LISTEN UP. THIS CHAPTER IS PRETTY MUCH SAPPY AND ROMANTIC SO TRY NOT TO GET TO DISGUSTED AND TELL YOURESELF, IT HAD TO BE DONE.
CHAPTER SIX: ASKING QUESTIONS
Alex sat in the office with Sabina. The door was closed and they both smiled. They hadn't seen each other in months and had tons to talk about. Alex had been given a list of questions he had to ask. He had placed the list face down but knew the first couple:
Full Name
Age
Birth Date
Favorite Place
Alex let her continue to speak and ramble, he got lost in her words, she spoke so fast, stopping for a second to get Alex's opinion and then continued. She laughed loudly and Alex laughed to though he didn't know why.
"Sab, can I ask you a couple of questions."
"Sure Alex, go ahead ask away"
And so he asked her the questions and apologized multiple times for having ask these ridiculous questions; until he came to the last one. He wanted to know here answer. Was it what he hoped it would be, was it when they kissed that night in her rented mansion.
"What your favorite moment with me?" He asked her.
She hesitated and thought. Truthfully it was when they kissed. But she couldn't let him know that, not yet. She thought, he keeps secrets from me and I surely can do the same.
"When we were working at Wimbledon, that's my favorite time with you." She said a little disappointed with herself for not telling him.
Alex was too disappointed with himself, he was actually afraid to tell her he like her. He thought to himself, what a bad time to fall in love. He laughed inside, a sarcastic laugh. First love and possibly his last couple of days.
"That's all." He said thankfully. He stood up and looked at the clock; it was late.
"Sab. Where's your father anyway?"
"At the hotel. He thinks I am at the movies and at your house eating dinner and hanging out."
"You're telling me that he doesn't know you're here and what we're doing."
"Nope." She smiled.
"Than how does he know I am coming to the Middle East with you?"
"I told him that we would be here for a while and that I already emailed you asking you to go, because we haven't seen each other for a long time and I didn't want go alone. Now lets ask you Alex. Why are you acting so differently?"
"Dieing can do that to a person."
"What!"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"You talk or I don't go."
"Fine!" Alex screamed. Sabina looked stunned. She was quiet. "I'm sorry." He said. "Sit down and I'll tell you."
She sat not talking or diverting her eyes from him. He sat too and began his story. He told her about Scorpia, Invisible Sword and his parents. He told her about the sniper and the coma and seeing his parents. In the end he had finished his story and got up and approached the door his back turned. He turned the door-knob.
"I am sorry about pushing." She said.
He didn't turn around. "It's okay. Good night Sab, see you tomorrow."
He walked out and left the building towards home.
