THIRD PERSON'S POV Alexa fingers fumbled absentmindedly with the keys of the piano in Calan's room. She stared blankly at nothing in particular as she ran her fingers over the keys again and again while Calan sat by the other end going over some work on his MacBook. He had somehow managed to block out the sound of the distorted piece Alexa was playing. It had been a few hours since they returned from dinner with Micheal and April, and Alexa seemed to have to been distracted by what ever thought she had been having. She had been that way since she returned from the restroom with April, but she didn't seem sad or upset so he simply let the matter be. 'You think we did the right thing letting them go?'. He had asked Micheal when Alexa had left with April to the restroom. She had after all, told him that she believed April was mad at her, and they both knew how April could be from time to time. 'Yeah. They obviously need to talk things out'. Micheal had replied. 'That's not what
Third person's POV Alexa found it rather hilarious that she was actually doing this; opening an instagram account to save herself from the humiliation and sneer of her peers. Everything proceeded smoothly, and when it was time to upload a profile picture she found herself becoming indecisive of what to choose. The pictures she had were all either too plain and empty or too....too plain and empty. "Do you think i should take a picture on my way out tomorrow?".She asked him. She had abandoned her seat to settle in the one closest to him so he could see the screen of her phone. "You're not going to attend classes tomorrow. And why wait till tomorrow to take a picture?". He asked her. She glanced down at what she was wearing. "I cant possibly take a picture like this". He told him."You dont have to take a full picture". He said. "But my hair's a mess". A dark smirk curved his lips and he nodded consideringly. "Perfect". He said. And before she could comprehend what he meant
Third person's POV Alexa gently bushed her fingers through Calan's hair as she stared ahead blankly. They had showered, had breakfast and returned upstairs so Calan could get some sleep, he had told her to go shopping or something while he took a nap but she had insisted on staying with him. "You'll have something to post on your timeline". He had told her. "I don't care about my stupid timeline". She had replied. And he had sighed resignedly. "What will you do while I'm asleep then?". He had asked her. She hadn't needed to think much before replying. "I'll stay with you and watch over you". She had said. And here she was. He had laid his head on her lap and she had brushed her fingers through his hair every now and then. She knew that worrying would truly do nothing but she couldnt help it. He had barely eaten during breakfast and he still had a slight fever, she was resisting the urge to call Dr. Waltz. However, she knew she tended to be overdramatic sometimes, and so she
Third person's POV Alexa's followers had continued to increase and they were demanding a reaction from her. They had rushed to comment on every post she shared, and when she chose not to reply to a single one of them they had flooded her DM with messages, some hateful, some mildly hateful, and some were just curious really. 'Hey, is it true you had a baby and lost it?' 'Hey! Stop fucking around with your friend's man and answer our messages!' 'Is it true that you're dragging Leela to court?' 'Bitch! You have the perfect life yet you're so not perfect!' 'Follow back!' 'Still hiding?' Alexa rubbed her temple wearily as she continued to scroll through the messages, more and more just kept on coming in and she was getting rather tired of them all. 'You're just a caward who wont even show her real face! Leela probably left a scar to teach you a lesson' Her gaze lingered on the message and for some reason a bolt of boldness surged through her. She found herself brushing her hair
Third person’s POV The cold water enveloped her foot first as she dipped it into the water, it sent a shiver down her spine and caused her heart to race.“Come on”. Calan coaxed. She let the water envelope most of her body as she lowered herself into the pool fully. To says he felt uncoordinated and awkward would be a serious understatement really; it was weird just floating there while trying to tentatively move her legs in strokes. She liked the feeling though, she liked how the cool water felt against her skin, she liked how it just seemed to make room for her as she went deeper. “It’s not so bad, is it?”. He asked her as she gripped his hands tightly. She shook her head. It actually wasn’t, just long as her head didn’t go underneath. “No, not at all”. She replied. “It’s…..exhilarating”. He chuckled while nodding agreeingly. “You’ll find it even more exhilarating if you didn’t have to hold my hands so tightly”. He told her. She looked down at her hands which were holding
Alexa's POV We had stayed by the pool talking about random stuff still we realized that it wasn't so hot and bright anymore, we headed back inside though i didn't want to just yet. Calendar had insisted that we go in because he didnt want be catching a cold or something. "So, apart from celebrities and fictional characters, there has to have been a real person you've had a crush on". He had said as we had made our way back upstairs. My cheeks had heated up at once on thinking about my crushes. Had i crushed on a person for real before? It was a big yes, obviously. I had firsy had a big crush on Michael, and then him...... But how was i to say that? How was i to tell him that? I hadn't responded, and strangely he hadn't asked again either. Now in my room, i had changed into a comfortable chiffon dress and was drying my hair with a towel when i heard a knock on the door. "Come in". I called out. I had expected it to be Mildred who wanted to ask me about dinner or something, but
ALEXA POV My eyes widened at not just the sudden incursion but also the confession he had just made. My heartbeats slowed as i tried to process all that was happening; it had happened all too quickly. One moment i was in his arms with him kissing me fervently, and the next thing i knew i was lying on my back and was feeling the blissful sensation of his hands roaming around my body and feeling me up. It was happening all too quickly, so quickly that i couldn't stop myself from saying; "Wait..." "I don't want to, Alexa". He replied while trailing kisses on the side of my neck. My head fell back in pleasure and for a split second i almost lost my mind. "Calan.....wait". I said, the breathy voice in which i spoke probably didn't make it sound like i truly wanted him to wait but he did. He stopped trailing kisses on my neck but continued to hover over me nonetheless. His eyes were all dark now and he looked almost....upset. "Are you mad at me?". I asked him while truing to st
Third person's POV 'Oh my God! Leela really did hurt her! It's no wonder they're filling a case!' 'Boy, that looks painful!' 'Eeeishhh!' 'Nope! It wont leave a scar, but Leela most definitely should have left you one!' 'It wont leave a scar.....don't exaggerate, princess'. 'Fuck off, it wont leave a scar!' 'It'll definitely leave a scar!' 'She deserves that!' 'OMG, that Leela girl definitely is an animal.....' Alexa scrolled through the comments on the picture she had uploadedthe previous day, somehow, she found herself completely unbothered by them, she found herself not caring about what they said or thought. Her talk with Calan had done her a great deal of good. It may have been irrational but there had always been that fear that he'd leave her and probably go back to Layla, but after seeing how he had stood against Layla the other day at the security's office she had begun thinking otherwise, but when he told her he didn't want what he had with her with anyone else
