Just One Of The Boys

Well This Is Awkward

I wash my hands in the kitchen as make my way up the stairs.

Seeing a few pictures of Alex and I as kids, I smile and open his bedroom door, not paying much attention. I open the door, running into something. Then continue to trip on my feet, gracefully falling as I trip a stunned Alex in the process.

We both fall, but his hands wrap around my back, so I don't hit the ground too hard. His hands quickly make it to the carpet beside my body on each side, so as he doesn't crush me.

"Whoops..." I say quietly.

Alex chuckles at me before his eyes go wide a bit. Realizing our close proximity, the air tenses up.

Alex's hot breathe tickling my face as the loose strands from my braid falling into my face.

Alex balances on one arm, them moves us so we are facing each other and he's not on top of me. He gently reaches up and wipes the loose strands away from my face.

Suddenly, I feel him moving closer.

But that's not the part my mind does a spasm at. That's when I realize I was moving closer as well.

Them I look down, realizing he wasn't even wearing a shirt.

Well this is awkward.

He has abs. When did that happen. I mean...woah.

Okay. Get yourself together Lizzie!

I look up and lock eyes with his blue ones. He doesn't break our gaze and my heart flutters. No not just flutters but full on party in there.

As my stomach does summersaults, he continues to look into my damn soul.

Can we just hold up a minute.

You're killing me.

You're just so beau-WAIT. Back the hell up. This is my best friend. The kid I used to take bubble baths with. Make mud pies. Push in the pool...

Does anyone want to tell me what the actual hell is happening here.

<><><><><><><><>

After the rather awkward encounter in Alex's bedroom...

Oh dear that makes it sound so much worse...

After the 'awkwardness' we drive over to my house.

Carter left a note saying she would be out all night and to not wait up.

The rest of the boys made it over with in an hour.

So by 6:30 we had the whole gang.

Party time!

"I VOTE BLACK OPS!" I shout running into the room and plopping down on Luke's lap.

They all laugh at me, and from the end of the couch I see Alex glaring.

What's wrong with him?

"I challenge Liz!" Kyle yells.

I smirk. He hasn't played against me before.

The boys start placing bets to see who will win.

This should be interesting.

()()()()()()()()()()

"YES! YES! YEAH BUDDY THAT IS HOW IT'S DONE! BOOM! BOW DOWN PEASANTS!" I scream dropping my x box controller and dancing around.

Kyle pouts looking at me in disbelief.

"Level 39, that's a new record for yeah, Lizzie." Alex says smirking.

"I'm just amazing . Discussion closed." I say smiling. Brandon begins to say something, but I quickly interrupt.

"You are irrelevant." I say in a posh accent.

" I'm off to find more chocolate!" I say doing a queens wave and dramatically leaving the room.

I hear shuffling, but ignore it and raid the pantry.

Food. Food. Food. Candy. Candy. Candy. Hmm....

Oh chocolate!

"JACKPOT!" I scream fist pumping as I balance the chocolate.

I turn around bumping into a late muscular figure and drop my babies

"Sorry..." I feel breathe against me. I look up and right in front of me, very close to my face is Alex.

My eyes dart to his lip.

Then back to his eyes.

But then back to his lips. His perfect- kissable lips...

Wait kissable? 

What is wrong with me?!

I must have hit my head.

Going crazy? Delusional?

Yeah probably.

I snap back into reality as I hear someone clear there throat.

I look up at Alex then to my right seeing Luke, leaning against the door frame.

Alex and I jump apart quickly and look around nervously.

He scratches the back if his neck, like he always does when he's nervous or doesn't know what to do...

Well

This

Is

Awkward.

Yet again.
