"I've come to observe your behavior and appetite since the Viper injections"
"Oh." She says looking at me
She seems disappointed. Sad even?
*I sit criss cross on the ground to avoid any possible back pain from sitting on a chair*
Alex makes a weird face and comes to sit down directly in front of me.
"Have you been experiencing fatigue since the injections" I ask ready to take notes
"No. Not since I woke up earlier" Alex replies looking into my eyes
There she goes again, she does this thing where when she talks to someone she makes full eye contact. It's extremely hard not to look away, her blue eyes are so compelling. So beautifully compelling. She makes me nervous, what am I feeling?
"H-have you been feeling nauseous after eating?" I ask
"No" She says
She's strong, I knew it.
*I look down to write some notes*
"Tony." Alex says suddenly
*I look up in confusion*
She's reaching for my ski mask?
*I move my head back slightly*
"Please" she begs looking into my eyes
Those blue eyes. They're everything.
*I let her take my mask off*
Why did I let her take it off, i'm so stupid. This is the kind of thing Victor would call me being foolish. Wait. She's smiling at me. She's...happy my mask is off?
*I feel her hands on both sides of my cheeks cupping them and looking into my eyes*
She's shaking, but I want her to know she can trust me.
*I gently hold hands on top of hers*
"I'm not so attractive" I admit
"You are." she says
"Very."
*I smile*
I feel a bit embarrassed, but also quite happy.
"You're beautiful, in case you didn't already know" I say
"No ones ever called me beautiful before" Alex says
"You are." I say
"Very."
*She smiles*
Her smile is so beautiful, she is so beautiful.
"You know, I'm still not sure why you wear your ski mask all the time, but you don't have to wear it with me. I happen to think talking to what's underneath is far better than talking to a mask. " She says with a smile
