Liv's POV
I could feel Alex's lips against my forehead but i was too sleepy and weak to even open my eyes or say anything. I heard retracted footsteps and then the door shut. I finally managed to open my eyes and glanced at my alarm clock beside me. I stretched my hand forward to grab it and set it.
I closed my eyes trying to fall back to sleep but i just couldn't,all trails of sleep seemed to be lost already.
I got up from the bed and made my way to the closet. I pulled off my clothes and went into the bathroom. Maybe a cool shower will help.
As the cold water poured down on my body, I could only imagine Alex. What could he be doing right now?Is he asleep?
I scrubbed down on my body gently and rinsed it off. I grabbed a towel from my towel rack and dried off mu wet body as i made my way back to the room, putting on the same clothes as earlier on.
I blow-dried my hair and combed it to look presentable enough.
Since when did i start caring how i look?
'Since you started falling for the sexy boy next room'
I ignored my stupid mind and applied a little bit of lotion to my dried legs and then made my way to Alex's room.
I knocked gently on the door but there was no response. I was about turning back to leave when the door pulled open, revealing a shirtless Alex in only black shorts.
Could this boy look any less sexier?My eyes raked his flawless body as i bit down my lips. I was short of words.
"Thought you were asleep?"He raised his eyebrows slightly at me, taking in my appearance.
"Yeah...um...i couldn't fall asleep....um....can...can i perhaps sleep with you?"I asked nervously.
"You know my dick would always welcome your warm ass"He teased.
"I didn't mean it like that dumbo...i mean...can i...spend the...night in your room"I said shyly. Why am i shy?
"Of course,come on in"He smirked as he stepped aside, paving entrance for me as i followed him into his bedroom. He locked the door behind.
In as much as i supposed to be scared or self conscious to be spending my night with a boy in his room. I wasn't. I felt safe around Alex for some weird reason. I know he'd never do anything to me without my consent.
"Um...you can...lie down"He said as he made his way to the chair in front of a table with books in his hands as he sat down. I stared at him in surprise as i saw him.... studying?
Alexander Williams studying?
No way!
Alex never studies.
At times i wonder how he makes it to high rank in class when he doesn't even pay attention in class. He doesn't even give two shits about school.
"You study?"I couldn't help my curiosity.
"No"He said without looking at me.
"You're lying aren't you?"I asked as i drew nearer to you.
"What if i am,who cares, it's not your business"He flared. Why is he getting angry for such a trivial matter.
"Wow...this will make headlines...bad boy Alexander Williams studying"I laughed.
"This isn't funny Liv"He said quietly.
Is he embarrassed?
"What's the big deal in you studying? it's a good thing...i must say I'm...."
"Shocked"He completed.
"Yeah and amused...who would have thought that you study"I laughed.
"Those good grades don't make themselves now do they?"He said humorously.
"I thought you cheat or something"I said.
"No fucking way,i can't handle my dad getting me kicked out of the school,you know he's one of the school's sponsors,that will tarnish his reputation"He said.
"I'm quite amused"I said honestly.
"Why?"He asked.
"Because it's... weird...you always have this bad boy aura so who would think that you study,how do you even have time to study when you're always around girls or partying"I asked curiously.
"I study at night, whenever i don't have any girls coming over or any parties"He told me.
"But you don't even attend class much"I said as i scanned his books.
"Yeah...it doesn't matter whether i attend class or not, I don't fail and that's the important thing"He said and diverted his attention back to his book.
"Wow... I'm amused"I told him truthfully.
"You aren't supposed to even see me studying"He said.
"And why's that?"I asked.
"It makes me look like a nerd,i don't like people seeing me study"He said.
"I thought bad boys don't study"I said.
"They don't"
"Then why are you studying when your a bad ass arrogant...."
"You ask so many questions damn it!"He closed the book he was holding and put it away beside him.
"I'm just quite surprised"I told him.
"You should be and you aren't supposed to know this"
"Why?"I asked.
"Because...i hate it"
"Then why did you let me in?"I asked.
"I don't know...i just... I don't know"He seemed frustrated.
"Well it's good to know that you study,at least there's one good thing about you"I teased.
"This stays between thr both of us..got it!"
"Is that a threat?"I rolled my eyes.
"Call it whatever you want...i must not hear about this from anyone,not even those shitty friends of yours"He warned.
"My friends aren't shitty and you are not the boss of me, I'll do whatever i like" I told him.
"Really?"He stood up and made his way to me as i took retracting steps backwards.
"W...what are you trying to do?"I stuttered as my leg collided with the wall, sending me straight on the bed as he inched closer.
"Alex... don't... don't come any closer.. I'm warning you....or else..."
"Or else what?"He asked as he drew closer to me,he hovered on top on me with his face few inches from mine. His breath fanned my face as he spoke.
"W...what are you doing?"I stammered.
"This will stay between us...got it?"He said. I couldn't tell whether he was joking or not but i nodded and he came off me, smirking.
Asshole.
I immediately got up from the bed and sat up on the bed with his back facing me.
"Alex"I called.
"Yeah?"Was his cold response as he took a glass of water from his table.
"I...."
"You what?"He asked.
Alex's POV
"I want to ask you something"She seemed nervous.
"Okay?"I dropped the glass cup i was holding gently on the table as i made my way to her. I sat down few inches away from her as i took in her confused expression.
"What's that?"I asked again.
"Um...you... nevermind"She said. O could see the nervousness on her face so i decided not to push her. If it is something important then i bet she'll tell me when the time is right.
"Okay"I said quietly. To hell with Blake's plan, I can't make this girl like me in the way i want. Maybe we will always just be friends.
I stood up from the bed and made my way to my closet pulling out a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. I slipped into the jeans and zipped it up properly before putting on the t-shirt.
"Are you going somewhere?"Her voice came quietly.
"Yeah.. I'm going to a party"I told her as i slipped into a pair of black sneakers.
"You should get some sleep"I told her as i combed my messy hair.
"Can i... come with you?"She said out of the blues.
"What?"I think i heard her wrong.
"Can i come along?"She asked again.
"Um... I don't think that's a good idea" I thought she hates parties.
"Please..you can't leave me here all alone"She said.
I'd never have been able to leave her alone since she's my responsibility but i was already planning on going to the party when she was asleep,we have enough tight security in the neighborhood so i didn't have anything to worry about and i don't wanna be around her for the moment, I'm going crazy with these feelings bubbling inside me. I need some alcohol to collect my thoughts.
"No Liv...you need to rest"I told her calmly as i grabbed my phone and car keys from the table.
"Please Alex... I can't sleep"She begged and i couldn't resist the pouty eyes she was giving me. Women know damn well how to make a man surrender.
"Fine"I sighed.
"I'll get changed"She said and left the room immediately.
Liv's POV
I don't even know what came over me. I hate going to parties but for some weird reason i don't wanna be away from Alex. I want to be with him anywhere he goes. I know I'm being insane right now but i couldn't care less. I need some fresh air.
I scanned through my closet and pulled out a shein leather look crop cami top with a high waist denim blue jean ripped bum-short. I quickly pulled off my clothes and slipped into the pair. I stood in front of my dressing mirror and couldn't help but giggle as i imagined Alex's expression when he sees me. Why in the name of hell am i thinking about what Alex thinks? I flushed immediately as i slipped into a black open cover fancy slippers with a large light peach colored bow on it. I combed my hair and let it fall loosely on my back and applied a little makeup of mascara,eye liner and powder.
When i was satisfied with my looks,i grabbed a black handbag with my phone and immediately left the room as i made my way downstairs.
Alex was seated on the couch as i approached him. His eyes darted to my direction as he took in my appearance.
"Holy shit!what are you wearing?"He gasped as he stood up immediately and i couldn't help but giggle at the way he was staring at me.
"What?you don't like it?"I giggled.
"I...Yea...i...no...you can't wear that"He stuttered.
"Why not?"I raised my brows.
"Because... it's... it's too... revealing and boys will be... staring"He was short of words.
"Why?do you have any problem with boys staring at me?"I asked.
"No...yeah...i mean...it will be... awkward you know... they'll be..."
"You know i can handle a few boys,come on let's go,no one would do anything and i think i like what I'm putting on"I smirked and he nodded wordlessly as he followed me outside.
The streets were dark already. The only source of light were the dim street lights and the moon. We headed towards Alex car which was parked in the driveway and he pulled the door of the passengers seat open for me.
"How gentlemanly"I teased as i stepped into the car. He rolled his eyes and shut the door for me as he made his way around the car to the driver's seat.
Once he got into the car,he immediately turned on the engine and pulled out of the drive way and into the streets.
The street was scanty,the only few people on the road were drunks who were either on their way home, security men at the security post and a few stores were still open.
In less than ten minutes we pulled up in front of a white mansion.
"Who's house is this?"I asked as Alex parked thr car in the free space at the parking lot.
"Justin's"He said.
"Wow...i never knew Justin was this...rich"I said.
"I wouldn't hang out with poor people now would i?"He rolled his eyes.
He's still a jerk after all.
"And what's wrong with poor people?" I asked as i stepped out of the car,along with Alex.
"Everything"He told me.
"Like?"
"They are shitty,assholes,filthy and all"
Ouch.
"I think you just gave a full description of yourself"I told him.
"Puhleez...we all know I'm the best and I'm in no way compared to them"He bragged.
Yup,still an asshole.
"And what makes you think that you're better than poor people just because you're rich, they're humans too and it's not their fault that they are rich"I told him.
"No.. it's totally their fault,they are lazy asses who don't work hard enough to make cash,they always think lowly that's why they are like that"I was getting pissed.
"And who gave you the right to talk about them like that?just because you're rich doesn't mean you should go about talking shit about people. I think they work as hard as we do, they're are just quite unfortunate not to have the same luck. They aren't lazy asses, they work tremendously to fend for themselves and let me tell you one thing..poor people are the happiest,they live freely unlike us who live in the fair of being kidnapped or attacked by robbers,we put up so many securities just to stay safe while they wander around in the streets freely. They live in small homes while we live in big houses. Houses, that's just where we live. We don't have homes. Many of we rich people live in houses but we aren't happy,you see divided families mostly in rich people houses. We hear of thousands of divorce cases daily and most of them are from rich people who don't even know the true meaning of family. We live lavish and luxurious lives whereas they live under small incomes but they still manage to smile"I was beyond angry already.
"Okay bla bla bla, poor people are the best... happy?"He teased and i let out a slight chuckle.
"That was some speech"I laughed.
It's weird how easily i can switch moods from anger to laughter.
"Sure was,for a moment i thought you were Albert Einstein or Bill gates"He joked as we made our way towards the entrance.
"You wish"I laughed as he pulled the door open. There was loud music blaring out from the house. We walked in to the crowded hall which was already crowded with drunks. The place was dimly lit as we made our way inside, pushing through the large crowd od wasted teenagers.
Alex gripped my wrist a little too tightly as we made our way further down the hall towards the bar side. He took me to a couch and sat me down.
"Wait here, I'll get drinks, don't move an inch"He said and left.
He's not the boss of me, I'll do as i please. I immediately stood up and search the crowd as i made my way to God knows where.
"Liv?"A familiar voice called from the crowd and i turned around to see Blake and Zoey?
"Hey"I smiled.
"What are you doing here girl?"Zoey asked as she took a shot from her bottle of beer.
"I should be asking you that seeing that you came to a party without inviting me"I rolled my eyes.
"I thought you hated parties so i didn't think ot was necessary to"She told me.
"Yeah i still do"I confirmed.
"What are you even doing here?"She asked.
"I came with Alex"I told her.
"Oh...girl you look hot"She finally took in my appearance.
"Thanks"I simply smiled.
"Where's Alex by the way?"Blake asked as he pecked his girlfriend.
"He's...."
"Here...i thought i told you not to go anywhere"Alex said as he stood beside me.
"You're not the boss of me and you don't get to tell me what to do"I said assertively.
"Oh really?"He dared me.
"Yeah"I told him and he shot me a nasty glare.
"Hey man"Blake greeted his friend and Alex handed me a bottle of beer as they spoke to each other.
"I'll tell you"Blake said as he gripped Alex, pulling him away.
"Where are you guys going to?"I asked.
"Somewhere, we'll be back shortly"Blake answered as they walked away.
"Boys" Zoey commented. I could tell that she's drunk already.
"Yeah..boys"I laughed as i took a gulp from my beer.
"Come on girl, let's dance"Zoey said.
"No...i don't feel like it"I told her.
"Oh come on,this is a party, let's just dance"She said.
"Nah i don't want to, let's just sit and talk"I pulled her with me towards the couch, ignoring her comments.
"What of Jane,i haven't been seeing her lately"I asked.
"She's been stuck with her family lately"She told me.
"Oh"
"So what about you and Alex,are you guys dating now?"She smirked.
"No!why would you even think that?"I rolled my eyes.
"You guys have been getting along lately so i thought..."
"Well, discard that thought cause it's so not happening"I told her.
Alex's POV
"No man, I couldn't do it, although we've been getting along but she doesn't seem to like me that way, maybe we'll just be friends only"I arched my brows.
"She likes you...trust me...she just hasn't realized it"He said.
"What makes you think that?"I asked.
"I know it for sure, you're all she talks about"He said.
"And how do you know that?"I asked.
"Have you forgotten my girlfriend is her best friend?"He smirked.
"Zoey told you that?" I asked.
"Yeah.. sort of"He answered.
"Did she say she likes me?"I asked curiously.
"No,she denies it but her behavior proves that she does"He said.
"You know how crazy Liv is, what if you're mistaken,what if she doesn't like me and i end up making a fool of myself again"I was frustrated.
"I think she likes you"He said.
"You aren't certain, I can't handle another rejection trust me, maybe i should just continue with my player ways,i can't even be loyal to her,i can stick to just one girl"I told him.
"You've been doing that haven't you?if you love her as much as you do,then you'll be loyal to her and i know she'll see the changes in you"He said.
"It's not that easy man,she still thinks i slept with Avery the other day"I ruffled my hair.
"That's because you made her believe that,just tell her you didn't and that clears it"He said.
"You think it's fucking easy? she'll never even believe me or trust me,she knows I'm a player"
"Then show her that you've changed"He said.
"I don't know...."
"Hey guys"Justin's husky voice called as he approached us with Chloe beside him.
This couldn't get any worse now can it. Why the hell is she here.
"Hey sweetheart"She smiled as she approached me. Damn it!
Liv's POV
It's been thirty minutes and there's still no sign of Alex and Blake. What could they possibly be discussing?
"So what college do you plan on attending?"Zoey asked.
"Um... I don't know yet"I said as my eyes scanned the room in search of Alex.
"What do you mean by you don't know?"She scowled.
"I don't know, that's up to my parents,i think i might go to havard"I said.
"You're letting your parents decide for you?"She rolled her eyes.
"Not really, I'm just clueless"I told her and i saw Blake approaching us.
"Hey girls"He had his ever charming smile on his face as he sat down on the couch. He took Zoey on his lap immediately and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"Hey Blake, where's Alex?"I asked.
"I thought he's supposed to be here,i left him few minutes ago" He told me.
"Then where could...."
"Hey guys"I saw Alex approaching us.
"Where were you?"I asked.
"I was just handling some bitch"He told me and i felt a little bit jealous knowing that he was referring to one of his concubines.
Wait did i just admit that I'm jealous?
No way,i can't be jealous,it must be the alcohol speaking.
"Let's play a game"Zoey said out of the blue.
"I don't think so,it will be boring, it's just the four of us"I said.
"Here comes Justin and Avery"Blake said and our eyes turned to see the blonde bitch approaching with Justin.
"Now there's six of us"Zoey giggled.
