She giggled when he took a bow. Oh, wait. Since when did she start giggling!? She sighed. Things were starting to get a little confusing. So..yeah, maybe she did have a really small crush on Damon but..she wasn't sure if he'd want to...nope. She shook her head. No, she wasn't going to give it any more thought. Gosh. Total confusion. Anyway.. "Yeah, you did. You have a natural talent, my friend." She said, with a grin.

"Me? No. Not at all. You should give it a try. You did WAY better than me." Alex gave him a smile. "I'm pretty sure you're going to land the ring on the bottle this time."
Damon gave Alex a mischievous smile before looking down at the ring in his hand. Damon had to admit that he was having a blast with Alex, and a part of him was attracted to her as more than just friends. Damon looked up at Alex, a bit of wonder in his eyes as she stood there with her arms crossed. Would Alex even be interested in dating someone like him? Damon gave her another little smirk before clearing his throat. "So, forgive me if I'm being too bold, but...uh...I was wondering if you had anyone...you know...special in your life? Or someone that you were interested in?"

Damon somewhat regretted the words as soon as they had come out of his mouth. That was far too bold of a question, not to mention if he was misreading the signs, he had just created an incredibly awkward situation between the three of them. Uh-oh. Nodding with another little smile as Alex insisted he throw the last one, Damon chucked it up into the air, entirely sure that it was definitely going to miss.

His eyes were on the ground the instant after he released it, slightly mad and slightly embarrassed that he had even thought to ask the question let alone say it aloud when he noticed that he didn't hear the tink that he heard the first time he threw, and when Alex threw it. Looking up in disbelief Damon noticed that the ring was perfectly around one of the bottles positioned right in the middle.

"Oh my god...can you believe?" Damon asked, his mouth falling open slightly from the shock of it all. Surely that had been a mistake...Damon just didn't win games like this...EVER.
