Free Kade Loves Alex by Krystal Holder Page B

we had both taken showers.  She explained
that she had been afraid of falling in love with me, starting a relationship
and then our relationship ending.  She was afraid of losing the friendship
that we had built all these years. 
    If
she only knew that there was no way in hell that I could ever let her go. 
I had already imagined her in a pretty white dress on one of those beautiful
beaches in Belize – the ones that are always showing on the Travel
Channels.  I didn’t want to scare her off so I said instead:
    “I
will never hurt you.  Trust me.”
    After
dropping her off, I walk back into my room, a silly smile on my face.  I
swear , it will take me weeks to stop smiling.  I
have never felt so complete in my entire life.   I had my best
friend, with extra perks.  Lots of extra perks.  
I grin as I think of Alex’s kisses and her body moving over mine.  I
should have kept her captive until tomorrow.
    As
I slip into my bed, I notice some scribbling on one of my walls. I
get up, moving closer to inspect it.  The shape of a heart is outlined
with a black magic marker. In the center of the heart, the words “Alex Loves
Kade” shines.
    She
must have drawn it when I was taking a shower.  No wonder she looked so
mischievous before we left. 
    I
smile as I trace my fingers along her perfect heart with my fingertips.
    She
loves me.  All of these weeks of drama had been worth it.   We
would go to college together, we would be roommates.  We had so much to
look forward to.   So much more to grow.  
With Alex by my side, anything was bearable.
    I
can’t wipe the silly grin from my face as I dive back into my bed, the smell of
Alex enveloping me.
