Call it Luck

Let's get to work. We've only known each other from close for a week; I need to wear something cute. I opened my wardrobe and oh my god what a mess. I successfully pull out of there a black crop top with a smile for a neckline going from the one shoulder to the other, a per of black skinny jeans and a per of white sneakers. I ironed my hair making them straight, looking longer that way and made a light makeup look with a bit of lipstick making my lips a bit redder. For a final touch I wore my diamond earrings and a long necklace with the only thing hanging, an angel wing.

"Where are they? I swear to god I left them on the table. Ash, where are my keys?"

"At the kitchens table"

"Ops, wrong table. Thank you my beautiful sister. Bye"

It only took me ten minutes to go to his work and by the time I got there I saw him cleaning the windows of the shop. A laugh escaped my mouth but I tried to hold it in. It was funny and cute at the same time.

"I didn't know you clean windows too. Want to come from my house too they need a fresh up."

"Sorry darling, that's not my job. I watch this place but I didn't know what to do and I cleaned up a bit. Don't get used to it."

I pinched out my tongue and laughed a bit while giving him a friendly push. "How's work going?"

"Well, it's boring, they play all day long at the computers and I'm watching them. I feel like a babysitter."

"Come on it can't be that bad." I smiled at him while two guys came out of the shop around Alec's age and probably a bit older and started screaming to each other. From what I heard one of them had a girl that liked but she was not into him. The other guy went to talk to her and the other found out. He got so pissed off that they were a breath away from fighting for real.

"You were saying?"

"Okay, I take it back."

Alec got in the way and stopped them sending the one inside the shop and the other staying outside. The other guy was still really mad and in the heat of the moment pushed Alec away violently. That's where the things got complicated. Alec doesn't like this kind of stuff and I saw that now he was the one that would break this guy's bones. I got in front of him and stopped him from starting a fight.

"Hey look at me; he did it because he's still mad. Wrong move of him but chill out and don't make things worse." I placed my hands on both of his cheeks and forced him to make eye contact with me. "I didn't come him to see you kicking and punching people." We stayed like that for a little; faces close my hands on his face while caressing slightly his cheeks. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and made a gesture to the other guy to go in the shop.

"You, get the hell out of my sight and if I hear the smallest scream again, you will be banned from the shop."

"You, get the hell out of my sight and if I hear the smallest scream again, you will be banned from the shop."

After the guy disappeared inside the building, Alec looked me again and smiled. I didn't know why at first but then realized that I still had my hands on his cheeks and where very close to each other's faces for friends.

"Sorry" I said while taking away my hands from his cheeks. He made a weird face, lifting his left eyebrow and then smile to me. With a lightning move, he put his arms around me, and by the time I realized what happened he was hugging me. Butterflies started to come at my stomach; I swear to god I hate this little guys every time. I hugged him back and he whispered to my ears something.

"I'm glad I met you."

I am too but i couldn't bring myself to say it. I just simply continued to hug him, just this time a bit harder.
