She was out to breakfast with her family. "I'll call you when I get back home." She said.
"Okay." I said and hung up.
I drove to Alex's apartments and called him. He answered mumbling something.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Ally, hi." He said clearing his throat.
"I'm near your apartments. Is it okay if I come over?" I asked.
"Yeah, of course." He said.
"Is Cailin there?" I asked.
"I don't know. I made her sleep on the couch. She might have left by now, but I'm not sure. I havn't gotten up yet. I hope she's gone though." He said, "I'll meet you at the door."
"Okay, be there in a minute." I said.
"Okay." He said.
I walked up to his door and knocked. He opened it quickly and I walked in. "Shh." He said pointing to the couch. Cailin was asleep still. We walked quietly to his bedroom. "Ally, I was tossing and turning all night thinking about you." He said as he shut the door and locked it. I put my arms around his neck and he smiled. He put his arms around me. "Ally, I like you so much that it scares me." He said. He pulled me close to him and I could feel his heart beating. It was beating fast.
"Really?" I asked smiling.
He nodded.
"I was the same way." I told him.
"I feel like I shouldn't be. I know you are so much younger, but you don't seem like it. I really like being around you." He said.
"Thank you. What are we going to do? I don't want you to lose your job or anything." I told him. He sat down on the bed, and motioned for me to sit down next to him.
"We'll keep things on the down low while you are still in school. You aren't in my class anymore, but you are still a student at the school. Maybe I could transfer to the other college or something." He said.
"But it's 3 hours away!" I said.
"I don't know. It was just a thought." He said. I smiled at him and he gave me a huge hug.
"When you think about us, what do you think?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders.
He laughed, "You don't think very highly of us, do you?"
"To be honest, no." I said.
"Me too. One minute, I'm thinking it's impossible. Then, the next minute I'm thinking I really want it to work." He said.
"I always wonder if it's mostly just sexual though." I said.
He nodded, "Yeah, me too."
"Do you think it is?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said.
"Have you ever been in love?" I asked him.
"Yeah." He said.
"I havn't. I don't even know what it feels like." I said laughing.
"You'll fall in love some time." He said.
I smiled, "I hope so."
"So, what do you think we should do?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"I know that I don't want things to move fast." He said.
I nodded.
"If you're looking for a real relationship, then I think you should move on from me." He said.
"Do you think you could ever love me?" I asked.
He shrugged his shoulders. "Couldn't really tell ya." He said.
"Should we just end this now?" I asked him.
"I don't want to. But part of me thinks we should." He said.
"Me too. Why is this so hard?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I guess life is just complicated sometimes." He said.
"Yeah. I guess so." I sighed. He put his arm around me, and I smiled at him.
"You have such a pretty smile." He said.
"The things I am thinking right now are horrible." I said laughing.
"What?" He asked.
I got up and stood in front of him. "One last time?" I asked smiling.
"Definatly." He said.
He layed down and pulled me on top of him. It felt so good to be with him. I didn't want to think of it as being the last time. He started pulling my shirt off when there was a knock at the door.
"Damn it. Hold on, okay?" He said, kissing me.
"I'll be here." I said.
He got up and answered the door.
