Sitting in my room blushing like mad because I can't believe I did that. I kissed him on the cheek, he's probably is freaked out. And as if on cue mum walks in. "I don't know what you're worrying about but it can't be Alex because he has called at least six times to makes sure your doing okay" I stare at her in shock, six times? Wow..... That's so.... sweet. I smile a little. "Alrighty then, get some sleep you silly girl."
That night I slept soundlessly, it all seemed like a dream, but mum always reminded me that it wasn't.
* * *
A few months later nothing between Alex and I has changed were still just friends, but it has gotten a bit awkward. My birthday was in a few days, July 3rd. It was the first now, and Alex and I were going to the cafe, he had a performance. When we got there I started to head to a seat at the back of the cafe. "Hold on there" said Alex. I turn to him, a bit shocked. "There is no way I'm letting you sit out here by yourself." This was the cafe from a few months ago, the one where some of my father's friends had been. I sigh. "Don't worry I can take care of myself." I say, he knew I was referring to my Angela DNA. "Yes but they can't know that now can they" he had me there. "Come on." He says leading me to the back stage. "Are you sure its ok for me to go back there?" I ask. "Sure you can, I'm allowed one person." I see the manager as we get closer. "Hey Joe!"  Alex calls. "Hello there Alex," then he looks at me. "And who is this? Your girlfriend?" Alex blushed so much I giggled, which made him blush even more. "Hi I'm Rose and it would be a negative on that." I say trying to help Alex out. "Well ok then," then he turns to Alex. "Get a move on boy, oh and we don't need you help with set up so you can just head to your never used dressing room" Joe laughs; I think I missed some kind of inside joke. "Ok then" says Alex, he seemed annoyed by something. He put his hand on my back and directed me toward a hall way near the back. From the corner of my eye I see Alex give Joe the 'what the hell man' look.
At the end of the hall there's a room with Alex's name on the door. He opens the door for me, I whisper thank you. I was nervous, and I was sure he was to. It was like this a lot, when it was just me and him. We were always so tense, but to be honest, I just wanted him to shut up and kiss me, but there is no way in hell that I would admit it. A few minutes later he and I are still talking, but I'm talking a lot more then he was. I stop midsentence. "Alex is there something on your mind?" I ask, it was obvious that this had caught him off guard. "Wha-? Oh umm sorry no its nothing, don't worry about it...." when ever he says that I always worry. I cross the room and grab hold of his hand, he blushes. "When ever you say not to worry I worry a lot more. Tell me, what's bothering you?" my eyes were filled with worry and I knew that just behind that there was the fact of how much I cared for him. He blushes a lot more. "Well...."
                                                                             * * *
To be honest the whole time Rose was talking I was doing what I normally did in class, answering questions without really hearing them. And when Rose asked me what was on my mind I almost answer her, thank god I clicked in before hand, but when I told her not to worry she came over to me and grabbed my hand and looked at me with those eyes. It kills me every time. To tell you the truth, I wanted to kiss her. I have for a while, but it was never the right time, oh who am I kidding it was the right time lots of times I was just to scared to. Well now would be a good time, it's just her and I, and with that thought I lean in. But then the door opens, I automatically jump and move away blush so much I think my whole face was red. "Hey.... oh I'm not interrupting anything am I?" stupid Joe.... was my only thought. "What do you need Joe?" I say with a sigh. "You're on in two, I need you out there." Joe says. "Ok then" I say as I head out the door. "Um you sure I didn't interrupt anything?" Joe asks me again. I shoot a glare at him "what do you think?" I ask him, and then continue walking to stage. As I walk to stage all I can think of is 'damn it, I was so close' and 'stupid Joe.' I hear Rose and Joe walk behind me.... crap, she probably freaked out.
                                                                      * * *
Did Alex just try to kiss me? If so I think I might just kill Joe for walking in, so close...... I wanted to rip my hair out. Then I realize my eyes were fixed on Alex. "Yo, earth to Rose." I hear Joe say. "Huh, what?" I say coming out of my daze. "So what is with you and Alex? I mean-" that's all he got out before someone called him, then it was just a few people running around paying no attention to me or Alex. I walk over to Alex and grab his hand. I didn't know what I was going to say but... I had to say something. He looks at me and I nearly freeze, "um...." I pause, and then I smile. "... good luck" that's the best I could think of, which is really sad but whatever, it made him smile. "Thanks Rose." Then he was called on to stage. He grabbed his guitar and sat down on his stool, Just as Joe came to stand beside me. "How yall doing tonight?" the crowd cheered. "Good good... well tonight I'm gonna dedicate tonight's songs to my good friend Rose," now I was shocked. "She comes to every show, and it's her birthday in a few days, so happy birthday Rose." Then he starts to play, for the whole show I was in a daze, the last thing he played was happy birthday, and he made the whole crowd sing along. This made me laugh. He said thank you to the crowd and started to head off stage. "Ok everyone clear the area I think it's gonna get mushy" says Joe I go wide eyed and blush turn to Joe. But he ran off before I could say anything.
                                                                            * * *
As I was heading of stage I see Rose smiling, then she goes wide eyed and turns to Joe but he runs off, which make me laugh under my breath. "Happy birthday Rose, well it's kinda early, but still." And with that rose turns around and nearly tackles me with a hug, which made me blush. "Thank you so much Alex" she says still hugging me. Some other act went on. And Rose and I walked back home. On Roses porch she hugged me once again, and said thanks. When she pulled away, I used all my courage to kiss her on the cheek. She blushed but then again so did I. I pull away trying not to look her in the eye, because I knew I would blush more. "Night Rose, ill see you later" I say trying not to look at her. Then I feel her lips on my cheek, sure as hell didn't expect that. "Nighty night Alex" she says with a smile, she was blushing a fare bit. Then she goes inside, and I walk home with a smile on my face ten miles wide.
                                                                            ***
I wasn't really sure where Alex and I were going, but we seemed to be growing closer by the day. I wake up on my birthday to mum giving strawberry pancakes in bed, and her forcing me to open her present to me. "Happy birthday baby girl" my mama said to me with a smile on her face. She handed me a box wrapped in red. Inside was a brand new art set, paints, paint brushes, pencils, paper, and pastels, you name it and it was there. "Oh my gosh... thanks mama." Then I give her a hug. I loved art, but lately I haven't had the time, or the materials. I ate my pancakes and got out of bed "what to wear what to wear...." I whisper to myself. It was one of those days, it was cloudy so it could rain or be sunny.... I really should dress for both but my red summer dress just screamed 'wear me' so I did. I pulled a bush threw my hair put on my earrings and locket and headed down stairs. When I get down the stairs I get a text from Alex asking for me to meet him in the school garden. "Hey mum can I go out for a bit?" I peak threw the door into the living room. "Sure honey, just check in every once and a while." Mum tells me. "Okay~" I say as I run out the door.  I almost run there, I reach the entrance to the garden, and I look at the time and realize that I'm 20 minutes early "crap..." I go in anyways; I didn't expect to see him here already. "Alex...?" he whips around startled. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I say apologetically, I also blushed. "No... Um...I just didn't think you would be here till a bit later..." he was blushing to, it was cute. Thinking that made me blush a lot more then normal. I walk over to the cherry blossom tree; it was the only one that still had those beautiful pink flowers. There was a gentle breeze moving threw the garden. It made me feel so relaxed.
                                                                            * * *
I didn't expect her to be here so soon, I was nervous now, like really nervous. But all of that went away when I saw her standing under the cherry blossom tree, the petals floating around her, while her light brown hair danced in the wind, after that, all my fear was gone.  She looks at me and smiles her cheeks that shade of pale pink that I love to see. "Happy birthday Rose" I say as I pull her gift out of my pocket. It was wrapped in white and red, her to favorite colors.
                                                                           * * *
When he handed me that little box I didn't know what to expect. I open it to find a bracelet with cherry blossoms hanging from it. "Alex... this is beautiful... thank you." I say as I give him a hug. I pull away, I could feel my cheeks turning red but I didn't care. "Would you... help me put it on?" I ask him, wanting him to say something. "sure." That may be all he said but it put me at ease, him being silent drove me crazy. He put the clasp around my wrist. And I just started talking because I was nervous. A few minutes later he said. "Rose." He was looking at me in a way that made my heart beat like a jack hammer. "w-what" I tried so hard not to stammer but I failed terribly. "Just shut up and let me kiss you please." With that I go wide eyed but before I could say another word his lips were on mine. I was so shocked I didn't know what to do. Then he pulled away and all I could think is that it was over to soon. "Sorry... I shouldn't have done that...." whispered Alex. I said the first thing that popped into my head "idiot." I say as I put my arms around his neck and kiss him. He was shocked that was for sure. But his shock didn't last long; when I went to pull away he put his arms around me and refused to let me pull away. Then it started to rain. But to be honest I didn't care. I loved the rain, and I... I love Alex... whoa that's the first time I ever thought that, or admitted it a least. We pull apart the rain made my hair hang stangely and stick to my head. We were both soaked. He just smiled. "Rose, I lo-"
