Better Choices (bwwm)

I got the weirdest chill watching Alex walk down the stairs. He's not the Alex I know he's different.

"What is Ivy doing here?" He squints at me, back to the squinting shit. I thought we left that in college?

"She might be having a mental break. She said something about you guys being married and having kids" Kimani proceeds and he just laughs.

"Ivanna, maybe you drank too much at the club and fell into the wrong spider verses, Im not sure but we're definitely not married and I definitely do not want kids" Alex stares at me before walking away.

I'm not sure how to feel about what just happened all I can do I turn away and walk back to the place Kimani is staying at. I don't even know where I'm going.

Maybe I am in the wrong universe, this couldn't have all been a dream. Don't tell me everything that happened was all just a dream.

Right then and there I stop in my tracks walking back into the house ready to give Alex a piece of my mind.

"Your father works in the mafia," I tell him and he looks at me, somewhat dumbfounded.

"My father owns a media corporation. The mafia isn't real" He looks at me in complete seriousness.

"Your sister crashed her car into my sister's car" I throw at him and he stares at me.

"Andrew dated Iris, my sister?" I keep going and he has nothing to say.

"How do you know about the car accident?" He squints at me.

"Because we found out together, Alex we were together, are you seriously confused?" I widen my eyes at him and he nods looking at me with some apprehension.

"Ivy I'm gonna because completely honest with you. We may have had a little bit of fun last night and I'm not sure how you know about my brother's dating life and my sister's business but it has to stop. If having sex with you causes you to fantasize about our future and cyber stalk my family then I'll never touch you again" You're kidding me.

"Nobody wants to cyberstalk you, Alex. You're not hot shit. You can act like I'm crazy all you want but when I tell you what I do know the laughter will disappear" I shrug.

I forget how Alex and I were. We were out here meeting friends and getting to know others besides each other. We couldn't stand each other at a point and that's honestly not believable to me. This sexual tension I feel when we're close though? That's a feeling I know for sure won't go away because I still feel it to this day. That spark has always been there. I never want it to leave either.

"I'm not hot shit but I definitely am some type of shit because girls have no issue crushing on me" He responds.

"Of course, they don't, you're an athlete" Does he even hear himself? I don't think he does because any make athlete on campus, especially in Alex's height range with those looks can get anyone they dare to look at.

However, that's no help with his ego because I swear he thinks he's some type of hot shit or some type of superior princess and he's not.

"And I also don't need you to touch me ever again if that's how we're playing it" I shrug and look at him before pushing the lamp off of the table and watching it shatter as I walk out of the house.

Maybe I'm a little upset. I feel some frustration because of two years worth of memories. None of which Alex or anyone else remembers.

I wasted time dreaming about something that was not even real.

"Ivy" Kimani shouts while walking from behind me.

"Ivy!" She keeps yelling and I turn around.

"What's going on? I'm genuinely concerned" She looks at me and I shrug. I don't even know myself.
