The October wind cuts at my face as I walk outside. I am wearing a tight brown dress and gold ballerina flats. I have cut my hair super short again and dyed it red. People are staring at me as I walk quickly past store windows and little eateries. I always get attention yet find myself alone most of the time.
When I get to Alex's apartment, he lets me in with a smile which almost knocks me over. I walk inside and hand him my jacket.
He is tall and thin about 6'3. I quickly find myself crushing on him. He tells me to come and sit next to him. He doesn't offer me a drink or a snack. He just starts on the scripts. I rollmy eyes and flop down next to him on the couch.
"What is it?" he asked me.
"Can I have some water?" I asked him, standing up again.
"Yeah sure." He begins to rummage through the cabinets for a glass and hands me a cup of water and I drink it slowly. My blue eyes staring at him over the rim.
"You have nice eyes Megan." He takes my glass and sits it on the counter and we go back to the couch.
"Now, the lead character may be Michelle. I am thinking she has got great stage persona." He is looking at me with brown eyes behind those nerdy Clark Kent glasses. I love nerds and he turns me on so bad that I squirm in my seat.
"No, I don't like her. The last two plays we put on she was really bitchy Alex. You should get someone we never saw before." I am thinking about myself. I get so nervous on stage, but I am tired of the perky blonde cheerleader who gets every role we ever offer.
"Do you have anyone in mind then?" He takes off his glasses and the brown eyes are like molten caramel. I blush and look away.
"You know what Alex? I think we could do some auditions and find a fresh face. I can make flyers and we can..." My voice trails off because he is kissing me.
His kiss sends me reeling and I open my eyes to stare at him.
"Was that for the part?" I ask him.
"No, I just wanted to kiss you Megan." He smiles and puts on his glasses and starts to look at the notes again.
I didn't want him to act like he didn't kiss me.
