Chpt. 6

Bang. Bang. Bang. Jay was startled out of his video game trance when he heard the rather furious knocking on the door.

"Who the hell is it?" He yelled. He hated being interrupted during 'Grand Theft Auto.'

"Martha fucking Stewart, Jay, open this damn door!" Alex shrieked.

Jay nearly fell off the couch as he bolted over to the faded oak front door. He swung it open to reveal a very pissed, and clearly very distraught Alex.

"Shit, we gotta stop meeting like this," Jay said sarcastically.

"I'm not in the mood, so move your ass," Alex hissed as she shoved Jay aside.

Jay sighed. He walked over to his refrigerator, grabbed two Bud Lite beers, then came back and plopped down next to Alex on the couch. "All right Lexi," he said as he opened up his beer can, "what happened?"

Alex groaned. Then she held her stomach as she coughed again, wincing in pain.

Jay frowned sympathetically at Alex. "Chest still bothering you?"

Alex nodded, opening her beer. "Stupid rhino- virus."

Jay looked at Alex in confusion. "Common cold Jay."

"Ah. Don't get me sick," Jay said as he picked up his game controller. "So you gonna tell me what happened, or do I have to get you drunk?"

Alex shook her head. "Princess Pissy pissed me off, royally. Accused me of being a chain smoking loser because she heard me coughing like this."

Jay snorted in laughter. "You got pissed for that? Alex, you do smoke!"

"No I don't!" Alex yelled, throwing her hands in the air, "I quit three weeks ago!"

Jay's mouth fell open. "Seriously? You were smoking like a chimney last month..."

"Yeah, last month. Like I said, I haven't picked up a cigarette in three weeks. But your stupidity is making me want to."

Jay nodded his head, chuckling softly. "Okay then. But why would you get pissed at that? Her Royal Bitchiness judges you all the time. Who cares what she thinks of you?"

Alex sighed, burying her face in her hands. "I care..." She whispered.

Jay said nothing, he only blinked in shock. "...Um..."

"Don't Jay. Don't make this any worse for me," Alex snapped.

"Worse what? What is going on?" Jay asked, obviously clueless.

Alex's eyes bugged out of her skull. "Jay!"

"What?!?" Jay threw his hands up in the air, spilling the contents of his beer can.

Alex scoffed and her eyes nearly rolled into the back of her head. "You dumbfuck. How can you not get it?"

"What don't I get Lexi?!?" Jay was nearly hysterical. Then- BINGO! It hit him like a ton of bricks.

"Oh- Oh! You gotta be shitting me!" Jay shrieked, jumping off the couch. "Why the hell you would you ever like her?"

"I don't know! You think I'm happy about this?!" Alex too leaped off the couch, standing toe to toe with Jay. "I can't help it! The way she walks, how her jeans fit her legs so perfectly, and how her lip gloss makes her lips so full and shiny, and how ridiculously hot she is when she's being bitchy or sarcastic! And God dammitget off my ass Jay!"

"Just shut up!" Jay threw his beer can against the wall, creating a sloshing crash that made them both flinch. Alex's mouth hung open slightly; she wasn't totally shocked, because she was used to this at home. But it was startling none the less. They both stood there, locked in silence. Neither moved an inch, for fear of startling the other.

Finally, Alex spoke up. "You're gonna have to clean that up you know." She gestured to the mucky yellow puddle of beer strewn all over the corner of the room.

Jay chuckled slightly, but he didn't take his gaze off the ground. "Heh, yeah. I know."

Then they both let out a long sigh in unison, and slumped down into the couch. "I'll get it... later." Jay groaned.

Alex chuckled, throwing her head over the end of the couch. "You lazy ass."

"...You raging dyke."

"You cock sucking ass mongler." Alex shot back cooly.

Jay had the biggest smirk imaginable on his face. "Touche Miss Nunez."

"Get the mop cock sucker." Alex winked at Jay.

Jay inched up, agonizingly slowly, until Alex gave him a playful shove and he bounded over to the closet. After retrieving the mop, Jay's attitude turned quite serious. "So... what are you going to do about Paige?"

Alex sighed deeply. "I don't really know yet, but I have work with her tonight, so I guess I'll take it one step at a time."

Jay nodded. "But one step at a time to what?"

Alex closed her eyes and smiled. "One step at a time... to get her to treat me like a human being I guess."
