ALEC

Jen grins widely at me as she climbs into my car. Lexy is chewing her lip uncomfortably.

“What's up, Princess?” I ask her as I pull away from Jen's flat. “Was Jen farting all night?”

“Get lost, Johnson!” Jen kicks the back of my seat. I laugh.

“Jayna called me this morning,” Lexy says in a wary voice. “It's her birthday tomorrow, and everyone is going out tonight. She said she wants to see me since I 'fucked off to Devon and deserted her all summer'.” Her jaw is clenched when she finishes speaking.

“And what did you say?” I ask hesitantly.

“I told her I was busy helping you and Jen settle in, and if I could go out, I would.”

“And you don't wanna ask what happened then!” Jen shakes her head. “Oh, hell to the no you don't.”

Well, of course I want to fucking know now.

“Princess?” I touch her thigh.

Lexy gives a frustrated sigh. “She said if I was shallow enough to pick my new boyfriend and “some chick” I haven't spoken to for years over her, then I'm not as good a friend as she thought.”

My teeth grind, and I focus back on the road. “I don't know where I'm going, by the way.”

“Nice topic change there, Al,” Jen snipes sarcastically.

I glance at her in the rear-view mirror, narrowing my eyes slightly. “I'm not kidding.”

Lexy sighs. “Left, right, right round the roundabout, and right into the car park. We'll walk from there,” she mumbles.

I swallow a lump of annoyance, and nod once. My fingers tap against the steering wheel as I make the turns she said.

I knew coming to London would be hard, but it's only been a week and Lexy is already having issues with her friends. But then, are they really her friends if they have a problem with her being happy? I have no idea.

“Are you going?” I ask, parking the car.

Lexy unclips the seatbelt, and leans her head back against the headrest. “I suppose I have to.”

“Don't do it if you don't want to,” Jen pipes in. “I mean, I know I don't know her, but she sounds like a prize cow. If she was at the North Devon Show, she'd win first prize, rosette and all.”

I snort but quickly disguise it as a cough.

“Mmm,” Lexy says uncertainly. “I'm just not looking forward to seeing all my friends again, I guess. I didn't realise how much I changed in Devon until I spoke to Jayna again.”

She jumps from the car and I climb out, stopping her before she walks away. I grab her hand, and smooth some hair back from her hair. She turns her face into my hand.

“You have changed since I first met you, Princess,” I mutter. “But it's a good change. If your friends can't see that for what it is then they don't really deserve to call themselves your friend. You're damn amazing, Alexis Edwards, I mean that.”

Lexy presses her lips to my wrist and touches her hand to mine. “Will you come with me? I hate to ask, but if I get annoyed I can leave.
