Love Strikes From The Shadows.

Chapter II: The Date

Alexis's POV
I wake up in the familiar room I almost always stay in. I wipe the sleep from my eyes and suddenly remember something from last night.

"Alex Black," I say immediately blushing I grab my phone and check the closet for some nice clothes. And yes I stay here that often that some of my clothes are here. I pick out a light tan shirt with a black jacket that's parted and some jeans. Heels hurt my feet so I slip on some sandals instead.

After I'm dressed I check my phone for the time 7:45 I have fifteen minutes left I head to the bathroom and start doing my makeup and my hair.
I pull my hair up into a ponytail and let it fall to a little under my shoulder.
A couple of minutes later
Finished.
Ding Dong
And just in time too. I go back into the bedroom and grab my phone when I go to the front door
"Please tell me this is the right house." I hear. I open the door and see him standing there with a blue button-up shirt and some jeans with black dress shoes
(BTW neither are wearing their hats.)
"Yep, this is just a friends house though," I say just as Ash comes down the stairs.
"Who's he?" Alex says with a hint of jealousy
"He's just my friend and the one who lets me stay here no need to get jealous," I say
"O-Oh sorry." He says with a blush forming
"Haha." I chuckle
"Hey, Ash I'm heading out now see you later," I call to him before walking out of the house and closing the door.
"So where are we going?" I ask him
"Well, I was thinking either head south to Aquacorde or north to Lumiose your choice." He says
"Hmm. Aquacorde isn't as busy as Lumiose and is a little more romantic." I say thinking out load when I notice what I just said I blush red and look to Alex who luckily wasn't paying attention just thinking
"Hey," I say tapping him on his shoulder making him jump a little
"Let's go to Aquacorde."
"Okay." He says grabbing my hand and heading off south I blush at his actions.
At Aquacorde town
We get to Aquacorde and go to a cafe that was nearby. We take an outside table and a waitress walks up to us.
"May I get your order." She asks
"I'll take a sweet tea," Alex says
"How 'bout you?" He says looking at me.
"Coke please," I answer
"Your order will be out in a minute." She says giving us a smile then walking back into the cafe.
"Sooo. How ya been?" Alex asks
"Good I have a part-time job and am making a good amount of money. You?" I reply
"Just making sure I can keep up in school to bad it's affecting my summer though."
"Wow, you need to loosen up a bit," I say playfully punching his arm
"Ha I'm studying to be a Doctor there's hardly any break there." He says
"Wow that must be hard I'm close to getting a promotion and you're cramming for school."
"Yeah by the way where do you work?"
"I can't exactly tell."
"What do you mean?"
"Um If I tell you-you can't tell anyone okay?"
"Okay."
I lean in close to him and whisper into his ear: "I'm training to be a ninja." Then I sit back
"Wow." Is all he could say
"Anyway, what do you wanna do now?" I ask just then the lady comes back with our drinks
"Here you two go have a nice date." She says then walks away
Both me and Alex were blushing red and were silent for a minute or two then I break the silence.
"Remember how we first met?"
"Yeah."
Flashback
3rd POV 7th grade
Alex sat in the corner of the library reading a book: Inheritance by Christopher Paolini to be exact.
"Hey what's your name?" A 12-year-old Alexis says as she walks over to the 13-year-old boy
"Alex." He replies turning the page
"Hey, we have similar names," Alexis says
"My names Alexis." She continues sitting down next to him
"Whatcha reading?" She asks
"Inheritance."
"What's it about?"
"Dragons and War."
"Hmm is it a good book?" She says
"Yeah."
Alexis gets up looks at the cover than walks over to the fiction section looking for a certain book.
"Here it is." She says grabbing a blue book with a blue dragon on it she then walks back over to Alex and sits back down.
"Is this the first book?" She asks holding up the book
"Yes."
"Ok." She replies opening the book and starting to read
Flashback end
Alex's POV
"I'm still waiting for the fifth book to be out but I have to wait till he's done with his Sci-Fi book first," I say
"Wow, I'm still reading the fourth one." She says bringing out a similar book to the one I was reading the day we met
"What took you so long?" I say
"Hey, half the words here were confusing how about you explain how to say." She pauses and starts looking through the book
"I-s-l-a-n-z-a-d-i." She says
"Easy. Iss-lan-ZAH-dee." I say
"That's one of the easier ones." I point out
"Fine. I just never was a bookworm." Alexis states
I pull out my phone and check the time then take a sip of my drink.
"It's 9:00 what should we do?" I ask
"Well, we could head up to Lumiose and check out the shops." She offers
"Sure why not," I say
