72 You Won’t Be Getting Any Sleep Tonight

Britney was observing Alex's affectionate gaze. She had wanted to ask him this question for a long time now, but she wasn't able to find the right opportunity. Now that Abbie was away, she decided to satisfy her curiosity.

"Excuse me, Alex." Britney waved her hand in front of the yes of the love-struck teen. "There's a question I have been meaning to ask you. What's so good about Abbie?"

Seeing the frown that appeared on Alex's face, Britney hurriedly rephrased her question. "I mean, why, out of all the girls in the world, did you have to choose Abbie of all people? Is there something special that you see in her?"

As expected, Alex's expression softened a bit after she changed her aggressive question into a moderate one.

"Before anything else, let me answer your first question first," Alex replied with a smile. "You asked me what's so good about her right?"

"Yes. I hope that it didn't come off as rude," Britney explained. "That was not my intention."

"Don't worry, I didn't take offense." Alex flashed Britney a devilish smile which made the girl swallow her saliva unconsciously. "Only blind people wouldn't see how beautiful Abbie is. Just look at her."

Alex gestured to Abbie's direction. "She has perfectly shaped breasts and well rounded hips."

"Uh...I won't comment about her breasts." Britney said while wiping away the invisible sweat on her forehead. 'Isn't it just big because of her body fat?'

Britney cleared her throat before she added, "Her hips? Well, they are well rounded alright."

'Yes, very round indeed,' Lackey A thought with a smile. 'Just like a balloon.'

"She also has a bubble butt.," Lackey B said, unaware that she had spoken her thoughts out loud. Fortunately, Alex didn't understand what a bubble butt meant. He just thought that Lackey B was complimenting Abbie.

Alex continued to describe how beautiful Abbie was in front of the three girls. Some of the girls seated at the tables near theirs also perked up their ears to listen to their conversation. They wanted to know why a handsome guy like Alex chose a seemingly plump and ordinary girl as her girlfriend.

"Can't you see her slender and flabby waist?" Alex asked. "Isn't it beautiful?"

'Slender and flabby shouldn't be used in the same context when referring to waists!' Britney wanted to slam her head against the table because of Alex's twisted logic.

The girls listening to their conversation glanced at Abbie and shared Britney's thoughts.

'You call that a slender waist? Isn't that more like the size of a drum used to store water?'

'If you call that slender then why do we need to watch what we eat? What's the use of dieting?'

'I wish I had a guy like him as my boyfriend!'

Alex was unaware of the peanut gallery's thoughts. He was busy narrating all of Abbie's good points to the Red Alert Girls. His attention was so focused on Abbie that he missed the dumbfounded looks solidified on the three girls' faces.

"Can't you see her charming plump face and those adorable lips that are just begging to be kissed? No one would be able to resist them!"

The boys who were seated near their table looked at Alex in disdain. If only the red-haired teen wasn't more good looking than them then they would have already opened their mouths to mock and laugh at him.

'What do you mean no one would be able to resist them? I'm not even affected by them!' These were the words that the men wanted to say to Alex, but they held them inside their hearts.

"She has the softest hands.I wish that I could hold onto them forever."

"..."

"Can't you see her meaty arms and legs that show how healthy she is? Girls like you who are too skinny should learn a thing or two from my Abbie!"

'You wot?'

'Bruh…'

'The f*ck?'

The peanut gallery bit their lips in frustration. They couldn't stomach Alex's twisted views about beauty. Some of them even thought that he had mental issues. Britney and her two lackeys were doing their best to keep a smile on their faces.

The leader of the Red Alert Girls was regretting the fact that she had opened Pandora's Box by asking Alex that question!

Alex shook his head in disappointment when he noticed their reaction. He didn't want to continue talking to people who didn't understand what true beauty was.

"Anyone who can't see how beautiful Abbie is needs to visit an eye specialist before it is too late." Alex said with finality.

'...Why don't you visit an eye specialist first before we do? Clearly, you are the one with eye problems!'

The peanut gallery wasn't able to take it any longer and the majority of them left the cafeteria. They had a feeling that if they stayed a minute longer, they would start to question their own sanity.

Britney nodded her head and thanked Alex's for answering her question. She vowed to herself that she would never again ask Alex any questions related to Abbie. The pretty girl could tell that the man in front of her was blinded by love and they wouldn't be able to communicate on the same wavelength.

Britney and her lackeys excused themselves and left Alex to wait for Abbie. They had already finished eating and staying would only waste their precious time at the resort. They still wanted to visit one more attraction before they returned to the hotel for the main event that the resort had prepared for them.

"Hmm? Where did Britney go?" Abbie asked. "Sorry, it took a while to get our orders ready."

"They said that they still wanted to visit one more attraction," Alex replied. "Here, let me help you with that."

Alex supported the tray in Abbie's hand and gently placed it on their table. Abbie ordered fried chicken, french fries, burgers, cheese dogs, and two big mugs of diet cola. The two ate happily while chatting.

"I miss Mother's cooking," Alex said as he ate the fried drumstick in his hand. "If possible, I'd like to visit her again soon to enjoy her homemade cooking."

The corner of Abbie's lips raised a bit when she heard Alex refer to her mother, Amelia, as his mother.

"If there is an opportunity, I will introduce you to my family," Abbie replied. She was already looking forward to the reaction of his[her] mother and father when she introduced her very handsome boyfriend.

"Didn't you already introduce me to them?" Alex chuckled. "You're so silly, Abbie."

"Sorry. Sometimes I forget that you and little Alex are one and the same," Abbie said in a soft voice that only Alex was able to hear. "You're just so different from each other."

Alex leaned closer to Abbie and whispered. "Which one do you like the most?"

"The little Alex of course," Abbie answered without batting an eye. "He's too innocent unlike you…"

"So, you're saying that you prefer the little me, hmm?" Alex looked at her with a challenging gaze. "I'm legal, you know. That means that we could do this and that…"

Abbie picked up a burger and shoved it in Alex's mouth. This adult Alex was just too flirtatious. She was afraid that she would be swayed by his words if she let her guard down.

Alex munched on the burger that was shoved in his face with grace. After taking another bite, he then looked at Abbie with a serious expression.

"Abbie…"

"Hmm?"

"You won't be getting any sleep tonight."
