So Wrong, It's Right

Shameless

(In her high-tops with her favourite song, she's showing off, the way she walks, it's on...Take me, show me, the corners of your empty room, the trouble we could get into...)

Suddenly, someone was banging against the door aggressively, and I could tell I was fucked. I looked at Alex, breaking our lips apart as our eyes locked in dread. What the hell were we gunna do?

Alex took my hand in his "We'll finish this...later?" he offered, and I nodded, thoughts racing through my head on how to get out so much that I hadn't realized Alex was pulling me over to the window, our only possible escape. He knelt down on the floor, stretched his arms out and cupped his hands, looking up at me. I looked at him and sighed, taking the stupid heels I was wearing off and throwing them with the wig and took a deep breath before I lifted one foot into Alex's palms and he pushed me up to the window. I placed my hands on the window frame and pushed myself up and through it, landing safely on my feet and waited for Alex to appear. I could hear him moving something, which is when I realized he was moving the throne chair to the window so he could get out, and suddenly his head popped up in the gap and he got out, stumbling around on the concrete getting his balance before he took my hand and we ran to my car, not looking back.

From there, Alex called Matt on his cell and we waited for them to come out, hiding behind my car everytime we saw some huge bounced walking up and down the entrance. When we saw the guys run across the road to us, handing me my clothes. "I uhm...folded them for you." Matt muttered, not able to look at me like the others. Only Kara seemed to be able to look at me, and she was just excited about the drama that had gone on tonight. She took me to the side while the guys all talked, a smile on her face as she whispered "Girl, you shoulda seen their reactions after you left! You look SO hot in that maid's outfit, seriously. No guy could keep their eyes off you! Why d'ya never show it off? I bet Alex likes what he sees...hang on, have you guys made up?" I looked at Kara, overwhelmed by everything that had happened in the last hour, and then at the guys, who were just...staring at me.

I sighed and shook my head, putting my hands on Kara's shoulders "Erhm...this is never happening again, and this outfit is getting burned/destroyed/whatever as soon as I take it off, and it's real uncomfortable." She sighed dramatically and nodded.

"FINE! But I get one picture first...okay two. One of just you, then one of you and Alex, okay?" I looked at her, knowing she wasn't kidding and I wouldn't win the argument, and then I looked at Alex and the guys, who seemed desperate to leave. "Okay, I'll do the picture thing, but you gotta ask Alex about the one you want of us both okay?" I sighed, just wanting to get this all over. Kara looked over at Alex, her face pleading with him to say yes while I stood there, goosebumps appearing on my skin from the cold March weather. Alex looked at her, then his eyes met mine, and a weak smile crossed my face and he mirrored it. "Sure."

After taking more pictures than what Kara had originally bargained for (she wanted me to do multiple poses both alone and with Alex, then decided she wanted some of her and me) we finally all got in our cars and drive home. I decided it probably wasn't the best idea to walk in my house dressed like a stripper, so I parked at the end of the street and was about to change into my usual clothes when Alex stopped his car behind mine, turned off his lights and got out. I watched in my rearview mirror as he approached my car, tapping on the passenger window and gestured for me to unlock the door so he could get in, and I reluctantly opened it.

Alex slipped in quietly as I nervously smoothed the creases out of my clothes, not giving him eye contact. "We need to talk about tonight..." He sighed, and I nodded, still not looking at him. Alex slipped his hand ontop of mine, squeezing it lightly so I could look up at him, and when I did I saw he was sorry for everything that had happened tonight before the words even escaped his mouth. "I'm really sorry about tonight Jen, I wish none of it had ever happened, and I swear I'll stay away from Maria as much as I can. You're the only person I love, and I wanna keep it that way. I'm not gunna be an idiot and say I'll love you forever, because I know that there's a chance I won't, but I promise to love you for a long time. Even with all this label stuff, I won't let it get in the way of us, because what we have keeps me going, and I can't really lose my muse..." I smiled at the last part, tears falling down my face as the butterflies started. "Oh Alex...I promise to love you for a very long time too." I gushed "And I'm sorry for just storming off like that...I just didn't wanna argue with you then." Alex nodded slowly, catching the tear that was running down my cheek with his thumb before gently cupping my face. I closed my eyes and rested my head in his palm, taking advantage of feeling his hand touch my face.
