20 His name is Ale...

My eyes bulge open and I lose by breath, it's him the guy from the party.

I'd remember those black eyes and midnight hair anywhere. I put my hands on my stomach as it drops to the ground. I haven't been this nervous since I got my wisdom teeth taken out. My body freezes up and it seems like it's only us in the room. He stares at me with such lust and desire, I'm compelled. He tears his eyes away from me and focuses on the group.

"Hi, my name is Alexander and I intern here at the company. I mostly assist my father in meetings and sometimes get to weigh in on decisions. I hope to run the company as well as he does." He says proudly. So, he's cute and goal driven, nice. "In a few minutes I will take you guys in on a deal that my father is going to make so take a break and I'll be right back." He gives me another glance and walks off with his father.

"Lyra, come with me." I grab her arm and drag her into the bathroom.

"Jesus Quinn what the hell!" Lyra yells while soothing her arm.

"Sorry I... I just had to get away from the group." I tell her.

"Why?" She asks curiously.

"Remember that guy I told you about at the party that I had a stare down with? Also, the one who protected me from Will?"

"Yeah... why?"

"Well that guy is Alexander." I say.

"Wait, you and the CEO of the company?" She asked all confused. "Good for you!" She says giving me a pat on the arm. I groan at her.

"Nooooo Alexander Jr., his son."

"OMG this is so exciting he's cute and rich!" She said jumping up and down.

"Is that all you think about? Do I say something to him or let him come to me?" I say fondling with my fingers.

"No, you don't say anything the man should come to the lady. All you need to do is look all pretty and virginly like, which you won't have a hard time doing." She said the last part quietly.

"Oh, be quiet. You can go I have to use the bathroom." I tell her.

"OK if Mr. Banhammer is looking for you, I'll tell him where you're at before he sends a search party." She waves me off and heads out the door.

I handle my business, wash my hands and head towards the door. As I'm heading out, the door opened up on the outside and hit me right in the head. I instantly fall back on the floor. A tall figure looms over me. My eyes went blurry for a few seconds then they returned to clear vision.

"Are you alright?" The figure said while kneeling down to my face. I could feel his minty breath on my cheek. One hand slide under my back to lift me up and the other hand sits on my face. I looked up at the unknown person to see that it's Alexander. Everything in that moment disappeared and it's only him and I. It's strange because I don't know him, but something inside of me draws me to him like he's my other half. Something that my body, my soul, has been waiting for for so long. A missing piece to the puzzle.

"I'm fine thank you." I say shyly while looking at the ground. He raises me off the floor and makes sure that I stand up on my own. Once he sees that I'm ok he lets go and steps back.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you." He says with worry in his eyes.

"I'm ok I promise it was a small hit I'll be fine." I tell him. He pans his hands over my body to make sure I'm ok. His smell was intoxicating, this touch felt like a godsend.

"Wait... This is the boy's bathroom what are you doing in here?" He asks me.

I look around the bathroom and see urinals lined up against the walls. My eyes return to the door and I see a boy's sign. My cheeks flush and I try not to laugh at myself.

"I ran in so fast I didn't realize that this was the boy's bathroom, how embarrassing." I looked everywhere but him. The floor actually looks quite nice right now.

He laughs at my response. "These things happen you know... Walking into the wrong bathroom or whatever."

"Yeah I'm sure this happens to you all the time huh?" I answer back to him.

"No uh not really I sometimes run into the wall when I'm on my phone, or trip over my shoes." He says as he chuckles.

I laugh along with him as I tuck my hair behind my ear. He takes notice of this and follow my hands as the dark strands of hair lye behind my ear. I can hear his breath hitch in the throat and he takes a small but subtle step away from me.

"My teacher and class may be looking for me I think I should get back." I say pointing to the door.

"Yeah you should go I'll see you out there." He said scratching the back of his head.

"You too, happy peeing." I respond back to him and leave out of the bathroom. I shouldn't have said that last part. I arrive back at the group to see everyone how I left him mingling amongst each other. I look around for Lyra to see her sitting at one of the tables on her phone. I walk over to the seat next to her and sit down.

"Jesus what took you so long get lost in the bathroom?" Lyra said.

"Something like that." I respond back to her.

The rest of the time was spent with Alexander and his father, Mr. Germani, showing us their day to day work and how they make deals with other companies. The whole time all I felt was Alexanders gaze on me. I tried to look away, but he was compelling.

While everyone was listening to the conservation at hand I walk over to the bubbly machine to get some water. Leaning down I push down the button to let the water out. Looming over me I feel a presence in my midst, when I look up it's Alexander.

"Hi." He said looking me up and down.

"Hey." I responded back.

"Thirsty huh?" He asked awkwardly. He must not make small talk all the time.

"Yeah didn't really have time to eat or drink so I'm just drinking for now." I said shyly.

"Why not?" He asked walking up closer to me. At this point since I'm leaning down for the water all I see is his chest. I remove my eyes from his chest and focus on him, his face at least.

"Well it's a long story." I told him.

"I have time." He said responding back to me. Before I'm able to say anything I feel cool water on my hand I look down to see water overflowing out of the cup, gosh Quinn do you have to be absent minded right now?

I jump back quickly and start fanning the water from my hands. "I'm so sorry this is the second time I have embarrassed myself around you." I told him.

He runs and grabs a towel from I'm guessing a nearby closet and hands it to me.

"Thank you." I start to wipe the water from my hands and shirt.

"Welcome. Care to tell me the story." We both sit down on the bench and start to conversate.

"Well where to start. I had this date with a guy then he stood me up. I sat their for two hours I have never felt more humiliated in my life."

"I'm sorry that happened to you. I would never do that to you." He said responding to my story.

"You barely know me."

"Doesn't matter you aren't the type of girl that should be stood up." He turns to me and makes full eye contact with me when he says that. His eyes glisten as the suns rays fall upon them, his ridged muscles flex as he moves around. This man has to have been forged by the gods.

What I say next makes me regret even sitting down with him. "You're eyes are so beautiful." I say to him.

Once I realize what I say I clasp my hands over my mouth in embarrassment. He's probably thinking what a creep I am.

He looks at me unsure of what to say. A smile forms on his face at my comment to him. "You think so?" He asked me.

"I do. Sorry if that creeps you out."

"No, not at all." I feel his finger slightly touch my own. We both look down at the closeness of our hands, we instantly feel a spark between our skins. I jerk back from him, and him to me. Weird.

"I must be getting back to the group. Thank you for the towel and listening to me." I tell him.

"No problem." I walk away from him and go back to the pool. I smile at the moment we just shared.

After spending almost four hours their it was time to leave. We all headed towards the busses before we loaded the bus Mr. Banhammer did role call to make sure we were all here.

"Oliva Beck?"

"Here".

"Frankie Lopez?"

"Here."

"Lyraina Berkely?"

"Here." She responded out with a groan. "And it's Lyra."

He brushes off her response and calls out my name. "Quinneth Worthingshire?"

"Here." I respond.

"Ok everyone gets on your busses and don't any of you try to fool me and get on the bus you weren't supposed to be on." He says eyeing us all.

Me and Lyra head over to our bus and settled in.
