going with alec wasn't such a bad idea, and there was nothing so wrong with it, its just that i wanted to avoid getting involved with him cause i didn't know his intentions or what he wanted, but it wont hurt going with him, it wasn't like he's a big shot that will give me unwanted attention, turning to him, i looked him in the eye "fine i will be your partner to the gala" and like that his face lit up.
"thank you" he said smiling i smiled back "now can you serve me wine like you promised" i said, with the smile still on my face "of course" he said, getting up, he rolled up his sleeves walking behind the bar, he picked up one closest to the top, it was red, opening it he picked two wine glasses and poured it in, pushing one towards me.
all the while i did not take my eyes off him, he movements were smooth like he knew exactly what he was doing, and the way his shirt fit his body, the two buttons undone made him look like he belonged in the front page of a magazine not in front of me, but i will never tell him that, i picked up the glass of wine and took a sip, moaning in approval, it was delicious.
"this is tasty" i said, impressed by his good taste "im glad you like it, people have different taste in wine i just brought out my favorite and thought you would like it" he said, leaning on the counter, picking up his glass he took a sip, i looked at him, and i wondered why i was actively avoiding him, maybe its because he seems to knows a lot yet acts oblivious, or how he suddenly helps me without good reason, I've experienced goodwill from people and it only ended in manipulation, but no matter how hard i tried he was making it harder to get away from him maybe i should try harder
"what are you thinking about" he asked, cocking his head to the side "nothing" i said, taking another sip of the wine and still nodding in approval, undoubtedly this is going to be my favorite wine. we didn't say anything to each other for a while, "so what is your plan now with your new identity" he asked, i thought a bit i obviously would not tell him i was planning to revenge and i don't see how my life is any of his business but "I've got everything sorted out slowly" i said instead not giving him any real information but telling him I'm fine.
"oh that's good, but if there's any time you need help don't hesitate to let me know" he said, i didn't respond i wondered why he was helping me and even being kind to someone he barely even knows, I've tried thinking about where we've met but nothing is surfacing "have we met before?" i asked, since he acted like he knows me he should at least tell me where we met.
dropping his wine glass, something in his eyes flickered i thought he was going to tell me, "the first time i met you, i saw you falling from the sky, i guess i thought that was cool and decided to never leave your side again, in case you suddenly wanted to fly or anyone else wanted you to" he said, with a boyish smile i laughed, its funny how he made a joke about my almost death but i didn't find it offensive. i guess he was just a creepy guy that liked helping strangers i decided.
finishing up the wine in my cup, i placed it on the table "I'm sleepy, I'll be going to my room first good night" i said, getting up from the bar seat and walking away. watching her walk out of the room, his smile fell, he just couldn't tell her about their meeting and his failure he was happy she didn't remember at least he could be better now and redeem himself. dropping the wine back into the cellar he walked out of the living room to his room.
