| PART 5 It�s been almost two weeks since the incident just outside the bathroom door and Cameron hasn�t been able to talk to Alexis at all. She�s basically averted every attempt he�s tired at small talk, which is totally driving Cameron crazy. He wants Alexis he knows Alexis wants him and he can�t figure out why she�s ignoring him. He�s even gone so far as to get up early or stay up late just to try and catch her. However she�s either been sleeping in late, or should I say pretending to sleep in late, getting up even earlier then usual and sneaking out or coming home so late that�s she found him sound asleep on the couch. However what he doesn�t know is the longing, sexual, wanting him looks she�d give him when she found him like that. One night she even caught herself watching him sleep for over two hours. She was more confused of her feelings then he was. Cameron decided one morning that this morning was the morning that he was going to confront her, find out what�s what. He stood outside her bedroom door for almost twenty minutes when the fire alarm when off in the kitchen. �Cameron what�s wrong.� Alexis screamed from her room. Running to the kitchen. �Don�t worry I forgot I had something on the stove I�ll get it.� Alexis took this as her chance to escape. She opened her bedroom door and looked down the hall. Quickly she grabbed her briefcase off her chair, grabbed her coat and headed for the door. �Alexis I made breakfast.� Cameron said as she placed her hand on the doorknob. Alexis looked back at him. He looked so pathetic standing in the doorframe holding a frying pan with god only knows what in it. �Sorry I don�t have time to eat. I�m late for court.� He walked towards her. �I know this is burnt but if you just give me ten minutes I can make us something else.� Talking very fast. �I can�t I told you I�m late.� She opens the door. Don�t wait up for me.� �Alexis we really need to talk.� �I�ll call you later.� And with that she walked out closing the door behind her. Playing with his burnt eggs. �That�s what you always say but never do.� Door bell rings. Cameron walks over and answers it. �Looks good dad, thankfully I�ve already eaten.� Sarcastically. �It wasn�t for you it was for Alexis.� Laughing. �You feed her food like that and you wonder why she won�t talk to you.� �Alexander like I told you the other day on the phone why Alexis isn�t talking to me is a lot worse then that.� Sitting on the couch. �So pops what did you do to her.� Shaking his head, like he can�t believe he�s going to talk to his son about his love life. �I tired to get close to her and I think I stepped over a line.� Appalled �You didn�t---� �NO! I�d never.� �Then what did you do.� Sitting on the arm of the couch. �I kissed her ----- a few times---- and well she kissed me back----� �And?� Getting very uncomfortable. �And one thing kind of lead to another.� �And the two of you----- actually---- well you know.� �No we didn�t.� �Why not?� Cameron looks at him. �Why not?� �Yea why not. Why didn�t you and Alexis sleep together.� Cameron gets up and walks across the room. �I really don�t think we should be talking about this.� �Aren�t you the one who always said the best way to figure things out is to talk about them.� �Yes, but I never said anything about talking to my son about my sex or lack of sex life.� Somewhat laughing. �Why not we�re both men.� Patting him on the shoulder. �I think you know more about my sex life then you need to know.� �Okay seriously dad, you just have to be patient with her.� �Alexander we�ve been living together for a while now and I know the feeling is mutual. I just can�t seem to get her to open up, to trust that I won�t hurt her.� �Maybe you should tell her that.� �I have son really I have, and it�s like she isn�t even listening to me.� He picks up the burnt eggs. �Look I even made her breakfast this morning.� He looks down at them. �Or at least I tired. Have you ever seen me make breakfast for your mother?� Laughing. �No and now I know why mom would never let you in the kitchen.� Dropping the pan on the coffee table. �Zander this isn�t funny.� Walking over to him. �I�m sorry Dad and your right this isn�t funny.� Becoming extremely serious. �Maybe instead of cooking breakfast for Alexis you should take her out to a fancy restaurant, ask her to dance, laugh a little, drink a little and just have fun. I know Alexis could really use a good friend, and by the looks of you and those eggs so could you.� �Do you honestly think taking her out to dinner is going to help any.� �Well it couldn�t make matters worse and yes I really think it will. You and Alexis were thrown into this relationship, whatever kind it is that you have, because of a baby and a mean old judge who has it out for Alexis. Take things with her slow, but not to slow, let her know your there for her just by being yourself, not by trying to impress her. And whatever you do try not to be so damn controlling and let the woman have her space no matter how much space she needs.� �How�d you get so smart.� Zander walks towards the door. �Oh another thing don�t fight with her so much. I know this is hard for you to believe but you aren�t always right.� �Wait.� Cameron yells as Zander opens the door. �How am I going to get Alexis to meet me for dinner when she won�t even talk to me.� Smiling. �Don�t worry dad you just be at that new little restraunt that opened up around the corner by 7pm and I�ll take care of the rest.� �Thanks son.� �Don�t mention it.� |
