Chapter ELEVEN
Alexandrea's P.O.V
After Bex said that I started laughing really hard. I wonder how he looks without eyebrows. He deserves it anyway, no one messes with Bex and gets away with it.
The rest of the day went by fast as much as I didn't want it to. I found myself walking out of the school with Bex towards her car while she complained of how sunny it was. She removed her jacket and threw it in the back seat as soon as we got to her car. I still had my hoodie on but the zip was open, I couldn't remove mine because of...well you know.
She turned on the air conditioning while I sat in the passenger seat and turned the radio. We sat in the car without moving enjoying the cold air in the car.
I was about to ask Bex what will happen now that she's done with Andy before a knock on my side of the glass interrupted me. I groaned and looked over to see Eli grinning. Bex wiggled her eyebrows at me and rolled the glass on my side down.
He's probably here to bug me again.
"Hi Bex, Alex" he nodded.
"Hey, What's up?" Bex greeted while I just smiled.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out with me. Tonight" he asked.
I knew it.
"Sure, I'll be there" Bex said.
"What?! You were talking to Bex?" I asked. Now I felt stupid.
"Yeah! Why?"he asked hiding a smile.
Why is he going out with Bex? I thought he came for me?.
It's none of your business if he wants to go out with her. Right?
"Alex we were just joking" Bex laughed as she looked at Elijah.
"You were just joking?" I asked looking at Elijah.
"Yes! you can stop pouting now" he grinned and his dimples were deep as ever. God! I love dimples.
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes smiling at them.
"But at the restaurant, you promised to come over and learn from my amazing cooking skills" he said as he leaned on the car.
"Oh, maybe next time" I said. I don't want to be alone with him.
"You're not doing anything so why don't you go now!" Bex interrupted with a teasing glint. I rolled my eyes at her and shook my head.
"Why?" Eli whined.
"Is everyone else going to be there?" I asked hopefully.
"Sure, Nick and Eddy will be there and we can invite Zoey if you want" he answered.
Maybe I should just go since we are not alone anymore.
"Um..okay, I'll be there" I said and he furrowed his eyebrows.
"Why can't you just follow me now?" He whined again. I was about to answer when Luke from the other day came then did this fist bump hug thing that guys do. I think it's cool though.
"Hey guys!" He greeted looking at us. Okay, Bex specifically who was flashing him a grin.
"Um..hi" Bex said shyly. Wow...this guy must be special because Bex is never shy. Like ever.
"Bex, you okay?" I raised an eyebrow at her behavior and she started blushing and nodded. Okay, this is not the Bex I know.
"I was wondering if you are free sometime maybe we could hang out?" He asked looking at Bex who was playing with her fingers. I was trying to hold the laughter that was building up.
Bex Johnson? Shy?...I never thought I would see such day.
Elijah was clearly surprised too as he was staring at them. Bex had not answered the question and was busy looking at him.
"Bex? You forgot to answer his question" I said almost choking on the laughter I'm holding as she snapped out of her trance.
"Oh..i..um s-sure" she stammered and my eyes almost bulge out if their sockets.
Dude..what are you doing to my best friend.
I thought as Eli poked my arm and I looked at him.
"Let's give them privacy" he said loud enough for both of them to hear.
"What? No! Please stay!" Bex said grabbing a fist of my hoodie.
Time for revenge for leaving me in the rain.
"We have to go. I hate being the third wheel" I said as I gave her an evil smile and left the car. She was shooting murderous glares at me as I walked further away from her with Eli by my side.
"So will you come with me now that you don't have a ride?" He asked smiling and I groaned. He got me.
Besides I can avoid my mom that way.
"Fine but don't try anything funny" I said to him partially meaning it.
"You're not my type" he smirked as he opened the passenger seat for me and I entered. Ouch! That stung. I shot him my middle finger as he entered the driver's seat and started the car.
The ride begun and soon, we were on the road. I put on the radio and all the songs were foreign to me so I just rolled the glass down and stuck my head outside a little. The wind blew against my hair and face making me smile.
I'm happy.....for now.
Suddenly the glass started rolling up and I quickly put my head back in the car then I glared at Eli who was struggling to hold in laughter.
"What?" He said after laughing for a long time while I was giving him a death glare.
"You are asking me what? What if you rolled the glass up with my head still outside" I asked unbelievably and he started laughing again.
"It's not even funny" I rolled my eyes and pretended like I was angry while pouting. He eventually stopped laughing and glanced at me.
"Hey!" He called and I stared forward pretending like I didn't hear him.
"Alex" he poked my cheek while facing the road.
"Baby I'm sorry" he said and I froze.
Baby? He can't call me that. We are just friends. Right?
I was about to talk but then we stopped in front of a giant and beautiful gate. The mansion inside it was even more beautiful. I stared in awe and didn't even notice when he parked.
"Earth to Alex" he snapped his fingers in front of my face and I blinked twice.
"You live here?" I ask as he got out of the car and ran to my side to open it for me.
"Yeah" he nodded. We entered the house and one of the maids took my school bag from me. He gave his to another maid and we walked to the sitting room. I think.
"Sit there. Let me go and freshen up,okay?" He said and I nodded. He climbed up shiny stairs and I still stood rooted to my spot. I felt so out of place. I sat on the expensive cushion and I sank into it immediately.
God! This is so comfy.
"I could stay here forever" I muttered as I pressed my body into the cushion.
"You can if you get married to me" A voice said and I rolled my eyes.
"No thank you" I said as I sank further into the cushion.
"Let's get started lazy bone" he said as he pulled me up. I groaned nd stood up reluctantly. We walked into the kitchen and my jaw dropped. This is the biggest kitchen I've ever seen. With workers moving around and an old woman I recognize as the chef barking orders here and there.
"Close your mouth baby" Eli whispered and I shivered a little. I closed my mouth and my cheeks flared up in embarrassment.
"Whoa" I looked around in admiration. There was food almost everywhere.
"You like it?" Eli said again.
"I think I'll consider marrying you if I get to eat anything I want every day" I joked.
"How about now?" He smirked and went down on one knee. My face was probably red by now because the whole kitchen stopped to stare at us.
"Uhh...Eli what are you doing?" I gulped.
"Alexandrea Dwayne, will you cook with me?" He said and immediately he saw my expression, he started laughing. He stood up and clapped his hands then everyone continued working. The chef walked up to me and eyed me curiously.
"Pumpkin, who is this?" She asked Eli and pointed at me. I frowned, pointing at a person is rude.
"Alex meet Mama Lily, she's in charge of the kitchen" Eli said as smiled at me. I smiled at her and she just stared at me up and down.
"Did you wash your hands before entering the kitchen and why is your hair open? Do you want to poison the food? Please leave and do the necessary things" she said looking at me like I was dirt.
"I'm sorry, I'll go do that now" I said as I left the kitchen immediately and Eli rushed after me.
"Hey! Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded.
I'm used to this kind of treated already. This can't affect me.
"I need a hair net" I said as I started to roll my hair. He disappeared and came back with a hair net. I collected it and put it in my hair. I walked back to the kitchen, washed my hands and wiped them with a neat towel.
Eli talked to the arrogant chef and soon everyone was out of the kitchen. We decided on making cupcakes with different flavors. As he promised, Nicholas and Zoey came. Eddy came hours later.
"Hey guys" Zoey said cheerfully as she ran to me and pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back awkwardly then she pulled away and gave me a big grin. Others strolled in lazily.
"So you were alone with Eli huh?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me.
Okay, what is it with people and shipping me with whoever I hung out with??!
"Yeah and nothing happened" I said to her as I took the cakes from the oven. Eli and I made separate cakes so others could decide which tastes best.
I put whipped cream and toppings on my cakes and smiled in satisfaction.
I'm definitely going to win.
"I'm done" I yelled as I walked out of the kitchen. Eli was still in the kitchen making his.
"Let the judging begin" Edward said as he took two cupcakes and stuffed them in his mouth.
"Yes" Zoey and Nicholas agreed as they picked one each. Eddy nodded furiously as he picked another one and I grinned. Zoey moaned and picked another one as well earning a look from Eddy. And Nicholas.....he just shrugged. He freaking shrugged.
"It's a bit salty" he commented and my eye twitched.
"Do you even put salt in cake?" I almost yelled frustrated. And he shrugged again as he took another bite and chewed. There was something about the way he was chewing that was so cute.
I smirked and walked up to him while he and everyone else except Eli who was still in the kitchen gave me a confused look. I got to Nicholas front and stood on my toes. My head was the same level with his chest so I had to. I took his chin, pulled it towards me and kissed him on his cheek.
"Now?" I whispered close to his ear. He froze and quickly stood upright as I went back to my normal height as well.
"Uh..it's really good. I mean the cake" he stammered as his cheek turned pink. I smirked as Zoey and Eddy stared at me.
"My masterpiece is ready" Elijah yelled breaking everyone from the trance. Nicholas, Eddy and Zoey rushed towards Elijah and snatched the tray of cupcakes from him. I watched as they devoured the cake.
"Eli wins" Zoey and Eddy say at once and wiggled my eyebrows at them while they blushed.
"YES!!" Elijah yelled facing me.
"Nicholas, who wins?" I asked hopefully and he smirked as if trying to revenge.
"I choose Eli, his cake taste way better than yours"he folded his arms and I stared as his arm muscles flex.
"Oh yeah? You want a repeat of last time don't you?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"What happened last time?" Eli asked.
