Jade's POV

It's been a week since Alex was texting me.

Flirting, I might add.

He occasionally kept telling me that he just can't stop thinking about me.

But the things is that, I just couldn't stop thinking about Daxton, who hadn't even attempted to get to me.

I mean, if he was interested then maybe he could find his ways to contact me, but he didn't.

Maybe he wasn't interested.

Alex on the other hand wouldn't reveal to me how he got my number.

He told me he had his 'sources' who managed to get him my number.

I looked at my phone as the screen lit up, again.

Alex: Are you tired? 'Cause you're running on my mind.

I chuckled at his one liners.

"OMG! Marry him already!", Fizzy screamed and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Can you not yell?", Jamie said as he took another bite of his burger.

We were in a cafeteria which was just across our university where we often hung out.

"Oh shut up, the guy is so much in love with her. Can't you see it?", she said harshly to Jamie.

I rolled my eyes at her, again.

"It's not love. It's called flirting", I said and she furrowed her eyebrows.

"Fizzy, you are so naive. Can't you see that she's into the older brother and not Alex?", Jamie smirked at me and I felt heat rush to my cheeks.

"She's blushing. Oh God, she's into the older one!", Fizzy exclaimed and a few people around us turned to look at us.

"Shut up", I whisper yelled as I lightly slammed my hand on the table in front of me.

"Whatever", she said as he rolled her eyes and sipped on her latte while Jamie just looked at the two of us with a grin spread over his face.

My phone buzzed and I saw a picture of my mom on the screen indicating a call from her.

I answered the call and placed my phone to my right ear, "Hi mom".

"Hey little one, are you alright?", she asked on the other end and I smiled.

"I'm fine, mom. Jamie, Fizzy and I were just chilling by the cafeteria across our uni", I said and heard her sigh in relief.

"Good, I was starting to get worried why my baby wasn't home as yet", she laughed and I smiled.

"Oh the reason why I called you was to ask you if you could pick up my gown from Mariella?", she asked.

Mariella Sanchez was our family friend who was also a well known fashion designer.

"Yeah sure, I'll do that on my way home", I said to her and she thanked me.

"And please look thoroughly if it isn't clean, I would want you to drop it to the laundry and have it ready by tomorrow", she said on the other end and I heard some shuffling.

"By tomorrow?", I asked.

"Haven't I told you? We're meeting with the Langfords for dinner", she said and my eyes widened.

"What? Tomorrow?", I yelled which made Jamie and Fizzy stare at me with worried eyes.

"Yeah, make sure you do what I told you", she said before we said our 'byes' and hung up.

"So, what's tomorrow? Why did you yell?", Fizzy asked as she impatiently drummed her perfectly manicured nails on the rim of the table.

"We're meeting with the Langford for dinner", I said as a smile crept up my face.

"Okay, she's going to see Daxton tomorrow. That's why she's excited", Jamie said with that smirk back on his face.

"Girl, you need to dress to impress if you want Daxton texting you rather than Alex", Fizzy said as she clapped her hands in excitement.

"Yeah, I'm gonna have to find the best outfit in my closet", I said as I thought about my outfits.

"Girl, no. You need something new. Let's go shopping!", Fizzy exclaimed and Jamie rolled his eyes.

"You think so?", I asked and she nodded enthusiastically.

"If you guys are going shopping then I'm heading home", Jamie said as he looked at Fizzy and me.

"Alright, I suppose we're going shopping", I shrugged my shoulders and Fizzy squealed.

"Fine. Send me a picture of what you're wearing when you finally decide on it", Jamie said as he slid the strap of his backpack on his right shoulder.

"Yeah, I will. Drive safe", I said as I rose from my chair and followed Jaime our of the cafe with Fizzy close behind me.

"You too", he said as he walked towards his car.

Fizzy and I got into my car as we drove off in search of the perfect outfit.

.

.

After an hour of hunting, literally hunting for the perfect outfit, we managed to find a red lace dress which was really gorgeous. It came down slightly above my knees and I knew this was the one.

I tried it on in the fitting room and almost squealed when I saw how gorgeous it looked on me.

I quickly snapped a picture and sent it to Jamie and stepped out of the fitting room to see a smiling Fizzy.

"This is perfect. I'm pretty sure he'll want to marry you right away", she squealed and I rolled my eyes.

I got changed into my clothes from earlier and looked at a new text that I received.

Jamie: Damn girl, this looks really good. I'm pretty sure the Langford dudes are going to be having a hard time just 'conversing' with you after they see you in this outfit ;)

I laughed as I put my phone back in my hand bag and exited the store with Fizzy rambling about how I should style my outfit.

We drove down to Marielle's boutique and I collected mom's dress as I thanked the assistant at the store and exited.

Since the dress looked pretty clean enough I decided not to send it to the laundry.

I continued driving to Fizzy's house as she screamed her lungs out to the songs which blared through the FM of my car and I controlled the urge of stopping the car and asking her to get out.

We soon pulled up in front of her house and she hugged me before getting out of my car and waving as I drove ahead.

.

After a long shower, I stepped out of my bathroom and walked towards my closet as I randomly grabbed clothes to put on.

Once I was dressed I walked back to my bed and pulled the covers right up till my neck and sighed as I got comfortable.

I skipped dinner with my parents because I wasn't really hungry and was glad when they didn't force me to join them.

Or maybe I was just nervous because I would be meeting Daxton tomorrow?

My phone 'tinged' and I unlocked it to read a new message.

Alex: Okay, I can't wait for tomorrow because I'm going to meet you x

I raised my eyebrows as I read the text again.

This is the first text which isn't flirty or crazy; like him.

Jade: Wish I could say the same, but I'm not excited to meet a bore like you.

I know it's rude, but I wasn't really excited to see him.

I was excited to see Daxton.

Alex: Ouch, I'm hurt :(

Alex: But I also know that you know I'm not a bore. You're aware of all the things that I can do ;)

My eyes widened at this.

Jade: What do you mean?

Alex: Well, just wait until you find out tomorrow ;)

I blinked as I read the text and locked my phone.

Under other circumstances I would have been blushing and whatever you do when a guy shows interest in you, but right now this didn't feel right.

Because Alex texted me almost all day and I couldn't stop thinking about his brother.
