Beyond Her Beauty

Chapter Ten- Cute?

Chapter 10

^^^^^^^^

Conner's POV

When did my life get this complicated?

I looked over to the clock that rested on my bedside cabinet; 3:30 pm, one hour left till work starts.

I started to slowly get ready; I pulled a navy blue jumper over a plain white shirt, I grabbed some baggy, skater jeans and quickly sloped them on. Ready.

It was now 3:47 pm so I decided to grab an apple as I made my way over to the çär. Work today was going to be hell, I'm sure that Alexis will be asking me lodes of questions. I'm pretty sure she didn't believe the whole 'same name' story.

As I pulled up I front of the store I took a deep breath. 'Be normal' I told my self as I parked down the street. As I walked over to the shop I saw Alexis, she was walking down the street in a baggy, canvas green shirt and some tight, black jeans, she had her long, dark hair down with a dark beanie.

She looked so different that she does at school; at school she always has pretty dresses on and her hair perfectly curled and in place, i mean she was always well... perfect. However, at work she's different, she's still really pretty but she's just different; she never wears dresses and her hair is sometimes out of place or a bit frizz and her aura is completely different from when she's at school- it's not so... unapproachable.

As I walked in to the store I was greeted with a death glare- Alexis was burning holes in me with her eyes, she looked as though she wanted to kill me.

I expected her to be all weird around me but not this angry. What was with her?

"So... I was right about 'Ashley' being your girlfriend and not only that but she is thee 'Ashley' from our school?" she said every word with disgust and emphasised Her disgust every time she said Ashley.

Why was she so angry?

I suddenly felt my self grow red with anger- she had no right to talk about Ashley in that tone or with that look and further more she had no right to be mad at me!

"Why are you so angry?" I spat which Alexis seemed surprised about but her she soon recovered from her faze.

"What's with that! Your not even going to deniy? You lied too me! I thought you were better that all those guys at are school... I guess I was wrong." She shouted angrily but also sounded sorrowful.

What dose she mean? She only met me yesterday yet she thinks I'm 'better that all the guys at school', that doesn't even make sense.

As I looked at her I saw a tear stream down her cheek and her eyes full with water.

She was crying! Why was she crying? I put my hand on her shoulder as a form of comfort, I mean I may not like her that much but that doesn't mean I want her to cry. I hate seeing people cry.

I crouched slightly (since I was taller than her) and looked her in the eyes; I lifted my hand off her shoulder and wiped the stray tear. right now she looked so innocent and cute- she looked like a small bunny.

"I'm sorry- I shouldn't have raised my voice. And Ashley is not my girlfriend." I explained as calmly as I could, I weakly smiled at her. I thought she would stop crying or something but as soon as I had finished speaking her eyes flooded- tears raced down her face one after the other.

I started to panic so I stud up straight. I frantically searched the room with my eyes hoping that there would be a box a tissues somewhere- there wasn't. To my surprise as I looked at Alexis she was not trying to keep herself calm, she was just crying and crying and crying. I couldn't take it anymore so I pulled her in to a hug and let her sob into my chest- maybe this was weird but I just wanted her to stop crying so I thought of how I always calmed Ashley down; it usually always started with a hug.

After about 10 minuets of her purely just crying (luckily no customers had come in) I pulled away from her- her face was damp and her mascara had run, she looked a mess yet still incredibly pretty.

"You look like a bunny." I whispered letting out a small laugh.

Alexis face was now as red as a tomato. Was she embarrassed? No, no, she couldn't be.

"Co-Conner... did you just say that I'm cute?" she whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

She was embarrassed but why, I mean she should be used to being called cute- enough guys say that to her I'm sure.

But how should I answer; If I say no I'll have to explain what I meant by 'you look like a bunny' but if I say yes she'll probable think I like her or some think.

What should I do?

What should I say?
