“Goodnight, Alex,” I murmur, taking off my seatbelt. He drove us both back home, parking my car perfectly in the driveway. He signals towards the dashboard of the car and grins. The clock reads six am.
“Good morning, hermosa.”
I giggle at him, biting down on my lower lip. I don’t know what it is about him, I feel carefree and alive when he’s around. He reaches over and takes hold of my hand unexpectedly, his warmth spreading through me immediately.
“Tell me your plans for the day,” he says quietly, his thumb drawing circles on the back of my hand. I shiver and close my eyes, looking away from him. I can’t do this, I can’t do this to Justin. No matter what he’s done, he’s still my boyfriend. I slowly pull my hand free from Alex’s hold, if he’s hurt by it, he doesn’t show it.
“My parents are away on Sunday so I have the house to myself for once. I’m planning on having a chilled day today and I have a appointment tomorrow for an apartment I’ve had my eye on.”
“Parents?” Alex questions.
“Adoptive parents. It doesn’t feel right calling them by their first name so it’s just Mum and Dad.” Alex nods slowly.
“You don’t mind calling two strangers Mum and Dad?”
I shake my head, feeling the hole inside my chest begin to increase again.
“I don’t have any trouble calling Peter my Dad. He’s great… It’s Judy. It’s hard calling her my Mum. I can’t call one Dad and not call the other Mum, I don’t want to hurt them. They’re good people who took me in when they didn’t have to”
I explain, pain invading my chest. It squeezes my throat so it’s hard to get the words out and form them correctly. Alex senses my pain and he reaches over, almost as if he’s about to take hold of my hand again but he doesn’t. He drops it back down to his side, clearing his throat.
“An apartment. You’re moving out?” Alex asks, changing the subject. I smile gratefully at him, feeling the hold on my throat begin to loosen.
“Yes, I need to move out. I have to get my own space, I’m twenty and still living with my parents,” I chuckle embarrassingly. Alex smirks at me, shaking his head.
“I’m twenty one living with my Papa. Nothing embarrassing about that, hermosa.”
“You never get the urge to move out?” I ask, my eyebrow raised. I’ve never known anyone around my age to enjoy living with their parents.
“I’m loyal to my father but to answer your question, yes. I do get the urge to move out and maybe one day I will.” He smiles, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel. Outside the car, the sun is beginning to rise, sucking the darkness and replacing it with light.
“I have to go,” I say quietly, opening the passenger door and climbing out. Alex mirrors my actions before tossing the keys to the car over it. I catch them effortlessly and Alex smirks, his eyes drifting down my body shamelessly. I can feel my body squirm underneath his gaze and he chuckles, knowing the effect he’s having on me.
“You’re impressive hermosa,” he drawls out, turning around lazily and sauntering off down the street. I watch him go, unable to tear my eyes off him.
“Alex!” I yell just as he’s about to turn the corner. He spins around, dark eyes spariding at me even from the distance.
“I had fun tonight,” I smile at him and the corner of his mouth tugs upwards into a smile. Despite almost being beaten and kidnapped, it was one of the best nights I’ve ever had. The danger excited me, bringing me to life.
“Me too beautiful, me too!” He yells back before disappearing. I almost immediately miss his presence, his confidence and his scent. I miss the danger he comes with and the way he makes my body react with a simple look.
“Alejandro,” I whisper, the name rolling off my tongue. I smile, fiddling with my car keys before turning around and entering the house.
