Life Ain't fair

Chapter 18

[Edited]

I turned around. The sight in front of me made me stop breathing for a second. Alex was standing there in all his glory wearing a black button up shirt his muscles a little prominent. He looked breathtaking. He is handsome. The most I've ever seen. God why the hell is he so damn sexy.

I looked into his eyes to see them shining with a twinkle, and then look at his face to see him smirking. I internally roll my eyes knowing already what he was going to say.

"Can't keep your eyes off me baby" he winks.

"God stop this stupid s**t on me." I groan.

He laughs and leads the way to another room which looks like a games room .

"Im not a fan of video games" I voice my opinion.

"Well lucky for you we aren't playing that. He took a soccer ball and told me to come outside.

There was a beautiful lawn out there. It was really amazing. We walked out a little further and I saw the goal posts.

Yes he is a soccer player and is in the school team. Well he is the captain after all.

" Okay tell me you know how to play soccer at least" he asks.

I smirk at him and take the ball away from him kicking the ball forward. Im sure that Alex is still in the state of shock after that. Soon he recovers and comes at me chasing me. He tries taking the ball from behind. But I trick him into thinking I was losing it but suddenly turned the other way and hit it towards the goal. It went in

"Yess" I shout

"What" Alex was still shocked.

"Well that's why you should never underestimate me " I smirk.

"Okay wow that was awesome" he said trying to distract me and took the ball away from me and ran to the other side.

Well we dribbled , ran , almost fell laughed and enjoyed the game and finally I won by a point 3-4. I'm sure he let me win but I'm not gonna tell him that.

We were actually going to continue playing but Alex got a call from his dad saying that we were wanted back at the house.

"Ha I won" I grinned.

He looked at me without arguing about it.

"What " I asked confused.

"Nothing" he says giving me a cute smile that shows his dimples. Can this guy get any more perfect. His eyes ,hair , lips

and now his smile and dimples. God what is this guy making me think. I seriously need to stop thinking of him this way.

We walked together side by side. It was actually really really nice. It felt nice walking in the comforting silence. None of us spoke a word.

We finally reached the house and we went inside. Dante and my dad were watching tv along with Mason. And my mom was busy with Emily. That girl is so damn cute just like her brother.

As we walked in everyone came over to the dinning hall.

"So what did you both do" Dante asked.

"We played soccer" I replied enthusiastically.

"Oooh nice. So who won"

"Sophia" Alex mumbled.

"What" my dad was surprised.

"Yeah Sophia won" he repeated.

"Wow. You beat my son. You must be a special one in sports" Dante comments.

"Not exactly. It's just that I loved soccer from a very young age. And YouTube definitely helped" I say

We all laugh and start eating. We shared lost laughs and jokes and emotions that we missed. It felt nice to talk to someone

who was so close in the past. I actually expected people to have forgotten me. Well Victoria kinda did but still. I expected everyone must have . That was what made me reluctant to come here. But now seeing as everyone is so happy and even I am. It feels nice. To be here. With people who care.

That night I went home happy and slept without any distractions in the night. My past didn't haunt me. It was a peaceful sleep for me.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face . It's not everyday that I get up not drenched in sweat.

Today is the day I am supposed to move out and into our new house which is right beside Alex's.

My parents did most of the packing anyway. They wanted me to concentrate on school as I was already late and they did not want me to fall behind.

I do not care much about getting ready but I still love to be presentable. So I take my bath and change into a while full sleeved top along with a cute miniskirt. Im that kind of person who prefers skirts and gowns and dresses over shirts and pants.

[AN- imagine the skirt to be a little longer yeah?]

There was no school today so I had to only concentrate on unpacking. We were all going to go to our new house today. I walked down the stairs to see my parents along with my brother having breakfast. I walked over to them and greeted them a good morning and began to eat my breakfast. My mom made an amazing Indian breakfast today. It has been so long I ate indian food. I really missed it.

After breakfast we walked outside to the car. All our belongings had already been shifted only we had to go now. Along with a few personal things. We walked out of the house and entered the car. Me and my brother as usual began to play songs through our bluetooth while our parents kept nagging at us saying what kind of song do you listen to or lower the volume

They hate the new songs sometimes. But me and Mason are used to their complaints and it does not faze us anymore. We just enjoy ignoring them on that part.

As we reached I got down and my jaw hit the floor at the sight I was seeing. I thought I reacted bad to the other house we were in but god this is huge and massive. Although not as big as Alex's house it was still huge and I don't understand how I failed to realise there was a huge house beside Alex's the last time I was here.

We walked towards the house. It had a beautiful front yard with a fireplace right outside the house. As we walked inside it was amazing. My mind is blown looking at this house. God my parents are rich . I mentally roll my eyes at myself and look at the house.

As we entered the hallway opens up to the living room with a tv and 3 couches behind it were the staircases and the kitchen was behind the staircase. The counter was circular and the dining table was right outside. I went a little further on one side there was a hallway to my parents bedroom and a bathroom. And on the other side were the doors to the backyard. I didn't know I could be even more surprised but I was outside was an amazing lawn stretched ot far along with a swimming pool and a table on the outside and another fireplace along with a couch.

I went inside to ask my parents which was my room.

"The one with your initials" replied my mother.

Wow I thought to myself. I even get my initials on my door. Boy I must be lucky. I went up and looked the right side of the hallway led to mason's room on the right and my room after his on the right. And there were two guest rooms across from ours. I wanted to have a tour of the rest of the house but I was really excited for my room first. I opened my door with a lot of excitement and the room matched mine.

{AN:- Imagine there is a tv in there instead of the glass wall}.

It was an amazing and huge room. There was bed facing the wall right in front of me with a huge tv on it. On my right was a fireplace again. Someone loves fireplaces I thought. And in front of the bed there was a coffee table and two chairs. On the other side of the bed was the bathroom. I entered it to be speechless again. Even bathrooms here are amazing

{AN:- imagine it with the top closed. We don't want to embarrassing ourselves now do we??}.

There was a washbasin on my right and as I entered it opened up and there was a white bathtub with a counter right opposite to the tub and a few cabinet. Beside the tub was the shower. It has an amazing interior.

I walked back to the bedroom and recoiled in shock to see someone sitting on my bed grinning at me.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

{I just wanted to give that effect they give in tv shows after a cliffhanger ???}.

There sat on my bed was Alex grinning at me. I rolled my eyes and asked

"What are you doing here Asshole and how did you even get here I thought I locked my room".

"Well you never locked your balcony. I turned around to see a door which was opened which led to a small mini balcony

and opposite to it was another balcony separated only by a few inches.

Wow did he just jump over and is that his room. God I'm doomed. I really am. I turned around to look at him looking at me with amusement.

"What" I ask annoyed.

"Nothing is just that your really mad and it's amusing" he replied.

I was really annoyed by now so I said.

"Well I'm glad that my misery is giving you amusement" I turn around to walk out but am grabbed by my wrist and turned around just like the other day in the diner.

We were again very close to each other our breaths mingling noses almost touching. I just had to lift my toes and look upward or he had to look down and our lips would meet. At that time his hand comes around my waist.

Wow do I want to kiss him??. He has amazing lips which are so damn kissable. Omg I really wanna kiss him. Omg really. He looks down on my lips and back up to my eyes . His eyes turn a little shade darker with confusion swirling in his eyes. I so badly wanna kiss him right now. God do I like him??. I don't know. do I?.

He suddenly exhales and begins without changing the gap between us.

"Do you remember the first day we met" he asked.

"Yeah well you were certainly beating that guy to pulp. Im glad his parents can still recognise him now" I state

He begins to laugh and all the awkwardness around us begins to desipate.

"No not that time. The time you almost killed yourself by my car" he asked.

WAIT WHAT. That was him?. Seriously?. Like what?.

My mind began to go crazy thinking was that guy in the car him.

"You were the guy in the car?" I ask almost hoping it was him but I have no idea why.

"Yeah" he laughs looking at my expression and again enjoys my confused state.

Wow it was him and now the mystery was solved yet I have an tugging on my chest that does not make me comfortable.

"Well you asked me for help so here I am " he says.

"Well I never asked you offered. So I will put you to work. You can enjoy putting out my books" I say.

"What" he fakes being offended.

"I thought I would get to put off your clothes and see your sexy lingerie. Maybe make you wear one or two" he pouts.

God that pout . It already has me melting. This guy is going to be the death of me. He is perfection on all levels. I don't think any number of times I tell it will be enough.

"Prick" I say. And continue to do my work of unpacking my clothes. After a few hard agonising hours our work is done and we both collapse on my bed . It was already 4. We did have lunch in between and now he wanted to have a movie marathon.

He has never had one with me. He definitely will die. I laugh to myself and go down to get some popcorn and some snacks. We sit down on my bed and I start Playing my favourite movies.

"Seriously" he questions with a blank face looking at me.

I nod my head vigorously.

"I did not know you were a fan of chick flicks" he groans.

"Hey there's nothing wrong with romantic movies okay. And KJ Apa's my bae so stop commenting on him. Have you seen him shirtless . He is so damn sexy. Those abs" I fantasise while Alex bring me out of them.

"If abs is all you want them I can show you mine baby" he whispers in my ear.

"Asshole" I comment and he enjoys laughing.

We continue to watch the movie and by the time it's done it's already 7.

He walks out of the balcony after that goes to his room. Even though I had so much fun today with him I keep thinking about those two times where we could have almost kissed. I try to tell myself not to think about it but I cannot help it. I am disappointed that the kiss did not happen and happy too. He might be just leading me on . He is a player and once a player always a player.

But the disappointment did not go away. Why?. Did I want to kiss him? Yes. Do I like him?. I don't know . But I enjoy his company and him. Being with him makes me happy.

Omg s**t. I am doomed

I like Alexander James.

The realisation that dawned on me made me scared.
