I'm Alright Like This

"So Lucy, I was wondering if you were doing anything tonight? I'd love to hang out with you and get to know you." Alex said smoothly. 
"Uhm yeah sure. That'd be cool." I said calmly. I was yelling at myself in my head because he had the manwhore reputation and I swore I'd never fall for one.
"Okay," he smiled. "Want me to come back at around 7?"
"7's good. See you then." I nodded then saw him open his arms for a hug. For some reason that I can't explain, I hugged him after just meeting him.

We exchanged numbers then he left so we could both get ready. I walked up to my room and stared at my closet. What was I supposed to wear to hang out with a guy I was trying my best not to fall for? I skimmed through all my clothes then found a nice plaid blue shirt and denim skirt. I took off what I had on then pulled on then went to the bathroom to do my make up. I did it normally but with more eye shadow than usual, then straightened my mess of hair until it looked as decent as it could. As I finished, Alex texted me.

From: Alex G
Hey Luce it's Alex. I'm heading over to your place so I'll be there in 5. See you then.

My heart raced a little when I saw he called me Luce, but I don't know why. I like Sam. I don't like Alex. I can't like Alex.

---------Later that night---------
I like Alex.

We were sitting on his couch after having a cute dinner, walk on the beach, and a lot of deep conversations. We had a lot in common. I was sitting next to him with his arm around my shoulders and was calm on the surface but screaming and freaking out underneath.

"Hey Luce?" he said softly.
"Yeah?" I turned my head to face him.
"I had fun tonight." he smiled.
"I did too." I returned the smile as he leaned in and gently pressed his lips to mine. I kissed back and after a few seconds, he was laying me down on the couch while his tongue begged my lips for an entrance. I tangled my legs in his and my fingers in his hair as I let his tongue slide into my mouth. 

He had one hand on the back of my neck and the other on my hip but it was starting to roam. He slid it down my leg and as soon as his fingers touched my skin, I could feel goosebumps forming under the sparks. It was like he could tell that this was the best kiss of my life because he kept pulling my body closer to his and deepening our kiss. He started kissing my neck and I couldn't help but to let a small moan escape my lips. I could feel him smile as he made his way down my collar bone. I suddenly felt a bulge in his pants as he moved around a little. I could do that on the first date.

"Alex, before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's calm down. And please know thats one of the hardest things I've ever said." I said letting go of my tight grip on his shirt.
"I understand." he said catching his breath. He looked at his phone. "Shit, it's kind of late. Should I drive you home?" he said sitting up.
"Sure if you want to." I sat up and immediately missed the warmth of his body on mine.

He drove me home and walked me to my door. We stopped when we got there and I couldn't help but smile.

"Best first date of my life." he smiled and I nodded in agreement.
"Best first kiss of mine." I laughed a little.
"Well hopefully you like me enough to go on another date soon." he smiled holding my hand. 
"I think the odds are in your favor." I smiled. "This whole pretending to date thing might not be too hard."
"A pretty girl like you makes it so much easier." he took his other hand and tucked some hair behind my ear then held my face as he kissed me. I kissed back and leaned on my front door. When we were almost at the point of another make out session, he pulled away. 
"Can I see you tomorrow?" he whispered as he held his face close to mine.  I nodded as I tried to catch my breath after the kiss.

He kissed me softly one more time then walked back to his car as I walked inside. I saw that Jenny was asleep on the couch as I made my way to the kitchen. The clock in there told me it was 12:14 in the morning. I climbed the stairs and flopped onto my bed. 

I most definitely like Alex.

To: Sam
Hey kiddo! So I met Alex last night. He's a pretty good guy, nothing like his reputation. And I'm really sorry but he said he'd rather we not see other people. Don't worry, you still have a chance after we break up :)

It took me 45 minutes to write that. As soon as I hit send, there was a knock at my front door and I opened it to see Alex smiling before he grabbed my face and pulled it to his. He kicked the door closed as he put his hands on my hips. We crashed into the wall and started laughing.

"Hi Alex. I'm good thanks. Nice to see you too." I laughed.
"Hi Lucy. It's fantastic to see you." he smirked as he squeezed my waist.
"I'm home alone you know. We can go upstairs and pick up where we left off last night if you want." 
"I was hoping you'd say that." he kissed me then I led the way up to my room. 

I woke up a little later to see Alex's naked body laying next to mine and I surprisingly wasn't mad. His back was facing me so I sat up and leaned over him and kissed his arm. He moved a little until I was fully leaning over him.

"Well this is a great thing to wake up to." he smiled and leaned up for a kiss. I kissed him softly.
"You're a good guy to fall asleep with." I returned the smile.
"You just complimented my face and sex at the same time. I'm impressed." he laughed.
"Do you think it's weird that we slept together the second time we see each other?" I asked softly.
"I'm sure as hell not complaining."

I shrugged as we laid in bed for a few more hours just talking. We really got to know each other which was awesome, but I wish it was before we slept together. After a while, he got a text from his tour manager saying they had a meeting. We both got up and found our clothes that were scattered around my room. I walked him down to the door and he just smiled at me.

"I'll call you later?" he said pulling me close to him so our hips were touching.
"Sure if you want to. I have a bunch of phone interviews to do today so I'll be home."
"Maybe I'll bring the guys by so they can meet my girlfriend, if you still want to be." 
"Trust me, I still want to be." I smiled. We kissed kind of a lot before he left. 

We've been dating for a day and a half and I'm already meeting his friends?
