Chapter 10

“Well, if you’re a runner it’s not a bad idea, they’re pretty dedicated. I’ve thought about going with them, but never really did.”

“Just something to consider, then,” she said, smiling and now giving my knee a squeeze. “Well, I’ll go back upstairs and leave you to your, um, business. Your mom bought some European-style coffee for me and I’m going to make some, if you want any.”

She then turned and wiggled her way up the stairs. This was the first time I noticed she was wearing her tank top and boxers from the night before. And it still looked completely amazing on her.

Once she was gone, I sank bank onto my bed, my hands over my voice and groaning in despair. Why thehelldid she have to come down at that moment? I couldn’t even remember what I was dreaming about now! All I could picture was my boner and her looking on in bemusement, wondering what sort of pervert I was.

I slung my feet out of bed and trudged my way toward the bathroom. Taking a leak didn’t help, so I began running my hands under ice-cold water from the faucet and stared at the toilet brush. Soon enough, my third leg was gone and I could safely go upstairs. I put on a robe and shuffled up to the kitchen, where Alexa was making the strong-smelling coffee. She beamed a lovely smile at me and came over to give me a hug.

“Good to see you, Alex,” she whispered in my ear. “Thanks for coming up.”

“No problem,” I replied, hugging her back. “Sorry about earlier.”

“I told you, silly, no worries.” Alexa said, smiling at me now and releasing me to continue making coffee. I was glad to see she’d also put on a robe, which was probably a good idea for when my folks got home. She was wearing it somewhat loosely and the swell of her bosom pulled the top apart and definitely created some cleavage.

She finished the coffee and poured us each a large cup. I was amused when she added sweetened condensed milk to hers, but apparently it was something she’d learned in Thailand, so I just ran with it. Me, I took my coffee black. We leaned against the kitchen island and conversed for a few minutes, perfectly comfortable with our proximity to one another, no more than two feet apart.

“Hey, may I asked you something?” Alexa interjected. I nodded my assent. “Well, I’m crazy about taking pictures in my life and I have absolutely none of you or the two of us. May I take our very first picture together?”

I nodded again and she seemed very pleased. She fished a small cellphone out of her robe pocket and then came over to me and snuggled into my side. She held the camera up over us and snapped a few pictures. On the last one she turned her head and kissed my cheek, causing my eyes to go wide and her to giggle.

But then we heard the front door opening and I immediately retreated to the far side of the island, where I sat on a stool and continued drinking my coffee. Alexa winked at me right before my parents came in.

“Hey, you!” my mom said brightly as she saw her sister. She and dad were both wearing their jogging sweats and judging by the look of them, they’d run to the moon and back, they were both soaked. Regardless, Alexa hugged them both and offered to make them coffee. They said maybe after they showered and changed, since they were both sweating messes. But then my mom saw me sitting on the far side of the island, as far away as I could be while still technically inhabiting the kitchen with them.

“Alex!” mom scolded, giving me a look. “Act like a higher primate and get over here and be sociable! Have you even said one word to your aunt yet?”

“Yeah,” I said plainly. “She was telling me all about Thai coffee right before you got home.”

“All the same, quit being such a grump and join the rest of us!” mom said firmly. I sighed and pulled up a seat closer to them, now part of the group. Mom nodded, finally satisfied with my efforts to be sociable.

“Okay, Mike and I are going to go get cleaned up and then we’ll be back. Alex, be a gracious host for a change and talk to your aunt.”

With that, the two of them went upstairs and we waited until we heard the door to their bedroom close. Once it did, Alexa exhaled and giggled.

“Nice acting there, Olivier,” she quipped reaching over and tousling my hair. “I think you’ve got them completely fooled.”

“Thanks,” I replied, pleased for whatever reason with her reaction. “As long asyouknow it’s just an act.”

“I wouldn’t if I weren’t in on the the gag,” she said, grinning. “I guess my part is to just pretend to be patient, right?”

“I have no idea, to be honest,” I admitted. “I’ve never pretended to not like a girl before.”

“So you do like me,” she almost purred, grinning again. “Well that’s good to know, because I’d hate to think you were just putting up with me or humouring me.”

“No, I genuinely like you,” I replied. “You’re a lot cooler and more fun than I thought you would be.”

“How do you know I’m cool or fun?” she asked, raising an eyebrow. “We haven’t even left the house since I got here yesterday.”

I shrugged. “No one who’s traveled Europe and sleeps with a webcam trained on them can be boring. I was expecting more of a scholarly dork like my mother, not to mention someone close to her age.”

“Well, thank you, that means a lot to me,” she said, smiling prettily and giving my hand a squeeze. “And I’m finding you quite fun to be around as well. It’s good to already have a friend.”

“Yeah, it is, isn’t it?” I mused, smiling.

“So what do you think we’ll be doing today?” she asked, her hand still on mine.

“I dunno,” I replied, thinking about it. “Do you wanna go with mom and dad to the university and check it out?”

She thought about that. “Well, maybe. Will you come along to show me around?”

I nodded. “Sure, I’d be happy to. My courses finished early last week but there’ll still be lots of people around and it’ll be lively.”

“Perfect!” she exclaimed, clearly delighted to have me along so she didn’t have to meander alone.

We waited for my parents to come downstairs and Alexa gave them coffee. Then she sprang her question.

“So I was wondering if I might accompany you two today to the campus?” she suggested in a tentative voice. “Thought I would give it the once-over, maybe start getting a feel for if it’s where I want to be.”

Mom and dad looked at one another and then back at her. “That’s not a bad idea, Alexa, but we’ll both be busy all day,” my mother said. “We won’t exactly be around to give you a tour.”
