"What do you want to do?" Ghost asked Alex, who was surprised by her question. He wasn't expecting Ghost to ask him about what he wanted to do. 

"Huh?" He was confused and yet, his dumbfounded answer to her question caused Ghost to grin inwardly as she didn't want him to notice her happiness at his company. How adorable. She thought as she saw the confused gaze he was giving her. 

"I'm serious, Alex. What do you want to do?" Ghost asked the young man who was sitting beside her in the passenger seat of her car. Alex thought about what he wanted to do. Alex was a plain young man as he was wearing a blue shirt with black, baggy shorts. His sneakers were black and red.

"I want to get to know you better," he answered without thinking and when he realized what he had said, he covered his mouth and he gazed at Ghost. Ghost wasn't even mad as she realized that they only knew each other's names and Ghost wasn't even her real name. 

"I can live with that," she responded to his want of getting to know her better. She gave Alex a smirk and Alex thought he was in heaven as he stared at the woman that gave him the perfect smirk he had ever seen on a woman's face. He wondered if she had ever fallen in love with anyone. Ghost noticed the way Alex was looking at her and she inwardly sighed. He can't fall for me. He's a innocent guy and I don't want to hurt him. She thought as she noticed that he was starting to smile at her. 

Ghost noticed the charming smile Alex was giving her and she felt her heart swell up at the grin he was giving her. That damn smile is beautiful. She thought as she stopped at a cafe. "A coffee stop sounds perfect," his words made Ghost feel happy for some reason. Her cold heart was fluttering and she wondered why. Oh gosh, this man is adorable! Ghost thought about the man that was sitting beside her. Ghost couldn't help but to stare at Alex's eyes, which was filled with happiness at being with a person that doesn't mind his company. Ghost got out of her car and she finally showed Alex a soft smile. 

"Want to join me?" She asked him, making Alex leave the car so he could be around the woman he could feel himself grow something for. I feel extremely happy when I'm around her. He thought, glad that he could handle being around the woman is a queen in her own right. Alex glanced at her hand and he glanced at his own. He knew that he would be risking his hand being broken if he touched the cold-hearted woman without her permission. He gulped, not wanting to risk Ghost punching his face if he dares to touch the woman. I don't want her to punch me in my face because I'm being a fool. He thought as Ghost turned to him.

Ghost knew what Alex had wanted when she saw him glanced down at her hand. She was glad that Alex didn't just grab her hand, but she wanted to grab his hand just to show him that she trusted him with touching her, but something stopped her. What the fuck? I am normally confident in my abilities to touch another person. Ghost was super surprised by her lack of confidence to hold Alex's hand. When Ghost glanced at Alex's bright eyes, she turned away with an unfamiliar heat in her cheeks. She couldn't believe that she, Ghost, was blushing over a man that was too adorable for his own good. Ghost slowly inched her hand towards Alex's hand, but when Alex brushed his hand against hers, a spark had suddenly both young adults as they both quickly removed their hands from each other. Ghost turned away first as she couldn't believe the spark that was sent up her spine. Alex turned away as well as he couldn't believe it either. Alex cleared his throat while Ghost glanced at the ground. "How about we do this another time?" Alex offered, sensing the uncomfortable air around the both of them. Ghost agreed with him.

"I'll drive you home," Ghost offered Alex and Alex grinned.

"Thanks!" He was grateful towards the woman and Ghost noticed the time. It was 1:00 in the afternoon.
