I blushed and looked down at my feet.

Alex... I thought dreamily to myself. 

As thought he could hear my thoughts he chuckled, "So I guess you're wondering as to why I'm here."

I looked up at him and thought about saying 'No the thought never crossed my mind, but you certainly did.' But I didn't. I definitely did not have the balls...or lady balls. "Yeah," I said lamely, nothing flirtatious whatsoever.

"Well, the Queen of Cerran has requested an audience with you, uhh...I never got your name." He added with a wink. See?! Why can't I have the balls to flirt with this insanely sexy guy right in front of me? I swear, my brain won't let me think.

My heart started pounding slightly faster, "Aria. Aria Whitney." I stuck my hand out, like the turd I was.

He chuckled again, and took my hand, bringing them up to those sinfully hot lips and kissed it. My face turned beet red and my heart started jumping out of my chest. Can you say that he is the most perfect man alive?

I looked down at my clothes and saw what I was wearing. To be honest, even though I think I look hot. It was kinda skanky. Not really my style. "Umm..can I get some new clothes? I don't exactly want to meet the queen in...lingerie." 

That gave him the opportunity to run his eyes down my body multiple times, "You sure? I think you look pretty hot."

My heart just about exploded.

I giggled nervously and giddily, "Well...yeah I'm sure."

He shrugged, running his hand through his hair, "Alright then, follow me, Aria." He said my name with such intensity that it sent shivers through my body. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I tried to focus. I'm meeting the queen, what the hell do I wear?!

He led me down to a closet, winking to a few serving girls walking around, making them giggle and blush, stirred a bout of jealousy. Of course he's gonna flirt with other girls, he's friggen hot! And to think I was special.

With that thought to sober me up, I stood up a little taller, and watched Alex as he walked in front of me. He walked with a kind of...grace and cunningness that no human could accomplish. Then a thought came rushing to my head. 

He's an elf.

I looked up at his ears for proof, anything long and super pointy sticking out through his hair...like ears? No. All I saw was the sparkling of a pure diamond stud. 

My knowledge of elves were very strictly limited to what I've read in fairy tales. There aren't a lot on elves...

When Alex stopped suddenly, I was so into my thoughts that I walked right into him, surprising both him and myself. I let out a small yip and started falling forward, on my way to a very, very embarrassing faceplant, when he grabbed my stomach and pulled me very, very close to him. My face was buried in his chest and I could feel the rapid beat of his heart under my fingers, which, of course, made my breath come out shorter and my heart start jumping out of my chest.

I looked up into his eyes and saw that they were clouded with emotion, but he blinked and he was back to the cold, but sexy player. His lip moved up in the corner of what was in a smirk,  and I pushed my way out of his iron grip.

"I could've helped myself, thanks." I said coldly. Why was I acting this way? I have no idea, but I was not about to be played by some hot guy I just met.
