Chapter 8

That night was the best night's sleep I had ever gotten. I hadn't expected to just slip into sleep as easily I did, but I didn't wake until the morning. Even just waking up, I could feel the tightness in my rear. I was definitely sore, and I definitely wouldn't be moving very fast today. But, I stood up and slowly moved off the bed, trying my hardest not to wake my sleeping beauty. I moved from the bed and went into the bathroom, moving slowly and trying not to let the pain show on my face. I needed to master this before Alex woke up. I couldn't let him see how much pain I was in. He'd think he was too rough and then he'd never forgive himself, and then we'd never have sex again. And my god, I could not handle that.

I carefully stepped up to the toilet and quickly peed and then washed my hands and made my way back to the bed. I wanted to curl back up in those wonderful arms of his. I slipped into bed carefully and snuggled up to Alex, facing him. Even his morning breath smelled sweet as I laid there and watched him. He must've felt my stare because he slowly woke up. As soon as his eyes opened enough to see me, he smiled. God, that smile drove me nuts. It was so perfect and white and just, yum. See, in the morning, Alex had this thing about him. His hair was a mess and his eyes were only half open, but he still looked heavenly. I was shocked that a man like this could look this good in the morning. Nobody looks this good in the morning, but somehow he managed to. His hand came up to clasp mine and I smiled as he broke me out of my thoughts.

"Morning," his husky voice filled my ears.

"Morning baby," my voice had had time to clear up.

"How do you feel?" his hand let go of mine and slid down my back to my ass, where it gently rested. I could feel his thumb moving back and forth slowly over my bare skin.

"Sore, but I'm alright," I leaned forward and kissed him softly, hoping that my morning breath didn't offend him. Apparently it didn't because his lips pressed back against mine.

"You're sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, baby. I got up and went to the bathroom and I'm fine. It's a little sore to walk and sitting isn't the easiest thing, but I'm okay," I leaned in and kissed him again. "I love you."

"If you're sure," his forehead came to rest against mine. "I love you too, my beautiful baby."

I could feel the heat cover my face as I blushed a bright red. I slid down the bed a bit and moved closer to Alex. I pushed my face into his chest and wrapped my arms around his middle, I didn't want to let go. I smiled when I felt his arms come up and wrap around me, he squeezed me twice and elicited a small giggle from me. His hands slowly moved up and down my back and I closed my eyes. I loved moments like these. Where nothing else mattered in the world except for the man that I was with and his love for me and my love for him. We both laughed quietly when my stomach started making gurgling noises.

"Apparently I'm hungry," I kissed Alex's chest gently and moved from his arms slowly. I stood from the bed and gingerly walked to his closet where I grabbed a pair of boxers. I slid them over my legs and then came out to him. "Let's eat?"

Alex just sat there and stared at me as I stood in front of him, with my hands on my hips.

"Whatttttttttttttt?" I whined.

"You're so fucking perfect," Alex stood from the bed and moved towards me. He took both my hands in his and kissed my chin gently. "Now, what are you making me for breakfast."

"Me?! I thought you'd cook," I batted my eyelashes at him and giggled.

"Are you sure you want burnt toast and undercooked bacon?"

"Alright, alright, I'll cook. What do you want for breakfast?" I kissed his cheek gently and moved closer to him. I didn't want to be far from him. I wanted to be as close as I possibly could. I wanted to be sandwiched against him. I didn't want to stop touching him.

"Mmh, how about...bacon and eggs and pancakes? I'll help you; I just...won't cook anything I can ruin easily."

"How about you get stuck to bacon duty? I'll make the eggs and pancakes?" I buried my face into my man's neck and breathed in his scent. At this point of the day, what I was smelling was entirely Alex.

"Baby, let's go," I felt Alex's hands at my sides and braced myself for the tickles that I knew were coming. He knew how ticklish my sides were and he used that against me every opportunity that he had. The second his fingers started tickling my sides, I tensed up and started laughing.

"OKAY OKAY! UNCLE!" I almost screamed. Instantly, Alex's hands dropped from my sides. I turned around and started walking to the kitchen. I was a little bit wary of the stairs but I took them slowly, moving my body gingerly.

Once we were in the kitchen, we quickly gathered all the ingredients and I whipped up a pancake batter and got the bacon frying in the pan. I started pouring some of the batter into a pan on the stove and started singing quietly to myself. I hadn't sung much around Alex, ever. I was quite embarrassed about my singing. I could sing, pretty well, but I was embarrassed when people heard me. But, today, I just couldn't help myself. I had to sing. I couldn't stop the words from coming out and I had started to dance until my ass decided that that was a bad idea. I was cooking the pancakes and putting them onto a sheet and keeping them warm in the oven. I did the same with the bacon until almost all of it was ready and then I started making the eggs. I made us each 2 scrambled eggs because it was easiest then I got plates out and dished up all the food. Alex had promised to help but instead, he just sat back and watched me do it all.

Alex went and grabbed two glasses and then filled one with apple juice and one with orange. It made me smile that he remembered my allergy. He was so considerate. I took the plates to the small table he had set up in his breakfast nook. I put them so that we would sit beside each other then I went back and grabbed cutlery. I hadn't noticed that Alex was still naked until I looked over at him and started laughing.

"What?" he asked me.

"Why are you naked?! We've been out here for a while and you're still naked," I was still laughing and I found it hard to speak through my laughter.

"Stop laughing at me! I don't like clothes you know thattttt," he was now starting to laugh; we looked ridiculous standing around and laughing like a bunch of idiots. Alex came over and wrapped his arms around me and I squirmed away.

"EWWWWW! GET YOUR NAKED BODY AWAY FROM ME!" I was laughing so hard and I backed away from Alex and fell into my seat at the table. "Just kidding." I held my hand out to Alex and he took it and sat in my lap. "I love you mister, you're fucking perfect."

"Yep, I sure am."

"And modest too."

It was at this point that I realized that today we would be doing the press conference and there was no way out of it. I had to stick to Alex's side. I just wish that I could've been done school, now that would be a gongshow too. I didn't know if I could handle getting followed by the paparazzi at school. Alex noticed me getting quiet and slid his hand through my hair.

"You'll get used to them," he whispered.

"Huh? What?" he broke me out of my thoughts and I looked at him.

"The paparazzi. They become just people taking photos, you won't even notice them after a while. Everything will go perfectly, and then the entire world will know that you're mine and I am yours and I won't get any creepy fan mail from girls anymore," he laughed quietly and looked into my eyes. "I promise, everything will go well and if they get too out of hand at the school, you can tell them to leave you alone or even go as far as to get a restraining order against them. They don't have to be a part of this."

"I know it'll be fine. I'm just nervous, I don't wanna do something in front of them that will disgrace you or my family. Oh fuck. My family will be followed too, won't they?" I dropped my head and rested it against Alex's chest.

"They probably will be, but with how much they make in a year, I'm surprised that they aren't already followed, and I'm doubley surprised that you have never encountered them before. Baby, you have nothing to worry about."

I was worrying for nothing, I knew that everything would be perfect, Alex was with me, how could it not be perfect? I grabbed my fork and started to cut up some of the pancakes and then I fed a piece to Alex. His smooth lips covered the fork and took the food off, he chewed and swallowed and I watched transfixed by the movements.

"God, you're beautiful," I whispered. I thought I had kept that thought in my brain until Alex blushed.

"Thanks, baby. But we should hurry and eat and then go upstairs and get ready. What do you think, suit or just slacks and a nice shirt?" he moved off my lap and into his own seat.

"I think you'd look great in anything, but I think that slacks and a shirt will suffice. You don't want to be too dressed up, right?" Alex nodded at me and we continued to eat our breakfast. Quickly we finished up and I stood carefully out of the chair. My ass was sore from sitting on the hard seat. "Ouch babe, you gotta get some softer chairs."

"Nah, you just need more practice," Alex laughed and moved up behind me, his arms came around my waist and he pressed against me.

"In your dreams."

"Oh psh, you know you want my dick," I could hear his low chuckle in my ear.

"Maybe some other time," I laughed and moved away from him. I went up the stairs to his bedroom. I walked over the plush carpet and into his spacious closet. "I'm borrowing clothes, cool?"

"Yeah baby, use whatever you need to," his voice was getting closer and I smiled when he entered the closet. I went through his clothes and grabbed a pair of khaki slacks and a button up black shirt. I set the clothes out on the island in the center of his closet then grabbed a pair of boxer briefs and set them beside them.

"I'm going to have to wear my flip flops, I didn't bring any other shoes..."

"That's okay, no one will be looking at your feet and if they are they're missing the most handsome face that they'll ever see."

"Awwhhh you're sweet," I left his closet, smacking his butt gently on my way out and made my way to his bathroom where I bent over and turned on the water in the shower. I stripped off my boxer briefs and stepped under the stream. Instantly the feel of the water pounding down onto my skin relaxed me. The feel of the shower is one that can never be replaced. Alex soon joined me and I smiled when I felt his naked body once again up against mine. It seemed I was perpetually smiling around this man, no matter what he or I did, I wanted to smile. Especially today. Maybe it's the freshly fucked feeling? I quickly washed my hair and soaped my body then rinsed off and I was about to step out of the shower when Alex grabbed me.

"You always leave so quickly, stay, enjoy the water," he whispered as he pulled me against him.

"I did enjoy it. You're just slow at showering," I joked and moved myself closer to him. "But you're hot, so it's okay."

"You better believe it. But stay with me for a while, we don't need to leave just yet. We have time before the press conference, Elizabeth will be okay with us being a bit late even if we are," his voice was low and his breath tickled my ear as he leaned in closer and nibbled at the rim of my ear.

"Baby, come on, we have to go talk to them about all this, we don't have time for sex right now. After all this shit is over with, I promise, we'll have fun. I promise you baby, I won't leave you hanging, but we both know that you need to focus. I'll be by your side the entire time, and you need to focus on the task at hand. Shower and shave and I'll go shave and then we'll get dressed and go meet up with Elizabeth. I'm sure she has a bunch of stuff to tell us."

"Alright, alright, I'll let you go," and true to his word, Alex let me go and I left the shower, grabbed a towel and set it right outside the shower for him.

"Babe, I left a towel just outside here for you."

"Thank you!" I grabbed another towel and started drying myself off then wrapped the towel around my waist and headed to the sink. I quickly washed my face and grabbed a new toothbrush and razor from Alex's drawer. I first brushed my teeth, and then grabbed the shaving cream and lathered up my jaw and cheeks. I quickly shaved and then moved and sat up on the counter to wait for Alex.

"Baby, I'm readyyyyyyy, hurry up."

"I'm coming, I'm coming," I heard the shower turn off and he came out of the shower and immediately picked up the towel and started to dry himself off. I watched as he rubbed the fluffy white towel over every inch of his body. He looked up and smiled at me and I blushed at being caught. "Oh, hey."

"Hi," I blushed more as he walked closer to me.

"Spread your legs," I complied and he stood between them. He raised his hands and ran them over my now smooth face. "Why'd you shave?"

"I need to look good for my first on camera experience."

"But I like you with stubble," he was whining slightly and still caressing my skin.

"Yeah, well I like you naked, doesn't mean that I'm going to let you go out of the house like that," Alex blushed slightly at my words but leaned in to kiss me. I resisted and he frowned. "Brush your teeth, I already have and I don't want your morning breath stinkin up my minty freshness."

He giggled softly and said, "Fine, but only if I get a hardcore make out session before we leave for the press conference."

"Deal, oh and shave too," I kicked his butt gently and smiled at him. He moved to the sink and completed his routine then turned his back to me and stepped between my legs.

"Hop on cowboy," he laughed quietly and I got onto his back and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and my legs around his waist. I could already feel my towel slipping.

"Baby, I'm gonna lose my towel."

"That's okay, we're just gonna put clothes on anyways," he was still laughing and stretching my legs like this was hurting a bit, but I wasn't going to let him know that. "TO THE CLOSET!!!!!!!" I giggled and held on tight as he started running to the closet. I tensed up a bit from the pain and held on for dear life as he stopped in the closet, slowly he lowered me to the floor and I stood there looking at him for a minute. "What?" he asked.

"You just amaze me, everyday," he blushed at my words but started getting dressed. I grabbed the clothes off the counter that I had set them on and started getting dressed as well. When we were both finished, Alex grabbed his cologne and sprayed himself then handed me a different one that smelled delicious, he sprayed me twice and then put the cap back on and set it on the counter.

"Make out time?" he asked, excitedly.

"Finnnneeee," I sighed but smiled at him and grabbed his hand. "Bed or couch?"

"Bed, definitely bed," he led me out of the closet and to the bed where he flopped down and pulled me down on top of him. "Mmh, perfect, just like this."

"Oh, hi," I smiled and pressed my lips to Alex's where they were met with the pressure from his. My tongue slowly made its way into Alex's mouth where it was greeted by his and we slowly started to wrestle tongues. Alex's hands moved to my lower back where they rested with his fingers just gently touching the top of my ass. I moaned quietly into his mouth as our tongues continued to push against each other. I was starting to grind against Alex when his phone started ringing on the night stand. I broke the kiss and whispered, "You should answer that." I continued to kiss his cheek and jaw. He reached over and grabbed his phone, slid the button over on the screen and held it up to his face.

"Hello?" he was trying not to laugh as I sucked on his ear, covering the lobe in my saliva. His greeting was followed by a bunch of mmhmm's and the like as I continued to nibble and lick his ear. "Baby, stoppit," he gently pushed me away, smiling. I stuck my tongue out and licked his ear once more and then moved away. I could hear Elizabeth's voice coming through the phone and I stood up from the bed and straightened my clothes, I went over to the mirror in Alex's room and fixed my hair. I looked over at him in the mirror and smiled as our eyes met. I mouthed "I love you" and his grin got wider. "Yes, Lizzy, we'll be there, we're on our way. No, we're not late, you said 11am, it's only..." he checked the clock, "Okay, okay, we're late. We'll be there soon, I'm sorry. Okay, Liz, stop, we'll be there as soon as we can. Yes, yes, yes. Bye."

He hung up the phone and came over to me. Instantly his hand slid into mine and our fingers laced themselves together. He led me down the stairs after we slipped on our shoes and we left the house, heading towards his car. He opened the door for me and I smiled at him. How did I get this perfect, amazing, handsome man to be mine? What did I do to deserve it, and where can I do some more of it so that he never leaves me?

We both got into the car and buckled our seatbelts and then Alex started the vehicle and quickly drove away. He drove down his driveway and turned the car onto the street. We drove until we came to building where the press conference would be.

Once he parked the car, he turned it off and we slowly got out of the vehicle. I was nervous and I could no longer feel the pain in my rear end. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and never let go. I wished that we didn't have to be in this stupid place at this time. That we didn't have to do this, that the world could just know and leave it at that. But, no, they needed to hear Alex say it, and as much as I didn't want him to go through this, I kind of wanted to hear him say it as well. We walked into the boardroom and met up with Elizabeth.

"Hey, Elizabeth," I called out when we were about 10 feet away. It was closer to noon now and I felt bad for making us late, but honest to God, Alex didn't tell me what time we had to be there.

"Thank you for gracing us with your presence," she said sarcastically, motioning towards Alex's entire team of handlers. I blushed and ducked my head.

"I'm sorry for keeping him from you," I muttered.

"Oh, babe, she's just joking," Alex wrapped his arms around me and I blushed even more.

"I'm nervous," I whispered so that only he could hear.

"Me too," he said quietly into my ear and we just stood there together. "So, you know what's going to happen, right?"

"Right. Is there a skirt around the table?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Cause I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this without touching you in some way. And until you admit it and we can hold hands, I'm going to need to at least have my leg against yours," I kissed Alex's cheek. "One last kiss until afterwards?"

"Yes, please," Alex put his hand under my chin and brought my lips to his. Our lips met in a gentle but passionate kiss and I sighed happily, trying not to moan. When our lips parted, Alex whispered "I love you, so fucking much. No matter what, I always will, I promise you."

I was almost crying, but I managed to whimper, "I love you too, always and forever."

Elizabeth came over to us and let us know that the reporters would be coming in in a few minutes, we stepped out the back door of the room, into a secluded hallway. Alex's hand never left mine and I rubbed my thumb across his skin. I had to be strong for him, but on the outside, I was shaking. I had to do this for him. I leaned over and pressed my lips to Alex's cheek and squeezed his hand tightly. Elizabeth came back over to us and told us that it was now or never.

I let go of Alex's hand and Liz led us back into the room and to the table. Alex sat in the middle, I sat to his right and his mom sat to his left and then his dad sat beside her. Instantly, I pressed my leg to Alex's and we both folded our hands on the table. I was nervous so I kept looking at my folded hands. I wanted this over with already. I was picking at my nails when Alex moved his leg just slightly against mine, I looked at him and he smiled. Instantly, I started to relax. Everything would work out, it had to.

Anna stepped up to the microphone to the side of the table and commenced the meeting, "Thank you all for coming, we'd like to begin now, Alex will say what he needs to say and then we will open up for questions. Please do not try to talk over each other, we will get to your questions eventually. Alright, Alex, go ahead."

Alex cleared his throat and started jiggling his leg up and down. It was right against mine and shaking me so I reached under the table and put my hand on his thigh, trying to calm him down.

"Okay, so as you probably all know already, I am gay," he waited a few seconds before he spoke again. "And I'm also in a relationship with Asher Lenox, seated to my right. We have been dating for four months and plan to be dating for much longer. Alright, question time," as soon as he opened up questioning, ten hands flew up into the air, he pointed to them individually. "TMZ, you're up."

"When did you figure this out? We've seen you with girls before!"

"I've known since I was a teenager, doesn't mean I wanted to let you guys know. The girls were covers. I am gay, I like boys."

The questions continued, asking how his parents felt about it, how his handlers felt about it, how my parents felt about it. Everything under the sun was asked and he answered them politely. Near the end of the questions I moved my hand from his thigh up onto the table where I laced my fingers through his, we looked at each other and smiled as flash bulbs started going off. I had to get used to it, I knew that this would be following me wherever I went from now on.

I leaned over and whispered into Alex's ear, "My ass is getting numb, are we almost done?"

Alex nodded and started smiling, it must have looked odd to the reporters, me whispering in his ear and then Alex smiling like nobody's business. Alex looked over at Elizabeth and caught her eye. He nodded once and she immediately stood from her seat and went up to the microphone.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. Thank you for your time, please exit out the front left side door."

Alex stood and I followed. Liz led us to the back door and we both hugged her as soon as we were in the hallway. Then Alex turned to me and wrapped his muscular arms around me, he squeezed me so tightly that I thought he was going to break me.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you," he said quietly into my ear.

I smiled and whispered, "Anytime, my love."

Alex's lips came to rest against my neck and he held me even tighter to him. God, I loved that I could touch him in public, I could hug him, I could kiss him, I could hold his hand. THANK THE LORD!

"You guys should get out of here before the mob starts, Alex your car got moved to the back door. Head out that way, I'll meet you at the house," Elizabeth warned us. Immediately Alex was all business and started running down the hallway towards the back door, I followed at a much slower pace because my ass was crying out from the hard seat. He turned around to see me quite far behind him and he ran back.

"I'm sorry baby, I forgot that you're hurting," he took my hand and we walked down the hallway at the pace that I had set.

"It's fine, honey, I was going to let you go at your pace and then just catch up."

"Nonsense!" he laughed quietly as we walked through the door and to his car, the closer we got, the more we could hear the cameras clicking away. They really wanted to see us holding hands. Craziness.

Alex even went as far as to open the door for me, I blushed but smiled at him and slid into the seat. I buckled my seatbelt while he went around the car and got in on the driver's side. As soon as he had buckled his seatbelt, he started the car and drove off, waving to the paparazzi as he did. I smiled and reached across the center console to rest my hand on his thigh. He drove back to his house and pulled into the driveway, he didn't park in the garage, but rather in front of the front door. I unbuckled my seatbelt while he shut the car off then I reached over and grabbed his shirt collar, I pulled him over to me and met him half way, I pressed my lips passionately against his, losing myself in the kiss for a moment. He was just too perfect for words.

I slowly pulled back from his lips and got out of the vehicle, I walked up to his front door and punched in the code to unlock the door. I walked inside and waited for him to come up the steps, while I was waiting, I slipped my shoes off and set them beside the door.

I waited for Alex to walk into the house before I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. This man put everything on the line, just to be with me and I knew just how to repay him for it. But, for right now, I was going to kiss him and love on him and make him a delicious supper. And all he had to do was sit back and relax.

"I love you so fucking much," I whispered before I pressed my lips to his hard.

"I know baby, I love you too."

My phone was ringing in my pocket and Alex took it out of my jeans and answered it.

"Hello?...Yes, Beth, everything's fine...no, we know what we're doing...yes you can come over...oh really?! Yeah for sure bring him with you...see you in a few...bye bye," I only heard his half of the conversation but I grabbed his hand and led him to the living room where I pushed him onto the couch. I straddled his legs and rested my butt down on them. "Oh, hello."

"Hi," I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his again. Our lips were molding against each other's and moving in sink. Just as we were starting to get really into it, the doorbell rang. "Ahhh fuck."

I stood up and adjusted myself in my pants, I looked over to see Alex licking his lips at me.

"God, you're so hot."

"Well, I'm glad that you like what you see," I smiled at him and then went to the front door. I quickly opened the door to see Beth standing there with Channing Tatum at her side. "Why hello there!"

Channing looked a bit embarrassed, but I just smiled and invited them. I knew what Beth was going to tell me, she didn't need to even say anything.

"Ya'll are an item, aren't cha?"

"Yeah..." Beth was looking at the floor, obviously embarrassed by me. "Ever since that one day where we met, we've been talking like crazy and then the like last week, we really started getting serious."

"So have you boned?" I was not embarrassed by my words, but Beth and Channing both seemed to be.

"ASHER!"

"What?!"

"That is on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know," she looked so triumphant.

"So, yes?" I was trying my hardest not to laugh but it was a losing battle and finally, I doubled over and started laughing. It was a deep, belly laugh that shook my whole body.

"What's so funny?" I heard Alex's voice as he came through the livingroom and into the entrance.

"THEY'RE BONING!" I kept laughing and I was soon joined by Alex's sweet laughter.

"I guess we played matchmaker, hey?"

"Yessir, we sure did," I finally stopped laughing and moved over towards Alex. "But in all honesty, as long as you guys are happy and Channing doesn't hurt you, I'll be happy."

"I'm not gonna hurt her dude, I care too much about her," Beth blushed at Channing's words and he rested his arm over her shoulders.

"Good, now anyways! Let's celebrate! Alex is out to the world, and I'm his public boyfriend," I laughed quietly at my words and pulled Alex into a sideways hug.

"So, what are we doing tonight?" Channing asked, his arm still protectively around Beth.

"Well, first of all, we're going to move from the entrance, and go sit in the living room where we can have a comfortable conversation, and then we're going to hang out and get ready to go to a bar. I wanna party, I need to let off a little steam," I started walking to the living room and the limp was back, sitting on Alex's lap the way that I had had made my ass sore again.

"Why are you limping?" Beth asked me.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing," I hoped that she would just leave it at that.

"OH MY GOD!"

"What?" Channing asked her.

"They did it!" Alex and I both blushed and hid our faces.

"Okay, maybe we did, and I'm a bit sore, so sue me."

My face had returned to its normal shade and I sat down on the couch carefully, Alex sat on one side of me and Beth on the other. Channing was leaning across Beth to talk to me and Alex but we still managed to have a comfortable conversation. Alex's arm was constantly wrapped around my shoulders, showing his protective qualities and I just blushed at him when he squeezed me a bit tighter. I noticed that Channing never let Beth out of his sights and constantly had a hand touching her in some way.

By the time that 9 o'clock rolled around, we were all ready to head out to the bar. I stood from my place on the sofa and headed to Alex's bedroom where I went through to the closet. I grabbed a pair of his tightest pants and slipped them on and then found a baby blue v-neck shirt and slipped that on. I quickly sprayed on some of my favorite cologne of his and then slipped flip flops onto my feet. I double checked myself in his full length mirror and then made my way back out to the living room.

"Fuck, babe, why you gotta look so hot?" Alex's mouth was wide open, like he was shocked to see me.

"I gotta be hot when I'm standing next to you. You're fucking sexy as fuck!" I laughed quietly and made my way over to Alex. I gave him a soft kiss on the lips and then grabbed my wallet and cell phone. "Can we go now?"

"Yes, yes, definitely yes," Alex whispered and we made our way to the door. Beth and Channing followed us to the door, holding hands and looking oh so adorable! We decided to take Alex's car because he wasn't going to drink. Alex and I held hands the entire way to his car and he even opened the door for me.

"How are you guys so cute?! Stop being so adorable, you're making us look bad," Beth said to us, jokingly of course.

"Oh shut your filthy whorish mouth," I laughed and got into the car, waiting for the others. Everyone got into the vehicle with me and Alex started the car. We were soon off on our adventure to the club.

Beth and Channing created idle chat with us as we drove and I simply sat back and listened. These people were the closest to me, other than my parents. Alex and Beth knew everything about me, and soon, Channing would too. If he was going to be close to Beth for a long time, he would soon get to know me better than most people. It shocked me that Channing and Beth had gotten so close so soon but I was happy for them. Beth deserved the attention, as long as he continued to treat her like a princess, I would be okay with it.

At this point I wasn't worry, but maybe I should've been. I was happy and for once, I didn't care what anyone thought. Time was going quickly and it was scary but at the same time it was awesome. I was spending more and more time at Alex's and I was sure that I would soon be living there. I just had to complete school and I really hoped that what we had wouldn't affect my schoolwork and that my school work wouldn't affect my relationship. I needed to find a balance, and so far, I had.
