Ex-wife.  I've only known Aleister for less than a week so it make sense that I didn't know about his wife. 

Natalie scoffs, "Friend?  He's like 10."

I laugh remembering that's similar to what Al said to me the first time we met, "Yes, I see why you got married."

Aleister flips me off before walking over to his desk and looking at some files. 

Natalie and Nate.  Our names are too close for my liking.  Our names are like the names of twins who's parents are really unoriginal.

Aleister walks over to me and slides his hand up my arm until he reaches my muscle.  I can see Natalie watching us.

"Natalie and I were supposed to get together for brunch and catch up but I was so busy I forgot and here we are now.  She's staying for dinner, her friend is coming to join us, you're welcome to stay."  I can't seem to focus because his hand is driving me crazy.  I just want to force his hand to go other places.

But I control myself enough to gather up my words, "Well considering I don't have a ride home, I'm going to have to stay."  I can tell Aleister is... Excited?  You'd think he wouldn't want me to intrude but then again Natalie seems like a bitch.

It's funny because yesterday I made Theo drive my car home from McDonald's because I left it there and now I'm going to have to walk to school but it's not a long walk.  Maybe I can sleep over Al's and get a ride.

Aleister takes his hand off my arm. 

Natalie looks clearly annoyed at me.

"Al, can I talk to you for a sec?" I ask him trying to get away from the petty wicked witch of the west.

"Al?" She questions with revulsion.

I smile at her even though on the inside I want to slap that bitch.

Aleister leads me out his room and closes the door.  "What's up?" He inquires.

"Are you sure you're okay with me being here.  It might get awkward," I say hesitantly.

He shakes his head, "No, no, no, I want you here.  Honestly, after you left yesterday I couldn't help but think about you.  And now that you're actually here I don't want you to go."

"Aleister Robin Blackwell, you are a much different person than I originally thought you would be," I laugh.

The doorbell rings and Natalie rushes out the room and down the stairs without giving any particular thought to us.

Al laughs along with me, "Like wise Mr. Nathaniel Heath Adams."

I follow after Aleister downstairs to see a pair of familiar eyes.

"Nate."

"Lia."

"Natalie," Aleister says.

"What?" Natalie asks.

He shrugs, "I don't know I just wanted to be relevant."

I slap him in the stomach, not too hard but hard enough for him to stop talking.

Natalie steps toward, "Wait, so you guys know each other?"

Lia blushes and pushes her blonde hair out of her ocean blue eyes revealing slight freckles that are extremely adorable on her.  "New York city has lots of people and it's just my luck I run into you," Lia states.

I put on my smug look, walk up to Lia and brush back a fallen piece of hair, "Maybe it's fate."  Yes I'm flirting with Lia.  We dated a while back and she was the one true girl I dated that I actually liked and didn't mess it up by cheating on her.  We broke up because she was heading of to college and I was just starting sophomore year.

Al expresses his thoughts as well, "How do you guys know each other?"

I gaze at him with a knowing look, "She's my ex."

"Sadly," Lia finishes off.

I scoff, "Sadly, I treated you the best out of all my relationships."

She punches me in the shoulder, "So how's life kid?"

I roll my eyes, I wish people would stop calling me kid. "Uh let's see, I got suspended for punching someone Wednesday, got arrested Friday, and found my new wife Tuesday." I look at my watch, "Oh look, right on time," I say putting my arm around her shoulder.

She leans her head on my shoulder, "I miss you sometimes. How's Theo."

I laugh, "Still hot."

Lia laughs with me but I see Al tense at this and Natalie's confused face got even more confused.

Lia and I break apart.

"Okay I can't help but wonder, how do you know Natalie?" I ask.

"We went to college together. She dropped out to marry some rich guy, a couple months later she's back in college because said rich guy is a douche bag and the rest is history," Lia explained.

I walk over to Al, trying to contain myself from touching his glorious body, "Hello said douche bag."

Aleister hits me up side the head, "Let's go eat please." I can tell he is holding back laughter.

We walk into Aleister's kitchen and I see a whole fancy dinner already laid out on a huge counter and a dinner table where I presume we're going to eat.

I whisper into Aleister's ear, "I don't even know what half of these things are. I bet you I won't know how to pronounce 3/4ths of them either."

He chuckles huskily and I see Natalie look at him with passion in her eyes. This bitch.

I will have to keep a close eye on Natalie to make sure she doesn't do something she's going to regret because I'm not afraid to hit a bitch.

Aleister helps me pick out my food as if I'm a five year old with his mom helping her son find an out fit to wear on the first day of school.

We all sit down, me next to Aleister, Lia across from
Me and Natalie across from Aleister.

I say quietly to Aleister, "I hope you're going to show me how to eat these because I didn't even know things like this existed."

Aleister smiles at me without saying anything but shakes his head. Him and I are sitting close to each other, our legs practically touching and I can't help myself, I rub my leg next his. I look at his face and see he's gone pale.

I suck in my lips, amused at this.

"Everything okay?" Natalie asks.

He just nods his head yes.

I quit for the time being and decide to focus my self on the 21 year old Lia.

"So Lia, you single?"

Aleister's head shoots towards mine, but I don't look at him. What's the big deal it's just a little harmless flirting.

Lia laughs it off, "Yes, why, are you?"

"Am I currently dating anyone, no. Am I currently fucking someone, working on it." I answer honestly. I mean personally I'm always trying to fuck someone but right now my main attention is Aleister.

"Who was the last person you dated?" She questions.

"Dated? I haven't really dated anyone in a while. I have been having a lot of sex though," I say giggling a bit.

I can feel Aleister's eyes on my head.

Lia speaks again, "You're a lot more confident than when I last saw you."

"Oh really?" I say seductively.

She nods her head slowly while licking her lips, "Yeah it's kind of hot."

"Oh god," Natalie says from beside her.

"So how many times have you had sex since the last time you dated someone," Aleister says curiously.

I hmm for a second pondering the question. "Do you mean how many people I've had sex with or how many times because there's been some threesomes here and there."

Lia laughs at this comment but I see Aleister grip the bottom of the table.

I think I might have honestly upset Aleister and really it's so hot seeing him jealous. It is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen. And trust me, I've seen a lot of shit.  Threesomes remember.

My hand goes to his thigh, making sure they can't see me. Aleister looks me in the eye, not daring to make a scene.

"Truthfully, I don't know. But it doesn't matter because when I like someone, like really like someone, all that matters is that person to me," I say looking him back in the eyes.  I don't get how people say you can't romanticize brown eyes because his milk chocolate eyes are the most beautiful eyes I'd ever seen.  It's as if we're the only two people in the world at this moment and right now I wouldn't care if we were. It's different when I'm with Aleister and it always has been. I don't want to just have sex with him and then leave him for another person that I can ditch. I don't want to have a one night stand with him. I want to have sex with him, make him breakfast in bed, and be there to greet him every morning he wakes up. That's what I want.

I hear a dramatic clearing of the throat from Natalie and turn my attention to her.

"Right well are you going to talk about relevant things or not?"

Aleister focuses on her and I take my hand from his thigh. I think my point was made.
