My Own Seat : Part 15

"Wakey wakey!" I heard a voice say loudly. I sluggishly got up and started to rub my eyes before yawning. As my vision cleared, I could see Jennifer dressed in her nightgown but neatly groomed. Oh right. Yesterday Alex and I got home late and his family was already home. I was a little moody so I just crashed in Jennifer's room after slipping into an oversized t-shirt which came from who-knows-where.
"Jennifer?" I asked, making sure.
"Obviously," she said, her round eyes shining, "Anyways, you surprised me yesterday. Suddenly barging into my room, asking for a shirt to slip into and sleeping without saying anything. What happened? Don't tell me you got into a fight with Alex right after your spectacular show in the party."
"It's not like we're in a fight.He has a problem with how I act, basically."
"Are you serious? A lover's quarrel already?"
"We're not lovers!"
"Uh hello, you guys are engaged? How are you not lovers? Plus, yesterday I think there were sparks in the 'I do' moment. You guys are so obviously in love it's funny to watch you fight," Jennifer laughed. I snorted.
"Well how bout you and Trevor? You two seem compatible," I teased. She blushed almost immediately. I grinned. I knew there was something there.
"That's not it, Trevor's just a childhood friend. I just hang out with him a lot because I hang around Lexie all the time when we were kids."
"And that's how you fell in love with your brother's best friend..."
"That's, that's ..... urghhh oh my gosh is it that obvious?"
"It sure is."
"The thing is, Trevor only sees me as a little sister."
"I wouldn't be so sure if I were you," I muttered.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." It wouldn't have been fun to ruin the tension between those two. I've read books that have the same storyline before. Those are interesting.
Just as I began to get out from bed, Alex came in. He looked at me and his face reddened.
"Today's a Sunday. Do you want me to take you home? You've been away for two days," he said, looking down. I felt my heart drop. Right, I have to go home. I looked down sadly.
"Fine, wait for a minute. I'll get changed quickly," I said quickly and stood up.
"Your clothes are in the bathroom," Jennifer said. I went to the bathroom without saying anything. I took my clothes and got changed quickly. Leona will be so mad at me. Usually she wouldn't care but I forgot to call her yesterday.
"Let's go," I said, going out the room. Alex followed behind me. I can't even face him after yesterday night.
"Uhm, Liz can you tell me the adress of your house?" he asked as soon as we got into the car. I took a pen and wrote it on a piece of tissue. Isn't there anything better to write on? I gave the badly written adress to Alex. It's up to him to decipher that, because I sure as hell am not going to talk to him. He seemed to get the message and started driving. I just looked at my transparent reflection on the window. It's so obvious that I cried a lot.
"You know, you don't have to be embarassed in front of me," Alex said suddenly. I saw my face turn red. Such bad timing! Doesn't he have another way and time for saying that?
"I fucking hate you," I replied, muffling my mouth with the sleeves of my hoodie.
"I know."
"I can't believe yesterday happened."
"Me too."
"I don't want you to tell others about that."
"I won't."
We both stayed silent hearing only the sounds of the car's machine.
"Did you regret having me as your fianceé?" I asked randomly.
"Not one bit," he replied immediately.
