"You think what you're doing is right?!" Steve directed the question at Alec who was busy flirting with the girls who were sitting at the table next to them. The girls were giggling and doing that common gosh-you're-hot thing with Alec. Alec didn't even bother to answer the question instead turned his chair fully towards the girls' table and continued talking. Steve rolled his eyes and looked at Kevin who was pretty much caught up in his own thoughts.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Lemme guess. How annoying Alec can be? Uh huh. I know." Steve said.

Kevin turned his head to look at Alec and smiled to himself. He has always been like that. And Steve too. Being the gentleman he is, Steve didn't like it very much when Alec goes around making snarky comments as if everyone should know how lucky a carrier should be to have sex with him. But both Kevin and Steve knew that Alec means no harm to anyone. He just really likes to flirt with people. As uncomfortable as it is, considering how open and dirty the flirting can get, they have actually gotten used to it.  

"Hey we've tried. He's not gonna change." Kevin told Steve while laughing at how Alec's already got the few girls to swoon over him in mere seconds.

"Yeah true. Mannnnnnn. Remember his fourteenth birthday??" Steve said, his face covered with a big goofy smile.

"Oh come on! We agreed not to talk about that. Jeez, that was not how I wanted to lose my virginity." Kevin laughed and Steve couldn't help but laugh at the memories.

"Three of Dineen's Classic burgher with chips and coleslaw on the sides." Lynna arrived with the food at kept everything on the table.

"Enjoy gentleman and let me know If you need anything else." She greeted with a smile. Soon as Alec saw her at the table, he quickly turned the chair back and looked at her.

"I just told you what I need. Besides, I'm hot. Come on!" Alec was looking straight at Lynna while saying this which took her by surprise. She didn't know people could be this ridiculous and confident at the same time.

"Oh! You know... Why don't you come to the kitchen with me? I can make you uhmmmmmm you know..." Alec's eyes started to shine and just then.........

".... Sit on the grill and show you what is hot and what is not!" and with that Lynna turned on her heels headed back to the kitchen. And Alec's mouth stayed open at that. Kevin and Steve were laughing hysterically.

"Dude! My god. That was epic" Kevin exclaimed. "Please don't get embarrassed anymore and start eating." Steve and Kevin were enjoying this more than anyone else. You know not everyday the mighty Alec gets turned down by a carrier.

Meanwhile, it was a storm of emotions inside Alec's heart. He was angry, no scratch that. Pissed off. He was pissed, humiliated and shocked. But at the same time there was something else that he could not begin to comprehend. Though he should be really mad at this girl, there was another emotion swimming inside his heart that he was not quite comfortable with. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to see her and get yelled at by her. Weird... He thought to himself and grabbed the burgher to eat.

And even Kevin was battling with strange feelings in his mind while having dinner. Nothing wrong with the burgher of course. That burgher was hands down, one of the best. What's bothering him was how his eyes were wandering around the restaurant looking for the same figure he saw moments earlier. He never does that. That has never happened. It was a young man with strikingly beautiful features, of course! But that doesn't explain anything. Kevin shook his head a little bit as if trying to get it off his head.
