.

"Sorry, I didn't know what came over me. Take a shower first I won't join you."I said and started to walk away not to see his mocking face. I thought he would pull me back for a kiss but he didn't. I was so disappointed when I heard the bathroom door close. I felt like crying and at the same time I don't know what was happening to me. I have been losing control when Alex was near me and I don't know what to do about that. Then my mind went to the date he was going to take me or so I thought. If a guy asked you out it has to be a date right? And that guy has to be interested in you right? I answered myself in my head convincing myself that he probably like me. I don't know why I want him to like me so much but I want him to like me and kiss me back.

"What are you thinking about baby?"Alex asked me indifferently like nothing happened. I looked at him pulling my thoughts away. He had only a towel wrapped his waist and I looked away from him. I can't let his body make me kiss him again and embarras myself more.

"Nothing, I'm going to take a shower too."I calmly said and I went to the bathroom. I stripped myself naked and stepped in the shower and closed my eyes letting my thoughts of Alex run in mind as water run down my body.

"Are you mad at me baby?." Alex's voice came behind my right ear and I immediately opened my eyes shocked. Fuck I forgot to close the door. I turned around to glare at Alex for entering the bathroom.

"Why would I be mad, Alex?"I asked him with a fake grin and he just looked at me. Then his eyes wondered on my lips then went down to my neck then I remembered, I'm fucking naked before Alex. My eyes widely opened as I used my hands to cover my private areas looking away.
