Chapter 31

I tugged at the peice of lingerie again and again. It was so damn short! I'm sure if I bend I'll end up flashing my butt. And maybe even my boobs, the cleavage is that deep. And Stacey said she used to wear it a couple of years back. She used to wear slutty clothes back then also. She had never dressed decently.

"Are you coming Alex?" Stacey said before she left the room. Great! I'd forgotten that we hadn't had dinner yet. So I was supposed to be downstairs, in this. I would have said I wasn't hungry, but I really was very hungry. So no choice. I reluctantly trudged downstairs groaning and sighing. It was forever before I reached the hall.

"Wh-what the hell?!" Dylan cursed as his eyes landed on me. I was about to enter the hall, Dylan was blocking my path.

His eyes were appreciatively looking at me. But the scowl on his face said something else.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I wanted him to compliment me, say something cheesy or pass some comment about how I looked. I wanted him to sound satisfied not revolted.

"What the fuck are you wearing?!"he exclaimed.

"Um...night-ware?"

"Right! Where's the rest of it?"

"This is all there is" I mumbled, feeling ashamed all of a sudden.

"Go. And. Change" he said, his teeth clenched.

I suddenly snapped out of it as I glared at him. "Who are you? My boyfriend? You can't tell me what to wear!"

"I--that's not what I meant" he mumbled, taken aback. There was a slight tinge of red on his cheeks. Oh my God! Mr. Player is blushing...sort of.

"Whatever!" I said with a huff and walked past him.

"Nope! You're not going there looking like this" he said blocking my path.

"What the hell is your problem?"

"Go and change"

"Why do you care?"

"I just don't want you looking like this when you go there"

"Huh?"

The next few seconds happened very fast. Out of nowhere Dylan pushed me up against the wall and blocked either side of escape by putting his hands. His deep sea green eyes stared straight into mine. It was like I was being hynotised. Those eyes were so mesmerising...

"Go and change Alex"

"Why do you care?" I muttered.

He leaned closer and I thought he was going to kiss me. But he didnt . His lips neared my ears and he whispered. "I don't want the whole world to see how sexy you look right now. I want to be the only one who knows that and i'd like to keep it that way"

My breath stopped as his words sunk in. Feeling slightly shaky, I nodded. His lips brushed slightly against my cheek before he dropped his hands and backed off. I immidiately sprinted upstairs.

I returned a couple of minutes later wearing a tee and shorts. That was the most decent thing I was able to find.

Dylan scowled when he saw me but thankfully didn't say anything. Everyone was settled down comfortably arounnd the hall on the couch.

"Let's go to the den, shall we? I've ordered pizza" Stacey said.

"Pizza? And you?" I exclaimed.

"I've ordered salad for myself and Amber. Not everyone eats like a gorilla"

"At least I don't starve myself!"

"Whatever. C'mon everyone!"

"Bitch" I muttered as I followed everyone to the den. Everyone settled down there on the couch, bean bags and the rug.

We all waited and chatted for a while. When the pizza came five minutes later, everyone was settled down and ready to watch a horror movie.

"No no no no never!" Stacey squealed, her eyes wide with horror.

I rolled my eyes. "We're watching a horror film and that's it" I said slipping Final Destination three's CD in the DVD compartment.

An eerie music filled the room. The sound surround system and the now dark room blended in perfectly to form a sppooky horror-movie-watching atmosphere.

"Aaahhh!!" Stacey screamed and jumped in next to Dylan. Shhe clutched his hands tightly, her sharp french-manicured nails digging into his skin.

I rolled my eyes and munched on my pizza as the movie began. When the roller-coater-crashing scene came up, Stacey totally freaked. She clasped her hands onto her eyes and started chanting "I'm gonna die...I'm gonna die" I couldn't help laughing.

"Yeah sure Stacey, you're next. Deaths coming for you next"

She yelped and burried her face into Dylan. An amused expression was plastered on Dylan's face. "Chill Stace, I'll protect you from...death" he said chuckling.

We continued watching the movie with a couple of more Stacey-freak-out moments. And soon it was time to go to bed.

"Good night everyone" I said yawning. I was slightly scared about sharing a room with Stacey. She was a physcotic bitch. What if she turned up with and axe to chop off my head?

Tip: Don't watch a horror movie before you go to sleep in Stacey's bedroom.

I was slightly surprised when I entered Stacey's room. She had cleared it up a bit and now there was another single bed at a little distance from Stacey's queen sized bed.

"Its a portable. I mean the bed. It can fold up and all. You can sleep on my bed if you want..."

Woah! So is this how it feels to be in the twilight zone? Stacey was actually being nice and considerate. Guess the bitch has a heart after all.

"Um no, its okay. I'll sleep here. Thanks for letting me stay over"

"I wouldn't let you out in the storm. What if you got struck by alightening and died. The blame would be on me. Not technically me but you know. Its bad for

karma"

I rolled my eyes. Bad for karma? She didn't think about karma when she acted like a bitch around everyone.

"Goodnight Alex!" She chirped as she went off to her bed. I silently lied down on my bed and tried to sleep too.

****

[Dylan's POV]

I couldn't stop thinking about Alex as I tried to sleep. Her face was permanently etched onto my mind. I can't stay away from her. I can't let her hate me. Because I really, really like her.

I need to make things right.

But how?

I could tell her I like her. She still likes me and I know it. It clearly shows. If I tell her how I feel would she forgive me? Yeah right! She won't even believe me! Besides even if she does, she'll ask me to be in a relationship. I mean that's what normal people do. When a girl and a boy like each other its only obvious that they should get together. Not me though. The player in me will never let me commit to a girl, however much I like her.

Ugh! I got up with a start. Sleep was pointless. I needed to talk to Alex. I needed to tell her.

But why? What good will it do?

Maybe she'll stop hating me.

So that's how I ended up in Stacey's bedroom at the dead of the night.

I silently prayed that from where I stood now Alex could hear me. Standing in front of the bed, my hands feelingg clammy, and my heart beat increasing second by second, I got ready to say what I had to.

"Pssst...Alex!" I whispered.

No reply.

"Hello??"

Someone groaned. "Uhh...who's this?" A sleepy voice said.

"Its me Dylan! I need to tell you something"

"Go on..." Alex sounded different. Oh well, everyone sounds different when they are half-asleep.

"I...I like you" I decided to not beat around the bush and be straight-forward. "I really like you. I'm sorry for what I did. You're the one I care about. I hope you don't hate me. You're really pretty and I love being around you. I just...like you. Sorry for acting like a douche"

Great Dylan! You can flirt with countless girl but when it comes to midnight love confessions you sound like a retard.

I heard her squeal girlishly. Wait, Alex doesn't squeals...

The light snapped on. My eyes widened in surprise as I took in the scene before me. It was like someone had a dropped a bucket-full of ice cold water on me.

Stacey flung herself at me. Her arms wrapped around me. "I love you too!!"

That's when my eyes fell on Alex. She sat on a bed nearby, completely frozen. So many expressions crossed her face. But the most prominent of it all was hurt.

Oh god no!

What have I done?

Did I accidently confess my feelings for Alex to Stacey instead? So now Stacey thought I liked her? Wait, so Alex thought I like Stacey?

Oh crap.
