Chapter 2:
Crap Home
It's really irritating when your trying to change, and there's your step-brother/boyfriend-approved-by-parents. He's sitting on my bed, looking through my love notes, and he's laughing at each and every one of them.
"Listen, not trying to be rude but, THIS IS MY ROOM! And you have one in which you can be doing inappropriate things. Now how about you walk there?" He smirks and in a flash he grabs my arms and pulls me down on top of him, his arms around me again. He's making me stare at him, making me want to slap him but his hands are grabbing mine. I'm pulling back but all he does is kiss my neck until, SLAM.
"Alex I got your call and-" Ever had that uncomfortable moment when it seems like your best guy friend really looks hurt for some strange reason. And I'm not stupid, I know he likes me, but I don't want to ruin a great friendship. "Alex?" I suddenly get alot of strength and I push myself off of him, punching him in the face and running over to Eli, who's expression is more than angry.
"Damn Alex, your fucking strong." I grab Eli and pull him out, making him face me. He's clenching his fist and his head is down, as if he will seriously hurt somebody right now.
"Eli, about that back there, don't worry about it. It's not like I said yes to this relationship, WHICH it isn't! But you know..." And the best thing in the world happens. He pulls me into his arms and is holding me tightly, but not lose your breath tight. He whispers in my ear and tells me,
"Alex, if I see him do that to you, I'll kill him next time. You know you mean the world to me." See, I told you. But, I couldn't help it, I wrapped my arms around him and took in his smell, his softness, his everything...
"What the fuck Alex?" I clench my teeth and keep myself in his arms until stupid Brandon pulled me off of him, pulling me behind him. "Listen, dude, this is my girl and not yours, so that means you can't touch her, hold her, or even feel her-"
"Shut up Brandon! I'm not your girlfriend! Me and you are over! OVER! We've been and this isn't going to work out." I walked back next to Eli and grabbed his hand as we both started to walk down the stairs, leaving pissed off Brandon alone. I'm still holding his hand so I let go, but he grabs my hand again.
"Your my girl." And that is what I love about him.
Later...
"Alright! Fine I'll call you tomorrow." Eli's walking me into my house and we're both standing there, as always. After every time we hang out, it always ends up like this. You know those cliche moments when after the date, the guy ALWAYS kisses the girl right when she's getting home? Well, we've done that a million times, except the kiss part.
"You better." He chuckles and pulls me in for another hug, this one being longer than the others. He pulls me back a bit and looks into my eyes, his two blue eyes mesmerizing. He puts a strand of hair behind my ear and he smiles, letting me go. Woah, first time that's happened. "I'll see you at school tomorrow." He waves and starts walking away and that's when I did something I know I'd regret. I ran back (in heels, I know) and turn him around pressing my face to his and instead, kissing his nose. He's laughing and my cheeks are turning brighter red until he softly grabs my chin and pulls my lips up to his, and the moment our lips touch, it's that crappy fireworks show. He starts pulling me closer to him, the kiss getting even more passionate until he stops and pulls away, me out of breath. "Goodnight Princess." He pecks my cheek and I'm left there breathless as he walks back to his car. He drives out and i finally realize he called me Princess, which, I hate. But I'm too happy to be angry and I walk inside the house, and don't even notice the pack of angry family members burning holes in me as I grab a drink.
"...Sup." My mom walks over and is staring at me all creepy like until I swerve past her and start walking upstairs. "Alright then weirdos."
"Alex Marie John-"
"Mom, don't." I groan at her, as she tries to finish my whole name.
"You kissed another boy while you're with Brandon? Why would you do such a thing!" Fuck, not this again.
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND! He's just a boy who really likes making out with different girls until he has none left, so he starts ALL OVER! He doesn't want me, he doesn't even love me! He's my STEP-BROTHER! That's inappropriate in so many ways. I don't like talking back to you both, but he's just history. And if I have to take him as my brother, then be it. Well, have a goodnight." I turn and giggle all the way up the stairs and into my room when I'm thrown against the wall and am captured. I know this game of his..."Brandon, qui-" He kisses me really hard and then pulls away. "WHAT THE-" He does it again and this time I try to hit him, but all he does is catch my hand and hold it.
"I think you know what I'll do everytime you talk. Something so horrible." I roll my eyes and let him proceed. "Alex, you may think I'm just playing a game right now, but I'm not. I like you. When I saw you the other day, it was the best thing to happen to me. And you might think I'm just saying this crap-"
"That's cause it is cra-" Kiss, kiss, kiss.
"It's not though. I promise you. And I know that guy Eli really likes you but...I like you too Alex and I want you to-"
"No."
"I want another chance."
"And why should I say yes?"
"Because, everyone deserves a second chance to earn that beautiful girl again." CRAP!
"But what about Eli? He IS my..." Well...not officially but,
"Oh I'll take care of him."
"WHAT!?"
"I'm gonna go talk to him. Don't worry, no fighting, I sware." I bit my lip and judged this. If I can show my parents that he's going to be cheating on me, they'll totally approve of Eli, and make Brandon leave me alone. Hopefully.
"All you have to do is one thing."
"And what's that?"
"Let me go change and sleep."
"May I accompany the lady?" He's smirking but he grabs my hand and kisses my palm softly, letting himself out as I walk over to my bed and stare at my cellphone. Oh why god, oh why.
"Hello?"
"Eli...I need to talk to you."
