ALEXIS ARE YOU LISTENING?" Asher snapped his fingers in front of me and I snapped out of my thoughts."Sorry, but what did you say?" I asked.I felt bad for zoning out on him but I just couldn't help it. My mind had been wandering about that almost kiss that Nick and I nearly shared. But the real was did I want him to kiss? I wasn't so sure anymore."I asked where you went on Friday after school," he said once more. "I came to your place after practice but your mum said you weren't home so I called James and he, apparently, didn't know hence I ended up calling you but you also didn't pick up.""Oh, I went out," I replied as we maneuverer our way in the school hallways."With who?""A friend.""Which friend?" he asked as he pulled me to a stop by his locker. "Because as far as I know, I'm your only friend.""Why do you want to know?" I smirked. It was fun messing with him at times.Asher shoved his Math book in his locker and slam

HIS LIPS WERE so soft and warm and I froze. Nick immediately pulled back."I'm so so sorry," he apologised. "Alex-"I don't know what I was thinking, heck I don't think I was thinking at all. I cut him off by placing my lips on his and kissing him. He froze as well but soon began kissing me back. I didn't know what to do or how to move my lips but he seemed to know what he was doing as I let him lead the way. For whatever reason, my hands instantly found themselves in his silky black hair.He pulled back and placed his forehead on mine. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he said breathlessly."And how long is that?" I asked breathless as well."Three weeks ago," he replied. "If someone told me I'd be here kissing you, I'd have laughed at them and dismissed them as being delusional.""Why?""When I first met you five weeks ago, I actually didn't quite like you because you reminded me so much of someone I lost. And each time I

WAIT! SO JUST like that he asked you to be his girlfriend and you said yes?""Yeah that's pretty much what happened during lunch."For the past hour, Asher had been asking questions about Nick none stop and I was growing agitated with the same questions over and over again.Asher was quiet as he thought of what to say. "Oh woah!" he finally said as he popped an M&M into his mouth. "I knew this day would come, okay scratch that, I always thought you'd be my cute innocent Alexis until we got to College but I guess things change."I glared at him from his bed where we were both sprawled with his laptop and a ton of snacks."Things change, people change," I did with a half shrug as I popped an M&M in my mouth. "And why the hell would you thing that of all things?" I asked as I grabbed some popcorn from the bowl."Oh, come on, you know what I'm saying is the truth," he said as he turned on his side to face me. "You of all people had a plan mapp

HONESTLY I LOVE James but just no. He was in my closet flipping through my clothes as he tossed the ones he didn't like to the floor. He was being a complete nuisance as always."Get out!" I seethed from my bed where I had been texting Asher for the past hour.James turned to give me a cheeky grin. "Stop being so over dramatic," he said as he rolled his eyes. "All I'm saying is," he started, "I think that you need to wear something sexy, you know-to show your figure and all. And don't you tell me otherwise because mum told me you went shopping and you bought something sexy."I finally believe that I am cursed. Because this is just unbelievable. My mum and brother both ganging up on me like this was all the proof that I needed."You're a pain, did you know that?" I said sighing. "It's not even Friday yet and you're already planning on embarrassing me."James turned back to my closet. "I just want to make sure things are perfect considering its two days f

SATURDAY WAS FINALLY here and James couldn't calm down from how excited he was to finally meet Nick in person. He gushed over how they both liked the same basketball team and how he couldn't wait to see the signed Michael Jordan jersey.While I, on the other hand was a bundle of nerves. What if this dinner didn't go well? or what if I have one of my episodes and fainted while he is here?I grabbed my phone and called Asher who picked up on the third ring."What do you want Alexis?" Steph's voice asked irritated.Taking a deep breath, I slowly blew the air out of nose before replying. "Can you put Asher on?""No! He's busy at the moment," she snapped. "Don't you have your own boyfriend to talk too?""Actually, yes I do have my own boyfriend, but Asher happens to be my best friend and I'd like to talk to him," I said calmly. "So, would you please be a doll and give him the phone?"Steph sighed and I'm sure if she were here then she would be gl
