A/N: I changed the POV at the middle of the story and now, in the next chapter I'm going to change the verb tense too. No more present tenses 'cause it gets confuse. Please remember that this is my first fanfiction and what I really want from this experience is to learn some and sharp any skills that I may have.
I was entranced by his voice. I really wanted to turn around and finally see him but I couldn't move.
First I saw an arm holding a tray with MacDonalds' food, and then I finally saw Axel that took the seat in front of me.
His bright red hair was holding my attention but when he looked at me it was his eyes that made me gasp. God, as an artist I could spend the next century trying to define his eye color. It was a shade of green that remind me of emeralds but also of the sea. My paintings about the nature would be better if I ever could found a color like that.
"Enjoying yourself Roxie?"
I blushed hard at his words. I knew I was staring but he could be polite and not mention it. I completely ignore his comment. He was sporting a smirk that totally complimented his face and it gave him a mischievous look.
"I remember you now." I said. "But I must confess I didn't pay attention to you when we first saw each other."
He let out a heartily laugh and just like that I was mesmerized and also feeling like a teenager with a new crush. I just hoped it wasn't showing.
"Roxas you were busy dealing with a bad… relationship-to -be?" he said "It's obvious you hadn't the time to start building a good one".
I didn't know what to say to Axel. I dreamt with this moment for hours and now I didn't know what to do. I ate my pizza in silence and hoped for him to say something.
Axel must have taken that as clue for him to eat too. He basically devoured his food and I could only look in astonishment.
"What?" Axel asked me.
"You eat like a starved animal and yet you are so thin" I couldn't help but be brutally honest because that's the effect Axel has on me: he makes me be me.
"I was working all morning okay? I need the nourishment. So Roxas, don't know what to say to me huh?"
If there was a hole on the ground I would have disappeared gladly. Was he doing it on purpose?
"Do you really have to point out this kind of things Axel?"
A smirk appeared again on Axel's face. "Yes. I must do it actually if it's going to get me a reaction like this every time. You look cute when you blush"
My eyes widened in surprise. Was he flirting? He must have been thinking around the same lines because he quickly asked:
"So, I see you went to the Game store. What did you bought?"
"Just some game…"
"Roxas, Roxas…"said Axel while laughing "You are way more open when I talk to you by texts. Come on. Let's go past that weird feeling. Tell me more about you. Favorite color? Movie? Tree?"
I looked at him awkwardly. "Are you seriously asking me about my favorite tree?"
The rest of the lunch time was spent like this. Making questions that weren't personal but that allowed us to get to know each other's tastes and preferences until, unexpectedly, Axel's phone started to beep.
"I guess our time is over for now blondie. I gotta go work." Axel explained.
"That's fine. Thank you for joining me for lunch. It was nice to meet you Axel." I really tried to not sound disappointed even though I was.
I could see Axel smiling and shaking his head. I gave him a questioning stare and he explained. "Roxas, no need to be formal. I came here today because I was dying to talk to you personally and I'm happy that we had such a nice time together. But if it makes you feel better, it was nice to meet you too Mr. Strife".
It was my turn to laugh. He's right, I shouldn't be that uptight, but the fact that he was leaving was making me a little nervous.
Axel looked at his wrist-watch to check the time again and then swore. He got up from his seat and kissed me on my cheek. "Talk to you later okay?" And just like that he went away, to work.
When I finally got home I was still surprised that he had kissed me and wishing the kiss had been somewhere else.
