girls got into Holly’s car and buckled their belts. Dev turned to wave at him, with a knowing smile. He returned the wave.
“Bye girls. Have a great day!” He said.
“Bye Alex!” Riss and Kayla chorused from the back seat, giggling.
Holly drove away, without looking back at him and he disappeared into the house.
She definitely reacted to me. She still looked away, but I definitely saw something.
Alex was still smiling to himself when he went to get his gear ready for the gym.
Oh my God! Holly thought to herself as she drove down the road.
How could he look so sexy in just jeans and a T-shirt?
Her heart had been thundering like a bass drum in her chest since seeing Alex at the door. The black v-neck T-shirt that fitted across his chest like it was his own personal creation. The sleeves hugging his biceps that made her feel jealous of the fabric. His dark blue faded jeans hung loosely on his hips and his thighs stretched out the denim to perfection.
“What’s with Alex?” Kayla’s voice broke into Holly’s thoughts.
“Yeah.” Said Riss. “He’s never waved us off from the door before.”
“Usually it’s from the window.” Added Kayla.
“I think he’s trying to make an effort”. Dev said, but Holly saw a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth that said she knew something else.
“He doesn’t have to try. He’s one of the sweetest guys at school.” Said Riss.
Holly felt an unwelcome pang in her stomach. She didn’t like that feeling at all.
“Are you ok Holly?” Dev asked as Holly had fallen silent.
“Oh…Yeah…Where to first?” she asked, trying to keep the subject away from Alex.
“How about the mall?” asked Kayla.
“Or the park” asked Riss.
“We could go there later, when everywhere else get busier.” Said Dev. “How about the Seattle Centre? There’s lots to do in there. They have a great arts and entertainment centre, and they even have their own park.”
“That sounds great!” Holly replied with enthusiasm. The centre did sound like fun. It could help to take her mind off other things. “How do I get there?”
“It’s just north of Belltown” Dev replied. “Have you seen the space needle?”
“Yeah. My Mum had Dad took me the first week we arrived.” Holly said.
“It’s near there.” Dev said as she programmed Holly’s Sat Nav.
The girls drove around, and they visited the Seattle Centre, the restaurant in the Space needle and they visited the mall on Pine Street.
They had such a good time; Holly hardly thought about Alex. Well, she had, but the girls had her so engrossed in conversation that she had to exert extra energy to keep focused on them.
Alex was out with the guys, at their usual eatery, when he felt three pairs of eyes fixed on him.
“What’s up with you today dude?” Kyle asked.
“What?” asked Alex as if he didn’t know what was going on.
“You’ve been zoning out. Seriously, have you even been listening?”
“Sorry. I’ve got a few things on my mind. What were you saying?” Alex said as he shook his head.
“I said that the new action movie we wanted to see is on in the next half hour. Do you want to go see it?” Kyle said with a smirk.
“Oh yeah, sure. What about you guys?” Alex asked Ben and Ryan.
“We’ve already said yeah; man” Ryan chuckled.
They stood from their seats and as they walked out of the restaurant, Ben nudged Alex.
“What’s up? You’ve been like this since Monday.”
“Nothing, man.” Alex replied with a shrug.
“Yeah whatever” Ben said with a knowing smile.
“Seriously, Ben, nothing’s up so can we drop it?…please?”
“Sure” said Ben, a little mischievously.
They walked into the movie theatre, got their tickets and popcorn, and made their way to the screening room.
“Bye girls. Have a great day!” He said.
“Bye Alex!” Riss and Kayla chorused from the back seat, giggling.
