Alex & Sam - Jeniffer M (graded readers TXT) 📗

washroom. I was angrily hurt.>

“Hey baby... did you miss me?!” <He looked disappointed too. He was trying to say something and couldn’t finish. He looked me in the eyes and I saw the sadness hidden behind the bright less eyes. He was hurt too, but why?>

“Let’s go. Bye Alex.”

I didn’t say anything. I just watch him leave with the beautiful blond in the mini black dress. I was so hurt, a felt like wanting to run away and never come back. I was holding back tears and my hands were shaking so bad. Just then David came to look for me.

“Hey, those girls really know how to shake their ...” < when he saw me he stopped talking. Worry was showing in his face.>

“What’s going on Alex, are you ok?” < I shake my head unable to speak.>

“OK... do you want to talk about it?” < I shake my head again.>

“Do you want to leave?” <I nodded... I didn’t want to be in the same place that Sam anymore.>

“Ok... let’s go. I will take you home.”


We didn’t say good bye to the other people in the party. When we got to the parking lot, David was about to open the door when, an impulse to do something to forget about Sam invaded me and, I pull David’s arm. When he turned to look at me, I pull him closer to me ... close until we were nose to nose, and he was looking at me like trying to decipher a code or something. Then he heritage no more and kiss me. Hi pull me even closer hugging me and kissing me very sweet at first, but getting hungrier every minute. He put one hand in my back above my waist and the other in my neck. I forgot about myself and instead of think, I was just feeling. David was a very good kisser and was making me breath fast! He then put his back on the car and kept kissing and hugging me. Our breathing became a little hard. I was feeling lost in his kisses but he began to stop gently and push me back and just hug me.

“Are you feeling better?” <He gently whispered in my ear.>

At that moment I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. I started to cry and David was hogging me tighter, comforting me like and old brother, stroking my hair with care. I was hugging him back with desperate need.

“Tell me who broke your hart Alex, and I will break his face!” <He said that whispering too, but he means it. He was a little angry. I couldn’t speak; I was making an effort to breath. We stood there until I calmed down.>

I didn’t tell a word. David took me home and told me during the ride that if I wanted, he would be there for me for whatever I wanted, a friend or boyfriend. And whichever I choose, his feeling weren’t going to change. At the front door of my house he gave me a light kiss on the lips and said good bye. I went to my room, change into my PJs and sent a text to Yami to let her know that I left the party and was at home, also to asked her to tell sorry from me to Johnny. Then I went to bed and felt sleep crying.

The next day, when I opened my eyes Yami was in the armchair with her head on her shoulders. She was dress in jeans and pink top. She looked tired. I sit down on the bed and felt a humongous headache, one I have never had before. My eyes were swollen and I looked like a frog! I called Yami with my husky voice, she wake up and in an instant she was next to me on the bed, hugging me.

“Honey! I was so worry… Alice was the one who let me in. She told me to wake you up but I couldn’t and …”

“I’m fine. I mean, I feel terrible but, I fine.”

“So what happen last night?”

“I saw him… he was with blonde and … I don’t know. The conversation was awkward and he was trying to say something that didn’t make any sense and… I don’t know Yami… He was somebody else. He isn’t the Samuel that we met, now I’m sure about it.”

“I saw him too… and…” <Why was Yami blushing?>

“What? Tell me!”

“I saw you… you and David… in the parking lot.” <And then I remember what David and I did in the parking lot and I felt like fever! I felt hot and surely I was blushing too!>

“OMG! Yami… That was… I just… I was so hurt because of Sam and … David was there. <sigh> What a mess”

“Did you… umm … you know…” <Yami and her little dirty mind!>

“NOOO! We were just kissing, nothing more… He realized that I was sad and he comforts me but he knew that I was… umm… using him. And he let me do it anyway.”

“What a nice guy. Why didn’t you fall for him instead?”

“Well that’s a good question! Can you give me the answer?” <I was chuckling, we do think alike.>

“I’m afraid I can’t! But it’s nice to see you do feel better” <She was laughing softly.>

“With BBF like you, it’s easier you know.”

“Alex. I have to tell you something. Sam told me to not to but, I believe is important.”

“What is it?”

“He was there too. He saw you kissing David, and he was about to go to where you were but I didn’t let him.”

“OMG Yami… Did he-“

“He was mad… no, he was jealous. Alex, something happen. He now thinks he is not good enough for you. He thinks you don’t deserve him.”

“He what!? Who he think he is to decide that for me!! <Soddenly I was angry at him! Why didn’t he just tell me what was going on! Coward!>

“I told him the exact same thing. But, I wanted to let you know because; I saw that he cares about you. He, in his own way, is protecting you from something. So don’t hate him… Let him be and wait a bit more. I know he will come around.”

“I don’t know… I think I should move on. I can’t keep pretending he is my long distant boyfriend anymore. He is not even a friend anymore!”

“So, you plan to move on using David?”

“Mmm … Maybe. I don’t know.”

“Was David that good? From where I saw, and I saw the whole show, he was letting you use him and he was having a great time too!” <She was laughing at me and I was bright red. Some BBF!>

“I’m not going to answer THAT!!” <I stick out my tongue like a little child.>

“Oh but you don’t need honey, is written all over your face!”

“Stop it!!” <She was having fun teasing me>

“Oh boy… Well… get up already and have a shower. I’m going to prepare some camomile.”

“Camomile? What for?”

“To put some in your eyes! You are not going out looking like the little rain forest frog you know!”

Yamilet was really the best friend that anybody could have. She was always there for me and I didn’t have to even call her. She knew me and will come, whatever happens to me. I was the same with her too, but lately, it was always me the one needing help.

I took a shower and then dress up. Jeans and a shirt will do. I was getting to the kitchen when I heard Alice speaking with Yami and couldn’t move. I ended it eavesdropping. Alice was telling to Yami about the Sam’s ex-girlfriend who in front of him, she jumped in from of the train after they broke up! I was frozen in the hall, assimilating what I just heard. Minutes pass and all was silence. I enter the Kitchen and saw Yami in shock too…

“Who told you that?” <I asked Alice, almost whispering. Tears were falling down of my face and Yami’s as well. Alice was sad.>

“Georges.”

“When?”

“Mmm… last week.”

“No… When that it happen?”

“It was On Christmas Eve.”

Chapter 3 Sam’s Memories

“Worry weight a person down; and encroaching words
Cheers a person up” Prov-12:25

“Yes Mr. Samuel, your bank account has been updated and the money is available for you any time now. Only I will have to ask you to wait a little more for a provisional debit card”

“OK.” <Where is Georges? He was going to buy just cigarettes, not to fabricate them! I don’t feel like wandering in the mall... Girls like malls... Alex likes the mall. This Mall brings so many memories. I want to forget... I wish I could forget.>

“OK Mr Samuel, here you go. Please sing here and ... Here.”

“Ok. Thank You”

“Have a nice Day Mr. Samuel” <Why did she call me “Mr Samuel”, I’m not fifty! >

“Yea... You too” <Oh there is Georges. He is with a girl. Typical!>

OMG!! He is with Alex! So much to avoid her... I should have known... I didn’t want to see her so soon. I’m not ready for this. I promised myself to not let another girl fall for me. How can I do that to my sweet little Alex? I have already hurt her, and I’m about to do it again. I hate you Georges!

“Yea, Samuel and me... actually, I’m waiting for him” <Georges, please! Don’t open your big fat mouth!>

“Oh, hey bro, remember Alex right?”

The hell I remember her... every day, every hour, every minute. I remember everything like if were yesterday.”! I Remember her beautiful long and dark brown hair, and eyes brawn looking at me with so love, soft fear skin, the kisses, the hugs. I will always remember Alexandra Jones. Thanks “Bro”!

“Hello Samuel! Welcome back”.

“Hi Alex, thanks. Umm... Georges, it’s late, let’s go. Nice to see you Alex”. < She was so beautiful, she was looking more womanly and her hair was longer. Forgive me Alex! I have hurt you but I won’t be the rock in your shoe. I will not let you keep waiting for me. I must set you free. I will remember you always.>

“Ok, see you around Alex! Take care! Say Hi to Alice from me!”

“Bye Georges, Bye Samuel, see you around.”

Don’t look back... Don’t look back. Samuel, you made a promise so don’t you dare to look back at her.

“What the hell was that Sam!?”

“Shut up Georges!! What did you tell her?”

“Nothing! Just that we came back a few weeks ago”.

“Only that!! That’s enough Georges! Now she must been thinking....<sigh> Crap... I’m so not ready for this right now. Give me the cigarettes”. < I opened the package of cigarettes and started to smoke.>

“Well, sooner o later you will have to face it. How much longer will you be
