Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

-------%%%-------

SPECIAL: ALEXANDER'S POV

-------%%%-------

My mind was filled with Dalanie. From her smile and her laugh to her hair and her scent, every little thing about her was just etched into my memory.

She was my perfect girl, my ideal type. I'll admit I'm really jealous of Zachary. And the fact that he french kissed her makes my blood boil.

With that, you gotta say that I was secretly really happy when Zachary was all over that v*xen and when Dal called me. So I went over to her place and right now we're about to kiss.

Kiss.

Kiss..

Kiss...

I leaned in and tilted my head slightly, stared at her soft pink lips and closed my eyes. Just before I closed them, however, I saw Dal close her eyes too.

This is amazing! My crush is gonna kiss me back!

I felt our lips touch and we pressed hard into each other. She accepted! Damn... never had a kiss that felt this good. My palms grew sweatier by the second, and my heart couldn't beat slower.

Yes! I'm french kissing my crush!

After a minute or so of gentle kissing, Dal pulled away, the both of us frantically catching our breaths.

"Wow, um... That was... refreshing?" Dalanie said, looking up into my eyes.

"Y-yeah," I looked away nervously.

A finger and thumb clipped my chin lightly and turned my head to face front.

There was an awkward silence for a few moments, before I spoke. "Sorry, Dalanie."

To my great surprise, however, she grinned shyly. "It's okay. Honest."

Do you... do you think... she likes me too?!

My face lit up internally at this thought and I started quivering. Dal reached out and took my hand. Maybe she's trying to move on over Zac? But what if I was just her tool for now?

"Thank you, Alexander. I don't think I ever felt so... relieved in a long time."

"Huh?" I started.

"I'm going to get some cookies. Stay here alright?" she said and left.

I leaned back on her bed and sighed. I've got a lot to think about.

BACK TO DALANIE'S POV

----------------%%%----------------

"I'm going to get some cookies. Stay here alright?" I said and left.

Once I got out of the room and closed the door behind me, I wiped a thread of beaded perspiration trailing down my face.

Did that really just happen? Did I really just kiss Alex? Gosh, i need some time to take this in. Whew!

"Sis, what are you doing out here?" I heard Lilith's childish voice ask.

Looking down quickly an in horror and her loud outburst, I freaked out for a few seconds before covering her mouth, carrying her and running down to the living room.

"Oh gosh Lil. Please don't do that again."

"But what happened?"

"Nothing. At least... you wouldn't understand."

"Ooh, really?" she stared into my eyes with a smug smile.

I rolled my eyes. "Get Alex and I some cookies, please."

"Gee, the things I do for you," Lilith sighed and went straight to the kitchen. Still reeling in shock, I collapsed on the sofa and closed my eyes, lost in deep thought.

I kissed Alex. I kissed Alexander Oesterling! Does that count as cheating on Zachary? But... we're not dating. And Zachary himself is going to sleep with Francesca tonight. I think.

"You okay, hun?" I felt a soft gentle touch on my shoulder.

"Ah!" I shouted, nearly jumping out of my skin.

"Oops, didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry!"

"Mum...." I trailed off, tears starting to fill my eyes. She stroked my hair but didn't say anything, giving me allowance to speak.

"Zachary and I are not dating okay? We're not dating! I kissed Alex just now, and tonight Zachary is going to sleep with Francesca!"

"Woah, woah, slow down there, Dalanie! Breathe in, breathe out, calm yourself down and tell me everything.

I did as told then gathered myself together and spoke. "Alex told me that Zachary gave Francesca her number and that she sleeps with the guys on the day she gets their numbers. Which means he's gonna sleep with her tonight!"

Mum pat my back softly and waited for me to continue.

"So Alex came over to comfort me because I was in such shock. But then from awhile ago, I kinda had developed a small crush on him. Just now upstairs, Alex leaned over to kiss me, and I didn't know what to do, so when we did, I acted like it was nothing big. But sure as hell it is!" I kept sobbing non-stop.

"Okay sweetie, I want you to calm down. Drink some water, and go back up to your room. Alex is still waiting. Tell him how you feel about everything going on first. Tell him how you feel about him, too. Keep a kind tone but don't mention anything about Zac. If Alex was the one who initiated the kiss, he might just like you. Try to see who's better for you, don't make quick decisions or jump to conclusions. Since you're not dating Zac, it makes the situation easier to handle. Now go on, go up there and talk to Alex. Don't make him wait too long," mum winked and urged me to go.

I smiled, wiped away a tear, and walked to the kitchen to get the cookies and have a drink. After which, I straightened my shoulders and walked up the stairs with newfound confidence.

"Alex?" I said as I pushed the door open slightly.

He looked up from his phone and grinned. "Heyya."

"I've got the cookies," I stuck a tongue out playfully and sat down beside him as we began to tuck in.

"Uh... about just now... I-"

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. I'm really sorry for kissing you. Really couldn't control myself and that time and you seemed so vulnerable, I just felt the need to protect and comfort you."

"Alex..."

He held up a hand to stop me from speaking. Alex took a deep breath, closed his eyes and his lips were quivering. "I-I have a crush on you, D-Dalanie."

Okay. That left me stunned for the next few minutes. He just confessed?!

"You don't have to say anything," Alex looked down and grabbed a cookie, his face as red as a beetroot.

"No. I have to," the seriousness in my tone made him look up and into my eyes. I licked my lips nervously and shot out like a machine gun.

"Honestly, I've kinda developed a crush on you. Been a while now."

"You what?!" Alex stared in disbelief.

"Yeah, I have a crush on you. Too."

"Dal..." We both stood up and Alex put a hand in his pocket. He looked at me shyly and reached out his free arm, grabbed my waist and pulled me in.

Should I be doing this? Memories of me being kinda intimate with Zac raced in my mind.

Nevertheless, I should just forget about Zac, right?

"You're my perfect girl, my ideal type," Alex said and stroked my hair with his chin resting on the top of my head.

Somehow, I felt a sense of trust and security. Something I never really felt with Zac. Well, as in I just felt comfort within Zac, but the sense of security and breach of trust within Alex. I started to ponder over the two.

"Uh, Dallie? I'm sorry, I gotta get going," Alex pulled away. His scent and warmth was still enveloping me.

"Oh... come again soon okay, Xander?"

He stood there for a moment with his mouth hanging open slightly. "No one's ever called me that. I always secretly preferred that nickname over Alex. I thought that maybe one day, someone might call me that and I was so curious as to know who."

"Xander..." I said.

"I'm glad it was you," he said and kissed me on the forehead before making his way out.

Ooh, the butterflies. I felt myself blushing. I think Alex saw that, because he gave the brightest smile that I ever saw him giving anyone. Pretty happy that it's me.

"I-I'll show you the door," I hurriedly ran after him.

Dinner was great. Mum's chicken soup never failed to amaze me.

I went up to my room straight after to complete my homework to occupy my mind. At about 8pm, my phone buzzed.

Text from Kael:

Hey Dalanie, Damon and I heard about what happened. We all know it's not easy for you. There may be not much that you can do, unfortunately. But if you want, you're always free to talk to us boys (Zac not included) or even Kris. We're here for you. Remember that. ;)

Take care, Dal.

P.S. Damon and I will be back at school tomorrow. We can't wait to see y'all.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Kael, Damon and Alex are so different from Zachary! I think I wanna talk to the boys and Kris soon.

Kael Cambern

Last seen 8.01pm

Hey Kael, thanks for the concern. And great to have you and Damon start school tomorrow. It'd be nice to talk to you all. I have so many emotions, I don't even know exactly how I feel. How does Café Delight at 3pm tomorrow sound to you?

Locking my phone and throwing it on the bedside table, I leaned back on my chair and sighed. I ought to sort out my feelings.

A short while later, my phone buzzed again.

Text from Kael

Sounds brilliant. Damon, Kristen and Alex will be there too!

Alex will be there too? I... suppose that's fine.

I got up, stretched, and sat back down, hurrying to finish the last few questions before getting a well-deserved night's sleep.

"If 'a' equals to 36, 'b' equals to 42, and 'c' equals to 65, what is the value of 'a' over 'b' to the power of..." I muttered.

ZACHARY'S POV

-------%%%-------

After a quiet, thought-filled dinner, I paced around my room urgently. Francesca should be calling or texting any moment now. I want to back out, but I kinda don't want to either.

Buzz!

"Ah!" I got a huge shock when the phone vibrated.

Text from Francesca

Sexy, I'm outside your place in my car waiting. You don't need to know how I got your address. Anyway, I booked a hotel room for a night. Excited?

I nearly vomited at that. Excited?!

Okay, maybe that was a fake vomit. Maybe I was excited. But it's just a bit. A tiny bit. Really a small bit. I swear.

I grabbed my coat, phone, wallet and ran out, not bothering to inform my family of my leave.

"Over here," a sweet and seductive yet with a slight hint of b*tch voice called out. I turned my head to look at that direction and saw Francesca in a short, fancy dress leaning over her hot pink convertible. I walked over nervously. "Ready? Hop in."

I did as told. Perhaps I wouldn't regret, I kept telling myself.

"Why so quiet? Surely you're not thinking of backing out? Or even worse, thinking about that nerd Dalanie? She's already lost to me," Francesca drummed her fingers on the steering wheel and wiggled in her seat. Just seeing her lick and bite her lips or twirl her hair honestly grossed me out.

Approximately fifteen minutes later, we arrived at the hotel. Francesca parked her car and we got out. "Alright, sexy. We're here. Get ready for the best night of your life."

I sighed. Or will it be my worst?

Francesca grabbed my hand and looked at me in an "act like we're a couple" way.

The both of us walked into the hotel and a lady at the reception attended to us.

"I booked a room. I'm Ms Andrewes," Francesca was looking boastful.

"Yes, Ms Andrewes," the receptionist looked at the computer to confirm the room number before handing her the keys. "Room 925. Here are your keys. Have a great evening."

"I definitely will."

I was still checking out the hotel when Francesca pulled me towards her, her chest pressed slightly below mine.

"No time to waste. I wanna have fun."

Well, I... I didn't. In fact, I had second thoughts about really doing this with her. Sometimes, when you make a decision, it's too late to change it.

Before I could do anything to back out, Francesca was completely naked.

"Not coming?" she leaned forward, her boobs showing.

I swallowed. On second thoughts, this was my only chance to sleep with such a hot girl. As for Dalanie, she wouldn't leave me easily. You haven't seen the way she looks at me. Anyway, back to my soon-to-be great time with Francesca.

My eyes raked her naked body. She gotta be good. I licked my lips.

Sorry Dal, I thought and lunged towards the nude girl in front of me.
