~ Alexis's Pov ~

Today I start my new job at the Mystic Grill. Lately at school me, Elena, and Stefan have become really good friends. I've never really connected with anyone before. It's a nice change for once. The weirdest part though is that I can't keep getting Damon out of my head. I mean he is just a guy. What was so special about him? I mean he is arrogant, rude, and very conceited. But he is mysterious, handsome, interesting,…. Wait a minute I didn't just did not think that. Have I hit my head recently? Just shake it off.

I headed in to my new job. I walked over to Matt.

"Hey Matt." I said.

"Hey," he said, "Ready to start."

"Yep. Just tell me what I need to do."

"Put on your Uniform and take peoples orders."

"Yes Sir." I did the whole solider stance and tried to make my voice sound like a guys.

Matt just laughed. "You're a dork."

I just smiled and headed to the bathroom to change into my uniform.

Once I dressed I headed over to my first table.

"Hi my names Alexis and I'll be taking your order." I didn't see who it was when I walked up.

"Well we meet again." The voice sounded familiar. Oh please no.

I looked up and saw Damon.

"Hi Damon." I tried to say as civilized as I could manage. I tried not to look into his hypnotic electric blue eyes. I hadn't forgotten Stefan's warning. "What can I get you?"

"I think I know." He looked me up and down. I gave him my best glare, the one that says don't piss me off or it will be the last thing you do.

He put his hands up in surrender. "Okay. Sorry. How bout a beer?"

I wrote it down and said I would be right back.

I went over to the bar, grabbed a beer, and headed back over to Damon's table. I put it on the table and was about to walk away when Damon grabbed my arm. I was about to protest when he let me go.

"So how you liking Mystic Falls?" he said.

"Like any other place I've been, except its much easier to make friends here then I'm used too."

"And who would that be?"

"Really it's Elena and Stefan."

"Ah and was it hard to make friends before."

"Yeah, I've never been able to relate to most people my age." Why was I suddenly telling Damon all of this?

"Hmm why not?"

"I've been raised by a single mom most of my life and I just had to grow up a little bit sooner."

"So you've been a outcast?"

"Yeah I guess you can say that." I then saw Matt look at me.

"Well I better get back to work."

"I should probably be going too."

He got up and set money down on the table. He then looked at me. I couldn't deny it this time. I looked in to his eyes and I was lost. He was so beautiful at times it was breathe taking. I saw his face shocked a little. We were close and there was so much electricity that it was almost to much. There was so much heat that I felt him between the small space. I found myself eventually and stepped back.

"Well I guess I'll see you later" I said after I caught my breathe.

"I hope so." He said and smiled. Then turned around and walked out.

I had a feeling that this was going somewhere whether I wanted it to or not.

I got up and went back to work.
