"Let's play a game?" Xavier says, we are currently eating breakfast across from each other in the kitchen.
"What kind of game?"
"Questions" he simply states.
"Sure, you first." I saw as I bite into my toast.
"What's your real full name?"
"Alice Emma Hernandez, but people call me Ace. My turn right? Erm...how old are you?"
"26. What's your favorite color and flower?"
"That's two, but grey and purple. And white roses. Favorite movie?"
"Tarzan, why'd you leave home?"
Well that escalated quickly.... "Because if I stayed there I don't know if I'll ever be okay. Erm how'd your mom die."
"Rogue attack seven years ago. What are your night terrors about?"
"No. You don't get to ask about those."
"Why the hell not?!"
"Because they're none of your concern!"
"What the hell are you still running away from!?"
"Right now? You!" I shout as I walk out of the loft.
I walked all the way back to the beach were I sat in the sand like I did hours before.

"You know, the more you run away, the more he'll chase you." Jacob sat next to me. "You might not like it, but he's never going to let you win."
"He's a dick."
"Yeah but according to fate, he's your dick."
"ALICE!" I hear Xavier tell, running up to me with one white rose. He stops walking when he sees Jacob, he grows slightly. Jacob points to Ally, and walks away.
"Alice, I'm so s-"
"Don't call me Alice!" I bark.
He holds out the white rose as if it was a white flag and he wanted to surrender.
"White roses, right?" He asks as I grab the flower.
"Yeah..." I trail off.
"Ace, will you do me the honor of going out with me tonight?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Nope." He grinned.
"Well then I guess I'll see you tonight." I saw as my shoulder softly brushes against his arm as I walk away. I walked into the loft and put the white rose into a vase.

Well I guess I'm going on my first date tonight...
What the hell have I gotten myself into?
