Forgotten

Part 27

AN:  Above pic is Alyssa.

Alexis' POV:

"About ready?" Alyssa asked, as she stood at the front door, waiting to pick me up.  Today was the day I was going to college with her, to sit in on her art class, to see if I liked it.

I decided to go with a simple,  casual look, dark blue ripped skinny jeans with a blue v neck tee and black converse tennis shoes.  I went with a safe bet because the last thing I wanted was to stick out in any way.

"You looke cute", Alyssa said.  "Very college like."  She was also dressed in a similar fashion, casual, with light blue skinny jeans, a black crop top and black and white checkered vans.

"Yes, I'm ready.  And thank you.  So do you", I said, smiling.  Because even though I was nervous, I was also excited.

She smiled back.  "You ready for this?"

"Yes, I think so."

Just then, Nichole appeared at the door.  "Hey sis", she said smiling, and giving Alyssa a hug.

We talked for a few minutes longer, just small talk, before Alyssa finally said, "We better get going, Lex.  Or we're gonna be late for class."

"Ok" I said, then turned towards Nikki.  "Bye baby", I said, then kissed her on the lips.  

She kissed me back.  "Ok baby.  Have fun."

"Take good care of my girlfriend" Nikki said to Alyssa.  

"Don't worry, I will.  And I'll make sure she's safe, and she doesn't act all crazy, or get all out of control... and blah blah blah."

"You better.  I want her back the exact same way."

"Yeah, I know.  Sweet and innocent", Alyssa joked.

"Exactly."

We finally got to Alyssa's car, and started driving to campus.

"Goddamn, is Nikki protective of you", she said, talking shit on her sister.  "Doesn't that get on your nerves?"

I looked at her, taken aback, not sure what she meant.  "Not really.  At least, I don't think it's does."   But then all of a sudden, she got me thinking.  "Do really think she's protective?"

"Fuck yeah.  Very protective.  She's always looking out for you.  And I don't think she even likes you being out of her sight.  Which is fine.  As long as it doesn't bother you" she said, turning off the highway.

"It doesn't bother me.  I like her always being there, and watching out for me.  It makes me feel... safe", I said honestly, because it did.  It made me feel secure.

"Then it's cool then.  It would drive me crazy though.  But, Nikki has always been like that, I guess.   Growing up, she was always watching out for me too.  But I do know one thing, she really loves you.  I can tell."

"You can?" I asked, suddenly getting a warm and fuzzy feeling.

"Yep. She's got it bad", she said, pulling into the campus, and parking the car.

"You think so?"I asked. 

"Fuck yeah.  Real bad."

I laughed.  Alyssa was funny.  "Well, I guess I have it bad too."

"Yeah?  You love her?  Like real love?"

"Yes", I said, without any hesitation whatsoever.  "Like real love.  I wanna be with her forever."
