Things

His Eyes

"So, what do you guys want?" I asked after we sat down in a silent and dark corner. I was trying to forget about the last ten minutes before I walked in here but apparently neither Ro or the other guy would let me.

"I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you mad, okay?" he said.

"Even though I can't think of anything...." he added in an almost not understandable mumble.

"Okay, first of all, I'm trying to forget about all this nonsense right now and second of all, if you really want an answer, I'm just overall really mad and weirded out. There, everybody happy!?" I said sarcastically and hid my face behind the menu. There was coffee, latte, fries, potato bites, steak, and a lot more but I really didn't pay attention to all of that.

"Weirded out by what?" Ro and the guy said in chorus and I dropped the menu a bit just to let them see my raised eyebrows. Before I got to answer though a woman came to our table to ask what we wanted. She had a blue dress with a white A-print and very high heels. She was about my age, maybe a little bit older, and was staring at Ro. I tried not to notice it but somehow it really bothered me.

"Coffee, please. Black." I said, trying to sound neutral, and looked expectantly at the boys.
"Same." the guy answered.

"Latte." Ro said and leaned back in his booth.

"What's your name, dude?" Ro asked and I totally forgot that we'd just met him. Somehow it felt like he'd hung out with us since forever.

"Alexander." he said simply but didn't seem like answering Ro's question but mine, since he looked at me.

"Alec. Cool." I stared back and just noticed that his face, that always seemed so hard and like he was trying to hide himself behind a mask, seemed to kind of open up while looking at me.

"What?" he asked and tilted his head a little but he couldn't hide the small smile that played on his lips.

"Alec. Your new nickname." I explained and also smiled.

"And your guys' name?" he asked, still smiling.

"Melanie River and Robert King." I answered and pointed to each of us while saying our name.

"A.K.A Mel and Ro." Ro added.

"Your nicknames?" Alec asked.

"Yep." I smiled.

Ro just looked between me and him.

"I'll be right back. Scooch, River." he finally said and bumped me with his elbow to move out of the aisle.

"Okay." I got up and sat back down after he walked in direction of the men's bathroom.

"To get back at what you said earlier, what did you mean by 'weirded out'?" he asked after I got comfortable.

"You." I said simply and a small shiver ran through me at the memory of his eyes and what had happened there.

"What?" he pushed.

"You. Your eyes. My falling. Everything since you appeared." I shot back irritated. I really didn't want to talk about this right now.

"My eyes?" he asked, clearly not understanding.

"Yes, your eyes."

"The usual comment to my eyes is 'full of life' and 'startling' and other remarks that might not add to the positive list of things you think about me right now" his mouth twitched to a smile.

"Are you always this full of yourself or did I just get a bad day?" I shot at him.

"Neither, I'm just charming and you know it." he laughed.

"Yeah, right. And I'm Izzy." I mumbled. Izzy, her full name is Isabella, was another character from the Mortal Instruments series and she was really pretty, dangerous, and a guy-magnet. She was the best girl in her age as a Demon hunter and could wrap a boy around her finger in a matter of seconds. For short, the total opposite of me.

"No, I'd see you more as Clary. Maybe Maia... Na, Clary fits best." he looked at me thoroughly. Those were two other girls from the series and Clary was one of the main characters and, to be honest, my role model because even though she was small and nobody expected much from her she always scored and not too shabby either. She always surprised the others with her talents and I really wanted to be like, or at least a little it like her, at the end of my life-line.

"You read 'City of Bones'?" I was impressed that he reads at all.

Sorry but I couldn't really find a good ending so I just stopped here... Well, I haven't updated in a long time but everybody has a writers-block sometimes right!? :)
