You're so dark (an Alex Turner fanfic)

Margaritas

The doors of the elevator opened and only darkness greeted them at first. She smiled at him "Oh yes, did  forget to mention that part of the deal was that they don't want me to turn on light when I'm here at night?" she said and walked out and right into the darkness outside the elevator. Now Alex could not hide how curious he was. He still had no idea what would awate him, he only felt an excited shiver get down his spine when he followed her. First his eyes did not really handle the switch from the illuminated and bright elevator to the darkness and he saw nothing at all. He had to stop for a moment to lean against a wall because he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

 "You allright?" he suddenly felt a hand on his arm and opened his eyes again. She stood close to him. Now his eyes got kinda used to the darkness and he could spot her and that around the corner some dim light was shining and filled the room behind it.

 He nodded quickly "Yeah...it's only the darkness after the light you know"

 She also noded and hooked her arm into his "Just that lil' Alexander won't get lost in the darkness" she said and slowely started walking.

 She seemed relaxed and confident about what she was up to and Alex's curiousity nearly killed him during those few steps. She lead him through the small corridor directly to te source of light. She's never been so near to him as in those moments and he really wished she would never let go of him.

 She kept quiet  not showing him how nervous she actually was about  his reaction. Maybe she would screw it all up with her idea, maybe he would think that she's simply stupid or looking for someone to only share a night with, but she was not.

 She looked at him, his expression when they got around the corner was priceless  and she  had to grin:

 Even if the few light the city was spending through the windowfacade all around them she could see how his mouth opened a little and his eyes grew big. Of all he could have expected, THAT was the last thing. He was kind of speachless, not quite sure if she was really serious about that or if it was some trick on him to see if she could trust him. She let go nof his arm again and walked some steps into the room, spreading her arms and turned around her self once "and voilà" she smiled and showed him to get inside.

 He took a few steps and looked around, the city around was lightning it enough to see.

 A small bar was there at the one end of the room with some barstools around it and a modern looking instalation for the countless bottles filled with alcohol, some tables stood around and also some modern and expensive looking armchairs filled half of the room. He could see that it was some exclusive kind of bar thing. Then a pretty huge and shining white grand piano stood in the middle of then room. There were no walls, only windows that allowed the pretty visitors a really perfect view over the sleeping and illuminated city, but it was not the breathtaking sight that drew his attention, it was something else: At the one side, bed into the ground and using one window as extra wall he could see water reflecting the lights from outside, a pool.

 He had't spoken yet and Ruby just needed to know what he thought about it.

 "So....what do you say Alexander?"

 He looked back at her "Well...I'd say you've been right, a pretty good place to continue our conversation."

 She smiled "Lovely"

 "What's your favourite drink? Or are we not allowed to.."

 -"Of course..hmm...surprise me" she answered and followed him to the bar. She sat down on a high stool and watched him, how he observed the selection of alcohol in front of him.

 He took one bottle and turned around, smiling bright "How about some Margaritas? Believe me I do the best you can find in whole Britain!"

 She took off her jaket because it was pretty warm in there and nodded "Fine! And if they are not you have to practice till they are, and I'll be the judge to try!" she said and watched him how he chuckled and got to mix the cocktail.

 It gave her the opportunity to watch him, how he pourred the liquid, mixed everything. He had a concentrated and somehow cute face while doing so. Especially when he did the small salt edge around the glass. He then prodly put both glasses in front of her and smiled. He wanted to take one but she was quicker. She took both in her hands and got up. She smiled at him "Isn't sitting at a bar somehow boring...? I don't like boring things" she said and with those words she slowely walked in the direction of the near pool and put their glasses down on the ground a few centimeter away from the edge.

 She then turned around and put her hands on her sides and he could swear she raised her eyebrows. He swallowed and just kept looking at her. Was she really serious about that?

 "Don't worry, I forgot my swimsuite as well" she joked and then bowed down to open her boots. He was not able to say anything. He couldn't believe what they where up to do, what she was up to.

 She almost got to her dress when he found his voice again "Ruby...you..." but he had no idea what to say and somehow he actually really did not want to ruin this. He had no intention to sleep with her, but of course if she would want it he would not say no, but he could feel that sex was not what she was up to. "We should put our clothes under the window so we will find them later" he ended while he got slowely rid of his shirt.
