The ride home was quiet, i didn't want to get any eye contact from Alex.
Seeing the way things looked, i never imagined I would ever be in the same car as He. Looking at the view of the streets and also giving him directions so we won't get lost.
I took a long glance at Alex, he looked mesmerizing as always but he didn't care, how does he sleep with his face looking this good.
"You should stop staring"he snapped, looking straight back to meet my eyes "We are here"he said removing his gaze from me and shifting it to the very familiar small duplex at the front of us.
He immediately packed in the drive way, not waiting for him to come open up for me, i opened my door and stepped out. He did the same.
He looked around for a while, trying to study the area before looking back at me and said "Cool".
"Whats cool?" i said more like a question.
"My car" He said leaning on it to wink at me and I just rolled my eyes "Your house is cool, of course".
To be honest, i know my house isn't cool, is small, uncomfortable and moreover is nothing compared to the one Alex lives in, so whats so cool here.
Maybe his just mocking.
Anyway am grateful for his generosity tonight, and he should know that.
"What are you thinking about"He asked this time moving to the front door so i can be able to follow.
What's he planning on doing, entering?
No way.
"Alex?"I called after him. He paused and looked back with the side of his head and smiling slightly at me "What are you doing?" I asked walking up to him.
"Waiting for you" He looked at the environment before adding "To invite me in" He smirked leaning down to my height before saying, "Am not asking".
With that he took my keys I had brought out earlier from my hold and turned around to open the door, I was speechless at this time not knowing what to do and how to react, I don't think anyone have ever done that before.
When he acheived his goal by opening the door, He immediately turned back raising the keys up so i could see them, grinning widely.
I walked in,not minding him at all, i mean why would he want to be around, I think I remembered last he said 'do i look like someone that want to have a conversation with you'. And now his at my home, doing god knows what.
I entered the kitchen not caring where he had gone to grabbing some black coffee I walked back to the sitting room to see my mom there, I didn't see her when I walked in.
And Alex sitting close to her but he didn't seem like he want to have a conversation with her, but still.
I moved a little closer just for my mom to notice my presence.
And she did and got on her fit immediately, walking to kitchen and coming out with an apple in her hands.
"Angela am happy your home" she said giving Alex a big glare that was clear and he didn't seem to care "I lost my job" she said sitting back down on the couch and changing the channel with the remote by the table corner.
What did she mean, she lost her job "Why are you so relaxed about it" I said cause it came as a shock and she said, not stressed."And how did you loose it, mostly why?" I added.
"Darling, I lost it 3days ago but didn't know how to address it to you" She glanced to where I was standing before removing her gaze.
I looked from her to Alex, He didn't look like someone listening to this discussion. For a while i forgot He was in the room, I shifted it back to Her and said "Mom we should talk about this in private" I walked to Alex and dragged him In the wrist just wanting to forget how I felt when touched it.
I walked him out so he could not see this drama my mom have brought up again.
"Am sorry, for having you see all that" I said looking back at him as we stopped by his car.
He doesn't look worried,He even feels excited about seeing it. Am sure he was here just to intimidate me even more.
Before he could reply I added "You should go".
He does not still answer, he was just staring at me, with his brown charming eyes, the wind worked in his favor today cause as our both eyes where locked together,the breeze blew his hair up for a while and that's when I realized, I realized he was captivating.
I shifed my gaze immediately, and I saw my mom at the doorway glaring at me.
Now what.
"Alex!" I snapped at him but he doesn't even move till I shaked him for awhile. He shakes and smiled immediately, to be sincere there is something really odd about Alex, today he hates me and the next his nice.
"Thank you for the ride home but its late now, you should get going" he doesn't still say anything, whats wrong with him.
He looked back at my house seeing my mom he smirked and looked back to me but he stopped immediately.
His face changed into a frown.
What a chameleon.
With that same frown he managed to ask me "What are you doing tomorrow?"
Why is he asking, I taught he wanted nothing to do with me, now he wants to know what am doing tomorrow. Thinking about that I have work and literature class. "Why do you want to know" i said with a grimace expression just for us to be even.
"We might never know, if you don't tell" He said this time with a slight smile.
I nodded in aggreement "I have Literature then I have to work" I said he smirked and walked straight to his car door.
Whatever.
Before I could walk back in, Alex shouted from behind to my hearing "You should get your car fixed, you won't get free rides everyday" he said looking at my car packed on the street and back at me before he drove off.
Animal!

"Angie, am so sorry i didn't drive you home last night"Isa pleads turning to my view so i could see her sad face.
Isa and Me where walking out of the school campus, for some odd reason i feel good today.
Yesterday was ghastly, when my mum told me she lost her job It was terrible, when Emma told me her sister was back, I felt I also need to be there for her and today I don't want to think about my problems. I don't want to recall I have school to look up to, my mom issues, my job, and mostly my bills to pay.
"Isa, Its no problem. Moreover Alex managed to take me home" I said, for a second my attention reached a blonde girl walking to our directions.
Isa was about commenting on my statement when I drag her attention to the girl walking towards us and I could also see as Isa's jaw dropped for while. Why is Mia blonde i thought she has red hair.
She looks really pretty.
"Mia, when did you get your hair get your hair done?"Isa asked and Mia is probably feeling her self.
Mia gaze at me ignoring Isa's question when she walked closer to ask "Where are you off to, so early?"
Why those she cares, why is she even asking.
I glanced at Isa and could see her still staring at Mia's blonde before I answered. "Am part-time" Yes! I decided to be, to have more time for my job. Not wanting to give her a reason to ask any other questions...
I stared at Isa as she checks her phone, maybe is her sister giving her trouble again. I glanced at Mia who still stares at me thinking of her next move, which I might not give her that pleasure.
I took a few steps away from her before she backed up with the least I expected "I heard Alex drove you home last night" I grimace immediately and turned to glare at her to my surprise I didn't see Isa, she was gone.
I walked a bit closer to her, how does she even know about that.
"Who told you that?" I said calmly.
"Rumors" she assured.
Knowing Mia was a friend of Charlotte's, I used my words slowly and I said."Like you said, rumors".
And she backed up with a moking grin and walked away.
What was that for and how did she even hear about that, I recall from last night that she was drunk.
Maybe Alex told his friends, I knew something wasn't right. He only drove me last night to mock or intimidate me..
Why am I not surprised.
