Chapter 8

Alex's POV

"What took you so long?" Papa asks me, a slight hint of annoyance in his tone. I resist the urge to snap back at him and simply roll my eyes instead. Around him, I roll my eyes a lot.

"Nothing, here." I grumble in response, handing him his coffee and fruit. He takes it from me without as much as a thank you and I sigh, slamming the car door shut. My eyes drift over to the door of the little coffee shop and I can feel the corners of my lips twitch up into a smile. I didn't think I'd ever see her again. She looks even more beautiful than the first time I laid eyes on her.

I close my eyes and leaned back in the seat, reminding myself of who I am.

Forget about her Alex... You know it can't happen.

I know I should listen to that little voice inside of my head but instead, I choose to ignore it.
