OCEAN EYES

Chapter 4: Traffic Jam

( Both Povs )

Irebella would look over to her left to see Alexander slouching in the chair. She'd noticed he was staring out of the window looking at the pitch-black sky. Irebella would be holding onto the steering wheel checking her mirrors since the traffic was heavy for a Saturday night as there was a " traffic jam " just ahead of her she opted to use another route making the trip an extra 5 minutes longer.

" Irebella.., are you okay? " Alexander would wonder if he heard her since he was mumbling under his breath. Alexander would be fiddling with his fingers as he'd roll a cigarette waiting for her reply. Irebella would be holding onto the steering wheel by now she'd notice him rolling the cigarette before replying to him with, " Alexander, didn't know you worried about me.. "

Alexander would roll his eyes at her cuffing his hands together before flickering the lighter to alight the cigarette that he had just rolled. " Of course, I care... why wouldn't I? " Irebella would look at Alexander noticing he had just lit the cigarette. " Alexander.. I know you've probably heard this more than a thousand times but Alexander I know you say you care but uh, do you care about yourself first? "

Alexander would be confused saying, " Uh.. Irebella what are you on about? " Irebella would watch Alexander put the cigarette up to his mouth inhaling the smoke when she'd reply with, "How dumb could you be.. I'm saying you act like you care about Alexander but at the end of the day.. you need to care for yourself before you care about others. Really, what I'm trying to say is you smoking is damaging your personally. "

Alexander would think about what she was saying by now processing it slowly as he would laugh. " Smoking? That's not even bad..? " Irebella would roll her eyes, " Whatever you say Mr tough guy.. " Alexander would inhale the smoke once again as he'd look over at her noticing she was focused on the road.

Alexander would look at before saying, " Mr tough guy? You must like you're nicknames, considering when you first met my name was ' Mystery Guy? ' you remember that right? " Irebella would smile looking over at him saying, " Do you want a new nickname then? Is Mr tough guy not enough for you? " Alexander would smirk. " I think i'll stick to Mr tough guy. "

Irebella and Alexander would be laughing the rest of the car way. Conversations could be heard from every single direction. Words turned into sentences, sentences turned into paragraphs and paragraphs turned into a love story just waiting to happen.
