Chapter 2
Lexi POV
"What do you want?" I ask as I was sitting outside in the middle of the night watching the lake with a blanket around me to make sure I didn't get a cold from the cold air around me.
"Well it's the middle of the night and you're out here, I didn't volunteer to bunk with a bunch of kids for you to have the room to yourself just for you to be outside." He said as he took a seat next to me.
"Wait what?" I ask looking at him.
"In order for you to get a room all to yourself I had to go sleep in the master bedroom with all the kids for the sisters to have their rooms as well. Trust me there was no way I was bunking with them." He said looking at me and I raise a brow at him.
"Why not? I bet you'd have one hell of a night." I say looking at the lake again.
"I don't know.. it's just, ever since I saw you at that funeral in bright red boots and shades I just haven't been able to look at any other girl the same." He says looking at me as I roll my eyes.
"It's chilly out and you're shirtless, you're gonna get a cold." I say raising a brow at him ignoring his previous statement.
"Then you can share your blanket with me." He said getting closer to me making me shrug my shoulders.
"Well I guess you sacrificed yourself for me so I guess." I say handing him a bit of my blanket for him to wrap around himself while getting close to me.
"I meant it you know?" He says after some time of silence.
"Meant what?" I ask not looking at him.
"That I can't look at other girls the same way I used to since I met you." He says and I stay quiet.
"No girl has ever treated me the way you have and as much as it hurts my ego I like it. I like you rejecting me, and for some reason I even find it cute when you look dorky. Like right now, I'd normally be with a girl with a face full of make up and hair with a whole lot of hair spray, having her on a bed in her underwear if not naked while you, you just have your hair up in a messy ponytail and geek glaces with a crop top and sweats. You don't care about what I think of you and honestly I'm loving it." I glance at him to signal him I was listening.
"You look absolutely beautiful no matter what you wear, and when other girls would be drooling over me right now you just look chill." I roll my eyes.
"You're not that attractive." I say even though he totally is.
"See? You keep turning me down no matter what. Every time you smile or laugh it brings a smile to my lips as well. There's a certain glim to your eyes and for the first time in my life I'm not just looking at a girl's body but the inside.. hell what am I even saying?" He said with a chuckle making me chuckle too.
"Don't know." I answer before looking at him fully in the eyes for the first time.
"I really hope you don't plan on making a move on me." I say before looking away.
"At least not now." I say looking up at the sky.
"Why?" He asked and I take a long breath.
"Because I'm not ready.." I mumble before hugging my knees to my chest.
"I just finished a relationship of a year.. my first relationship ever because he cheated on me. How am I suppose to just trust again after something like that? It's only been a week and oh though I act like I'm fine I still need to keep myself distracted with whatever to keep myself from thinking of what happened." I blur out placing my head on my knees.
"But wouldn't you like to move on?" He asked causing me to glance at him.
"I do, I just don't think a player like you would be the right person to do so." I say and for a second he looks hurt.
"A person like me huh, ouch." He says and I look away.
"I'm sorry it's just.. no offence but you are a player, there's nothing you can tell me right now I would believe a 100% when it comes to you and girls." I say and he sighs.
"I guess you're right on that.. why don't we get to know each other instead?" He asked and I raise a brow at him.
"Get to know each other?" I ask tilting my head to look at him.
"Yeah.. I'll start us off I was raised in Netherlands with my mother who's a drug addict. I'm 16, I had to move in with my dad not that long ago since my mother overdosed and almost died so she's now getting the help she needs. It's true I've never had to work too hard to get a girl and I've never really had a girlfriend but that's because all the girls I've been with are just plain and easy. I like challenges, I like to think of myself as understanding and.. I don't know what else to say." He says making me giggle.
"Alright, I was born in LA into a wealthy family, my mother is a cloth designer while my father owns his own business, I'm captain of the dance club back at my school I'm also 16. I became a model when I was 15 with my mother's cloth and I loved it. I'm also studying music and dancing." I say making him smile.
"I like music too, I'm a horrible dancer but not that bad of a singer, uh what else? I'd like to be a model later on-" We continued to talk for a long while and before I knew it I had fallen asleep.
