REINCARNATION: SUMMONER TO SPEEDSTER

CHAPTER TWO

“So what are you up to today, Mike” said an angelic voice from beside me. The owner of the voice was Alice McFly. Well, she is my best friend. Our parents have known each other for over 15 years. So by proxy we ended up playing together since we were kids. I turn towards her. She is a beauty. I like her. I guess more than a friend. But I also know that she likes me but as a friend, nothing more than that. And if I ever admitted that, I love her. I might lose her. So I never tried. I felt it for the first time on the prom night. Well, it turned out that she was going with James Carter. He is everything a girl might want, I guess. He was good looking, rich.

It’s not that I’m poor. My mom and dad formed CARSON ENTERPRISES. It’s a software industry. One of the top 20 in the world. It’s not that I’m not good looking. But compared to Carter.....yeah.

“What are you looking at, jerk ? “ Alice says with a mock anger. “Oh.. no..nothing. “I stammered.

Everyone in our college knows I have a thing for Alice... Well, except Alice, everyone knows, even Carter knows it. But he is using her to make me jealous and angry. I have known his intentions from the beginning. I tried to warn her. She just said, “ You are jealous of him. So you are making it up. “ That was the first time we ever fought. Oh yeah, we never fought before. Hard to believe, but true.

We are walking towards the cafe at the corner of the street. It’s one of our favorite place to hang out since we turned 13 . I pushed open the door and said to Alice, “mah lady.. “.Yeah, I’m a gentleman.

Alice just snorts. “ Morning Joe” . We both greet at the same time to Joe. He is the owner of the cafe. We work their part-time. We are both rich, but we want to stand on our own feet. “Hey kids. Change to work clothes. It will be busy soon. “ Usually we start our work at evening. But today we don’t have classes. We both change into our clothes and come back. Alice at the counter with me. Joe sitting inside an office. But he can see everything. I don’t know how. Coz When I went to his office one time. I couldn’t see a thing. Then I thought it might be a camera . But no. It remains a mystery.

We work. 10-12 customer having a coffee at the tables.Nothing spectacular happened until 11.When in comes a jerk. Yeah Carter. Fuckin Carter.Along with his sidekicks Gary and Barry. Man, I don’t know how he found sidekicks with rhyming name.

“Hey babe, “ he says cockily, glancing towards Alice for a sec and then smirks at me. I thought they were a thing Alice and Carter. But I guess I was wrong. Because now Alice is angry. Yeah, angry. More angry than the day we fought. Like she could kill him if he stood there a sec more.

She says, “ What are you doing here, you bitch ? “

Carter just laughs and says, “Is it how you speak to a customer ? “Alice fumes and she yells, “ You used me, you fucker. Just so you can play your game of fucking Mike. I told you not to meet me. And it is over between us. And if you try anything. You will regret it. “Carter smirks and says, “ I just came for coffee. But I wouldn’t mind if they serve you with my coffee. I would like to eat you. “Alice turns red with anger. She says with a laugh, “ Oh.. I wouldn’t want you to eat me. Man, your stamina is not good at all. And go to the men’s room and see the size of your d*ck. It’s the size of a match stick for fuck’s sake. “ Everyone present there laughs. Carter’s sidekicks, me, that 10-12 customers. Some were even taking a video.

“What did you say, you bitch ? “ He fumes. His lips trembling with rage. Yeah, lips trembling. I don’t know it might be genetic I guess. Coz I haven’t seen someone’s lips trembling with rage.

Now I needed to step in between them . Not cause Alice can’t handle him. But because now since Alice is not with him. I want to make him pay for the things he did.

I said, “ Now Back off big guy. You know what. First, I’m sorry about your stick. Oh shit, I forgot you are dumb . Ok I’ll speak again all right. I’m sorry about your dick. And you better get out of here. Or I’ll beat the shit out of you. “ Cracking my knuckles to make my point.

Carter has a body of a normal jock. But I’m fairly built. And I have had my ways with Mixed Martial arts.I know krav maga, muay thai, taekwondo. So yeah, I could beat the shit out of him.

Well, they backed off, but Carter said before closing the door, “This ain’t over, Carson. You will regret this moment. And you too bitch. “.Then he closed the door. We didn’t care about his words. Because he was all bark and no bite guy. So yeah.

After our shift was done. We went for lunch. Me and Alice. She was now different. I don’t know how. But she was different. I respect her more. I love her more. But I don’t know the reason.

While we were eating, I noticed she was frequently glancing at me. But when I looked at her. It was like she didn’t even glance at me. But I knew I was not hallucinating coz she was blushing. Yeah, her porcelain skin was beet red. I noticed her breathing became fast , when she looked at me. And we were just looking at each other. She turned red. But didn’t look away. After we finished eating and we paid. She took my hands and now we were walking hand in hand.

Yeah, walking. We are rich. But truth be told. I didn’t like cars. I liked motorcycles. But today we walked since the cafe is just a 5-minute walk away.

Then we went to watch movies.We went for dinner.Then we walked back to our houses. Still hand in hand. It was getting dark. When we reached at Alice’s house, she stood for a second, turned towards me and did something I never expected.

She stood on her tip toes and kissed me. It was soft at first.Then we both started kissing each other passionately. Like we were hungry for each other for years. We were kissing each other and now we had to break away to breathe . But neither me nor her wanted to stop. She took my hand and led me to her house. Her mom and dad were there in the house. She yelled when she got in the house, “MOM, I’M BACK. MIKE IS ALSO WITH ME. WE ARE GOING TO MY ROOM . “ Her mom and dad came from the kitchen and gave me a knowing smile. Alice noticed it. She blurts, “It’s not like that.” Alice’s dad says, “It’s not a problem. Actually, if you were to do the thing we think, then we are happy. Sweety , I told you that Mike likes you from the beginning. And he is a pleasant fellow. Unlike James. “

He looked at his wife and said, “We should probably call Carsons and tell them the news. “

Alice says blushing to roots, “It’s not like we are marrying or something. “

Now it’s Alice’s mom who says, “You know it would happen. When you were with Carter. I have seen the way you looked at him. So yeah. “

Both of her mom and dad went into the kitchen back with a phone in hand of Alice’s dad.

Alice then led me to her room. She was still blushing. I smirked knowingly and said, “You alright ? “ Alice mock glares and says, “Shut up. “

“Oh, what are we shutting ? “ I said, grabbing Alice by her waist. Now we were close to each other. We were looking at each other. I bent and kissed her.

We laid on her bed. Alice resting her head on my chest. She mumbles, “I love you.. I loved you always.. since we were little. But I didn’t know whether you loved me. And then today how you were protecting me, I couldn’t resist any longer. “

“I love you too, Alice. And I’ll love you always. Now sleep. Okay. “ I said. But she was already asleep with a sleepy smile. But she murmured about knowing that I loved her too. She also said she was sorry for not telling sooner.

Then we both fell asleep.
