I'll Keep You a Daydream Away

Feline’s P.O.V.

I could hear Alex and Maya argue in the living room. The screams were getting louder and I stared down at my plate. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Jack smiling down at me. “Hey don’t worry. It’s not your fault.” He said and I nodded weakly.

I hated the fact that Alex was fighting with one of her best friends because of me, a girl he’d only known for a few days. Jack disappeared to the living room to see how his friends were doing.

I heard a door slam and I minute later both boys came back to the kitchen, but there was no sign of Maya. Alex looked at me and wrapped an arm around me. “Hey, are you okay? I’m sorry you had to hear that. I really don’t know what’s going on with her.” He said. “I-I should go.” I stuttered. “What? Why?” He asked confused. “Alex, I don’t want you fighting with your friend because of me. I could go back to the hotel or something. It’s not a big deal.” I said.

“No, you’re staying. Don’t worry, she’ll come around. She just worried I’ll get hurt or something.” I still wasn’t convinced. “Feline, really don’t worry about it.” He chuckled. “Believe me, once she calms down and gets to know you, you two are going to be best friends.” I giggled a little. “If you say so.”

I looked up to see Jack staring at us. “You two are disgustingly cute together.” He chuckled. I blushed deeply and Alex just laughed. “Thanks.” I mumbled and Jack shot me a grin. “Anyways guys, I’m gonna go. It was nice to meet you Fay. See you two later.” He waved and left.

I cleaned up the kitchen and started to do dishes when Alex stopped me. “Let me do that. Go watch some TV or something. I’ll be right there.” I yawned a little. “Is it okay if I’m going to bed, I’m exhausted.” “Yeah sure.” “Okay, night Alex.” I said and kissed his cheek. “Night Fay.”

I was almost at the stairs when he called my name. “Feline!” I turned around to see Alex coming out of the kitchen.“Yes Alex.” “Do you wanna go do something with me tomorrow?” He asked. “Uhmm.. Yeah sure. What you wanna do?” “That’s a surprise.” He smiled. “Alright then.” I laughed. “Goodnight Alex.” “Goodnight.”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning I was awoken by someone playing with my hair. I blinked a few times and saw Alex laying next to me. “Morning.” He smiled. “What are you doing?” I wondered, still a little sleepy. “Trying to wake you up.” He said while getting up, I could see he was already dressed, and handed me a cup of coffee. “But you look so cute when you’re sleeping so I decided to join you for a little while.”

I blushed and tried to hid it by taking a sip of my coffee. “Oh well…. Thanks for the coffee. Uhm.. could you… leave? So I can get dressed.” I asked. “Oh come on. It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked before.” He chuckled, causing me to blushed even more.

“I… You…. Urgh! Can you please just go?” I begged. “Make me.” He smirked. “Alex!” I whined. He laughed and held up his hands. “Fine! Fine! I’m going.” And left the room.
I just sat on the bed for a little while thinking about everything that had happened. I really liked Alex. Not like like, but like as a friend. How could I not, the guy was sweet, funny, caring and a real charmer.

I thought back at yesterday and couldn’t help but wonder how his other friends and band mates would react to the new that I was pregnant. Jack seemed to take it pretty good, but Maya had gone nuts. But maybe Alex was right and everything would be okay when she calmed down. I decided not to let it bother me and got dressed.

Once I got downstairs Alex had already made breakfast. I sat down at the kitchen table and he put a plate of pancakes in front of me. “So what are we doing today?” I asked before taking a bite. “I was thinking I could show you around town first and we can decide what to do as we go.” He suggested. “Sounds good.” I nodded. “Oh, but we have to be done before 7 p.m.” Alex said. “Why?” “Because we have dinner reservation then.” “Oh.” I mumbled and continued to eat my breakfast, mostly in silence.

“You’re done with that?” Alex asked and took the plate when I nodded. “Go get your stuff so we can go.” I grabbed my bag and we headed out to Alex’s car. “So where are we going first?” I asked once we got in the car. “Well you slept in.” He chuckled and I saw it was already 1 p.m. “We could drive around town, hang at the mall. There’s a park a few blocks from here.”

“Could we go to the mall first? I need to buy a few things.” I asked. “Sure, The mall it is then.” He chuckled and turned right.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of hours later we were back at the house. We’d hung out all day. After spending a few hours at the mall Alex took me to a small park he used to hang out often when he was younger. He’d planned to spend the rest of the time there, but unfortunately the weather wasn’t agreeing. About half an hour after we got there it started raining and we had to go back home.

“Dammit!” Alex cursed. “I really wanted today to be perfect.” He muttered. “Don’t worry about it.” I tried to comfort him. “We can always do it again later. Let’s watch a movie or something until we have to leave for dinner.” I suggested. He agreed and told me to pick out a movie while he was getting drinks from the kitchen.

I popped in a random movie and sat down on the couch. Alex came in a few minutes later and plopped down next to me, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me close to him. “Pirates? Good choice.” He said as the movie started playing. “It was the first one I saw.” I shrugged. “Now shut up and watch to movie.” “Yes Ma’am.” He chuckled, but was quiet after that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Feline!” Alex shouted from downstairs. “Are you almost done?” “I’ll be down in a sec!” I shouted back, putting on a little mascara. “It’s almost 6.30, we have to go now or we won’t be in time!” “Just a second!”

I took one last look in the mirror and decided I looked good enough. I was wearing a simple black dress and a pair of bright red heels. My hair was down and a little wavier than normal. I just finished doing my make-up and grabbed my purse before heading downstairs.

“Finally! I thought we would never lea…..” Alex started to say, but stopped once he saw me. He started at me, his mouth opening and closing a few times, but no sound come out. “What?” I panicked. “Is something wrong? Do I look weird?” He shook his head slowly. “No! Of course not! You look beautiful.” “That’s because you haven’t seen me in anything other than a pair of jeans and T.” I waved it off. “Come on, or we’re gonna be late.”

“So I was thinking” Alex said once we were on our way to the restaurant. “maybe we could catch a movie afterwards?” “Uhm, I guess.” I mumbled. Dinner? A movie? This was starting to feel an awful lot like a date. Was this a date? No. He would of told me is it was right? We were just friends, hanging out.

I wanted to ask Alex about it so badly, but was afraid to. What if I was wrong. Then it would make this so awkward. I decided to keep my mouth shut and just enjoy dinner.

But I couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable the whole evening. The whole date thing kept bothering me. We decided not to go to the movies afterward, or rather I decided by telling Alex I was tired. He merely nodded and drove us back home. The ride home was filled with an awkward silence neither one of us was trying to break.

When we got back to the house I was about to go upstairs, but Alex stopped me. “Did I do something wrong?” He asked softly, his voice almost sad. I wondered if I should tell him what was worrying me, but decided against it. Instead I asked him something else that was on my mind. “Why are you doing this?” I whispered. “Do what?” He asked confused. “Being so nice to me? Letting me stay with you. Taking me out. I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me.”

“What? Feline, how can you even think that? You think I’m being nice because I feel sorry for you?” He was astonished. “I’m being nice to you, because I like you. I want us to be friends. I like spending time with you. That’s why.”

I couldn’t help but smile a little. “Thank you Alex.” He laughed and hugged me. “That’s what’s been bother you all night?” He asked. I nodded. “You should have told me. I was worried I did something wrong.” “I will next time.” I promised.

I looked up at his smiling face and almost drown in his beautiful brown eyes. He bend down a little more and I shifted my body so I could get a little close to him. Our lips were merely inches apart when I realized what was about to happen.

I quickly pulled away, blushing a deep red. “Uhm. I-I’m gonna go. To bed! I’m going to bed. I’m tired.” I rambled. “Thank you. For today. I had so much fun. So uhm.. yeah thanks.” I continued to stuttered and nearly ran into a table in my hurried attempt to get away from him.
Alex stared at my with an odd expression, confusion clearly in his eyes. I said goodnight and hurried up to my room. I closed to door quickly and slit down to the floor.

What the fuck did just happened? Had I really been only seconds away from kissing Alex!? I didn’t like Alex did I? I mean you he was a good looking boy and maybe I was attracted to him in a way, I mean I did sleep with him. But I didn’t like him like that right? Or did I?

My head was spinning and I didn’t know what to do. In the end I decided it simply didn’t matter how I felt about Alex. Because whether I like him or not Alex would never fall for someone like me.
