It was him
him

The one from Starbucks. Holy Hell

What was he doing here? Hasn't he recognized me yet?

You're disguise you idiot. Oh. Right

I cocked an eyebrow at him. "And who are you? My third legal guardian? Last time I checked I only had two" I say placing my cup down.

He smirked and took a few steps closer to me. When he got closer I stepped backwards until I felt the table hit my lower back. I was about to tell him to leave me alone when he reached for me right hand and placed a faintest whisper of a kiss, his golden orbs staring into mine the whole time.

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Im Kale" he casually says and gives a little bow. I cant help but stare. He suddenly looks puzzled and I snap out my daze. "What?" I ask. "You should be introducing yourself by now" he says with a slight grin.

"And why would I do that?" I raise a brow and he gives out a slight chuckle. "You remind me of someone" he says looks around, after a while, "Come on" he says grabbing my hand. I cant help but let him drag me to wherever he's going, theres no use to fighting it, believe me, Ive tried a lot with.... with... with..... Matt..... "Okay stop it Carmille, tonights about having fun" I scold myself and focus my attention back on Kale.

After a few more steps, I find myself standing on the rooftop of Eldrik's house. The view was definitely breathtaking, since his house was at least four stories high, we were on the fifth floor, taking in the view of the city that never sleeps. Yes, we live in New York. "Its beautiful" I whisper. "Not as beautiful as you" Kale is suddenly at my side.

"So why'd you bring me up here?" I ask as I carefully backed away from the railing and sat down on one of the benches. He sits beside me, keeping a respectful distance. "I don't really know" he says scratching the back of his head. Cute.

"Is this your way of raping me? with a good view of city?" I joke and he looks at me, as if considering the thought. I swat his arm playfully. He gives out an amused chuckle before moving in a tad bit closer. "I really don't know, Ive known Eldrik since we were in diapers, this place is practically my second home and this.... this is my favorite place. Like a me spot, its more quiet and I dunno, more peaceful?" I smiled at the thought and we just sat there, enjoying the view of the city. Before I knew it, his arm went around my shoulders. I leaned forward, causing it to drop on my back. He cleared his throat.

"Why did you do that?" I question him, my tone a bit harsh. He looks away for while and I play with my fingers on my lap. "Im sorry, its just you seem really different, not bad different, but you know, good different " he huffs out "And I kinda like it" he adds quietly and I sit there, contemplating his words. "You don't even know anything about me" I say getting up and making my way towards the railings.

"I could if you'd let me" he catches up a second later. I face him. "And what if I don't let you?" I question and he just shrugs. "Its up to you, It'd be really great if you'd let me, I'd like to get to know you better, but I understand if you don't" he answers carefully and after a 2 minute pros and cons battle in my head I finally nod my head at him, as if saying I agree. He lets out a sigh of relief and I cant help but let out a small giggle.

"Alright then, first things first, what is your name? You know mine, but I don't know yours" I could tell he was dying to know, it was written all over his face. "Carm-" I quickly cut myself off. "Stupid, stupid, stupid Carmille" I scolded myself once again, one careless word out and there goes my secret. He looks at me with concern and grins. "Is it a hard one? I could totally remember those, I met a girl once who insisted I called her by her full name which was 'Anastasia Colette Isabelle Morgana Yorks'" he gives me a playful grin and I cant help but smile at his antics.

"Camille Astrid" I gave myself a new name, a name only for tonight I tell myself. "Camille Astrid" Kale says as if testing the words. He liked my new name, and Im sure as hell I did too.

"You're new here?" he asks and I contemplate on what to tell him. "In a way" I answered carefully "You?" I add. "Kinda" he smirks and tells me the whole story. His parents were divorced and since he didn't want to move in with either one of them, he's staying with Eldrik, since his mom is Kale's godmother. "That must be tough" I comment and stare out the sky. "What about you?" he asks curiously and I shrug. "Nothing much, Im just a girl in this world" I say quoting the second part on the song that literally describes my life "called Just A Girl"

"So theres nothing special about you?" he asks and I give out another shrug. "Most girls would think theres at least one thing special about them" he points out. "Exactly, Im not like most girls" I answer, he looks at me with an expression I cant read and it vanishes just as fast as it appears. I turned my gaze back to the starlit sky. "And theres nothing exciting going on in your life?" he questions me again and I turn to face him. "Whats up with all the questions?" I joke and a twinkle of mischief dances through his eyes. "Because" he says scooting closer to me, there was no space between us anymore. "I know something that can make your life exciting" he whispers and I swallow audibly. "What is it?" I manage to squeak out. "This" he pauses for a moment and before I could even ask what he meant, I felt his warm lips press against mine softly.
