A new crush
Two weeks after…
Alexandra walk back to her dorm room where she stayed with one of her classmate and opens the door feeling low, she walks into the toilet to ease her bowel and return to lie down on her bed.
Luckily she applied to other law major schools or she would have been stuck at home
Studying for the next five years at Arts institute without Ethan and any of her close friends seems like a few more years than it is but she hasn't contact anyone of them since she left including Ethan
Alexandra has read his entire message but didn't reply any and as days pass by she lost the confident to contact him first, she closed her eyes to take a nap thinking maybe it will relieve the pain in her head when she heard a knock on the door.
Reluctant to stand up from the bed, Alexandra asked who it is but didn't get any respond and stood up to open the door assuming it's one of Loretta's many visitor, the door opens to reveal Ethan's face and Alexandra is stunned.
She stare at him shocked for almost a minute before hearing his voice asking her to let him in and make way for him, Ethan walk further into the room and asked which of the two beds belong to her, Alexandra quickly point to her side of the bed and hurried past him to arrange the space for him
Ethan is a little surprised to see her arrange her things because he is there and tells her to stop, Alexandra chuckles nervously and stood in front of him
"How did you get in?" she questioned him
"Is that the first thing you want to say to a friend you ghosted for a month?" he asked trying to sound angry but his words came out concerned, he just never gets angry when he is with her
Seeing her in a new different look in such a short time made him smile and he place his hands in his pockets before he let his emotions gets the better of him and he will hug her but Alexandra beats him to it and throws herself into his arms before he could avoid her
"Am sorry" she apologized under her breath but Ethan heard her clearly, he took his hands out and coop her in his arms taking in the scent of her new cologne
"I am so glad you are here" She said and Ethan reluctantly let go of her and smiles again then rub her hair playfully which makes Alexandra blush.
She pull him to sit on her bed not feeling the pain in her head anymore and quickly sits close to him putting her arms around him, Ethan wanted to object to her behavior but let it be and allow her to snuggle closer with her head on his shoulder.
"How are you feeling? Your dad said you are not doing well" he asked
"I guess am homesick and I miss you and everyone" she said truthful suddenly realizing that why she hasn't felt good in the last few days is because she hasn't spoken to him in a long time.
Ethan heaves slowly and not sure if she really missed him like she said, he hasn't been able to sleep comfortably every night and tried everything he could to see her at school.
"Why did you run off then without telling anyone?" he questioned
"I was angry with myself and maybe I was a little ashamed" she told him quickly not withholding any of her true feeling from him.
Alexandra doesn't know why but she just let out the truth in her whenever she is alone with him, she doesn't want everyone to think she has fallen down from the top now that her family is having a crisis and will rather not talk about it but still let it out when he asked.
"Why would you be ashamed to talk to me about anything? Do you know how worried and concerned I was?" Ethan said a little upset but the look on Alexandra's face made him stop his complains.
She looks like she is about to cry and pouts her mouth like a child, Ethan rolled his eyes knowing she is pulling one of her tricks which he always fall for and pat her hair lightly
"Okay, I wouldn't talk about that" he said and she smiles innocently but her action isn't helping Ethan's feelings at all.
He has seen her for a long while and he thought maybe when he sees her again, his growing feelings might have disappeared but staring at her adorable face makes his heart race.
"Did you sneak in?" Alexandra queried her breath falling on his face but oblivious to what her action is causing her best friend
"No, your dad told the matron I am your brother, here to check up on you so she let me in" he explained
"He told her you are my brother?" she repeats and laughs then bought her face closer to his staring deep into his eyes
Ethan move away but she continues to come closer until his back hits the wall and she stops, he wanted to tell her off but he is afraid he might accidentally kiss her. Alexandra held his face with her hands and turns his head sideways multiple times
"Am trying to see if we look alike for the matron to believe you are my brother" she said and Ethan pushes her away in disbelief.
She really doesn't think of him as a man and dares to come so close to him
They use to get so close before they turned fifteen, after their birthday he tried to put an end to such intimate contact but Alexandra doesn't mind it and even thinks its okay for them to share a bed after their sixteenth birthday.
"I was allowed in as your elder brother not twin brother" he informs her and she nods her head understandably
"Makes sense, you are taller and looks a lot older than I am" she said to annoy him but Ethan doesn't mind her words and inform her that he bought some of her favorite delicacy which he left in the car downstairs.
"We can get those later, I want to get some sleep first" she told him and lie down on his laps then close her eyes
"Use your pillow and lie down properly if you want to sleep" he told her and adjust her dress to cover her legs
"I prefer this pillow" she said and pat his leg then adjusts her head properly and hugs his waist to sleep.
Ethan sigh giving up and received a message from Antonio, he check it knowing he is curious to know if he is able to see Alexandra yet and replied him that he is with her.
"Good, so are you going to confess your feelings to her?" he sent
Ethan reads the message and ignores it then turns his phone off to avoid getting more questions from him, he had confide in Antonio about his feelings and he advised him to tell Alexandra but he is reluctant to do so
What if Alexandra really doesn't feel the same way and rejects his confession then their relationship will really be at stake.
Ethan stares at Alexandra sleeping face and is tempted to touch her, he place his hand on hers and watch for quite some time unable to take his eyes off her. Her long and beautiful brunette hair brush through her face and he move them away slowly carefully observing her facial
Ethan move away his hands as he heard a movement by the door and a tall girl comes in, she is surprised to see a guy in the room and more especially in such position, she stare strangely at him and offered a greeting
"Are you Alexandra's boyfriend?"Loretta asked still staring at him
She is Alexandra's roommate who majors in business management; they are placed in the same room only because Alexandra accepted the admission late
"He is my brother" Alexandra responds and opens her eyes.
Ethan is startled to see that Alexandra isn't asleep and worries that she might read meaning to what he did, he turned to look at her but her expression doesn't say anything so he decide to play along
"My older brother Ethan, Ethan this is Loretta my roommate" she introduced and notice the unease look on Ethan's face
"You didn't tell me you have such a hot brother" Loretta impression changed instantly
She move closer to them and stretch her hand forward to introduce herself to him flipping her hair backwards to make herself look more attractive
"It's nice to meet you" she said smiling from ear to ear and Ethan turns to Alexandra who keeps grinning
"He is my friend" she revealed satisfied to see witness the annoyed look on both of their faces
Britney felt it was weird how close she is with her brother but hearing that they are just friends seems weirder
"Liam is waiting outside to see you" Loretta informs remembering what she had planned to tell her before entering the room
Alexandra jump up from the bed and rush outside to see him
"Who is Liam?" Ethan queried seeing how fast she ran just to see him
"The guy pursuing her" Loretta replied nonchalantly
