Passing the roads the trees, my hand had been sow due to the way my hands had been kept on the wheel. It was getting dark and I felt I might had missed my way.
It's difficult to remember the exact road knowing I didn't drive the last time.
Figuring out what to do. The drive was normal as I reached my destination. I made sure not to make a sound so I parked the car a few minutes away.
Using foot I passed trees and swingles leaves away from my face gently.
The cabin was now clear to me.
I didn't try to knock, I just walked in. When walking in I didn't see the sight of Alex, but I could see a glass that was still freshly drank on at the bar stand.
The place was left in a mess. I stumbled a few times but held my self from falling. Making sure this mess wouldn't hurt somebody else I picked up all the stuffs that where laying on the floor, keeping them back where it was meant to be...I guess.
After arranging this place, there where still no sight of Alex.
Maybe he wasn't here.
I decided to check at the back, it's possible he might be there, seeing the glass that was freshly dranked off.
I moved to the backyard, it was more like a garden. I bit my lips at the place. I walked around knowing it was big. Didn't still see Alex but something got my attention.
I don't yet know what it was but I could tell if my legs get a little bit close I would. The tress where still on my way but moved anyway. My legs weren't beer footed but I could feel the mud sticking through me. Reaching a bit close it was clear to me now.
I walked forward, I figured a lake was behind the cabin not just a lake but Alex too.
He had his legs into the water and his hair where roughly placed. His hands where a company to his laps as he held them still. I decided to move forward when I did, I sat inches away from him.
I wasn't that close but I could tell he noticed my presence.
I didn't utter a word, he didn't too. The sound of the waters had filled my ears. I peered to Alex and the only thing I could see was that he was hurt. I have never seen him in this state before.
What happened to him.
"I-" I tried to speak
He cut me off. "I thought you where avoiding me?" He said. My eyes where still on him.
No I wasn't.
Why would he think that.
"Why?" I asked.
The silence was kept again, my hands fell sideways as I removed my shoes and threw my legs into the water.
It felt so good.
He finally said. "What are you doing here, Gela?"
My gape went to him again. "Don't you ever change questions?" I asked.
For the first time he raised his gape to me. His face was rubbed in confusion but his face was also shown that he had been teary.
Nah....he wouldn't.
"Moreover what are you doing here?" I asked. This place might be his cabin but I didn't think he would hang out here at night. Alone.
It's scary.
He wanted to speak but I said. "Oh... yeah, is your secret hide out" I said but mockingly. His eyes where still on me which made me nervous.
He smirked when he said. "It's our secret hide out."
I looked at him for a while. I didn't know how to reply to that. Charlotte had told me how she knew this place, yeah he probably told every girl that statement.
"Charlotte don't know about this place" he said bluntly.
Confusion was plastered on my face. "Alex isn't just an asshole but he read minds now!" I said slightly but a little high.
He chuckled when he said. "I don't read minds Gela, but It would be interesting reading your mind" he smiled and looked at me.
I rolled my eyes, playfully. His good with words.
"So how did you know?" I asked a little curious to know.
His eyes traced the waters when he said. "Luke told me about the text."
What text.
The confusion was still on my face when he added. "The one Charlotte sent to you" he clarified.
Oh...great I almost forgot. If Charlotte don't know about this place how did she know.
"They all know I have a cabin but don't know exactly where it is." He said and stood up.
My eyes traced his torso. I could have asked what he was doing if he didn't immediately jump into the water, when he jumped the waters had splashed on me and I was halfly wet.
I flinched and stood up. When he had wiped away the waters from his face he said. "I saw a fish" he chuckled.
I laughed.
"Of course you did" I said.
He swimmed back and forth when he said. "The fishes are big they would need double hands" he said.
I just looked at him.
"Nice one Alex, I am not going down there" I said.
He smiled still and said. "Don't know how to swim?" He asked.
Yeah I don't but won't be telling him that. He have always found a way to tease me about things I don't know. So not now.
"I do." I said feeling a little bit of confidence in me.
His gaze on me made me know he didn't believe my words but he was still smiling. Unusual.
"Gela, do you know anytime you lie you become more pretty?" He said.
Does he know anytime he calls me Gela, butterflies whirled In my stomach. Moreover he called me pretty.
You shouldn't forget his good with words.
So I asked."I would be down in one condition" I said and leaned down a little.
He kept a curious face then said. "In what condition" he swimmed closer to me.
This place was really dark, I could only see due to the moon that had the reflection on us.
"You would answer two of my questions.... sincerely?" I replied.
He stopped smiling or he had been contemplating on what to say. He didn't answer for a few seconds till he finally nodded.
I peered at him in confusion. "I didn't hear you?" I said.
He nodded and said. "Yes."
"Whattt? didn't hear you correctly?"I chuckled.
He smiled now, he didn't want to answer till I leaned backwards then he said. "Okay...yes I would answer to your questions" he said.
I looked at him, he now added. "Sincerely."
I smirked. Is it unusual that Alex actually is saying longer words today.
"I hope the fishes haven't yet escaped" I said and jumped into the waters.
I forgot to pull.
He noticed and laughed, I wiped the waters away from my face roughly.
When I couldn't relax, he held me still with his hands on my waistline. My heart skipped to his touch.
It made me remember when I tried to seduce him.
"I told you I could swim" I said and he giggled.
"I can see that" he said, yeah he could totally see how my body couldn't balance on the waters and how he had held me still so I wouldn't drown.
I gulped.
"First question" I said realizing myself.
He smiled and said. "Okay..."
I just looked at him and said. "It's really clear you gave my mom a job even if you deny it, but what made you do it?" I asked.
He kept quiet till he finally said. "Next question?"
I nodded a no. His meant to answer one at a time.
I kept still, waiting for his answer admiring his features. I had always wanted to hear it but knowing Alex he wouldn't tell me without a condition like this.
He slowly said. "Remember..when..you..told...me.. your..mom..was..a worrywart.. because she didn't have a job" he said.
Yes I remembered. It was when we where at the club and I found him listening to music when the auburn told me where to find him. I didn't know he was listening to me then.
His hands on my waistline became soft and his eyes where on me.
This is awkward.
I know we have been in a situation like this before, when we kissed but this particular one, now is really awkward. He just Indirectly told me he cares even if he didn't say it out loud.
"Next question."
