She'd liked this guy a couple of years back but yeah..it never really worked out and since then..she'd been too busy to give any attention to her love life. She cleared her throat and continued, "But..there might be someone that I like." She could feel a smile tugging the corners of her lips. If he was smart, he would know that it was him that she liked but yeah..there was no harm in making him guess a little.
Alex stood nearby as she waited for him to throw the final ring. She was still wondering as to how this situation came out. She had absolutely no idea that he actually liked her..well, liked in a 'more than just friends' way.
A surprised look crossed her face when she noticed that his ring had actually landed on the bottle. WOW. She laughed when she saw his face. Ah. He seemed to be more shocked that she was. "Hey, you did it!" She gave him a quick hug. "You're great!" She frowned for a minute, thinking about the hug..but bleh. There was no use thinking about it..if he didn't like it, he would just tell her, right? "So, what do you think the prize will be?" She hoped it wasn't a teddy bear. Ugh.
At the instant that Alex's mouth fell open Damon realized he had made a bad decision. A very bad decision. He should have just kept his mouth shut and not said a word. Way to go to him...the moment killer. Adam had shoved his hands into his pockets, uncertain what to do with himself since what he really wanted to do was just walk away and leave Alex alone. Surely she didn't need someone in her life that was this mental. However just as Damon was about to excuse himself to go crawl into a corner and die Alex actually started to answer the question.
But there might be someone that she liked? Damon turned to look at Alex who had a little smile on her face. Was she admitting that she liked him too?
"Well...that's good, because there's someone that I may like too, and uh...she's standing pretty close by," Damon said with a little smile, hoping that it was obvious to Alex that he meant her.
Inside of course Damon was holding reservations about having just said that, because there was always the possibility that Damon had completely misread her. After all, he wasn't exactly the best at relationships or reading people. But when Alex reached up and hugged him without any hesitations Damon could help but feel like he was at least somewhat right. Damon wrapped his arms around Alex's waist and gave her a little squeeze.
What did he win?
" I actually have no idea," Damon said with a little laugh.
"Hopefully something exciting."
