Along For the Ride
Chapter Two Part Three
“You don’t look happy?” Alec asks looking at me.
“That was my dad, he can’t make it.”
“That sucks”
“Yeah” I say while pushing my stool back, careful to make sure no one is behind me this time, and slide down. As I’m turning to grab my purse, I notice a handful of girls over in the corner anxiously start at Alec, probably trying to figure out how to come hit on him. He notices them too and quickly looks away.
“You know what? I don’t think my friends is going to show. I’ll walk you out.” He takes my hand and smiles. The spot where he’s holding my hand tingles and there is a noticeable uptick in the beat of my heartbeat. Alec guides me through the lounge and out into the lobby. It’s even busier in here then when I arrived and when we push through the front doors and step outside, I’m startled to see a large crowd has formed. A dozen men with large, expensive looking cameras are standing at attention on the sidewalk, eyes trained on a limo pulling to stop at the curb. Seconds later two big stars emerge from it. It’s not like I am not used to seeing stars but one is Stacy Summer, who stars in one of my favorite TV shows and the boy I do not recognize but they hold hands while walking towards the restaurant. I take a minute to notice that Alec is starting in the complete opposite direction, almost like he is trying to say hidden.
“Alec, looks its Stacy Summer.” I say, he turns around giving me a puzzled look.
“You recognize her?” He asks shock.
“Well of course I do, she’s a huge star. “ I say with a huge grin. Alec looks at me with disbelief. I then take notice that they have pulled around my Range Rover.
“Well, that’s my ride.” I touch Alec’s shoulder and motion I’m leaving.
“Good idea. Should get out of here.” He nods. I’m a little surprised when he follows me. We reach the driver’s side of my range rover and I pull the door open.
“So, it was really nice meeting you Alec.”
“Yeah, you too.” He says but his eyes are darting left to right and avoiding mine.
“Hey wait a minute,” some calls. “Isn’t that?” Some of the photographers are backing away from Stacy. I peer around, trying to figure out what they are looking at. I notice Alec’s lip tighten, then his eyes squeeze shut. But a second later his face relaxes and his eyes flutter open bore down into my own. He reaches his and toward me and before I know what is happening, he’s pulling me into him, wrapping his arms around me and pressing his lips to my cheek.
**Feedback would be awesome. This was the final part for Chapter Two**
