Chapter 4- Our Old Habit

We are walking on the street our hands holding each other's Hands. I like it when Alex holds my hand and it's one of his habits Alex holds my hand when we're on the street I feel protected secure and easy. single action yet creates numerous emotions in me.

After a few minutes, we reach our school we're on time as always We greet Mr. Mac he's our school head teacher. " Good morning Mr Mac."

Mr Mac "Good morning hurry up before you later for class."

We went through the gate our school is so huge that we have a basketball ground, a football field, we even have a swimming pool, which I hate the most I don't like to be wet as I easily feel cold but on this ground, Alex is master in every single sport. We reached my class I'm two years younger than Alex so eventually we were in different classes but Alex always dropped me in my class before he went to his class I said "Bye Alex meet you at lunch hour."

Alex chuckled "What do you want to eat today."

Sabestin "Anything is fine what do you want to eat."

Alex " I think I prefer to eat you " and he smiles flirtatiously.

Oh! My poor heart this guy makes my heart fail one day. I said annoyingly because I didn't want to Alex see me blush " I'm not a food Alex if you want to eat. Eat something that properly fluffy meat kind of things I'm too skinny to eat."

Alex chuckled " I will eat you one day I will swallow you in one go. Okay I'm going meet you soon" he licked his lips flashing me a devilish smile.

And I wave my hand blankly suddenly Jesse rushes towards me crosses his arm around my shoulder and I back to reality " Hey Jesse."

Jesse " hey sabestin. buddy why do I always Alex drop you here first to the fifth floor his class is on the first floor why take a detour."

Sabestin " he always likes this but in our earlier school year I was locked in the elevator and I was kind of afraid as I was a small kid since that day Alex always dropped me first."

Jesse "Cool you both are like an old married couple" She started laughing loudly." Oh come on Jess not again I know can't change this and I love whatever it is"

Jesse "What love you never told me anything just tell me something fishy I can smell that."Her hand is on her waist and she narrows her eyes and looks at me closely I as usual a chicken in front of her scary glare I can't help myself and always say things that don't want to. I am hesitant and said to Jess " I ...... No Alex .... .... "

Jesse was annoyed "Just say it."

Sabestin "Look it's weird but just don't know how to start."

Jesse chuckled "Just start from the beginning."

Sabestin "You such a devil you know."

Jess "Thank you for the compliment now start." She made a face as if she was proud of it and swiped her hand in her hair.

Sabestin " Alex and. me ........ ..... ...... ...... "

He inhaled deeply and said eloquently "Me and Alex kissed and I kind of almost had sex something like that " I said everything in one breath and closed my eyes.

Jesse didn't say anything just her jaw dropped face showed an expression like * Are you just saying some complicated physical theory * then a few seconds later she just shook her face and said " Are you serious ? Or did he harass you ? If he did that I will just talk to my mom." yeah yes by the way her mom is Shareef of our town.

Sabestin chuckled tears in his eyes because of laughter........

And the bell rang so their conversation stopped in the middle of nowhere Sandestin wanted to back to his seat but Jess was as usual. As she can't stop her gossip carving suppressed she isn't ready to leave Sabestin's hand.

Sabestin " Jess bell is ringing let's take our seats or Ms. Lussy will make us stand all period" worried face.

Jess " I don't care that's good we can talk then the whole period if standing outside " curious smile.

Sabestin "Okay I will tell you everything later."

Jess "So you promise me."

Sabestin rolled his eyes "Yeah I'm, just let's take our seat before she comes."

Jess happily left Sabestin's hand they seat on their respective seats Ms Lussy entered class then class began.....
