Can You Keep a Secret

Heyyy!
This is an extremely short chapter and for that I apologize, but I haven't had any mental juice to write so this is the best I could do.
Anywho..
I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Please, don't cover up for me. I was just enjoying the show." Xavier says sarcastically.

Alec wipes his face off with his hand before sucking one of his fingers clean, creating a popping sound when he removed his finger from his mouth.
"Now, Xavier. What the fuck do you want boy?"

Xavier just laughs as he looks between Alec and I. Although Alec remains completely composed, his fly is still undone, granted he put himself away.
I on the other hand am a complete mess and absolutely disheveled.
I'm practically scrounging around for every bit of fabric to cover every inch of skin showing at this rate. "How does your daughter," he starts, glancing at Alec, then to me, "your best friend Joslyn feel about all this? Like she must obviously know considering your fucking in public right?"

Alec's jaw clenches and I look away, my eyes zoning in on a random blade of grass to try and keep my calm as my face begins to burn with realization at what just happened and with who.

I just came... all over my friends dads face.
Oh. My. God.

Oh my.... Fucking... God!!! How can I do such a thing?!

A panic attack begins to swell in my chest and as I feel my lungs tighten, I try to remain calm as Xavier releases a wicked laugh. "She doesn't know? You're kidding right? How doesn't she know that her Dad and best friend are sucking face and fuckin' in his truck! This is fucking gold you know that? Wait until she find out!" He beams with a viscous gaze before he goes to turn around.

Alec stands firm after glancing my way and seeing the clear sight of panic in my eyes. "Xavier, get your ass back here."

Xavier grins before waltzing over as if he just won the lottery. "What is it? Sir." He smirks.

Alec growls in annoyance before asking, "what do you want to keep your fucking mouth shut, name your price."

He just laughs, "I don't want your fucking money man."

I finally speak up from inside the truck, my voice breaking from how dry my throat is. "What do you w-want Xavier?"

"You." He says coldly. "I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend for the entire summer. That means dates. Late nights at the drive in, public kisses and all that shit."

Alec goes to lunge at Xavier but stops when I speak, "why would you want that? Why not get a real girlfriend?"

"Because you're exotic compared to all the girls here. And your body is something guys die of touching. Am I right man?" He winks at Alec, but only gets a glare in return.

"She won't be doing that." Alec growls.

"Fine. Then have fun getting cut off by Joslyn. The both of you."

"Wait." I start, "I'll pretend to be your girlfriend. But only for one month. Got it?"

Xavier beams with a dark smile, "well seems like we have a deal. I'll pick you up tomorrow at six to discuss our arrangement."

Once Xavier left, Alec swiftly gets himself together and climbed back into the truck. We quickly get back onto the road and drove in silence.

It quickly becomes tense and the air seeming almost too thick to breathe.
Part of me wants to talk about what just happened but part of me is too nervous and scared to even speak about it.

In all honesty I don't even know where I'd start with a discussion. I don't even know how I feel about it all.
The things I feel towards Alec are indescribable, and electrifying... but Joslyn is my soulmate of friends, my sister by choice... I can't risk hurting her.

What feels like an hour but was only ten minutes pass before we pull up a long gravel driveway, apple trees and magnolias on either side of the driveway. A beautiful farmhouse sits at the end of the driveway, and of course it has a classic large porch.

I look closer and see an older man sitting on a rocking chair, rocking back and forth, as he offers a gentle wave our direction.

I see Alec in the corner of my eye wave back at the man.
As he parks the truck he looks at me, clearly and somehow unfazed by our situation, "ready to meet my dad?" He smirks.
