(Alex POV)
I was eating the ugliest rice in my entire life, when I saw Jen. Her perfect figure, her stunning smile, made me the happiest guy in the entire world. I grinned, but she didn't see that. She sat next to John.
Why do girls love John? I was asking myself. He always had everything. The status of the most popular guy, even though I was the captain of the football team; the most perfect marks at school and most important, the girl that I loved- Jennifer.
I love her dark brown, cocoa like, hair, always straight, smooth and shiny, her green almond shape eyes which look makes the world stop for a moment, her snow white skin, cool as ice. She was always my best friend, but I felt something more than that. I was in love with her; unfortunately she was head over heels for that douche John. I listened every talk about John, how handsome or smart he is. That was killing me inside.
I was staring at Jen, while she was eating her lunch, laughing on Peter's stupid jokes. She was so beautiful, I loved her, but I didn't want to share her with him. He didn't deserve her; he was vain idiot with the biggest self-confidence.
“Dude, stop staring” Cam said to me.
Erika was looking at me with a pity.
“Why did you leave her like that?” Erika asked me.
“I hated the smell of John on her skin. I hate him. I don't want to share her with him” I yelled.
“Calm down” Ginny told me.” Jen loves you” she said giving an accent to “you”.
I then looked again at her and realized her hand on John's thigh. I wanted to go there, say to that douche that she loves me and literally, kill him. I had to do something; something to separate them.
Jen stood up and went upstairs. I did take that chance and followed her. I knocked on her door.
“John, you are early” I heard her saying.
She opened the door and saw me instead. She raised her eyebrow and tried to close the door.
“Don't!” I yelled. She was shocked, terrified.
“John will come, so leave” She said cold as ice.
“That was it? You told me you love me. Obviously you don't. You are selfish you know” I shouted.
“Selfish? You left me, you pushed me away Alex, and I am being selfish?” she screamed. Her eyes were suddenly full of tears. She covered her eyes with her pretty, little hands.
“I hate to share you with him. I hate it when you smell of his perfume. I can't stand him” I tried to explain, taking her hands.
“You should have told me that” she said, as a tear rolled on her smooth cheek.
“Babe don't” I whispered and whipped the tear with my thumb.
“Go Alex, please” she whispered and closed the door.
I was standing in the hall, stunned. I didn't want to lose her. I couldn't let him win! I had to fight.
I saw John coming. The second he saw me, his eyes filled with anger;
“You are always nearby my girlfriend. I hope for your own good, it is coincidence.” He said angrily, with his rough voice..
“Dude, she is my best friend. What the hell?” I lied, and walked away. “Later” I said and waved my hand, lazily.
Ugh, how much I hated him. If killing was legal, I would kill him a hundred times. The thing, that she was with him at that momen,t depressed me. I laid on the bed and plugged the headphones to my green IPOD. I played “return the favor” by All time low and tried to relax and forget everything.
(Jennifer POV)
Alex. Why did he play hot and cold with me? I had no time for thinking. John was coming in a minute, so I whipped the eyeliner and applied it again. I added some concealer under my eyes and some mascara. I heard a knock on the door. It was John. I unlocked it and kissed him. He tried to grab my waist, but I backed off. I grabbed his white, blue stripped jumper and pinned him on my bed.
“We play naughty games hon?” he asked with his face all grinned.
I bit his down lip, so he got his answer; I got to the fridge and got an ice cube.
“Know this game?” I asked him. He nodded. I then, put the cube in my mouth and kissed John. The ice cube was melting in my mouth, when John grabbed it with his teeth and slowly moved it up and down my neck. I was tingling from the cold ice on my skin.
The ice cube was melted, so I kissed John's neck. I gently licked his neck and he moaned. I knew that he enjoyed.
We then, started making out. After a while, we were breathless from all the excitation.
“So enjoyed?” I asked him while I was making ponytail of my messy hair.
“Yup” he said popping the p.
“Come here” he said and wrapped his hands around my waist.
“More?” I asked him and he nodded.
“I missed you” he tried to justify. I smiled and looked away. I then realized I have butterflies in my stomach again. Great, just great- I told to myself. The dilemma is back again. I had to make up my mind, soon. The sooner, the better.
I've never seen John on fire. The splash of his emotion was like fireworks on New Year, he tried to get the best of himself, showing me how much he missed me.
I wrapped my legs around him, hugged him and laid my head on his chest. He was whispering to my ear
“No matter what, I will always love you. You are better than my dream, you are my everything.”
I was melting in his arms, while he was saying that. I have never been that happy, that loved; but did I love him? Did I? I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I felt a kiss on my forehead. I opened my eyes and saw the glowing eyes of John.
“You sleep well?” he asked me. I rubbed my eyes and nodded.
“What time is it?” I whispered.
“Half past six” he said, as he looked at his silver irony Swatch.
“Wow!’ I screamed. “I gotta go! I've been here for hours. They are gonna be mad” I said and kissed him.
I hear Erika yelling, as I opened the door.
“Are you crazy? What the hell? You are with him all day. Alex is half depressed, just so you know” She was shouting in my face, not even bothering to take a breath. “Not gonna say anything?” She asked me calmly and breathless, as I laid on the bed.
“I will end this thing with Alex” I told her. Her eyes went wide open, her mouth was opened, and she just murmured
“Talk to him first OK?”
Perhaps I was a coward, but at that moment, I was standing with the cell on my hand, calling Alex, the guy that one day ago was my prince charming, to finally put an end of it. I heard his concerned voice saying:
“What's wrong babe?”
I was unable to speak, tears were rolling on my cheeks; I barely uttered:
“Alex, it is over”
Silence. The thing I was scared the most from. I could heard his tensed breathing.
“The hell?” He suddenly shouted.
“Sorry” was the only thing I said and hanged up.
I laid on the cold, smooth pillow and started crying. What have I done? - I was asking myself.
“Don't blame yourself!” I heard Erika's concerned, inconsolable voice.
I started crying even louder.
“I love him!” I screamed through tears.
“Why am I such a jinx, luckless, pathetic girl? Why am I not like everyone else? Why does my life always challenge to make the time of my life the worst time of my life?”- I shouted.
Erika was puzzled. She was standing in front of me, with her pale face and her “you are mad” look.
“She is freaked out, oh God, oh God” She was murmuring.
I heard the loud knocks on the door. I was shocked. Whoever it was, it was not the time. I was scared as hell. I didn't want to face Alex.
Erika was looking at me dully.
“I will open” she said, as she heard Alex shouting.
“No!” I screamed, begging her not to; but despite that, she opened the damn door.
As he entranced the door, he saw me, depressed, with turgid, red eyes and messy hair.
“Alex, I… I “I tried to talk, but it was hopeless; my voice was rough and wheezy and I barely spelled the few words.
“Shh!” He tried to calm me down, by playing with my hair. “Babe I am sorry. I don't want you to be shared. I hate John, and the thing that you are with him, alone is killing me. I was mad, not at you, but at me. I-I shouldn't have rejected you, never. I love you. I am sorry.” He added. His eyes were filled with tears. I have just made him cry. Alex, the sex symbol, was crying for me nerdy, not extraordinary girl.
“Aww, Alex don't” I said, crying in his warm hug. “Forgive me. I- I have PMS, perhaps, or something” I added, trying to blame it on the PMS, which I certainly didn't have.
I put my head on his chest and ‘immured’ in him.
“Kiss me” he whispered on my ear.
I slowly put my lips on his half opened, soft lips. My tongue interlaced with his. His hands wrapped around me. The feeling was just priceless.
“ I want to be with you forever” he whispered.
“Always” I smiled.
