You Don't Know Him Pt.1

Nathalie hated Caline, okay, maybe hated was the wrong word, they had been best friends for a long time. She was always the crazed one of the group though. When she was pregnant, she insisted it was time for Nathalie and Penny both to get back into the dating scene. Penny and Nathalie were both reluctant to agree at first. Penny had a crush on Jagged Stone and Nathalie one on Gabriel Agreste and Caline knew this. Now they sat at separate tables waiting for their first date of the evening to sit down.

"Ax," he says reaching out to shake Nathalie's hand.

"Your name is Ax?" Nathalie asks and hesitates to take his hand.

"It's Alexander but most people just call me Ax," he admits.

"Nathalie," she introduces herself, "just Nathalie."

"It's great to meet you," he smiles and takes a seat.

"Why Ax? Why not Alex?" Nathalie lets her curiosity get the best of her.

"Alex is plain, a name like Ax sticks with a person more, don't you think?"

"It is certainly an impression," she agrees.

"So what do you do for work?" he asks.

"I work as a PA for fashion designer Gabriel Agreste," Nathalie answers.

"Isn't he the dude that killed his wife?"

"You don't know a thing about him!" Nathalie begins shouting, "he loved her and would never do such a thing! That was a stupid rumor! I can't believe you could believe such a thing!"

"I'm sorry," he immediately says, placing a hand on top of hers, "I won't mention it again."

Nathalie realizes she has the majority of the rented-out restaurant looking at her. Was she just supposed to let him talk about Gabriel like that? Of course not, she couldn't sit by and let that happen.

The rest of the night was boring, much as Nathalie expected, she had meant 15 different men and couldn't tell you a single fact about any of them. She could hardly list all their names.

"Alright everyone, that was the last person you are meeting tonight," the coordinator announced, "we are now going to have some mingle time where you can talk to some potential partners more."

Nathalie looked at Penny who was talking to some guy, who looked almost too similar to Jagged Stone. From his longer dark hair which faded to a lime green and his overall attire which matched the rock star's taste. She wanted to say his name was Victor, she remembers their five minutes because she hadn't even been able to introduce herself, he was talking so much. Rolling her eyes, Nathalie went to leave when a hand on her wrist stopped her.

"Where are you going, Nathalie?" Ax asks.

"I'm going home, I didn't want to come tonight and I don't want to be here now."

"Come on, take my number and we can get to know each other better."

Nathalie hesitates again but hands over her phone so that he can put his number in. He gives his phone to her and she puts her number in.

"I'll text you later, beautiful," he smiles.

Maybe she should blush, maybe she should feel like she's on top of the world because someone likes her, but her mind still lingers on Gabriel.

After some time, she at least thinks she has forgotten about Gabriel, romantically. Her job as a PA always kept her busy, she still does work as Mayura but she makes time for her boyfriend now. They have dates twice a week, usually on Mondays and Thursdays because those days are less busy for Nathalie.
