When We Met (Alex Aiono fanfiction)

Chapter 52: Complicated Feelings, Part 3

"Here," Alex feeds me a piece.

"Martin, I think I'm suppose to eat outta plates, not your hand," I giggle.

"Finally a smile-you've been bummed halfway through the party," Alex reports.

"Stalker much, Youtube?" I ask him.

"Sari, I know something's up with you and Casey--what's going on?" Alex cuts to the chase.

I sigh, as I grab his wrist and take him to the sunroom near the kitchen.

"Alex, I think we need a little break.."

*Henry's POV*

"Maya, I have some stuff to confess," I sigh.

"Go on," Maya advises.

"So under the mistletoe, I kissed Claire back..because--Claire likes me," I burst.

Maya's glassy look turns more glassy. "She stepped back..?"

I nod slowly. "But Maya--I like you.."

Maya just sighs," I don't know anymore.." She walks off.

Oh gosh.

*Maya's POV*

Why can't this just end already...ugh. 

"Maya, look--" Claire tries to explain, but I just walk to Sara and Alex.

*Alex's POV*

"What do you mean "break"?" I ask Sara.

She grabs my hands," Alex, I love you--but.."

"Just tell me what happened--I'll understand," I convince her.

She exhales sharply,"..Casey tried to kiss me."

I knew there was something off about her..not that I dislike her in anyway--she seemed shady.

I sigh. "..do you like her..?" 

She gives me a glassy look," Alex, I barely know her--I love you!" 

"I love you too," I tell her, looking into her eyes.

"So what am I suppose to do now..?" Sara asks me.

"Just tell her about her true feelings--that's what I told Sabs and Diamond," I suggest.

She chuckles," You attract too many people." She gets up and goes off to find Casey.

"Alex," Maya comes up to me, angrily. "We have to leave now.."

*Casey's POV*

I feel guilty. I mean I do like a girl that's already taken--another great job, Casey.

"Casey," Sara calls me.

I look up. "Hey, sorry--"

She just embraces me into a hug. "Look, Cas. I get that you like me--but to be honest, you deserve better. There are way better girls than me out there--smarter, prettier..and one day you'll thank me for doing this. But I'm still up for being best friends," she says, still hugging me.

"Sure," I nod.

BUZZ--

Maya.

"Hold on," I tell her, as I read Maya's text.

Maya: we need to go now

"Looks like we're heading back," Casey says, seeing Maya and Alex behind us.

I turn around to see Maya a little worried.

"Maya, there you are--" Henry says, walking up to her.
