                                  Chapter Fourteen                                   

            ~~~~~ Alex – What is wrong with me  ~~~~~

     After the war, Kylie was covered in grapes. Her hair was sticky due to the few grapes I squished on her head when I finally caught her. Kylie was a fierce runner and managed to almost get away but I had the advantage of knowing the house so I knew where I wanted her. Even when she’s a mess Kylie still manages to be as beautiful as ever taking my breath away every time I look her way.

I was at loss for words when she danced with me. She moved her body in perfect sync to the music. Her voice sounded amazing as she sang along to the beat and pitch. I couldn’t help but wish that we could somehow be closer, and my wish came true when Kylie pulled our bodies together. Just when I thought that we would go to sleep and rest, a new slow song started playing. This time Kylie led, moving both our bodies in elegant moves. I did not object but instead let her maneuver our bodies to her like.

When Kylie dipped me I was again at loss for words. I looked into her amazing eyes trying to see if they could tell me what the hell this girl was doing to me. But all I saw was that intensity that always gets to me when I look into those eyes of hers.

“What, no one has ever swept you off your feet before?” Kylie asked looking down at me. I shook my head no. No one has ever swept me off my feet – until now.

“Well then let’s change that shall we?” Did she just say that or am i imagining all this? Kylie picked me up and spun me around. I am confused as hell. What is this chick doing to me?

‘Alright Alex just shut the hell up and enjoy the moment will you?’ ma’am yes ma’am.

As the song came to an end, Kylie once again spun me around and brought me to her only to finish up with one last dip.

“You Miss Balthazar are one crazy chick.” I say out of breath. She still had me in the dip position but it was exactly where I wanted to be.

She shook her head and chuckled at my comment. Her chuckle is even sexier than her laugh. 

“We’ll miss Santiago; it was my pleasure dancing with you.” She says lifting our bodies. She then pretends to take a hat off and bow like a perfect gentleman.

Having a moment of courage I grabbed her hand and bowed, kissing it in the process. “The pleasure was all mine Miss Balthazar.” I watched as she blushed and tried so hard not to smile.

Moments later we were upstairs getting ready to go to bed. Kylie had her stuff and was looking everywhere amazed once again as she walked the halls next to me.

“This is it.” Rachel announced as we got the room assigned to Kylie. I smiled as I realized it was the room next to mine.

“Rachael I-” Kylie tried one last time to reason with her. Rachael of course cut her off and did not allow her to continue.

“You are staying here and that is final.” She said glaring at Kylie. She opened the door and turned back to Kylie. 

“See you in the morning.” Rachael said smiling as she was walking away. She gave me a quick hug before heading out the door back to her husband who was sure to be waiting for her.

“Don’t worry, she’s harmless.” I assure her. Kylie smiles and walks inside the room.

“You have got to be kidding me.” I walked in and saw her looking around with wide eyes.

The room is big. A queen bed lay on the far corner with matching dressers and night stands. ‘What is with Rachael and Queen sized beds?’ The walls are a light baby blue. The room is not carpeted but instead has an elegant white patterned tiled floor. The fan is running creating a small wind surrounding the room.

“you can fit half my house in this one room!.”Kylie exclaimed spreading her hands and spinning. 

“You can fit all the houses I’ve lived in this place and still have enough room to play baseball.” She turns around and looks at me with sad eyes. She studies me as if she’s trying to figure me out.  

“You’ve moved a lot huh?” she asks.

“Umm yeah. When my parents died I was sent with my uncle in Florida. Then to a family in New York who knew my parents. After them came a whole bunch of people that had to take responsibility of me.” I don’t want to talk about this with her. Today was amazing, I don’t want to mess it up. “Do you need help getting settled?”

She nodded her head and went to lay her things on the bed. I followed behind her admiring the way she moved her body.

‘Dude stop staring at her ass.’ I can’t. Its so perfect and-

“Alex are you okay?” her voice snapped me out of it. I brought my eyes off her butt and looked at her in the eyes. “Yeah.” I tell her looking away. The move was no help, her eyes were even more mesmerizing then her…

“Well, are you going to help me or not?” She asked getting her stuff out the gym bag.

Moving slowly while trying to compose myself was useless; she still managed to stun me when she turned around and smiled at me.

I walked faster and helped her get her things out. She then left to get some hangers out of the closet for her clothes.

I laid out her dresses neatly trying not to wrinkle them. When done I look into her bag to see if we had taken everything out. I grabbed some papers and took them out carefully trying not to wrinkle or tear them.

“Wow.” I breathe. She drew me. Kylie drew me.

‘She is good. Too bad you mess up the the picture.’ ugh shut up before I do something to you.

I lay the papers down and search her bag again. There were only socks and panties left… Wait panties? 

‘Don’t you dare!’

Not listening, I grabbed one out and held it in front of me. A million thoughts went through my head as I stare at the lacy red underwear that has touched Kylie’s-

“What are you doing?” Kylie asked raising her eyebrow.

                              Oh. My. Dear. Sweet. Jesus.

“Nothing!” I quickly ball up the panties and put them behind my back. I try so hard to look normal and innocent but I think my red face gave me away.

“Were you just… Are those my…” She tried to put the pieces together and a huge grin crossed her face as she figured it out.

“I was not. I was just… Folding them.” oh god that was lame.

‘you think?! I told you not to do it! But do you listen? No!’ I’m so sorry.

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” I tell her as I run out the room. I quickly make it to my room and close the door tightly behind me.

“God I’m suck an idiot!” I say out loud banging my head on the door. I run a hand through my hair trying to calm down. Why did I do that?

To my further embarrassment I still have Kylie’s underwear in my hand. God I cannot believe myself! I quickly throw the dang thing to the other side of the room.

If they were here I’m pretty sure they would have something to say to me. Mom would laugh until she was on the verge of crying. Dad would try so hard not to laugh while trying to control mother.

The sky is full of stars again as I stare out the window. They’re right beside the moon where they always are, looking over me. A huge smile crosses my face as they twinkle brighter than ever.

“What? this is funny to you guys. My life is humorous to you? Some parents you are.”

“I’m falling for a girl.” it was the first time I’ve said it out loud, and it felt great. The words had great strength yet they were spoken in a soft whisper.

They would understand. They always understood me. Mom always knew what to say and do in these situations. She would sit by my side and listen to everything I had to say. Dad would just run the other direction and bring us snacks.

“Please help me understand this. I don’t understand why I’m so attracted to this girl. Everything about her is forbidden.” I get up and pace the room trying to Think this over.

“She’s a girl, she has a boyfriend, she’s a fricking cheerleader for crying out loud! She’s always smiling and cheery. I’m falling for a cheerleader.” Pacing won’t seem to help me think today. Questions still go through my head. All the unanswered questions are driving me insane. 

“Es que no puedo dejar de pensar en ella. Cuando no estoy con ella siento como que si me falta una parte de mi. Ella hace que mi corazon palpite rapidamente solo con verle a los ojos.” ( It’s just that I can’t stop thinking about her. When I am not with her I feel like a part of me is missing. She makes my heart stop by simply looking my way.)

‘stop or you’ll go crazy.’ I’m talking to myself in Spanish, I’m already crazy.

Maybe if I stop seeing her, then I’ll stop myself from feeling all these things I feel when I see her or hear her voice. ‘Dumbass she’s in the next room living under the same roof as you. How can you not see her?’ you are so not helping right now.

The pacing, questions, fighting, it all went on for a good half an hour. Finally deciding not to think anymore, I put on some comfortable pajama pants and a cotton shirt. The bed was inviting as I lay there letting sleep overcome me. It came within minutes taking me into a peaceful dreamless sleep.

~~~~~

The constant beeping of the alarm woke me up. I groaned in annoyance as I rolled to my side to turn the dang thing off. Alarms are not my favorite thing to wake up to every morning. Not wasting more time, I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I desperately need a cold shower to wake up and set my mind straight. Last night’s events still play over and over in my head as I go to the closet for a towel.

I walked slowly rubbing my eyes trying to fully wake up. Once in the bathroom I started to take off my shirt and take my pants off so I could take a shower and start the day.

“Ahhh!!!!” Someone screamed behind me.

I screamed with them as I tried to cover myself with the shirt. I looked at the naked person with wide eyes.

                                        Holly. Mother. Of. God.

Kylie was in the shower trying to cover her body with the sponge and her hands. I quickly ran away shutting the door behind me.

‘You have got to be kidding me. We share the same bathroom?!’

She was there, naked, right before my eyes. ‘well at least now you don’t have to imagine what she looks like naked, cause you already know.’ what a sight that was.

Minutes later I hear the bathroom door close. Kylie must be done with her shower. I quickly grab a robe and a towel and enter the bathroom to take an ice cold shower.

The water makes my teeth chatter but its still somehow not enough to take my mind off her body. Her hair as it was dripping. The water going down her body traveling from her head to her toes disappearing as it goes down the drain. Her hand desperately trying to cover the parts I wish I could have seen before she hid them.

‘Alex come on! Stop it. Get a grip. First the panties now this. Get a fucking grip before something else happens.’

~~~~

Hoped you like it cuz I wrote this in Chemistry just now. Don’t worry we had a sub and watched a boring movie.

Please bear with me Kylie and Alex will kiss…. eventually. Just give it some time.

Oh and thanks for the support you guys! Love you!

Should I continue?
