"Are you serious?! I always wanted a mystery gift. How are you going to find out who it is?" Leah asked

"I don't know, the letter said once I guess who it is, then the person will give it to me. I am still confuse on why they couldn't come out and confront me. Like I'm going to rip their face off." I said.

Leah gasped on the phone, "I think I got it!!"

I sat up from my bed, "What?? You have an idea who could be the secret person??"

She chuckled and replied, "First off; we are so changing the code name and second; What if you know the person and they're waiting for the right moment to give you the key and to confess their desire love to you?" Leah suggested.

I thought about it. Desire love? Why would someone love me? "No, who would fall for me? I'm not girlfriend material or even girl material much less."

I knew Leah rolled her eyes because she said "Alex, he related the necklace to your heart. You must be denying feelings for someone and your locking it up."

I chuckled, "Why on earth do you think this person is a guy?"

"Alex think about it? Only a guy would do something like this." Leah said seriously.

This person could be a guy I liked before or a guy I know. I just want to know who it is and why they are keeping their identity a secret?

I sighed, "Leah I love you but I just want to find out who it is and why they did it."

Just then I heard the door bell rung, "Hey Leah? I'll call you later, someone is at the door." Before she could say anything I hung up.

The door bell rung again and I quickly step down the stairs, "Hold your horses I'm--"

I opened the door to reveal Eric at the door. I growled "What the hell do you want!"

He put his hands up and smirked "Woah, somebody is in a crappy mood. Am I allowed in or do I stay outside in the cold?"

The first thing that came to my mind me was to slam the door in his face and call back Leah. But! he could be one of my suspect for the secret gift.

I ran my fingers through my hair and then opened the door a bit more, "Since I have manners. You can come in for a little bit."

He step inside and looked around, "Nothing really changed since I was gone huh?"

I ignored him and made my way to the kitchen. "Since you were 'cold' would you like some tea?"

He was still looking at the pictures, "Why yes, Chai would do the trick."

In shocked, he likes the same tea that I do, Weird...

I turned on the electric Kettle and opened the cupboard to reveal a large box of chocolate chip cookies. I dropped the box of cookies on the table and took one out.

I pushed the box towards Eric and he gladly grabbed a couple. We sat their in slience just listening to our thoughts.

He dust off his hands and said, "So how have you been?? You changed so muc--"

"cut to the chase Truman, what do you want?"

His expression was blank, "What are you talking about? I came over to catch up with you."

"Well why don't you go across the street to the Carter's. You and Andrew seem like bestie." I snapped

He sighed, "I know you're still mad about the whole thing but I'm really sorry. I left town because I felt guilty, I hurt you a lot and I'm very sorry. If I could change everything I would. Even if it takes to shower in ice water or pull a huge prank on Carter," The last part his fist clinched together.

I looked at his fist then his hand, "What happened between you and Andrew? Seemed like he done something bad to you,"

"Me and him... We weren't really on speaking terms before I left."

I was confused, "But you guys played spin the bottle, the same varsity basketball team. You guys were friends. Really close friends."

He rolled his eyes, "Yeah for the act. I hated that guy. I understand why you hate him. he's the one who force me to cheat on you."

"Wait, he force you to cheat on me?" I choked out

Eric nodded his head. "Yeah, I wish I could tell you what the reason was but I can't. He said I couldn't tell anybody." He looked up at me sadly "Not even you."

I felt my fist clinch together. How could Andrew do this?! Well what can I say, he's been treating me terrible ever since I was thirteen, of course he would do something like this!

Eric put his hand on mine, "Hey, I didn't mean to get you upset. I just wanted to tell you from all this time."

I shook my head and I grabbed his hand, "Come on, let's go watch a movie."

We walked into the family room and I turned on the TV and clicked on the red symbol with the word 'Netflix' on it.

"So... What movie do you want to watch?" I asked him. Turning my head towards him, he was to busy staring into space.

"Oh, um..... Breakfast Club." He said.

We watched that movie all the time when we were dating...

I scrolled through the categories and found the Breakfast Club. I double clicked the symbol, then the movie started to play.

Getting comfortable on one side, I glance over at Eric again. "Do you want anything to eat?? I can make popcorn or--"

"It's okay, I'm good." He muttered, then we both looked back towards the TV.

******

The movie stopped and I shut off the TV, "I always love watching the ending. When he fist bumps the air. Kills me everytime." I said

He got up from the couch and stretched. I took the time and started to check him out. His muscles were toned and I swear I saw firmed abs through his--

"Alex I been calling you for 2 minutes now,"

I shook my head and look towards Eric smirking. Sh*t! he caught me.

I quickly stood up and walked towards the door. "Um... I'm guessing you have to go home now??" I stated but hinting that I wanted him to leave.

He nodded his head and picked up his jacket off the kitchen chair. "I had a great time with you today." He smiled

I let out a small smile and nodded my head, "I did too,"

He zipped up his coat and sighed, "I don't really wanna face the cold."

I giggled "It's not that bad! see.." I opened the door and it started to snow. "Well.. I meant that BEFORE it started to snow,"

He gave out a loud chuckled and then stared at me. "Same old Alexandra." He muttered

I pretended that I didn't heard what he said and went back to looking outside the door, "Are you sure you want to leave? It looks like it's gonna be pretty bad out there,"

He put his hand on my shoulder, "Hey I'lll be alright. I still live a block away from your house. I'll make it back in one piece."

Before I could reply he brought me into a hug. I was awfully surprise, so it took me a long time to hug him back. We pulled away and he paused. Looking into my eyes then looking at my lips.

"Eric--" He then smashed him Lips towards mine. I was full on surprise but I kissed him back.

We were kissing for a few minutes until I quickly pulled away. "Oh my god.. I didn't mean for this to happen!!"

He looked down disappointed, "It's okay, I'll just leave," then he left.

Standing in the front foyer looking dumbfounded. He comes over, apologies then kisses me!? I seriously need to get myself checked out.

Just then Andrew came bursting through the door. "hide me! I'm running away from a whining bitch who followed me home and thinks I'm her Baby daddy!.... Hey what's wrong with--"

And I slapped him. Right across the face..

He fell to the floor, groaning in pain. "What the hell was that for?!"

Right now; I don't remember.
