Chapter 24 MEETING ALIXIES

Laura was standing at the entrance to the rooftop, watching her friend paced to and fro when Rubin walked in on her from behind.

"Was wondering where you left to." He said, making Laura jerked, swiftly turning in the process to meet his face just an inch away.

She stood staring at him with those puppy grey eyes and the whole world seemed to froze at that moment.

Taking in the sight of those shinning blue eyes, an unusual sensation raced through her heart, making it thump faster. "W–what's this feeling?" She grumbled mentally to herself.

It was Rubin's first time having this close eye contact with Laura. He felt those eyes telling him something but couldn't place a hand on what it could be. Her eyes bored into him and for a second, he felt like curbing her face. To assure her he would be there for her and protect her. To tell her everything was going to be alright.

A sudden scream from the rooftop brought them back to reality.
