It was finally November and me and Alex got closer than ever. We've been hanging out every day. I took care of him every time he got drunk and cried over Arielle and his past girlfriend, Alexa. He would call me around 3 am saying that he's sorry and he needs me and I was always there for him

We haven't talked yet about our feelings but none of us insisted. We usually grabbed dinner or lunch and eat it at mine or Alex's or just went to an restaurant

He usually came at my house every time he got drunk around 2 or 3 am. He slowly opened himself to me. He told me about his childhood, past girlfriends and I listened to him every single time

We went out for drinks a few times but every time I had to make sure Alex was ok even he did told me he was over Arielle

I giggled and got dressed with a pair of black jeans and a black hoodie and some white sneakers and called a cab

None of us celebrated Thanksgiving so we decided we should do a 'friendsgiving' . Breana came with the idea we should write our names on some pieces of paper and everyone will pick one and on Thanksgiving we will give that person a gift

_______________________________

I wrote my name on the piece of paper and throw it in the bowl as everyone did the same

"Fine then. Everyone, pick a piece of paper" Breana smiled

"I swear, If I get Yellamo I'll leave" Alex chuckled and Nick rolled his eyes

Alex picked a piece of paper and opened it and a smile appeared on his face as his eyes started glowing

"My turn" I giggle and grab a piece of paper

   Bre. :)

I giggled to myself and looked back at Alex who was still smiling reading his ticket and whispering something in Breana's ear

We walked over Matt's and Breana's sofa and Alex picked me up in his arms before I could sit down

"Alex put me down" I laughed as I punched his arm gently

"Ya wanted to steal my place on the settee darlin'" Alex giggled and I rolled my eyes but still laughing

He sits down and placed me on his lap, his eyes still on mine

"You are crazy Alex" I nodded laughing

"Only for you" He whispered in my ear and chuckled after

"Oi lovebirds, want sommat to drink?" Matt asked and we looked back at him

Alex nodded as I did the same

I didn't realised but my hands were still around his neck and his hand hugged my waist

"Soo..." Breana broke the silence
"The gifts shouldn't be too expensive or things like that.. It has to be something meaningful" Breana nodded and everyone did the same

Alex started smiling again and nodded

"Why are you smiling so much today? Any way, it suits you" I asked Alex as he giggled

"I dunno, I am happy" He nodded and I grinned at him

He was miserable for the past 2 weeks and I couldn't tell him in words how much I waited for him to say that he was finally happy again

"I am happy because you're happy" I nodded and kissed his cheek as I stood up

"Where yer going love?" Alex asked

"I need a smoke" I replied and he nodded

I opened my bag and took the organic cigarettes I bought a few days ago and lit one

"what yer smoking?" Alex asked from behind me

"Oh god you scared me" I exclaimed as he chuckled

"Sorry love" He giggled

"Organic cigarettes" I nodded and took another puff

"Can I have a smoke too?" Alex asked as I nodded and handed him the pack

He giggled and took the cigarette from my lips and brought it to his

I won't lie, that was hot.

I looked at him as his cheekbone structure was more prominent when he took a drag from the cig

"not bad" He nodded as he put the cig back in my mouth

I sit down on the concrete as Alex did the same and we both shared my cigarette

"I never asked you, do you have a middle name?" Alex asked

"Arabella"
