15 He’s Serious

In keeping with the current tradition, I was awakened the next morning by more angry voices at the door. Uncharacteristically, Chelsea was yelling quite loudly.

"I don’t care if you decide to park your dumbass on my porch for an eternity, I’m not letting you talk to her until she chooses to talk to you, so get the hell off my porch!" I had never heard her talk like that to anyone, which made me really wonder what I had already missed.

"No! Desmond, it’s fine! I’m handling this."

"You have ten seconds to get off my property before I let Desmond kick your ass again!"

I heard the front door slam and buried myself under the blankets. This was a nightmare that was clearly not going away. Was that because he really wanted me? Was it because Desmond had left his side as public relations guy? Once again, if he really gave a crap about me, why was he kissing Alexandria? The image hit me again, and I burrowed underneath my pillow trying to hide from the light of day. I succeeded until lunchtime when Desmond came in to talk to me.

"Hey, it’s noon, you thinking about getting up anytime soon?"

My response was to cover my head with my pillow.

"Chelsea said if you aren’t out of bed in an hour she’s going to drag you into the bathroom and throw you into a cold shower." I groaned. Why did everyone have to be so interested in m welfare?

"Chelsea mentioned you saw that," he sounded remorseful and stared at the floor. "You didn’t see the look on your face, Lex. God, you looked worse than when dad died. I knew what was happening then. I was so mad at him and at myself for not knowing about it. I wasn’t thinking. I should’ve been paying attention to you instead of my own anger. I’m sorry, Lex"

"It’s okay, I’m sorry for keeping it from you." Trying to lighten the mood I added, "Well, at least he’s getting some bad publicity out of this."

"He’s getting more than that," he chuckled, but there was no real humor in his voice. "They black flagged him today for aggressive driving. He and Jake were smashing into each other left and right, they finally threw him out of the race."

"Good," I said, but I didn’t feel good. He was upset and angry, but why? Could he be upset that he hurt me? No, he was probably upset at the negative publicity this all led to. Probably upset that he had even hooked up with me to begin with.

Desmond drew me out of my thoughts again, "Sis, I love you, but you smell, get your butt up, and take a shower."

Emerging from my room, I found Desmond and Chelsea sitting on opposite couches typing away on their laptops. Was I the
