I peaked in by the crack of the door to see Alex and Brittany, his ex, standing across from each other at an intimidating distance. Brittany had her hands at the rim of her dress, almost like she was about to lift it up and over her body. Alex had his hand over hers warning her from her actions, his face was swelled with anger. She ripped her hands away from him and stood back, tears rimming her eyes, and yelled.

"You'll regret this Alexander." She said and ran out the door. So overwhelmed with tears, I think she may have missed me standing there.

I ,unknowingly to my own raging thoughts, ran towards him and wrapped my arms around him, laying a kiss upon his lips.

"You should go to sleep, it's getting rather late. Stay here. I'll be right back, I have to call the party off downstairs." He rubbed my shoulder then kissed my forehead. He left me behind, my cheeks a rouge, and left the door open ajar. I slipped into his bed, covering myself in his bed comforter. I was unsettled and uncomfortable in the bed, sweating and turning. When I felt a presence over me.

"Alexander?" I questioned and before I could open my eyes, a pair of lips smashed themselves upon mine. My eyes widened in panic. 'He' split from me , still holding onto my wrists.

"Guess again sweet cheeks." The voice of the horrid monster spoke. Zack, my ex, was holding me down, leaning to kiss my neck. Every time I tried to move him off, he'd tighten his grip on me. I was in tears with not only pain, but fear of what my nightmare above me has in store.

Could Alex hurry up.

And as I thought about him, he appeared and tore Zack off of me. I sat up straight to and watched him. I was still crying. I don't know what I would've done if Alex didn't come to my rescue. I can't believe I was so useless and unable to fend for myself.

"This is my one relationship you will never ruin." Alex growled out as he took Zack by the collar and hit him square in his jaw.

He then threw Zack out of the bedroom door.
"Now get out before I do more than just give you a harsh blow." He said.

Zack went running and the sweet sound of the downstairs door opening and closing brought a sense of relief over my body. Alex turned to me.

"That was the last of them." He said and dusted his hands off before coming over to me. Giving me my space, but I leaned in and hugged him with all my might.

"You'll be okay." He said and rubbed my back as he kissed the top of my head. That's how I fell asleep, in the arms of Alexander Green.

*****************

I woke up in the morning with the person ,who a night ago didn't even want to sleep next to me sleeping ,by my side.

"How about we go to the lake again?" He asked him his morning voice, it is so soothing that I felt at home , here in his arms.

"Sure, any special occasion?" I asked him and turned myself over, placing my chin on his chest.

"We can have our second date, if you don't mind. We could go back to the lake, you okay with that." He said.

"That sounds amazing." My brain went back to last night, i could consider this as a thank you, I wasn't going to bring it up. I don't want an angered Alex this early in the morning.

***************

Alex had taken me back home and left again for me to get ready so he could also get himself ready. I had decided on a simply blue shirt with my black ripped jeans.

A car hoot came from outside and I excitedly ran downstairs, shouting goodbye to my parents. Outside stood Alex, who was leaning against his car. He looked so good tonight, alittle more than usual.

I ran towards him and gave him a hug.

"Let's get going." He said and I nodded and got into the car.

And off we go.

***************

We arrived at the lake, Alex had placed out a picnic blanket and some snacks for us to enjoy. We spent a few hours just eating and enjoying each other's prescence. These few weeks that we've been 'dating' I'd really gotten to know him and I feel comfortable when I'm with him.

"Here, try a strawberry." He said and stretched to feed me a strawberry, which I happily bit into. Then he kissed me, bliss overcame my body.

We pulled away and I smiled at him.

"I just wanted to taste it. It looked almost as good as you." He said and I chuckled before pulling him in for another kiss. He pulled me into his lap and what started as a small kiss turned into a heated make out session. Were we getting alittle to serious for what is actually supposed to be a fake relationship.

"Want to do something fun?" He whispers in my ear as he pulls away. I could feel his smirk on the side of my face.

"And do what?" I asked as I turned to my full attention to him. He lowered his hand to my ass, gripping it to pull me closer to him.

"Skinny dipping, Ash. We are young, we should have fun right now, do reckless things. Or else we will regret it for the rest of our lives."he said.

I hesitated at first but then slowly nodded my head. My self consciousness tried to stop me but my body physically betrayed me.

"Under one condition." I said as I held up my finger in front of his face.

"Anything." He said with wide doe like eyes.

"I want to get dressed and climb into the water without you staring at me." I said and he smirked. Faking a frown.

"No promises, Ash. I'm very tempted to see your sexy body." He said and stood up before getting changed right in front of me. His glorious bare chest on display, but before he could pull of his boxers, I looked away. I heard a splash in the water and hesitantly looked to see if he is in the water.

I quickly got undressed a bit shy of my body as soon as my foot touched the water he turned to me, naked me.

I quickly jumped in before he could get a second glance. He swam a small gap between us but for every step he takes I take two until I hit the bank of the lake.

"I told you no promises ,Ash."I suddenly realised he had been calling me by the nickname my dear best friend had given me.

"Oh well?" I said getting out ,he took a few more glances at me and bit his lip quickly getting irritated by his lip piercing. I, who now was fully dressed leaned over the bank of the lake teasing a kiss, brushing my lips softly over his, he tried to kiss me before I pulled away and whispered in his ear.

"You could have had that last night."I said which made his jaw clench and I just giggled and went to lie on the boardwalk while he dressed himself. Clearly frustrated with my previous antics, he laid next to me.
