Roswell Fanatics

Isabel

I heave a sigh of relief when I hear his reply and in my mind I am doing a happy dance.I am crazy!!

"Why,do you?" he asks

Okay so only fair that he'd ask me the same question in return.Trying not to panic and think clearly I weigh the pros and cons of lying or being truthful before answering.

"Well...umm,yes.But I don't know how he feels so I'd rather not say anything to him until he gives me some indication of his interest in me being more than just friendly."

There...that was as close to the truth I could get without being obvious.

Alex

I hear a small sigh of relief, but don't really have time to register why she'd be relieved before she answers my question.

"Well...umm,yes.But I don't know how he feels so I'd rather not say anything to him until he gives me some indication of his interest in me being more than just friendly." She says, and I smile curiously at her, hiding the disappointment.

So she likes someone. I mean, that shouldn't be so upsetting, it's not like she knows I like her or anything. It's normal for people to like other people.

"Do I know him?" I ask, trying not to sound blatantly curious.

Isabel

"Do I know him?" I wish you could read my mind Alex

"It's you." I blurt out,my mouth running away with me before my brain has a chance to catch up

Dammit!!WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME???????

I have probably just ruined the best friendship aside from Maria's that I have ever had.Jumping up from the swing I race back in to my room,feeling very very embarrassed.

Poor guy!He's probably freaking out right now.

Alex

"It's you."

Isabel runs into her room, and I sit there on the swing, trying to clear my brain. Because there is no way I heard what I thought I heard. She so did not just say 'It's you,' did she?

Then it hits me like a stack of bricks. Yeah, she did say what I thought she said. Isabel likes me. And now she's going to think I hate her because I haven't said anything.

"Wait, Isabel," I say, getting up and walking into her room quickly. She's standing there facing the wall, and I place my hand on her shoulder to turn her around.

"I...when I said I didn't like anyone, it was because I like you and I didn't want you to know and now I feel stupid because...oh, what the hell," I ramble out, before leaning down to kiss her, the main purpose being to stop myself from talking.

Then I step back, feeling like an idiot, even though I'm smiling. I've wanted to do that for so long.

Isabel

God I am so so stupid!!!He's probably going to run a mile now once he recovers from his shock and it's apparent he's shocked 'coz he's still sitting on the swing.

I stand still looking at the wall against which my bed is placed,trying to keep calm and not cry when I feel his hands on my shoulders and he begins rambling,

"I...when I said I didn't like anyone, it was because I like you and I didn't want you to know and now I feel stupid because...oh, what the hell."

He places a gentle and sweet kiss on my lips and before I know it it's over.Opening my eyes I look up at him,and smile.Gosh...I think I am feeling shy right now.

"From now on let's keep the lines of communication wide open,please,to avoid any further confusion." I joke before wrapping my arms around his neck and standing on tip toes to kiss him lightly on the lips and finally resting my head on his chest,content for now to simply be in his arms.

Alex

"From now on let's keep the lines of communication wide open,please to avoid any further confusion." Isabel jokes kissing me softly, before just leaning against me.

I'm so happy right now that I can hardly believe it's all really happening. I don't usually have good luck in any situation, but right now the girl I like likes me back. Things are pretty good.

"Good idea," I tell her, placing my arms around her waist in a hug. "I feel so stupid...I should have just told you before," I go on, shaking my head a little.

Isabel

Without lifting my head up from his chest I reply "Well in our defence I guess we both were afraid of ruining a wonderful friendship just in case one of us didn't feel the same way.I'm just happy that I have a runaway tongue." I say chuckling softly

Rubbing my hands up and down his arms I let myself savour the feeling of being so close to him right now.Eventually I step back from him and pull him down on the bed with me.

"Pretty long power cut...been out for nearly 25 minutes now.The streets are going to be pitch black,I don't want you to drive home in that state.Walk if you have to but no driving.Wait...on second thoughts that's not such a good idea.All the creeps in the world are going to be milling around out there tonight if this persists." I know I am ebing bossy but my protective nature is coming to the forefront rigth now

Alex's dad is the richest man in Roswell,a billionaire.Some weirdo could easily try and kidnap Alex with all the chaos of the black out and demand a ransom.Okay...okay I know I sound paranoid but I love him.

~~~~~MAX~~~~~
" Um...I don't know what to say. I know glad I'm here with you..."
I give her a small smile. Not exactly what I meant but there you go. I take a piece of food of the platter and start to eat it, feeling akward.
"So...tell me about all your friends" I say

Alex

"Well in our defence I guess we both were afraid of ruining a wonderful friendship just in case one of us didn't feel the same way.I'm just happy that I have a runaway tongue." Isabel says, and I grin down at her head.

"I'm pretty happy too," I reply, before letting her pull me down onto the bed.

"Pretty long power cut...been out for nearly 25 minutes now.The streets are going to be pitch black,I don't want you to drive home in that state.Walk if you have to but no driving.Wait...on second thoughts that's not such a good idea.All the creeps in the world are going to be milling around out there tonight if this persists." She adds, sounding for a moment as if she's worried for my life. This is the Isabel I know. Kissing her on the forehead, I smile down at her.

"Well, what do you propose I do instead?" I ask, looking into her eyes. I don't mind driving in the complete darkness, but I know my parents would have the same ideas as Isabel and wouldn't want me to. Besides, I'm perfectly fine with staying here for the time being, if that is what she suggests.

Isabel

"Well, what do you propose I do instead?" he asks me with a twinkle in his eyes and my stomach does a flip...he is so adorable

"Umm...you could always spend the night here in case this power failure persists." I suggest calmly even though I am feeling a little shy around him all of a sudden

"I mean...not here as in in my bed of course" I hasten to clarify any misconceptions when I see him raise an eyebrow " you can sleep on the living room couch.I'm sure mum won't mind if I explain.Besides you're the only rich boy she's ever liked."
