I Don't, Say No To This\\ Marliza

Chapter 9

:Alex's POV:
Alexander didn't want to come to have lunch with his friends. However John had made him.

Ironically, John was the reason he didn't want to go in the first place.

He was Alexander Hamilton, and wasn't afraid of anyone, except the Schulyer sisters. And he worried about how they would react when he showed up, only a week after his breakup with Eliza, with a new person. That person being John.

He hadn't told any of his friends yet, but John was extatique about there new relationship and wanted to tell everyone the moment they'd made it official.

Alex had told him they had to tell their friends in person. And since they were going out today John had insisted this was the right time. And it was impossible for Alex to say no to his new boyfriend.

He stepped out of the car once they got to the restaurant. Walking to the other side to open Johns door.

"Thanks," John said quickly and smiled, grabbing Alexanders hand and rushing over to their friends.

While walking over Alex took the time to look over everyone that was there. 'Maybe Angelica didn't make it,' Alex thought hopefully. Since she was the one most likely to murder him.

To Alex's dismay Angelica was there.

She was talking with her sisters, Eliza and Peggy, with Sally joining them as usual.

However there was a new girl in the mix.

'Maria Lewis...' Alex said to himself, recognizing her almost immediately. 'But why is she here..?' He asked himself, before his thoughts were interrupted by Lafayettes, voice.

"Toutes nos félicitations!" The French man said, before turning to Hercules. "I knew they would get together."

Hercules nodded and smiled, discretely handing Lafayette ten dollars. "Yep, congrats guys."

Alexander stayed with John and his two other friends. They talked for a bit.

Angelica's voice broke up the conversation, "Well, everyones here, so let's go in."

Of course, nobody saw any flaws in her logic, so they all went in.

Eliza asked the man at the front for a table. Seeing Eliza do that reminded him of the girl from earlier, who was still at her side. Maria Lewis.

He looked at the other two Schuyler sisters and they didn't seem concerned with Maria being there. In fact they seemed to talk with her, and enjoy her company. Sort of like how they were with Sally.

Alexander took a moment to think of why this was when he noticed that Eliza and Maria's fingers were intertwined.

'Are... they together?' Alexander asked himself. He half wanted to ask, but didn't want to approach Eliza. 

His questions were answered when he saw Maria turn and kiss Eliza, while the waiter took them to the table they would be sitting at.

He followed silently.

"Hey, you okay?" John asked as they sat down.

Alexander hastily nodded, "I'm fine."

Of course, John knew about the affair with Maria, but didn't know who she was or what she looked like. Same with the rest of his friends. Explaining why they didn't seem as concerned with the appearance of Eliza's new girlfriend.

He sat next to John, and tried to act as casually as he could, starting a conversation with Hercules and Lafayette. Though also trying to ease drop on the Schulyer sisters.

:Eliza's POV:
To Eliza's delight, her sisters seemed to approve of Maria.

However she had momentarily forgotten that Alexander was coming. She'd tried not to pay much attention to him, but caught herself sneaking glances at him to see how he reacted to her and Maria.

It soon became apparent that Alexander and John were now together.

Eliza tried to brush it aside. She was with Maria now so she had no reason to be jealous. However she couldn't let the fact that Alexander had gotten over her so quick.

Of course, that was hypocritical of her. She was already over Alex.

'Right?'

'I'm over him..' Eliza assured herself, though she found herself looking over at Alexander and John more often then she'd like to admit.

She felt slightly jealous, she felt guilty for feeling jealous of John. But she couldn't shake the feeling.

The waiter came to take there order. Everyone ordered, Eliza getting a burger and salad.

Maria took her hand and she jump slightly, startled by the touch, as Eliza had not been paying attention to her girlfriend.

"You okay..?" Maria asked her, taking a sip of her lemonade that had arrived earlier.

"Y-yeah," Eliza responded. "Why do you ask?"

Maria raised an eyebrow. "You been staring at nothing for ten minutes Liza~"

Eliza laughed nervously, "ohhh... yeah.. sorry." She tried to brush it off. "Um, I actually need to use the restroom."

Eliza stood up suddenly. And speed walked to the ladies room, though she had no intention of using it.

She looked the door, and splashed water on her face. Looking at herself in the mirror.

Her stomach felt like a horrible knot of confusing emotions. Eliza absolutely hated it.

She wiped the beginnings of tears from her eyes.

She was over Alexander Hamilton.

Right?

Whoop Whoop. I'm not dead. I'm just terrible at writing and totally undetected to anything! (Yay?)
