Chapter 8 :From Sparkling to darkened Eyes.

After buying what I wanted, my feet stopped me in front of a cozy small restaurant.I smiled to myself as I made my way in,I was pretty much furnished since I did not have breakfast with Xander earlier on.

As I stepped in,I sent small smiles to those who sat around the table as they stared friendly at me.Friendly?Is that even the right word to say?Well,all i do know was that,they looked at me with bright faces.

I made my way to the counter where a pretty tall girl stood behind it.She had a nose ring,red hair and as I walked further to her,I noticed that she had green eyes too.My mind

drifted off to one person whose green sparkling eyes were the only thing that occupied it.

"I wonder who's the luckiest guy." A voice so sweet brought me back to reality.

I looked up to find the countergirl looking brightly at me.

I giggled and raised an eyebrow, questioning her statement.

"I mean," She started with a little laugh then continued."It's only a guy that can make you smile widely like you were doing just now." She said to me.

I didn't realize that when I was deep in my thoughts, I was smiling like a maniac.

I laughed a little. "Did I smile that-that wide?" I pretendly asked.

She laughed too."I don't remember, did you?" she played dumb too.

We both laughed at our dumbness.I stole a second to observe how beautiful she looked when she laughed and how her laugh was just soothing.She was really pretty.

"Uhm anyways, what can I get for you my lady?" She did a little dramatic bow which made me laugh even more.

"I'll have a French toast along with a cappuccino please." I said as I looked up behind her at the large screen that demonstrated their menu.

She seemed to be busy on the computer for a minute before her eyes found mine again with a smile on her face.

"Done." She said happily."French toast and a cappuccino coming right up."

"It was lovely being served by you." I said to the counter girl as I was done eating and ready to hit the road again.

She giggled."It was lovely serving you"

I smiled and walked my way out of the restaurant. But before I could step my foot outside, her voice stopped me.

"Hey." She called out from behind the counter.

I turned my feet around and walked back over to her.

"Hey,what's up?" I asked softly.

"I....uhm-i..." She stuttered trying to find her words as she stared down,fiddling with her fingers.

I smiled to myself as I observed that she was not only weird but also shy.

"Come out with it." I said in a rich thick accent as I tapped my fingers at the counter.

She laughed softly.

"Iwaswonderingifwecouldmaybeexchangenumberssowecoulduhm,talk sometimes?" she rapidly blurted out.

I laughed at her."Whoah geez,slow down hunny." I couldn't help but laugh more.

"Hey!Don't laugh." She playfully slapped my arm.

"Ouch!" I dramatically yelped out."Okay fine I won't laugh anymore. " I said in a promising voice.

"Goo-"

"But only on one condition." I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

She sighed and rolled her eyes."Fine!"

"I promise to stop laughing only if you slowly tell me what you really want to tell me." I laid out the condition.

She hesitated for a second before smiling with a nod.

"Okay." She said.

"Now come on,you have a long line to serve." I told her as I looked behind me to see a few people formed up in a line.

She looked at them and scoffed."They can wait."

I laughed. She was something else.

"I was wondering if we could maybe exchange numbers so we could talk sometimes?" She slowly punctuated word by word with her eyes closed.

Did I say she was a weirdo?Yep,I think I did.

"Come on,give me your phone." I said with a smile on my face.

She wasted no time and gave it to me.

I entered my numbers and saved them under 'Zoey.'

"There you go." I said giving her back her phone." Wasn't that hard now,was it?" I teased.

"It was pretty hard." She laughed.

We said our goodbyes again and I continued doing my shopping. When I entered the house, silence welcomed me.I let out a huge sigh of relief to know that mr handsome-devilish was not back yet.I checked the time and it was past 7 PM.

"Shit!" I cursed to myself as I sprinted to the kitchen.

I was supposed to have been done cooking dinner for Xander by that time.And now there I was,hands full of bags,stomach full but the pots were still as clean as ever. My forehead and palms started to sweat with fear as I ran to the kitchen as fast I can so I could start dinner before Xander could get back hom-

"Shit!" I said quietly to myself as my feet came to a halt as soon as I entered the kitchen.

I looked in front of me and there he was.Sitting on the chair next to the Island, his jacket suit laid on the Island, his tie was loosened,his white shirt had a few first buttons undone, his hair was a bit messy, his back had leaned back relaxily on the chair,his right arm had rested on the Island while his left arm rested on his leg.In his right hand,he had on a glass of whiskey.

"What's the meaning of all this Zoey?" He loudly yelled out with gritted teeth in his thick Italian accent that almost made me damp my panties but did manage to make me flinch a bit.

I looked up to find his eyes intensely staring at me.But one thing about them varied, they were no longer sparkling but darkened.

I gulped.
