Alice turns around and runs head first into Chris. Chris was her old tutor when she was about 10 she had a MAJOR crush. He was the only guy other than Jesse that she had ever seen and had a crush on. The other guys she met were ugly, old, or mean.
“Alice? Is that you?”
What Alice didn’t know was that Chris had like her too when she was 10 he was 13. He liked the way that she was so down to earth. She always made him smile whenever he came to tutor her.
“Chris? Hey! Yeah, it’s me Alice. Wow, it’s been so long since I last saw you.”
“Yeah, what has it been 4 years?”
“Close, 3. Wow. How have you been? What are you doing here?”
Alice’s Dad found out that she had a crush on him when she was 12 so he fired him; he did not want his daughter to fall in love with someone that he didn’t approve of, and he defiantly did not approve of Chris at least as a King. He was a conniving and violent person; and just the way he looked at her sometimes would creed him out.
“I’ve been good. I just came here to give you a ride to wherever you need to go. What are you doing here?”
The way he said it made her smile for some reason his European accent, gorgeous blue-green eyes, stunning smile, and obvious good looks still had an effect on her.
“Um… I’m actually going to The Lake with my friend um….”
“Jesse! Hi, my names’ Jesse. I’m the one that’s been taking her places. So no thank you we don’t need your car.”
Alice’s head just snapped right to Jesse, it was the first time her eyes had moved from Chris’ face since she had first seen him again.
“If you would excuse us a minute Chris that would be great… WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!? He has a car, he’s offering to give us a ride to The Lake.”
“Alice do you hear yourself? You haven’t seen this guy since you were 12 that is 3 whole years, he could be a serial killer for all you know. You don’t know the guy anymore. Plus this whole adventure was suppose to be just you and me if you bring your boyfriend along I’m going to be stuck a third wheel.”
“Oh, Jesse you won’t… Wait, did you just say boyfriend does that mean you think he likes me?”
Chris walks over to them, hearing their whole conversation, by the way she got excited when Jesse said “boyfriend” he knew she liked him too. Of course he knew that, that Jesse guy liked her too, so that meant a challenge for him. And there is nothing that excited Chris more then a challenge.
“I don’t mean to be rude but we should be going if you want me to get you there before sundown.”
“Yeah, no problem. You’re right we should be going. Come on Jacob.”
“Jesse. Remember Alice, my names Jesse.”
“Yeah sorry. I know that, I was just distracted.”
