Well, Natasha's birthday was near and it really hit him that, he wanted something special for her, something super awesome that is like super memorable. He waited on the phone the birthday eve, well he was tutoring her anyway and he counted down, when it was 11:59 he started going '60, 59, 58, 57..' and yeah, voila, the super awesomest-but-failed birthday wish.
No, he thought, don't tell her yet, wait.
The actual day itself, after school he saw her and wished her again. As she was being thrown with all of I-have-no-idea-what-that-stuff-is oh wait, flour. As she was all drenched, all white and filthy, Alex offered her his umbrella, just in case she needs it, or maybe use it for self-defence, Brittany style. :D
'A little too late now isn't it?' said Natasha, looking down at herself all um, cleaned up.
'But but, just in case, you know?'
'It's okay, wanna hug?'
'OH CRAP NO.' Alex said 'No no no no no.'
Too late, she hugged him, dirtying his bag, his uniform, but he didn't care. He wished it lasted longer, he wished he could do it, like as a you-know-what. But no, her friends started splashing her again, dirtying them both but he didn't care, he wanted to go back to the time to when that happened. I know, it was just a hug, but but it is a hug. A hug, hug. The smile on his face when that happened, priceless.
'Not bad eh, she hugged you!' Alex kind of forgotten that Elena was right next to him when that happened. 'Heh, that was cool. Progress!'
As they walked to where Mel and Eddie Kaynes were (it was such a coincidence that Mel's boyfriend had the same birthday) he realized, he wanted what they had. They've been together for 2 and a half years now, almost 3 and still they are so cute together, they're so happy, almost nothing could come between them. He couldn't even imagine her with anybody else (he kind of expects them to get married as high-school sweethearts and have little tiny Smurf babies together). That, is love, right there.
It made him jealous yet warm and fuzzy inside when Mel planned the whole day with the gang being the stations for the 'Amazing Ed Race' a.k.a 'The 74th Annual Meddie Games' isn't that the cutest? Isaak, Elena and Alex were all part of them, and though it was pretty spontaneous, no one really knew what to do so they ended up going 'Go find the lamb' or 'go find the short Doraemon' but the last one was the one where everyone would go 'AWWWW'.
Isaak was the second last station, and all he gave as a clue was 'The turtle'. In a snap of a finger he could think that it was his girlfriend indeed, as she was pretty um, clueless. 'What do you call something with no body and no nose?' 'A turtle?' Yeeaaah.
The last clue lead to her, and she was there under the tree, waiting for him, holding the card she made.
As the gang watched from far away, all they could do was to squeal with excitement as they both talked and talked and BAM they kissed. Her second kiss, ever.
As Ed went back she came to the gang touching her lips and her smile, truly she was happy. Alex was happy, for them, and for himself -duh.
And while walking home, Alex walked with an unimaginable smile, he wanted to go back to the hug, he wanted his arms around her, he wanted to be hers. He wanted what Mel and Ed had. He was happy the whole day, well cus' today was a fairytale.
