Chapter Seventy-Six His Beautiful Eyes

Fire on Fire- Sam Smith
Selene's POV

     I needed a break, so I went to the club. Alex was following me just like he used to, so I pretend I don't know he's there when I get off my bike and go inside. But then I wanted to have to fun, so I hide by the door waiting as he opens to door walking in and I smirk before jumping out. "Boo!" I say loudly making him jump back and stumble before falling as I laugh and Alex sends me a glare.

     "God. Why are all the women being mean to me all of the sudden?" He asks as I hold out his hand and help him up.

     "We're giving you a taste of your own medicine." I say as he rolls his eyes. "Why are you following me again? You know you don't have to do that anymore. I'll be fine." Alex shrugs walking further into the club and pulling me along with him. He goes to the bar, nodding to the bartender before he gets a drink and then turns to me.

     "I guess old habits are hard to die out." He shrugs but I give him a look and cross my arms over my chest. "Alright," He sighs. "I failed you once already, I guess I don't want to do it again." My arms drop as I study him wearily. "What? What is it?"

      "You usually don't admit things. You're just sassy and cocky." He smirks as I tilt my head to the side. "Am I seeing a new side of the notorious Alex?" His smirk grows as he rolls his eyes and I couldn't help but smile as well before sitting down on a stool and he sits next to me as he takes another sip of his drink.

     "Guess so." He says. "Maybe I'm trying to be honest and let you in. I rarely let anyone in, but if I let you in, you have to make me a promise." I groan making him chuckle.

     "What is it?" I ask with a sigh, but his smile leave his face and he becomes serious which makes my smile slowly fade. Alex is never serious. Not like this.

     "Promise me nothing like this will ever happen again. And that no matter what, you won't die on me." He says shaking his head. "I'm tired of watching my friends die while I'm just standing here watching. I don't want to watch you die too." I nod in understanding, but I had a feeling I couldn't promise that. I don't know what the future holds for me, I don't know what's going to happen next. I don't plan on dying anytime soon, but anything can happen at anytime. I couldn't stop it no matter what I do. Like that car crash I was in where I did die. That was unexpected, but I was giving up then.

     I don't plan on giving up any time soon. "Alex," I say slowly thinking of how to explain. "You know better than me how things happen unexpectedly all the time. Anything can happen at anytime. You know that. I don't want to promise you that nothing will ever happen to me, because that promise can be broken no matter what I do. I can't promise you that I won't die anytime soon in some car wreck, motorcycle accident, or some shooting. Those things happen to everyone. Anyone. What I can promise you though, is that no matter what, I'll always fight to live, survive. And I'll never give up.

     "Can you accept that?" I ask and he nods.

      "I can accept that." He nods. "Do you want anything to drink?" He asks and I look back at all the drinks before shaking my head.

      "No, I don't think I'm gonna drink tonight. Or for a while." I take a deep breath and then stand up. "What I will do, is go to that dance floor and dance my heart out." I nod as he smirks and stands up as well.

     "Mind if I join you?" I send him a look and point at him.

     "No funny business." I say making his smirk grow as he grabs my hand and pulls me out to the dance floor.

     "Remember our dance battle?" He asks as we get in the middle and he does a body roll making me laugh.

     "Yeah, I remember." I nod as the memory flashes before my eyes. I smile remembering his lame attempt at trying to get to know me. I guess if there was one way to meet Alex for the first time, this is the one I'd choose every time...
