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."
Alex smiled when she noticed how surprised Damon was when she admitted that she did like him.
"Um. I've..you know.." She could feel her cheeks slowly turning red but she continued,
"liked you for a while..but I wasn't sure whether you liked me or not..so I just ignored..the feeling." She felt so stupid for saying that aloud..but she said it. She sighed and turned a little so that she didn't face him anymore.
"Oh, really? Who would that lucky lady be?" Alex couldn't help but grin. She hadn't been this happy in a very long time.
Ah. Turned out that he actually didn't mind her giving him a hug but she was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her. She leaned back a little and looked at him.
"Damon..I'm not really good at all this relationship stuff..you know, it's been ages since I've liked a guy and..anyway, the point is..do you want this? I mean, we--?" Uggh. She couldn't say anything right. She just hoped that he understood her.
"Yeah. Definitely something exciting." Alex laughed.
"I hope it's not a barbie doll or something.."
