Chapter One.
One foot in front of the other, I thought to myself. I was finally going to marry the love of my life, Justin Pepay Russo. We've been dating for over 4 years after we both graduated college. That's how we met actually..
I was sitting on a bench on campus drinking coffee alone since Elle had went to get lunch with her boyfriend, Nick. They'd gotten married right after college was over. I saw the boy everyone always talked about walk towards the bench I was sitting at. He approached the bench and sat down. I looked at him through the curtain that was my hair and saw he was looking at me too. He just smiled and looked down at his phone. I continued sipping my coffee waiting for it to be time to go to my next class. Maybe I should go to Elle and I's dorm, I thought.
Finally, after about 5 minutes of silence, Justin said: "Hey, Alex, right?"
I sucked in some air. He knew my name? He didnt know half the girls names in U.S.C. But why would he know mine? No guys ever really showed an interest in me. Not in high school at all except for one boy who ended up being a player. What should I say? I was always awkward around boys. Especially cute ones. I tucked my hair behind my ear and looked over at him.
"Yeah.. Justin?" I replied finally.
He nodded and smiled at me with his crooked smile again. It looked so adorable on him. That smile gave me butterflies in my my stomach. No, I thought to myself. I'm not going to fall for him. But it was possibly too late. I already was.
I thought of how I fell for that one guy in high school. It was because he was charming actually. Just like Justin. Boys like this were no good though. I should just wait for these sudden feelings to pass.
"Arent you the one who is always hanging with Elle and Nick?" he asked me.
I looked down then back up at him. Maybe he does notice me. Maybe he isnt like all boys. I never had expected attention from boys in college.
I suddenly looked down again and nodded.
Damn it Alex! Stop being shy! I suddenly felt a hand brush my hair out of my face. My heart skipped a beat and my cheeks burned red.
"Dont hide your face.." he said softly.
My heart raced. I blinked a couple of times before I looked up at his awaiting face. I smiled shyly. His green eyes were fixed intently on my face.
Those eyes that took my breath away..
"Alex?" he began. "Would you like to go out with me sometime?"
I couldnt believe it. We havent been talking for 2 minutes and he was already asking me out. Maybe he has been noticing me, like I've noticed him. Was this for real?
I thought about the guy again from high school. Stop comparing Justin to him, I thought to myself sternly.
"S-sure," I managed to choke out.
Take risks I guess. But I just couldnt believe this gorgeous green eyed boy liked me. Me! Alex Russo! I dont think anyone could think that. I was a plain brown hair, brown eyed girl. Sure I wasnt ugly but I wasnt supermodel material. Im not overweight either.
Justin interrupted my thoughts.
"Meet me at this bench tonight at 8:00? Or do you have classes?"
I shook my head no.
"I'm free after 7. So that's perfect!" I said maybe a little too loudly.
"Great. See you then." he replied smiling.
And with that, he got up and walked off, leaving me stunned.
Authors Note: This is my first fanfic! I know i have some room for improvement. Please review and tell me how i did! And BTW, Justin and Alex are obviously not brother/sister in this fanfic.
