Well, hey there guys! I hope you liked the last chapter, also, thank you for reading and reviewing. I was typing this story with one hand since I was eating ice cream in the other. :)
Enjoy.

Alex's POV
"Here, these glasses will help you with Juliet." I hand Justin my disguising magical specs. "So what do these do?" Justin eyed the glasses suspiciously while I rolled my eyes. "They'll disguise you as someone else, the vampires won't know it's you." I could swear I felt his face lighten up as bright as Harper's mood whenever she's at the Farmer's Market.
"So, how's it going with that Mitchie girl?" My non-caring facade slips for a bit. "What do you mean?" He smirks slightly, enjoying my small moment of obliviousness. "Do you think she likes you back?"
"Hey hey, I didn't ever say I liked her!"
"So you don't?"
"I didn't say that either!" Dang.
"Oh Alex, so clueless." I give him my 'ugh' face. "As far as I know, she's not gay." He tilts his head upwards with an eyebrow raised. "How would you know that?" I chuckle to him and respond, "One word, gaydar." He struggles to stifle a laugh. "You so do not have gaydar!"
"Pshh hah, ya I do. It always goes off in my head when you're around." Justin eyes me for a bit. "You're just jealous." We both laugh, waving off the small chat as Justin heads towards the doors.

Mitchie's POV
I was sitting on my bed, playing with my guitar, well, I was randomly plucking the strings. My mother yelled to me from the living room, "Honey, I'm going to work! Behave alright?!" I gave a knowing nod and yelled back, "Okay mom, bye!" Resting my head against the backboard, I was bored. No pun intended. "Hm, what to do what to do?" I released my grip on the guitar and positioned my arms to that of The Thinker. "..I'm bored." Obviously.
A couple of boring minutes passed by, but my cellphone vibrated, alerting that I had just received a text.
Alex:) - want to go for coffee in 15 min?
Mitchie:) - yeah! where do u want to meet?
Alex:) - how about substation?
Mitchie:) - ok, see you then
Alex:) -kay
Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! I get to go on another date with Alex. I start to feel a warm blush come to my face. I touched my cheeks, "She kissed me last night." I can feel myself smiling dumbly. "Well, time to get ready." I pick up my guitar from my bed and lean it against a nearby corner, then head off to the direction of my closet.

Alex's POV
"Dad, I'm the good child? Just think about that, I should be the one in trouble since I've been trying to send Max to an undersea camp for the summer and the kid's dad was a wizard cop who recognized my voice from somewhere you else don't wanna know." My parents stare at me with their mouth open slightly, "L-look dad, you should focus on punishing me for that thing I almost did and the other thing I did."
Dad walks over to Justin and places his hand on Justin's shoulder. "You know what, Alex, you're right. Justin, Juliet, you guys can date." Justin and Juliet smile and hug each other. "That's great, but it's not official until I write it on the whiteboard!" Hm.. maybe I should write 'Justin is ghey' on the whiteboard to make it official also.

"I"m gonna work on an impression of you all summer." Wh-what!?
"Max, please. I'm begging you." No no no please don't..!
"Max, please. I'm begging you."
"Please leave me alone." Arghh!
"Please leave me alone."
"Stop it!" I walk as fast as I can out of the substation.
"Stop it!"
"I will give you five dollars to leave me alone, five dollars!"
"Deal." That was easy. I grumble at him as I reach into my back pocket looking for my wallet. "Give me a sec." I open my wallet and I'm horrified. No money. Ah crud.. maybe I'll just borrow from Justin. "Hey Max, look, an aardvark!" Max whips his head around to the direction of where my finger is pointing. "Where?!" I run towards home.

"Please Justin, can I just borrow twenty dollars? I have a date with Mitchie." He sighs, then physically submits as his shoulders slouch a little. "Fine fine, since you helped me with Juliet." He takes out his leather wallet and skims his finger across the dollar bills. I lean in a little to look at what's inside. "Hey, how about thirty?"
"Don't push it."
"Didn't think so."
"So here." Justin hands me a twenty dollar bill. "Thanks." He nods as a response.
"Hey Justin, you wouldn't happen to have five one dollar bills would you?"
"Oh yeah, I do. Why though?" I snatch the bills from his hand and giggle. "My twenty was getting lonely." He sighs at me gruffly and nods it off. "Whatever, you owe me money!"
Hm.. what is this feeling I'm getting. "My gaydar senses are tingling." Justin eyes me. "Is it because I'm here?" I place a finger on my chin and tap my foot, looking up towards the ceiling. "Mmm maybe." Justin mumbles on words that sound like 'gaydar my left foot'.
As if on cue, Mitchie shyly entered through doors looking around.

Mitchie's POV
Why can't there be an arrow that points to Alex saying, 'Hey, Alex Russo is right here!', it'd be great if it was blinking too. I furrowed my brow, it's a quirk I have when I'm in deep thought.
"You look like my dad whenever I ask him for shopping money." Alex popped out from my right side and leaned forward with her hands clasped behind her back. "W-what do you mean?" She gave me a sly smirk and stood up straight.
"Well.." She puffed her cheeks out slightly and used her fingers on her eyebrows for emphasis. "He looks like this, and you look like this right now too!" I scoffed and crossed my elbows. "Says the girl that looks like a walrus at the moment." She deflated her cheeks and stared at me. "...." Still staring.
Someone cleared their throat loudly, causing Alex to snap her head towards the offender. Turns out it's her brother.. holding a sign..? 'GAYDAR' She slapped the air in front of her repeatedly, making Justin drop the sign and run.
"Stupid brother." She turned around and smiled brightly at me. "Ready to go, Mitchie?" I nodded dumbfoundedly and followed Alex as she pulled me by the arm out the door.

"I've.. never drunk coffee before.." I lowered my head and fiddled with my fingers. "How about we get a cappuccino for you then?" I nodded to Alex, not really knowing what it would taste like.
She chuckled as if understanding. "Don't worry, it's not strong or anything." Grabbing both of our beverages, she led the way to an empty table. "So tell me about yourself."
"What?"
"You know, well, you don't have to if you want. I'm just very curious about you."
"Curious? About m-- What is this?!" I stare at the cup I'm holding with a flabbergasted expression. Alex grabs as many napkins as she can to wipe up the mess I just spat at her shirt. "I-I'm sorry Alex, really sorry!"
"H-h-h-h-ho-ho-hot! Oh my gosh it's freaking hot!" Jumping up and down frantically, she fans her cardigan out with her hands. Without thinking, I grab the pile of napkins she created earlier and attempt to dry her tank-top. "Erm, Mitchie you can stop trying to dry.. my boobs."
"I.. uhm, sorry!"
"No no no, I'm sorry. I gave you my coffee by accident." I feel so guilty, her clothes are going to be stained now. "Here." She hands me a different cup of coffee (which I assume is my cappuccino) and a couple of napkins. "Th-thanks."
"Mm hmm." She sits down calmly and takes off her blue striped cardigan, revealing her white stringed tank-top I just stained with coffee.
A couple minutes of agonizing silence passed by, the awkwardness of the situation obviously increasing.
"Oh what the feathers.." I raise my gaze from my coffee to Alex's face, she's looking out the window to a blond girl jumping while waving to us. "I'll be right back, she's my brother's girlfriend." I nod knowingly and continue to drink my coffee as she walks out the doors and across the street.
Was it at the coffee shop?
