Arabella Blossom ❥ Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes

Chapter 4

I jolted up out of my bed, excited for the day ahead. I checked the time, and I had a message.

From: Alex

I smiled at how quick he replied. I had a shower and washed my hair, then I got dressed. I put on my maroon skinny jeans, my white v neck shirt, my black docs and my black leather jacket. I put my hair into a messy high ponytail and start doing my makeup. I put a red lipstick on, and nothing else.

"Not a date, Not a date, Not a date" I keep telling myself. I was pretty excited. I walk out the door, and Matt questions me.

"Where you goin love?"

"To meet Alex, he wants to apologise"

"What a cutie. Have fun on your date" He says winking at me. I poke my tongue out and shut the door, walking to the cafe. I take out a cigarette and light it, spotting a motorbike in the corner of my eye. I admire it, and hell, is it pretty. It's amazing, everything about it. I loved motorbikes so much, and I really liked this one. I heard a voice behind me, which made me jump a bit.

"Done admiring me motorbike love?" It was Alex. I pulled him in for a hug, he hugged back. We started walking towards the cafe, and he gently holds my hand, I didn't move away.

"Is it your motorbike?" I say, looking at it.

"Yeah it is, you like it?"

"A lot" I say, smiling. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a tight white shirt and a black leather jacket. I forgot all about my cigarette because I was focused on his motorbike.

"Sorry!" I say, putting it out. "It's ok love" He says, chuckling. "Ready to order?"

"Yeah, this place is fancy, i'm gonna pay alright?" I say, but he refuses.

"No love, don't worry 'bout it, i'll pay" He says, smiling. Not the cheeky grin, but a smile, like he genuinley cares. The waiter comes over, and pays a lot of attention to me, and I mean a LOT. He wasn't taking his eyes off me.

"We'll share the margarita pizza please." I say, the waiters eyes still glued on me. "Anything to drink?"

"I'll have a coffee please" Alex says. "I'll have a glass of triple sec please." 

"No problem." As he walks off, Alex calls him back.

"Cancel the coffee, i'll have a triple sec too."

A couple minutes later, our food arrives. 

"This shit is fancy" Alex says

"I know, too fuckin fancy" I say, giggling. "Let's go." He says.

"We can't just go without paying Al!"

"I'm Alex Turner, therefore I can, let's go and get Chinese!" This made me giggle, so we walked off to his motorbike.
