All Chapters of Alexa and the Badboy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

The first Official Date: Falling Fast CHAPTER THIRTY NINE Devon’s POV "Man, you look like a rack of nerves. Are you sure you don't want my help? " I glanced back at Kai, who was lying on his bed, scrolling through his phone. Earlier before I had even started to get ready, he had already asked if I wanted help. Of course I had turned him down, but now I was regretting doing so. I don’t think I’ve ever spent this much time planning anything in my life. Tonight was going to be my first official date with Alexa as my girlfriend this time, and I wanted everything to be perfect. I wasn't really even sure why I was being so nervous—Alexa and I had been hanging out for months. We talked every day, stayed till late texting, sharing secrets, laughing until neither of us could keep our eyes open. I had seen her in just sweatpants and messy buns, and she had seen me in full panic mode the day before a physics or math test. We knew each other. Really understood one other. Tonight thoug

DemieCHAPTER FORTY-ONEAlexa’s POVThe party was loud in the way all good high school parties were—music thumping through the floors, lights flashing in sync with bass drops, laughter spilling from every corner. I wasn’t even sure whose house it was anymore. Someone said it was Jayden’s cousin’s friend. Didn't matter. Everyone we knew was here.Since our finals were drawing closer, someone had suggested throwing a party as a way to have fun before anything got serious. After our very successful weekend get away by the way, my boyfriend, my best friend and my boyfriend's best friend as well had each returned and resumed our normal lives. Kai being homeschooled, hang out with us a lot. After all, Stacey and him had resolved their grudge from ages ago and seemed to have a relationship of sorts between them. It was still awkward, but the intensity and tension about them had ceased, which in my case, was a win-win. I’d lost track of Stacey a while ago, probably off grabbing drinks, but

Uncertain CHAPTER FORTY TWO- PT2 Alexa Everyone else knew. They all were so sure of themselves. Stacey talked about helping people with a fire in her eyes. Devon lit up when he explained his ideas for a tech startup, while using law to save and change lives. Everytime we had such conversations, I couldn't help but envy them. They were so certain about their futures, and I was still drifting about, unsure of myself. Even random kids at school, the ones I barely spoke to, had these neatly packaged dreams. Veterinarian. Architect. Lawyer. Music producer, Actress and so on. Their futures sounded rehearsed, confident, like they'd already lived them in their heads. And then there was me. The girl with a dozen hobbies, half-finished ideas, and a blank space on her college application where the “career goal” section was supposed to go. That paper haunted me, and as college drew closer, so did my panic grow. Sure enough, I had said some things to sound convincing, like I was certai

CHAPTER FORTY FOUR AN UNEXPECTED JOB Alexa’s POV I hadn’t planned on getting a job. Like at all. One moment I was helping out, minding my own business, and then in the next second, boom... you're hired. Right after I was sure I was finished studying for the day, I had decided I would take another walk today. Thankfully, it had rained the day before and it wasn't so hot. Nevertheless, I still put on a bit of sunscreen, just in case it got a little brighter later in the day. I was just wandering, trying to escape the suffocating pressure of not knowing what I wanted to be. The future was this blurry, glittering fog everyone else seemed to be driving through with their high beams on—and I was stuck, headlights dim, unsure of which road to take. Even though I had received a bit of comfort and words of encouragement from Devon (thanks babe), I didn't that I was going to keep sulking and keep my butt in place and do nothing. If my passion wasn't going to come to me, then I wa

A Rough Wake-Up CallCHAPTER FORTY-SIXAlexa’s POVThe sun was barely peeking through the blinds when I stirred awake, warm and tucked beneath my blanket. For a second, I didn’t think anything was off. And then, just suddenly, the awareness came rushing back to me. The weight of on arm over me. The hard but comfortable surface where my cheek rested, and the steady breath brushing the back of my neck.Devon.My eyes popped open.His arm was around my waist, his face nestled close into my shoulder. Memories from the night rushed back, movie marathon, our intense make out sensation( I blushed a little at that memory), and then agreeing to stop things before they went too far. We’d fallen asleep. In my bed. Nestled under the covers. I bolted upright, eliciting a mumble from Devon. He, however, didn't rouse from his sleep, but instead, nestled more into the blankets, and then made a move to pull me back into bed. I shook him awake, and when he caught sight of me and then took in sight o
