City by the Sea 2

Elijah

I flash a smile and chuckle, "Yeah. Yeah, you do."

Alexis


"Okay I have to ask, what was last night about?" I ask. "I do not want to think something is there if nothing is."

Elijah

I glance at her, confused, "W-what do you mean? Of course there's something there. I don't just kiss anyone. I like you. Today.. I'm just trying to deal with everything. That's all."

Alexis

I smile. "Sorry I asked, I just do not have the best luck with dating people. Lots of things have happened and I just do not want to hope for something that is never going to be there." I

Elijah

I smile back and twine a hand with hers, "You don't have to worry about that with me. Promise."

Alexis

I smile and nod. "Well that is music to my ears."

Elijah

I smile, looking back at the horizon, "Good."

Alexis

"Do you want to go get something to eat? " I ask. "I know a really good Chinese place. Unless you do not like that. I know a lot of good places."

Elijah

"Sure," I reply, "Chinese sounds good. Just let me get changed quick."

Alexis

I smile and nod. Our hands fall apart and I go back to my house. I walk up the stairs and into my room. I put on my dark jeans and my ruffly black shirt. I quickly wave my hair and sit on my pouch to wait for him.

Elijah

I head home and change into a button-up shirt and dark jeans. Looking myself in the mirror, I run a hand through my hair and slip the stone in my pocket. I grab my keys before heading out and walking to her house, smiling when I see her waiting.

Alexis

I smile once he comes over to the house. "Ready?" I ask.

"Yes." He say.

"Okay lets go." I say. We get into the car and drive to the restaurant.

Elijah

I hold her hand on the way there and get out to open the door for her, leading her in.

Alexis

One hand on the wheel and the other in his on the way to the restaurant. I park the car and get out, locking it behind me. He extends his arm to mine as I get out and he leads me into the restaurant.

Once we are in, we request a table for two. Th waiter come and takes our drink order. I order a water and so does he. I study the menu and occasionally glance up to smile at him.

Elijah

I catch her glancing up at me from the menu and I smile, glancing up at her as well.
