Alexander eyeballed me seemingly confused to what I had just said. "No it's-", I quickly cut him off. "Sleep on the couch", I offered again. "I don't want to bother, I can go home" ,he struggled nervously. "And you can stay", I intrigued. " Thank you" ,he replied solemnly. "I'd invite you to sleep with me but we're on 2 different pages", I advocated diligently setting down my cup on the counter. His lips still left a little opening as if he was about to speak again. " Ava it's not-" ,I continued to interrupt since I already knew his response or I thought. "No I know we both like different people", I exclaimed now raising my head upward to have my full on attention on him.
Just like that Alexander was in my room striping down to only his boxers. I waited on the couch since I was going to offer him another place.
Alexander walked out of the room heading in my direction as I was reaching for my shoes. " Alright I'm done", Alexander firmly stated. Startled I tried to play it off by taking a while to fully turn around. Alexander yawned I gasped quietly surprised to the view that I was receiving. His model figure had only seemed to structure more each day after another. My face and lips so close to his tan toned chest as my heart started to pound racing against my feelings.

"Uh here's you're blanket" ,I scurried to my room. Alexander turned around as I quickly and swiftly paced back to him; handing him a red velvet fuzzed blanket. Alexander sat in the couch completely zoned out staring off into the bliss. "Ava it's not that I don't love you.....it's the timing that's holding me back. I can't explain but I have feelings for you", Alexander passionately confronted. I then took a seat next to him ," Alexander don't put me in this situation" ,I solemnly requested. "But Ava I want to be able to love you", Alexander's eyes gleamed from the peering light coming in in-between the curtains. I directly stared into his  eyes," Alexander", I paused viewing his face as it morphed to impatience of trying to contain his words. "I need to sleep I'm getting up in the morning", I got closer. " I didn't mean to mess up", he  kept his observation.

Getting up at that moment felt so awkward and filled with anticipation.

I could feel his gaze trickling, with my head filling with questions.
Removing my makeup just observing my complexion ,deep in thought staring at myself in the mirror.

Steven's P.O.V
The room pitch black with just a stream of light entering enough to see Steven's face buried on his pillow.
Reminiscing about us ,to when we met to the first time hanging out and the past events where I've chosen Alexander as my first choice.

He seemed upset his stare focused into the pitch black dark barely making out the wall. The little light shinning on his face, eyes sparkling barely making him visible.
Steven squeezed his eyes shut along with his fists, fighting the urge to let a tear slip out.

Alexander's P.O.V
Alexander who had his head leaned back against the couch, looking up ;the multiple lights from outside made the living room vibrant. His memories about us drowned out the car noises from outside.
Alexander revisited his multiple questions about his choices.

Back to my P.O.V
I laid flat on my back staring up at the ceiling, my position stationary listening to the silence of my room with the distant noises from outside.
Rolling over to my side I frowned, "Why doesn't Alexander want me?" ,I thought to myself. Staring at the blank wall thinking about Alexander and how he was just in the next room.
*Flashback*
We were so close to each other I could feel his breath hitting my chest, noting every detail of his face. "I want to get to know you. Would you like to go to Tirsil's Bar & Dine?" ,his eyes trickled staring at me waiting for my response.
Holding back from blushing .I smiled that's when he reflected my smile as well. "Yes I would" ,beginning to feel my cheeks hurt.
*Back to Present Day*
Falling asleep without realization  morning rolled by. Alexander had been woken up by his phone, "Hello?" He picked up.
"Is this Alexander?"
"Yes" ,blandly responding
"I'm at your place at the shop" ,finally remembering who it was Alexander quickly rose up. Immediately getting dressed ,there was silence. "Can we meet up?" The person from the other line asked. "Yes I'll be there in 10."
15 minutes later went by, Alexander creaked my door opened a tad ,poking his eye in. "Ava, Ava" ,he whispered .After awhile he saw that I wasn't awake so he decided to let himself in.  "Ava. Ava! Ava!" ,"What?!", I yelled. Looking up viewing him as he viewed me. "Are you leaving?" ,
"I'm going to give the interviews" ,I sat up ,"To those people you told me about?"
"Yes"
"When will I know?" ,the little light from outside coming in ,shone on his face making his eye color bright. "I'll get to you on that once I get the 2 others, but for now I'm late; so thank you so much for letting me stay the night" ,Alexander rushed. "No problem" ,I observed him. "Meet me at 2 or around 2:50 to give you the next mission."
"Ok" ,we were close to each other now .Making me confused and curious to what his next move would be. Walking him to the door ,we stood facing each other. "Bye Ava, thanks once again" ,with a pleased expression. "You're welcome" ,
"I'll see you later" ,Alexander added before leaving. "Bye" ,I watched him leave as I saw him get further away I closed the door.
Spinning myself back around facing my room, "What should I wear?"

Almost finishing my look applying the last bit of eyeshadow. I take a glance at myself in the mirror reviewing my contour. Feeling amused I finish up and prance off towards my closet.
"What should I wear?" ,giving a blank stare into my closet.
Momentarily after trying on outfit after outfit I come across a random idea. Quickly pulling it off the racks and slipping it on myself. Observing my reflection ,"Hmmmmm...This looks good but a bit too tight" ,I whispered ,still viewing myself ,"Ehh he's seen me naked."
I was wearing some Chocolate Brown mini boots, accompanied by some coco tan pants; followed up by a navy green tank top. Making my silver bra made from jewlery vivid. I added a green jacket just in case I needed to cover up. 

Alexander's POV~
Sitting outside the famous coffee place that he loved ,along with another girl. His arms planted on the black metal table ,his vision focused on her. She sat up her back was straight like a cutting board; her arms draped over one another intentionally staring back at him. Both of them had straight face expressions, then Alexander spoke. "Hello ,what's your name?"
"Adalyn" ,the words flowed into the air. Alexander smiled ,"I'm Alexander just in case you already forgot" ,he joked but still keeping his emotionless expression. A small smirk appeared on Adalyn's face.
