Justin's eyes opened and he stretched before sitting up. He could feel a numbing pain forming in the back of his head and groaned, he was SO never, ever drinking ever again.
He felt so grimy and dirty..he just felt, well, gross.
He walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him and flipping on the light. Alexa had set out a towel for him the night before so he turned on the water and waited until it was steaming hot. He stripped, tested the water one last time and then hopped in, pulling the curtain closed.
Alexa was vaguely aware of the movements of someone in the bathroom, but it wasn't all the way comprehending after all she was just about halfway between reality and dreamworld. Her bed was so nice and so warm and she was just so comfortable...she didn't want to move. Then, she heard the shower start, and she sat up quickly.
After all, she wasn't used to having people stay at her place with her, usually it was just her. Then, she remembered the previous nights' events and also remembered the Justin had been sleeping like 20 feet from her door. She crawled out of bed and tied her hair back. Then, she made the trek to the kitchen for some coffee. 'If only the 10 year old's that want his body knew he was in my bathroom, showering!,' She thought with a smile.
Justin finished washing the soap from his body and turned off the water. He hoped Alexa didn't mind that he borrowed her shampoo..it wasn't too girly..although, he kinda wished she still had that strawberry shampoo...that first day they met, her hair smelled like strawberries...it was heavenly.
He dried himself off and dressed in his clothes from the other night, they were a little worn out looking but he figured no one special was going to see him before he got home.
He opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. He heard something coming from the kitchen and figured Alexa must have woken up.
She looked up to see him walking from the bathroom, he looked much better and more refreshed. "Morning..how do you feel?"
He smiled and sat down, "I feel okay, surprisingly. You?"
"A tad tired, but no big deal."
"No hard feelin's?"
She shook her head, "No, last night I told you I wasn't mad and I'm not mad now."
"Okay, okay.."
"Want coffee?"
He shook his head, "Nah..do you have any juice?"
"Yep, in the fridge," She said starting for the refridgerator.
He was there before she was and smiled at her, "I can get it myself."
"Oh, really?"
"Yep.."
"And I just thought you were some egotistical little popstar.," She said teasingly.
"Hey, I take offense to that.," He said nudging her with his shoulder.
She smiled, "I was just kidding...you're a very talented little popstar, not egotistical."
"Suuuure."
"Anyways, so what is on your agenda today?"
He sat down with his water and shrugged, "Don't know. Probably nothin', really...my mom will probably want me to watch Jon or something. What are up to today?"
"Don't know really..."
"Well..wanna come with me and we can take Jon to a park or something?"
"You don't mind?"
He shook his head, "No, why would I mind?"
"I dunno...you really don't care, at all, for me to go hang out with you and your little brother when you know you won't get to see him for awhile in a couple months or something?"
"Lexi, I don't care, I promise. Jon talks about you ALL the time anyways...come on, it'd be fuuuunnnn.."
She sighed, "Ok."
"Cool, go shower!"
"Aye, aye cap'n. Geez, you sure are pushy."
Justin grinned as she walked out of the kitchen, "That's just the egotistical little pop star comin' out of me...now, hurry!"
