mouth.

What the fuck are you doing Annie?? Fucking stop! She thinks to herself. But pushes the thoughts away. Annie this is fucking things up with Alexander! Stop before to much damage is done!! This time she listens to herself and pulls back…

“wow Josh, I am sorry about that.” She says moving her hands. “I um shouldn’t have done that…”

“um ya sorry Annie, I don’t know what came over me.., ive just honestly missed you.”

“I’ve missed you to Joshua….” Just then the bathroom door opens and Samantha is done. Annie sits there waiting for her to come downstairs. “so uhh Josh… are you like living here now?”

“actually yes, I just moved in the other day.”

“that’s cool” she says but she’s thinking oh how lovely looks like I cant move here, if every time I see Josh, all I want to do is make out with him.

“yes yes it is…”

Just then Samantha stumbles down the stairs and see’s Annie and Josh sitting there awkwardly. “Annie!” Samantha says running to her. With her arms wide open for a hug.

“Samantha!” Annie says and runs to get her hug.

“its been awhile, since you’ve just stopped by” she says hugging her.

“well yes I’ve just missed you a bunch.”

“ive missed you too! So do you want to go upstairs? I think that Josh is having a friend over.”

“um ya sure that’ll be fine.” Annie says not wanting to be in the same room as josh anymore.

They walk up the stairs and Annie can feel Josh staring at her ass. Pig, she thinks to herself.. but I love that pig.

“ok so girl what are you really doing here??”

“I love how you know me so well.”

“I can tell when something is troubling my girl, I’m not retarded.”

“I know that, ok so me and my mom got in a fight, and I came her to see if I could stay with you for awhile.” It might be awkward now though Annie thinks to herself.

“well of course you can girl, your always welcome here” Samantha said with so much love in her voice it was unbelievable.

“Samantha I love you so much.” Annie says laughing

“I love you too AnniePoo.” Heheh

“yay”

“oh Annie, your special. Haha ok well want to help me cook for josh and his friends??”

“alright Samantha, this outta be fun.” Annie says with an evil grin.

“no Annie, we will not poison my brother.” She says rolling her eyes.

“I know Samantha, your to sweet for that.”

“hehe yup.”

They’re still laughing when they walk down the steps but Annie stops laughing when she see’s Josh sitting on the couch with a girl. There was other people there, but the only thing that bothered her was the girl.

There was a girl sitting on the couch with a scene haircut, black hair with blonde strips in it, she had on some really tight light blue skinny jeans, long converse and a gray hoodie. Her bangs where in front of her eyes, she was quite similar to Anne.

She’s beautiful Annie thinks to herself, no wonder josh is with her…..


Chapter 6

But why do I care so much? Me and josh are nothing. What happened in there was a quick slip of the tongue and it meant nothing. Annie thinks to herself.

“come on Annie.! Lets hold hands and skip.”

“hahah ok.”

Samantha grabs Annie’s hand and they skip through the living room right past josh and the girl, and the others. When they get to the kitchen they start laughing.

“what are we making them?” Annie asks between laughs

“um ya I don’t know.” Samantha starts laughing. “go ask them what they want.” Samantha pushes Annie forwards. “your not scared of my brother are you?” Samantha asked when she felt Annie plant her feet on the ground.

“no, I am not scared of Josh.”

“then go!” Samantha says shoving her out the door.

Fuck she thinks to herself, now I can find out who she is. Annie walks into the living room and when josh see’s her he jumps up and grabs her hand. “everyone this is Annie, this is my wife.” He says winking.
“you know Joey, Eli, Dave, skyler, and this right here in your seat is Bree, my bestie.”

Annie decides to play nice. “nice to meet you br..”

But before she could finish her sentence josh stopped her with a kiss. “sorry I missed Annie lips.”

“oh ok” Annie says as soon as he breaks the kiss. “umm” Annie tries to remember what she was in there for, but her head was spinning from the kiss. “oh um Samantha wants to know what you guys want to eat.”

“your making it??” Joey asked

“mmm ya.”

“then just some chicken.”

“ok.”

“oh and Annie” Joey calls.

“ya?” Annie asks…

“you should re marry me.”

“why would I do that?”

“well you re married Josh, and from what Ive seen, Annie kisses look fun.”

“oh well… u”

Before Annie could finish Josh spoke for her, “Joey forget it only me and Alexander get Annie kisses.”

“oh Alexander…who be this?” bree asked

That was the first time I had heard her voice and it was really sweet and innocent, like mine.. soft and smooth.

“Alexander is”

But josh beat her to it and said “Alexander is her ex, and she might be getting back with him, because she still loves him. But she’s not sure.”

“oh boy drama. What did he do?” bree asked

“cheated.”

“oh fuck him then, my boy Josh likes you, give em a chance.”

“oh haha..” Annie blushes. “let me go get the food.”

Annie returns to the kitchen with Samantha, “what took you so long girl? I was about to come check and make sure they didn’t eat up your sweet ass.”

Annie laughs “we were just talking.”

“oh ok hehe so what do they want??”

“Joey said just make them some chicken.”

“you know he would do that..”

“yes I know.” Annie says smirking

“can you hand me the bag out of the freezer? They’re just going to get freezer made chicken.”

“ok” annie says laughing. she opens the freezer and grabs the bag of chicken and hands it to Samantha. She turns around and Samantha sets a pan on the stove.

“do me a favor and preheat the oven to 450.”

“will do.” Annie reaches over and preheats the oven. “hey Samantha can I call Alexander? I really need to talk to him…”

“oh ok… I mean ya sure, you don’t have to ask.”

“thank you thank you, you once again prove yourself to be irresistible.” Haha

“Oh my darling you don’t know how much you make me blush” Samantha says in a sarcastic voice.

“haha that’s my girl.”

Annie walks through the living room and reaches the third step and then josh calls her, “where you going baby cakes?”

“just upstairs real quick.”

“oh ok, well hurry back, ima miss youuu.”

“ima miss you to.” And Annie starts walking again. She pulls put her phone and calls Alexander.

Hey Alexander can we talk?
Uh ya sure I’m still at our spot if you want to come there?
Um I’m at Samantha’s, do you want to meet me outside?
Oh ya sure.
Are you ok Alexander?
Um I guess why?
You sound worried
That’s cause can we talk is never good.
Sorry its not good in this case either.
Oh…

Look we’ll talk when you get here.
Well ok… Annie?
Ya?

Still?
Ya.
Ok just making sure.
Ok. See you in a few. Please kind of hurry.
Will do.
Annie stands in the hall getting ready to walk down the stairs when she hears Bree talk and Josh talking.

Josh why wont you tell her you love her??
She loves Alexander, you don’t get it, I don’t want to ruin them
Look he is not good for her, he broke her heart.
I’ve broken it once to.
Well maybe so but you didn’t cheat.
I know, its obvious she has feelings for you.
Is it? Because I am honestly beginning to doubt that.
I can tell the way she laughs when she looks at you.
Well even so, she has more feelings for him.
Give it time Josh, you see the look on her face when she seen me?
No.
she looked absolutely pissed, and then you announced my bestie.
And?
She was ok again..
Oh

Annie starts walking down the steps not wanting to hear anymore, hoping when she reached the middle they would end the conversation and just let it go. They did. When Annie stepped down stairs everything was quiet. Annie walked past josh and into the kitchen with Samantha, “Alexander is coming over so I’m going to go outside and wait for him, we foreal need to talk.”

“awe ok girl. Hurry back”

“you know I will.”

Annie walked into the living room and josh wasn’t paying attention so she just walked outside. And seen Alexander standing there.

Josh peeks out the window to see who she was with.

“that must be Alexander.”
“I think, we should crash a party” Dave says.
“well give it a few guys, let them talk.” Bree say
Chapter 7

“thanks for coming Alexander.” Annie says sitting on the curb

“well you asked me to, you said we needed to talk.” he sits down to

“did I tell you about the first guy to break my heart?”

“umm no…”

“well I am about to, his name is josh. We were fakely married and kissing and cuddling all the time and I really fell for him and then he just up and left. He always said he loves me and everything.. well he told me it was all fake. And that’s the first time my heart ever broke, it was really ever fixed until I meant you.. but its broken again… I wont judge.”

“Annie I am sorry..” he says starting to cry

“Alexander I didn’t ask you to come over, to make you cry.”

“ok..” he says “keep going.”

“ok but first.” Annie wipes away his tears and gives him a small kiss.

He kisses back

“just remember that I love you babe.”

“I love you to Annie.”

“you wont…”

“why?”

“what I am about to tell you….”

“oh.. ill still love you.”
“I doubt it.”

“Annie what’s going on?”

“Josh came back around. I ran into him today… and we kind of made out….”

“oh…” Alexander starts to cry

“I am really sorry.”

“so that’s it? There’s no more hope for us? Your just giving up??”

“no. I regret the kiss… but heres the problem…”

“wait it gets worse…?”

“ya…”

“oh… um what is the problem?”

“when I kissed him, I realized I never moved on, I’m still in love with him… and I’m still in love with you… and now I don’t know what to do.”

Just then josh walks out.

“Annie who is this?” Josh asks.

“um this is Alexander ..Alexander this is Josh…”

All the color drained from Alexander’s face.

“oh
