I missed him

"You've got to stop coming through my balcony doors it's 'less-than-romantic' more 'murder-stalker' vibes." I tell him.

"I like your room... It's my favorite place." He smirks. I roll my eyes at him and observe his figure. His curly hair is now soaked with water so are his clothes.

"Why didn't you wait until the rain let up?" I asked pointing to the hailing rain currently pounding on the house.

"I had to see you." I can see the desperation in his eyes, he really missed me after everything I said to him on homecoming night and he still wanted to see me. He really must love me.

"Well... as long as you are here, I don't want you dripping water all over my floor." I walk over to my bathroom and grab a fluffy pink towel to dry him off. Walking over to him I raise the towel to his head and he flinches.

"You ok?" Confusion decorates my face.

"Are you trying to smother me?" He asked with a scared face. I roll my eyes and smacks his arm.

"If I was going to kill you it would have been on homecoming night, now stand still." I put the towel on his head and start to dry his hair. Then I bring the towel to his body, his muscles ripple through the towel. While drying him off I hear someone knock on my door.

"Hey Quinn it's grandpa can I come in?" He asked. My eyes bulge open, realizing I have a whole guy in my room if grandpa sees him, he'll freak.

"Uh- I- hold on a minute I'm... naked!" I scream at him through the door. Grabbing Alexander's arm, I drag him to the bathroom.

"The rain has just let up so I'm going to see Irene. While I was out do you need me to stop at the store and get you more ointment?" My face flushes with embarrassment, why couldn't he ask me that in the living room?

Alexander looks down at my flushed face laughing at the current embarrassment that I'm feeling. "What's the ointment for?" He whispered looking down at me.

I use all my might to push him in the bathroom. "Wouldn't you like to know." Finally, getting him in the bathroom I shut the door and run over to see a waiting grandpa on the other side of the door.

Leaning closer to him I talk quietly so Alexander won't here. "Yes, I need the cream... get me the one that smells like strawberries the plain one smells like dead feet." He laughs at my comment and gives me a nod.

"Why are you whispering?" He asked also whispering to me. Couldn't tell him the real reason I was whispering so I just made something up.

"I have... a small headache." I hold my head in pain.

"Mhm take some medicine and take it easy. Maybe all that reading is making your head hurt." He says pointing to the books on the bed.

"Could be." I laugh awkwardly. "See you later?" He kisses me on the forehead and proceeds to the front door. Looking down from the staircase I wait until he's out the house, started his car to let Alexander out the bathroom.

Closing the door, I let out a sign and cower back against the door. "That was so embarrassing." I whisper to myself.

"IT REALLY WAS!" Alexander screams from the bathroom. He really must want me to kill him huh, I will do it.

Charging towards the bathroom I fling open the door and drag him out. "Someone's feisty." He says flirtatiously. I point towards my chair and he sits down.

"So, you want to talk." He crosses his legs, interested in what I have to say.

"Yeah, I wanted to talk about what happened on homecoming night. I was a little overreactive about not wanting to see you again. That obviously was a fallacy because here we are sitting together talking." I say pointing to the both of us. "Having a conversation with Lyra in the woods had me th-." Suddenly I was cut off by Alexander.

"Wait... what were you doing in the woods?"

I answer him quickly so I can continue on with the story.

"We were doing a project for our environmental class anyways s-." He immediately interrupts me again.

"What was the project about?" My face scrunches up in anger.

"If you interrupt me again I WILL smoother you." I point my finger at him as my lips purse up. He puts his hand over his mouth, showing me, he will be quiet.

"Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I really care for you and I shouldn't have talked to you the way I did. So, what happened during those weeks when you were gone mean nothing and I should let it go. It's not like we are boyfriend and girlfriend or nothing so you owe me nothing, there I said it having anything to say." I look at him with hopeful eyes hoping he would forgive me.

He lifts himself off the chair and walks over to me, he collects my hands in his and starts continentally at me. "I actually wanted to tell you where I was Quinneth you deserve to know." I move my hands away from his and put my hands up so he can stop talking.

"No, I don't want to know it's irreverent."

"Are you sure?" He asked not sure of my answer.

"Positive." He shrugs his shoulders and brings me into a bear hug. Wrapping my arms around his body I engulf him; he's smells like aftershave and nature. Oh, how I missed the way he smelled. Letting go of me I see him looking weirdly at my bed.

"Everything alright." I asked curiously. He points towards the many books on my bed.

"What's up with the witch books?" Leaning over me he grabs a book and flips through the pages.

"It's just some research I'm doing... for a school project." I say lying through my teeth.

"Ok."

"So, want to hang out?"

"You know I do." He walks over to my side of the bed and plops on it.

Alexander's P.O.V.-

A few minutes before going to Quinn's house...

"Hey, where are you going?" Aren asks me while shifting on the couch. Her black and purple hair lays spread out on the couch pillows.

"Quinn's house." I stick my phone and wallet in my back pocket. She rises up from her position and rests her chin on her hands.

"I thought she didn't want to see you anymore." She says as her eyebrows furrow together.

"Yes, she did say that, but yesterday she texted me saying she wanted to talk?"

"Mhm well what are you waiting for get over there." She ushers me towards the door. I wave goodbye to her as I head to my car on the way to Quinn's house.
