Chapter 6
Alex
I smile to myself as Xavier and I head to the men's room. Before we head out to the next part of the date we wanted to make sure we were good to go. I have to admit I haven't had this much fun in a long time. She is just so open with us and is being herself. There is no hidden agenda or games being played. she is the most genuine person I have met in a very long time.
"I see that shit eatin grin on your face, my friend. You really like her." I look over a smirking Xavier.
"Yeah, I do. She is just unlike any girl I've been around in a really long time. I thought that I had given up on finding the one but she makes me hopeful." I smile even bigger saying this.
"Cut the crap! She is the one!" I turn and look at him with one eyebrow raised.
"You can't possibly know that yet." He has b=to be insane to think that someone I have known for one day is my one and only.
"Alex, listen to me man. I have known you for a very long time and I can tell that this girl is different from any girl you have ever been with. You have a look in your eye that has never been there before. You may not realize it yet but you just found your future wife." He slaps my shoulder and walks into the restroom.
Could he possibly be right? I mean she is amazing and I felt an instant connection to the girl yesterday. Maybe I should be open to the possibility that this is it, the one I've been looking for.
Mae
The guys walk off as Chelsea and I head in the other direction. Everyone wants to have things in line for our next adventure. I have enjoyed our time together and I am excited to see where we go next.
"Chelsea I have to be honest with you and apologize. I misjudged you yesterday and for that I am sorry." She smiles and takes my hand in hers. She shakes it and smiles even bigger.
"Forgiven, but I was kinda a bitch at times. I have to act a certain way in front of my mother. It sucks growing up in a family like mine. Xavier has helped me to understand that I don't want to be like my family. I enjoy the simple things in life and being constantly in the eye of society is horrible. What I wouldn't give to have grown up like you in a family that wasn't always concerned with how they look to everyone else." I smile and squeeze her hand.
"Friends?" I ask. She smiles and nods in return.
"By the way, you have done a number on Alex. I have never seen him so smitten with a girl ever. He has always felt out of place around our friends since he grew up in a middle-class family. He doesn't let the fact that he makes great money now go to his head. He takes care of his family and saves for the future." She says as we enter the restroom. No one is in here so she continues.
"He has tried dating but he seems to attract the same type of slow-minded, somewhat slutty, and stuck-up gold diggers. He had lost all hope of finding someone that he could see a future with. But you are the one that I think he could be with forever."
"Woah, wait. We just met yesterday. I have like the worst luck with men. My last man who is now an ex-fiancé cheated on me. I have no desire to be hurt again. I can't rush into anything." I say with a flush on my face.
"Mae, Alex would be the last guy who would ever hurt you. I know that I may be rushing things here but I just want you to be open to the idea that he could be your happily ever after. I'm not saying sleep with him today and marry him tomorrow, but just give it a chance. I saw a connection between you two today. It wasn't one of those short-lived I just wanna sleep with you things. It was a bond that was forming. Please just open your heart to the chance of love."
I couldn't help but feel like she was right. I know that so far my love life has truly sucked balls but Alex does seem different from any other guy I have been around. He reminds me of Max in that he is someone that I could talk to about just about anything and could still have fun with. Maybe I should just let go of all my inhibitions and just let it happen.
Alex
We all met out front of the restaurant and wait for Xavier to tell us where we are going next. I am just as in the dark as Mae and I think that the asshat is enjoying keeping me in the dark.
"Next we need to stop by a store and grab a couple of blankets. We are going to watch a movie in the park." Chelsea squeals with delight and Mae laughs at the scene. Chelsea launched herself into his arms and kisses him.
"Thank you, Babe! I always wanted to do this!" She yells as people start to stare at the two of them.
"They are too cute. They kinda make me wanna puke." Mae laughs. I join in because I too have that feeling at times.
"Wanna see if we can outdo them on the mushy stuff?" I ask with an evil smirk on my face.
"What do you have in mind?"
"Well only what your comfortable with but I want to embarrass the hell out of them," I say with my smirk moving into a full blow devil smile.
"Oh your on. Anything less than sex is a go." Her smirk was possibly the evilest thing I had ever seen. I knew at that moment we were going to have a blast.
We start walking down the block and head into a store. We all walk off to the blankets and sure enough, there are a few people on the isle.
"Pooky bear so you think this blanket will be enough? I know how much you like to roll in the hay." Mae says with a suggestive look on her face.
"Only if you promise to be wearing that pink set that I bought you," I say back and walk over and grab her butt.
Everyone in the radius of us turns and stares. Xavier's mouth is hanging open and Chelsea doesn't look much better. I take the chance and look Mae in the eye asking if this will be ok with her. She winks and suddenly attacks my mouth. It is a total mess with her tongue and my licking eat other all over the place. This was in no way an actual kiss, this was two people trying to gross out everyone around them.
I could hear gasps and omg's from the other people on the aisle while Xavier just stands there speechless. Chelsea starts giggling and I feel Mae starting to crack up as well. I bring it to the next level as I tap her. Butt and she jumps up into my arms with her legs wrapped around my waist. We keep going at it while I roll us in circles along the shelves.
I have never in my life done anything this crazy and I must say that it feels good. This girl brings out the playful side of me that I thought I had lost a long time ago. I was beyond happy and I can't wait to feel like this again.
"Ok. Ok. We get it you two." Chelsea says. We pull apart and look at them and start laughing.
"I have never been more confused and embarrassed for another person in all my life." Xavier says shaking his head. "I also wanted to puke."
"Now you know how I feel around you two all the time." I say smirking.
Mae jumps down and smiles at me. I feel my heart flutter a bit and I know at this moment that I will be falling hard for this girl. There is no doubt in my mind that she will make my life worth living. I know it is too quick and that I don't know anything much about her, but I want to. I want to know all of her and that is not only a scary thought but also an exciting one.
"Well now that we have embarrassed you both and grossed out the rest of the store let's go." Mae says grabbing two blankets and heading up to the register.
The rest of the date is awesome. We sit and watch a movie and enjoy the time together. We whisper back and forth getting to know one another and it feels like we are back in high school trying to not get caught talking in class. We break apart after that and I walk Mae home.
"So I know that I asked early but do you want to go out on a date with just the two of us?" For some reason, I am nervous about asking this.
"I would love to. I mean I did lick your face earlier." She says chuckling.
"How about Friday night?" I ask as we walk up the stairs to her door.
"That would be great. Hand me your phone." I do as she asks and she types in her number and sends herself a text. "Let me know what time and if there is a dress code." She smiles and I feel myself blush a little.
"Good night Mae." I lean to the side and kiss her on the cheek. She has a look on her face and I know she is wondering why just the cheek. "I wanna save the first real kiss for when you can't standing waiting anymore."
"Good night Alex."
