A Recipe For Disaster

I sighed into Alexander's kisses. Wanting and waiting for more as he held me tighter with every prompting, passionate press of our lips. He pulled away from my tongue and started kissing and inflicting love bites all across my neck and collarbone. All the more better when he found my weak spot. I trembled with pleasure beneath him and every time he softly bit my skin, chills ran down my spine; transparent evidence of how good he was making me feel.

I knew his tongue and teeth were creating at least a dozen love bites on my neck but soon I felt a sort of...runny feeling on my neck, as if he were...drooling?

"Alexander?!"

...............

TIME TO FUCKING WAKE UP!

To my disorientated, retarded, totally down right freaky to the max dream; what happened between us could've and would've escalated further—maybe all the way—but thank God, Alexander had collapsed in a tired sleep next to me, leaving me attempting to calm my rapid beating heart, and the short, heavy breaths as I gasped for air. Plus, OMIGOD, didn't he have AIDS or something?! Ew! After, I had fallen asleep and had the god awful dream that I thankfully awoke from just then!It wasn't that awful; minus the drooling bit and waking up with it actually real!

This time waking up late at night on the same day, had been the strangest yet. It's obvious to say I woke up to something warm and wet tickling my neck. It would've been OK to say Alexander was sucking my neck, but that's not what happened, or what it was. Oh sure, Alexander's face was nuzzled into my neck...but it was his drool that I felt, running down all slobbery and abhorred.

I slapped his face away with great disgust and wiped his drool off in while muttering something along the lines of 'why?! Why couldn't he just choke to death on his saliva instead of drooling on me?!'. As Alexander's sleepy eyes fluttered open, he let out a sigh of pain; I couldn't help but look him over. Cute when sleepy...but just downright disgusting with the drool trailing down his chin.

"Fucking hell, you dickwad! I wake up to find you drooling, on my neck! Keep your fungus filled saliva away from me!" I screeched and grappled out of bed. Totally hypocritical of me when just hours ago we were swapping saliva...

I turned to look at him and suddenly felt like wanting to burst out with laughter. Ever heard of that psychology term: Paradigm Shift? Well, it happened just then. One minute I was ready to murder Alexander for what was seemingly innocent; him drooling on my neck—this makes me officially a mental bitch with anger management problems—to what was adoration...um, adoration for...the way irritating words don't come out of his mouth when he's sleepy! Yeah! If that made any sense...

"Ugh, what happened last night?" He asked with a hint of the same lop-sided lazy, sexy smile from last night and my breath caught in my throat.

Wait...it wasn't last night...

"You idiot! Damn it! It wasn't last night! It was this afternoon! Bloody fuck!" I jumped out of the bed, seeing the digital clock reading 11:36pm, and hurriedly pulled my shirt and shorts on, leaving the Alexander feeling hung over—and don't forget; looking mightyhot confused that I had jumped out of bed in only my bra and undies—as I rushed down the stairs.

"Felix! Felix!" I called out and he emerged in the flesh out from the kitchen arch way.

"What? Is Alexander dead? And why is there's a heap of ashes in the front?" He raised his brow, trying to seem angry with what he came home too, but I just shrugged wordlessly.

"Something happened...while you were out," I started, trying to explain and not blow up.

"You two had hot monkey sex?" He suggested, with a very solemn expression on. What is with his very incorrect—and dirty—suggestions?!

"What?! Hell no! I mean something happened—to do with the heap of ashes outside—that's made me extremely angry with him...and I tried to listen to your advice about not holding a grudge, but it's so hard! It's like Alexander likes me being angry with him..." I trailed off, remembering something that he said about me being sexy while angry. I groaned and rolled my eyes at nothing.

"Just! What are the preparations for the party!? I can't be preparing while Alexander's presence is in the room or else I may go ballistic; so right now, what do I do? One of us has to be absent and we can alternate our helping time because I just can't do it unless he's sleeping or out. And right now...well be my guest and check upstairs," I said and made my way into the kitchen. Alexander was probably trying to retrieve his memory or he fell back asleep. Most likely the latter one.

"For now, just sort the food, please! I'll just bother Alex tomorrow morning; going to buy more stuff. Gotta shower!" Felix called back and made his way his room to wash up.

"No problem-oh?" I murmured to myself, eyes beaming bright with the thought of food. A little song popped into my head: FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD! AUDRINA'S ANXIOUS TO EAT IT! Something like that... The second I saw my beautiful white boxes on the counter, my eyes lit up –more, if that was possible—with pure glee and it was then that I made a whole half of the box my dinner for that night. All the sugar, all the delicious, yummy goodness! And I managed to eat without bloating. Fast metabolism rules.

♠ Alexander ♠

I watched as Audrina jumped out of bed...in her bra and panties?! Much to my surprise she didn't look very sexy with thesexy scowl on her face but if I looked down...oh my god... A bit of pink tinted on my cheeks—I was feeling quite flushed—though she didn't look at me to see my embarrassment. Embarrassment for seeing a girl's body? It's not like it's the first time—plus she wasn't even naked! What is wrong with me?! And now...what happened this afternoon?

I groaned with frustration and slight pain as my mind started to torture me with a headache. I decided to stop my thought process and let my mind slipped back into the beautiful world of unconsciousness.

Waking up at the much too early time of 10:15am, Felix dragged my ass out of bed and forced me to shower; well, actually, he may have shoved me into the bathroom but as I stood under the running water, I could only stand there, zombified, basking in the hot water, attempting to lift my dead weight arms and wash myself.

"Come on we're buying more stuff for next Saturday, will you hurry up?! I can't just do this myself, and Audrina's still sleeping. She's already helped so now it's your turn," Felix said and pushed me into the car, driving out to the city and taking us to the enormous shopping mall.

We parked outside, since we weren't really staying for long and I had to go to the shop down the street anyway. Well, I think that's what Felix instructed...

"Okay, give me at least thirty minutes. I'll meet you back here at quarter to, okay? Mate, are you listening?" He nudged me and I grumbled a reply.

"Don't forget; here's the list." Felix dropped something in my lap and got out of the car, making his way to the entrance of the mall.

Felix went in the direction of the supermarket and I looked around with an apathetic posture. Down the street...going to buy some....TIKI TORCHES?! Why the hell? Today is Wednesday... Felix said something about the party being next weekend. Argh! Why couldn't it be this Saturday?!

I strolled down the street as slowly as I could, blanking out everything that happened since Monday's kiss with Felix. Yesterday was a complete disaster, no use denying that fact, and Audrina pretty much wants to rip my guts out. I saw the sign leading to the restaurant that we dined at last week and I suddenly remembered this was the place near the alleyway where I saw that girl who was potentially drug dealing.

I stepped up my pace until I came to the familiar alleyway, save for its average alleyway look in daytime, what was I thinking? That the girl would be here again?

Sometimes, you never know what hits you. Déjà vu? Not really. Ironic, maybe; But total fate—it must be.

"No wait, I don't have it! I'm sorry, I just wanted to find my—" a girl's voice rang out and I raced to the back of the alleyway, turning the sharp corner and finding a girl—the alleyway girl!—in the clutches of two burly men.

"Let go of her!" I demanded. Who the fuck was I too demand such of these two men? Who possibly worked with drugs and had guns. I kept my fear in place, standing up to these two men; no big deal.

"Not until the pretty lil' lady gives us our money," one of them with a strangely high voice huffed.

"I'll pay you whatever she owes you," I suggested confidently. Though, how much could drugs cost, really? I've never bought any...

"Really? You'll pay us sixty thousand bucks?" The other man spoke up and I looked at him with a 'what the fuck' look. I guess I was surprised by how much the drugs she must've gotten cost.

I was made out of money, so it didn't really bother me. What's sixty thousand to my family's sixty billion? Something along that amount...well I had the money! Whatever!

"Yes, now let the girl go," I demanded louder, with gritted teeth. Wow, I felt like a genuine superhero of somewhat; minus the tights.

They let go and shoved her towards me; I caught her quickly and she fell in my arms.

"You better get that sixty thousand to us by Friday, mate. Or you've just made yourself some big enemies," the high voice one smugly laughed and they disappeared through the rear door.

"What the hell are you doing, buying drugs from a bunch of fuckers?" I snapped at the girl, suddenly angry with the circumstance.

"N-no...not drugs...! I just had to find him... I just needed to find him...!" She gasped and started sobbing. I made her stand properly—although with difficulty as her legs seemed to buckle every time. No time to dwell on her needs; we had to get out of here.

"Listen, come on, our car is here somewhere. You're coming home with us," I murmured as she sighed with relief against me. I just hoped Audrina would take this okay...but, of course she'd help...

Wait, who cares what Audrina thinks? Pfft, not me.

♠ Felix ♠

"Where are those tarts?" I murmured to myself as I scaled and searched the aisle and shelves. Shouldn't I know where things are if I've lived here for over a year? Well, they recently changed the shops to Woolworths and now they've begun setting and stocking things back up—only some things. And there were no signs above to tell me where to find the damn blueberry tarts! As I turned out of the sixth aisle which consisted of packets of chips and soft drinks, a firm body collided against mine and the pair of us stumbled away with an 'ooft'.

"Hey man, sorry about that. Guess I wasn't watching where I went," the guy—I assumed since his voice was deep—apologized. I looked up and cocked my head to the side without thinking.

"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking up. Do you happen to know where the blueberry tarts are?" I asked, hoping I wouldn't have to seek through every damn aisle in search for the tarts.

"No problem, in fact," he held up what were twelve blueberry tarts in a packet. My mouth watered. Okay, so the tarts weren't for the party; they were for me. Just like Audrina loves star bread, I love blueberry tarts. "You can have these ones and I'll just go grab some more. I'm sorry for bumping into you."

He was very sincere and I couldn't help but feel flattered as I took the tarts in my grasp.

"Are you sure?" I bit my lip, even though I had already taken the packet.

"Yeah, it's okay. Blueberry tarts are my favourite and all, but I have no problem getting another," he smiled and I couldn't help but beam at the fact that he shared the same favourite food as me. Am I getting to gay?

"Oh hey..." I had a sudden realization and stared at the guy with inquisitive eyes. "Don’t you work at the restaurant around here?" His eyebrows shot up and his smile broadened.

"Yes, I remember you! Last week, you and your lady friend and that cute guy—" –did he just say cute guy; meaning: Alexander?! Meaning...HE'S GAY!? How could I not have found this very attractive guy, attractive at dinner last week! I then realized my attraction to guy's was triggered when I kissed Alex. I also realized, as I stood in front of him, he was just a slight bit taller than me. I didn't notice he was this tall, even when I sat down at the restaurant table last week. Damn me for not noticing this very attractive male!

"And, I'm Jesse," he introduced himself and a sudden blush crept up onto my face as he stuck out his hand for a shake.

"I-I'm Felix," I stuttered idiotically; his touch almost cause me to shiver with delight, and he just seemed to charm me more with his light chuckle.

"I'll see you around Felix, some time then?" His eyes glowed with light as he grinned and I nodded slowly as we let go.

"Yeah, see you around..."

I walked around in a daze, loitering about as I tried to calm my rapid heart and the images of what he and I could do...together.

..............

I saw Alexander at the car and waved at him.

"You got the tiki torches?" I questioned but all he did was gesture to inside the car. A girl with dark brown hair and pale skin was sitting in he back with her head hung and sniffling a little.

"I, um, I saved her from these two guys. They want money—sixty thousand dollars. I don't know why at this point but I know I can handle it," Alexander nodded towards me and I scowled.

"Sixty thousand? What the fuck have you gotten into in the last thirty minutes?!" I scolded; however, Alexander looked at me as if I was stupid.

"It's been at least an hour in a half. It's a quarter past twelve. I couldn't just leave the girl in our car. Anyway, you go get the torches, though why do we need tiki torches?" He chuckled and I shook my head, rushing to the store down the street that sold tiki torches. Weird how they have this stuff in this city, but they do. And extremely weird how that much time passed? Was I daydreaming about him for that long?

What was his name again? Oh yeah, Jesse. All the way home, instead of listening to Alexander talk about his first encounter with the girl as the she rested; in my mind—I know it’s probably desperate—but I practiced moaning Jesse's name and by god did I want to really moan his name, so badly.

♠ Audrina ♠

I had this sort of cowardly speech I was going to tell Alexander, it went something like this: 'I am so sick of us fighting about shit and whatnot. What happened to our truce? Well, I think we shouldn't speak to each other until the party, because we obviously can't get along. Sorry for being a bitch andsorry you were born and I knowyou don't care about me your'e sick of this too, so, let's not look at each other for now, okay? Great!'

I waited for Felix and Alexander to soon arrive back since I was awake, bored, and kicking my own ass at Wii Sport. When they arrived, not only did they buy more food among other things—like, um, tiki torches?!—they had also brought home a girl! Not just any girl! The same girl I saw standing in front of that grand house just yesterday! Her eyes were wide as she stared up at our house.

"Aren't you the...?" I trailed off as she gave me a pleading look and I shut my mouth quickly. Okay, from here on out, what I saw yesterday was just a figment of my imagination. I subtly nodded and help Felix unpack, keep my eyes away from Alexander the whole time.

"Alex apparently saved her from two guys and now...well, he needs to give them sixty thousand," Felix informed as Alexander led the dejected girl to the lounge.

"Sixty thousand fucking dollars?!" I hissed lowly, but still contemplating that six thousand dollars was nothing compared to our somewhat sixty billion; something like that. "That deranged idiot!"

"All I know is, I don't trust the girl. He also told me, um...something about thinking she was dealing with drugs, I don't know the whole story, because... well I met someone..." Felix trailed off and I raised my brow.

"Girl or guy?" I grinned, momentarily forgetting the situation at hand.

"Guy," he grinned back even wider, and had the far away look in his eyes. Love struck!

"We're are so talking later," I lightly nudged his arm with a wink and silently made my way to the lounge.

My eyes turned into snake slits as I saw Alexander put an arm around the girl in comfort. He whispered something in here ear and she nodded slightly.

No I don't really care...he's trying to be nice, right?

The girl turned in his arms and wrapped her own around him back.

Calm down Audrina. You don't have a problem.... no problem at all.....

♠ Alexander ♠

Audrina helped Felix with the bags, all the while, not meeting my gaze. I still held the other girl and brought her to the lounge, sitting her down and coaxing her to tell me why she was in trouble with those men; and how the hell she ended up fraternizing with them.

"Listen...I'm not going to rush you, but I need to know certain things. But for now, you said something about, finding him? Who is he?" I gently cajoled but she only whimpered and shook her head.

"Will you co-operate with us? We'll help you. Would you like that?" I softly whispered in her ear and as she put her head on my chest I draped an arm over her in comfort. She nodded and turned toward me, wrapping her own arms around me and whispering a very soft thank you.

She wrapped her arms around me as a thank you and I quickly glanced at the reflection of the picture hung on the wall on the other side of the room, then quickly looking away; not before seeing Audrina glaring profusely at us both.
