Hey guys, I know I took a really long time with this one and I'm sorry. I just got caught up in a lot of drama and never was in the mood to write.
Alex's POV
I watch Sonny walk around the lake, collecting her things and leaving in a hurry. Mason's lucky I love him, cause if I didn't he would be a dead boy right now, 'cause that girl is really cute. I wonder if I'll ever get to see her again, I hope I do 'cause it seems like everyone around here is getting together with someone but me. Harper has Zeke, Mason and West are looking pretty good, that girl Thalia being with Max, no one cares about Justin and his mythical creature girlfriends so who does that leave me with? That's right, no one! I need a puppy.
"She was so hot." I groaned as I slumped down onto a picnic table, putting my head down. Harper rubbed my back as Mason sat down across from us.
"Guess who's number I got?" he said with a big smile on his face.
"Not Sonny's." I said with a rude tone to my voice. He gave Harper and confused look and faced me again.
"Who?" I sighed and elaborated.
"That girl I pulled out of the lake. She was really cute and she gave me a nickname already and she even fell for some Russo charm."
"Alex, you weren't even with her for a total of two minutes. How could all of that happened that soon?" I totally ignored Harper's question as I remembered something.
"Didn't you share a cab with a chick named Sonny?" She nodded. "This girl didn't even know that you could get a spare key from the front desk, which means she must be new to New York."
"Or just really dumb." Mason piped in. I shook my head, she didn't seem it.
"Harper what street did she live on?" I looked over to the direction where Sonny had left. East.
"74th I think, why."
"East 74th street. There's only one apartment complex on that block. So we go in and ask for the girl who dropped her keys in the lake's apartment number." I concluded.
"Don't you think that's a little stalkerish?" I nodded.
"Not if she dropped something and I was just returning it."
"But she didn't drop anything." I bit my tongue.
"Shut up Mason."

*The Next Day*
"Alex, this has got to be the dumbest, and smartest thing you've ever done." Harper whisper-shouted to me. I had stolen hover-craft shoes from my dad's draw full of magical things that he thinks he could keep away from me and am now scaling a building trying to see which room my beautiful brunette was in. Why didn't I just ask the boy at the desk? Because the douche wouldn't give me her room number.
God, this was taking so long. There's like seven floors and I'm barley up to the third. As I passed each window on the third floor I looked carefully, making sure I wouldn't miss her if she was in one of these rooms. This is hopeless, I thought sighing.
"Maybe I should just give up." I whispered to myself. I leaned my hand on the wall of the brick building as I slowly lowered myself down, making sure I didn't kill myself. I looked up for a brief second, stopping dead in my tracks, my breath hitching in my throat. Inside that window was no one other than the beauty her self. I smiled and nearly choked on my own saliva when I realized that she didn't have a shirt on. I choked, and I also lost control of the shoes and fell three stories, landing on a nice and comfy werewolf.
I rubbed my head as we walked home in a rush in fear that Sonny might have heard me, and thought about my plan. Not well thought through. I don't know how I would have gotten Sonny's room number from doing that, and I'm not sure I want to see her so soon after seeing her all...out. I blushed just thinking of it. I kinda felt bad that I saw her. I wouldn't want someone looking at me through a window, I doubt that she would.
"Alex!" I heard once I entered the substation. I looked up and saw my dorky brother running up to me. "I need you to cover my shift, I have to teach the delinquents." Oh yeah, did I mention that I dropped out of the wizard competition? Justin's still trying to get credits but it's not really working out for him.
"Fine, but you owe me." he nodded and jogged back to the kitchen and entered the lair. I sighed and put an apron around my waist, starting to take snobby costumers' orders.
After an few hours or so I was beat. Justin was supposed to be back by now but her never showed. I was taking a rest after lunch rush when Mason came in and sat on a stool in front of me at the counter. He chuckled at my exhausted face and ruffled my hair.
"Long day?" he asked with a laugh still in his voice.
"You have no idea." I groaned. "How's your back?" When I landed on him he kinda got hurt, bad. He shrugged his shoulders.
"I'll live. Where's Harper?" I looked around and found her walking out of the kitchen with a smirk on her face. "Speak of the devil." Her smirk only grew.
"Oh Alex, you have a customer." She said in a sing-song voice while pointing to someone looking over a menu at the opposite end of the counter as us. I blushed when I realized it was none other than Sonny. I grabbed my notepad from the bottom of my apron and a pen, and walked in front of her, staying behind the counter. I recited what I usually say to customers, but changed one small detail.
"Hi, welcome to Waverly Substation. I'll be your server my name is Superman. Have you decided what you wanted?" I said in a sweet voice. Her eyebrows furrowed as she, from my assumptions, went back over what I had just said, then she looked up. She smiled.
"Hi Superman, I didn't know you worked here, and no, I don't know what I want." I smiled and nodded, continuing to watch her as she looked down at the menu once again.
"You know it's impolite to stare." she said, not even looking up from the menu. I blushed and looked away for a moment. When I turned back she was looking up from the menu and at me. "Do you guys have anything simple? Like a grilled cheese or something? Everything on here is complicated." I smiled and nodded my my head.
"I can do grilled cheese. And to drink?" She smiled sheepishly.
"Milk?" I smiled and chuckled a little bit, but still nodded and handed the order to my dad in the kitchen.
I started up some conversation with her, just small talk, but she never asked me my real name. It started to nip at me until I couldn't handle it anymore, so I asked her.
"You don't like Superman? I think it suits you." She moved a strand of hair behind my ear and rested her hand on my cheek. Okay, I'm gonna kiss her now. I leaned in and was happy that she was too, I know this is crazy but it's so tempting, and when our lips tough I know it was the right thing for me. She stands up from her stood to make it more comfortable, not braking the kiss once.
"Alex, I got your order- ALEX!" I broke away from Sonny quickly to face my dad, his face was red and he looked like he was about to explode. I guess I'm outed.
Hope you liked it! Make sure to review and I promise the next one will come out much faster.
