New chapter! Woot woot!

Don't skip my rant this time please! Cause I'll give the translation to Blake's French rant! lol If you had looked at the previews comments, I gave it there, but anyway I'm putting it back here!

So Blake was actually quoting Hernani! (Act 5, Scene 3) The boy does that a lot! ;P

So here's my translation of it, word by word :

Oh! I am your slave! Yes I stay, stay!

Do what you want. I ask for nothing.

You know what you do! What you do is good!

I'll laugh if you want, I'll sing. My soul burns...

Now, if we take the translation I've been using in previews chapters of the whole play it's "Make me wait, then. Whatever you wish, I am your slave.." and some blah blah about volcanoes which is nice but Blake cut that part lol

For those interested you can read the complete play at this link :

Anyway sorry about this chapter... my brain is just too full of different characters right now that are all fighting to speak and it was hard to get into the right state of mind. So sorry if it sucks! lol Plus I had like too much stuff I needed to mention and crap... anyway sorry again! lol

Oh and speaking of characters that would like to speak I have a little something something to offer you guys. Don't know if you've noticed but I got a FREAKING million reads now... I'm pretty shocked but mostly touched and happy and freaking the hell out!!! AAAAAAA!!! So to thank you all I thought about giving you a tiny Tyler's POV? How would you like that? Tyler's head is pretty amusing! lol Not to mention interesting. So I'll try giving you that in the next twenty four hours (no promises though I do get distracted quite easily!)

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this. And I mean... took me 63 chapters to just have them kiss so you got to give a little time to Lexi to sort things out in her head. lol

So, read, enjoy, vote and comment! :P

Sleeping was definitely out of the question I realized as I laid in my bed, staring at the ceiling like an idiot.

Kind of ironic I had told Blake he could be replaying the kiss in his head all night long and it was me right now who was doing it.

Yes I was replaying the kiss.

Pathetic really.

This was stupid. I needed to sleep. I shouldn't be thinking about how sweet his lips had been one mine. I shouldn't be thinking about how soft the skin of his face was, about how his hair felt when I ran my fingers through them. I shouldn't be thinking about how hot he looked shirtless and how-

Crap crap crap CRAP!

I rolled over in my bed, burying my face in my pillow and screamed a good ten seconds, punching in the mattress.

What the frack was WRONG with me?

Fantasizing about Blake? REALLY?

UGH!

Seriously, that's the stage I was at now?

Just freaking perfect really!

But would I kiss him again or would I just have that one memory to replay over and over? But there were almost-kisses too and other moments, in the cemetery holding his hand, when we were practicing the play and he had laid his head on me. When I had been sick and he had taken care of me...

Why did all those moments felt so maddening right now?

I was definitely pathetic. Completely pathetic!

The next morning I was in a weird mood. I was pissed at myself, not to mention tired as always, but at the same time I was in a bliss bubble just thinking about the fact that Blake had actually climbed up my freaking window. I mean that was something that only happened in movies! But trust Blake to do something like that, something as stupid and over the top and sweet and... and Blakish as that!

Tyler was in a weird mood too. It wasn't hard to guess what was going through that boy's head. Vanessa was coming back tomorrow. He didn't know what he would do, how things would plan out. At least he didn't play with my radio on the ride to school.

When I walked in the school halls I felt bad for the fact I had missed more school yesturday, since I already had on Friday. If things kept going this way people would start rumours or something.

That's why I needed to freaking calm down and breathe and just stop over thinking for two seconds. Over thinking to the point of making myself sick!

Daphnee and Alex were at my side the minute they spotted me. I didn't know if I should tell them about last night, but decided against it.

Why did everything with Blake always felt so secretive? Why did it felt like I had to keep it to myself?

I was anxious to see Blake to say the least; I didn't have to wait long though. First class was English Literature. The teacher gave us all copies of the complete play of Hernani to read because apparently we would have a test about it. I was glad because I actually kinda liked that play.

And it was as if everything was back to normal. Blake was smirking at me and teasing and annoying, and I was rolling my eyes at him.

But not exactly the same, because I had to fight with my eyes, to stop them from staring at his lips for too long...

At the end of the day, in the Chemistry Lab though, I got in class before the bell and Blake was already sitting at our working desk, texting I think, because he had his iPhone out and in front of him, frowning at it actually.

"Who are you texting?" I asked him and sat beside him.

Stalker mode back on.

"Hmm? Oh I'm not texting" he answered not raising his head to me and I peeked over his shoulder and saw he was checking his emails.

"Can't you wait to get home to answer to your fan mails?" I asked, my voice trying to be teasing.

"That's not MY email account that's Josh's" Blake smirked.

"And what are you doing looking at Josh's emails? Isn't that illegal? And did you have to crack codes or something?" I started to ask, sitting beside him, putting my bag on the black counter.

"Josh's been acting weird lately so I'm trying to figure out something. And please I think I've done worse in the illegal area. Oh and easy. Josh's password is "Scarlett Johansson's Tits""

"Okay what the hell? And how do you even know that?"

Those two were sooo weird...

"Inside joke, sort of... he said that as long as my password was an unattainable dream his should too. He's a dick." Blake mumbled, seeming much more concentrated on the phone in his hand than in the conversation.

"And what's that password of yours?" I asked, chuckling.

"Sorry according to the Stalker Law I'm not supposed to give you that kind of information..." Blake answered, absentmindedly again.

For two second I wondered what his password actually was. Was it something as stupid as "Meghan Fox's Tits" or something like having his brother back?

"But anyway, what do you mean by acting weird?"

That's when Blake raised his head and looked at me, smirking. "I think he likes a girl"

"And that is weird because he's never liked girls?" I chuckled.

"Well not like this. I think he has a crush on someone and I'm just trying to figure out if the chick is a hooker..." Blake frowned a little "Because he's been talking a lot about hookers lately and how they're human beings just like us with rights and then insert Josh rant. So ya... I'm trying to figure out that" Blake nodded and started to skim through the emails again.

"You know you could just ASK him right?"

"Tried that, didn't work. He said it was just Miss Puss worrying him because he thinks she's having an affair."

"You two are just so strange together" I laughed again, shaking my head while looking at him in disbelief.

"Tell me about it" Blake laughed a little too and then looked at me, smiling the nice smile and I had a hard time finding my breath.

Oh crap...

"By the way I'm going to need your help with a few math problems" Blake said, and then broke eye contact.

Why did it have to be so contradictory with Blake? Because a part of me was glad that he wasn't looking at me anymore with that oh so irresistible smile of his while another one was feeling all sad because of it.

Seriously, bi-polar much? I had been thinking that it was Blake the bi-polar but maybe it was me?

Dang it! When had I become such an emotional wreck! Why was I even doing this to myself?

"Want to come over tonight?" I asked him and took out my notebook and pencil.

"Got practice tonight. Tomorrow?" Blake asked

"Well tomorrow Vanessa's going to be there so I'm probably going to want to see her"

If Tyler lets me, I wanted to add.

"Alright then, Friday night it is" Blake said "And it won't take long anyways so if you had plans you'll have the rest of your evening free. I just need one hour or two"

And of course when he said that I wanted to pout because I wanted to have him for all the evening but seriously Blake had to have better things to do on a Friday night than math homework. Of course he had.

When I got finally got back home I realized I had nothing to do and after speaking with Vanessa on the phone about all the final details for her visit, I ended up reading Hernani's play.

Next thing I knew it was the middle of the night and I was crying alone.

Hadn't Blake said this play had a GOOD ending? I was one hundered percent sure Blake had told me this play had a nice ending!

And now I was sitting in the middle of my room, crying my freaking eyes out! And I mean it wasn't like this was the saddest thing I had ever read but I had begun to like Hernani and Dona Sol a lot and I would have wanted them to be happy and when they finally could have had that freaking uncle of hers had to come and ask for his life and they didn't even have time to be together and...

Why the hell had Blake told me this had a nice ending! That mean idiot! At least I would have expected it!

And why did he hate Don Carlos? I hated freaking Gomez! I would have strangled him myself! That stupid bastard! He could have at least let them have their wedding night! He could have let them just one freaking night!

But he hadn't and now they were both dead! Well all dead. Since the idiot killed himself!

URG!

And here I had thought the play would distract me! It actually had pissed me off!

I thought about calling Blake to yell at him about this but then decided that it would be better face to face so I could punch him a few times! Idiot! He had some explaining to do!

At least that night I was too pissed off about the play to replay the kiss in my head. But that still didn't help on the whole "falling asleep" deal...

Next morning I didn't have to wake Tyler up. He was already in the kitchen when I got downstairs, clothed and sitting at the counter with his bowl of cereal in front of him.

"Someone's in a hurry to get to school" I smirked at him and yawned while walking to the coffee machine.

Coffee was definitely a blessing these days.

"There's not even a point in arguing on this" Tyler answered shrugging.

"You're cute" I laughed a little.

"Is... she... she's going to be there at school today right?" Tyler finally asked me when I sat in front of him with my mug in my hands.

I smiled "Yes, but just in the afternoon and she's going to be with the people that will be in the show helping them and giving them advice. Oh and we're going to that show by the way. It's Saturday night. Anyway, she's going to eat at her grandparents and then she's coming over. Around seven thirty maybe." I started to rant and for once he actually looked like he was listening and listening INTENTLY on what I was saying.

I wanted to laugh at that but decided against it.

"So she's going to be at the school in the afternoon?"

"Yes" I nodded and then frowned "Are you going to go all stalker on her?"

"That's my business" Tyler said still frowning.

"Just let her breath for two second alright? I know you missed her and you want to see her but don't smother her alright? You know how she is, if you do that you're doomed and then you guys will only argue and all of this will have been done for nothing"

"I'm going to do whatever the beep I want!" Tyler scowled and I rolled my eyes at him.

Stubborn ass...

When we got to school, all I wanted to do was to see Blake so I could yell at him a bit.

The second I saw him walk through the front door and in the hall towards his locker I rushed to him.

He seemed to enjoy that though and smirked at me but before he could say anything I punched him hard on the shoulder.

"Hey! What the hell was that for?" Blake whined, grabbing my fist so I wouldn't punch him again.

"You're a liar!"

"What?" Blake frowned, confusion and worry evident in his eyes.

"I read the freaking play last night! A NICE ending! You call Hernani and Dona Sol dying, a NICE ending!?" I hissed and punched him with my other fist which he grabbed with his other hand.

And now he lost the worried look and smiled a little "Depends on what you consider a nice ending"

"THAT wasn't a nice ending! That was a freaking SAD ending alright?" I shouted at him.

"Did you cry?" Blake smirked

"You asshole! Don't you dare smirking! You said that was a nice ending! How is them dying a nice ending!"

"They died together. Together. He was in her arms. Not everyone has that luck. To die in the arms of the one they love. I think it's a fairly good ending considering everything." Blake explained to me, his eyes intense on me.

And now I was aware of how close our bodies were and that kissing him woul have been quite easy again.

Freaking kiss haunting me all the time!

"Your definition of a good ending sucks, Blake!" I scowled at him.

"Aww come on, don't be like that! Want me to kiss the sadness away"

Yes please.

"Little bitch!" I kept scowling making him laugh.

And that's when the bell rang.

So I dropped the matter and when Blake finally released my fists I left to get to my class with Mrs. Muffin while he left for his.

While the top conversation in the class seemed to be about the school trip next week, Alex and I were all but bouncing up and down thinking that our friend would be here soon.

It was an understatement to say we had missed our Goldilocks.

I got a text from her just a few minutes after lunch saying she was here. Needless to say I was happy. But she was at the complete opposite of where my classes were so there would be no time for me to see her if I didn't want to be late plus I knew I would see her tonight.

Still I couldn't wait for school to be over so I could jump up and down with her and just see her. It had been so long. And even though I had Daph and Alex, Vanessa was Vanessa and no one could replace her. No one could replace one of your friends. No one could replace your best friend since first grade.

Tyler didn't ride back home with me since he had a soccer practice so I ended up going back home alone at the end of the day. I thought about the fact I should have said yes to Blake, to help him with math but it was kind of too late now.

So instead I cleaned up a little and then I tried to draw a little to ease up my mind. Though the subjects seemed to repeat themselves and made me look as obsessed as I was so I stopped after a little while.

Tyler finally got home. He had gotten a ride with Landon. And then dad got home and we all ate together at the counter but my dad was finding a lot of amusement in Tyler's weird behavior so he ended up leaving to eat in the living room.

"Your brother is becoming touchy, don't you think" dad said and laughed.

"Tell me about it" I chuckled.

"Ah the strange behaviors of kids in love..." dad half smiled.

I smiled a little too.

"Speaking of kids in love, I didn't get a chance to talk to you last night but next time your little friend decides to come see you in the middle of the night I would enjoy he doesn't rip off the gutter. Oh and maybe... you know normal hour visit, that sort of thing. I enjoy that kid but I enjoy my gutter too." Dad stated to rant, smirking wider as my eyes bulge wider.

Oh. My. Freaking. GOD.

Oh my god, my god, my god, my god!

"Okay, seriously sorry dad, I had nothing to do with it, it was ALL his fault, and I'm sorry about the gutter and nothing happened and I'M SORRY!" I freaked but dad just laughed.

"Typical. Put all the blame on the boy. Just... don't do anything stupid alright?" my father asked.

That's it?

Dad seemed to find amusement in my shock and patted my arm but before he could add anything the bell rang.

"I GOT IT!" Tyler yelled and then actually sprinted to the door, while I got on my feet instantly and ran too.

When I got to the door, it was open and there she stood, blondest girl I knew with her baby blue eyes and her freckles and her jeans with holes and the biggest smile I had ever seen on her and brother or no brother I didn't give a crap I ran and almost jump in her arms and then we were doing the bouncing thing, squealing like two years old.

"You're here!" I finally said when we stopped jumping up and down, smiling as much as her.

"Hell yeah!" she answered "Gosh I missed you!"

"I missed you too! We all freaking missed you!"

"Stupid art school!" she said and then I just had to hug her again because I realized how much I really had missed her.

I didn't want to ruin the moment for Tyler but it was a little too late now because he had left and walked back to the living room.

When I realized that I said "Oh crap" but Vanessa just shrugged and said it was alright and we had some catching up to do anyway.

So I helped her with her bag, taking them to Anna's room and then we went into mine, sitting on my bed, like we used to and then the catching up started.

"So what have I been missing?"

"Well you know about Alex's boyfriend right? Travis. He's nice but Alex's being an idiot with the whole being gay thing and the fact that he doesn't want to talk about it will probably ruin his relation and..." I stopped talking because she was giving me the look. "What?" I asked self-conscious.

"I already know all of that and I will talk about Alex's problem with Alex. Now I'm with Lexi. I want to hear about Lexi's problem!"

"I don't..." I sighed because I knew there was no point in denying. I could hide it to her on the phone but not in her face "Blake kissed me..."

"OH. MY. GOD!"

"Ya..."

"So what? Are you two dating now?"

"Nope. He kissed me during the play. It wasn't really real, or at least I don't think it was. I could have been. Probably not... It's all freaking confused in my head that's for sure!" I groaned.

"But you like him?" she asked.

"No... I mean I don't... I just... look it's like, I can't like Blake. It's BLAKE. It's just not possible. And I mean, just at the beginning of the year the boy annoyed the crap out of me. How could I like him now? At the beginning of the year I thought his name was Drake! HOW could I like him now?"

Vanessa rolled her eyes at me "Oh please! All that resentment was just denied liking!"

"Now you please!"
