Chapter 8: Slurp It

"It's quite alright Nikkibear." She says smirking waiting for my reaction. Nikkibear? Only Alex ever called me back. When we were little we came up with nicknames for each other. How does this Alex know about this?

"How did you-." As I look into her eyes, realization dawns. She's right in front of me. It's my Alex!

Alexis's POV

I roll my eyes at Nick. Can he be any slower? "Took you long enough." I sigh looking at his gobsmacked face.

"Why didn't you make things simple and just tell me." He pouts. It's obvious he's trying to mask his happiness.

"It's always fun to mess with you never will get old. Plus I didn't realize that you were that oblivious. It's actually sad you don't remember your own best friend Mia did." I look at him mocking hurt. He rolls his eyes at me.

"I just thought you reminded me a lot like.. You. Plus you look.. Different." He scratches his neck looking at me sheepishly.

"Yea, you also thought I was hot." I laugh at him while he looks to the ground blushing.

"Well care to explain everything to me? We obviously need to catch up." He looks at me raising his eyebrow.

"Sure. Can we still go to that cafe and talk about everything there?" I look over to him. He nods walking in the direction I'm assuming is where the cafe is.

He doesn't say a word and I don't bother to so we just walk in silence. I haven't been in London for a bit so I'm not familiar with my surroundings, at least not anymore. I look around fascinated. I see a group of girls faces caked with make up and clothes of the top brand. I roll my eyes London girls.

I'm what you may call a tomboy. I do wear make up but it's usually light or mascara, and that's just because I have to. My mom forces me which is quite annoying. But it's not that bad so I don't really mind all too much. I don't wear top name brands, I play sports, I have a bottomless stomach, and I could kick anyone's ass in any video game. I wear sweats, jeans, bad tees, other tees, hoodies, and beanies. The most popular name brand thing girls wear that I do are UGGS, and TOMS. I'm a pretty chilled person and prefer boys over girls any day. Although there are exceptions for cool girls like Mia.

A sweet aroma fills my nose and I follow it assuming that it's the cafe. I was right because Nick opens a cafe door which is the source of the sweet smell. I walk in with him following after me. We go over to a private booth which would give us more privacy which is what we need right now. He slides in and I mimic his moves sitting opposite of him.

"Care to explain yourself?" I look up to Nick who looks a bit angry but with many other mixed emotions. Wow straight to the point.

"Well first I need you to chill. I can see why you would be mad but still you need to chill." I warn him. Giving him a glare. He looks at me apologetically looking a bit concerned.

"I'm sorry it's just you left out of nowhere Alex! I was worried sick I thought I lost you or that I did something wrong.. don't you understand that I cared about you and that you could've at least explain everything before disappearing? I thought I lost you. I thought I lost my Alex. I thought I lost my Alliegator." He looks down at his his fidgeting hands trying to avoid eye contact. By the cracking of his voice I can tell his eyes are starting to water. Great I've been here for a couple hours and I already am hurting people.

"May I take your order?" I look up to meet gorgeous emerald eyes. He smiles at me and reveals his deep dimples. I take a look at the menu and pick the first thing my eyes land on.
