Summary

Her eyes make crescents when she smiles. She looks so innocent, just like a child. It makes him want to be the cause of that beautiful smile. The way that she laughs, gives him butterflies. It makes him want to protect it. To protect her. To shade her from this cruel world, and never let harm come her way. Credits belong to the original owner of the picture.

“I’m bored!” Valencia whined.

“It’s been half an hour since Ayden said he’d be here!” She says, as she makes her way to the sofa and lies down on it, placing her arm lightly on her forehead.

Alec was sitting on the couch next to hers and watching TV while Leia was sitting on the recliner, reading a romantic novel.

“Why don’t you go to your boyfriend?” Alec says nonchalantly.

“Are you going to start this again?” she says, turning her head to face him. “It’s getting annoying you know.”

“Well it’s not like it’s not true...,” he responds suggestively.

“Alec,” she says annoyed, “You of all people, you should know that no one has ever dated me before.” she says, clearly tired of having the same argument with him every day. Only he could make her this exasperated, and she hated it.

“Oh please,” he says getting in the mood. “Do you change your boyfriends so often, that you’ve begun to forget their names?“, he says while taking a bite of the sandwich he just made.

“Give me some as well,” she says while pointing at the sandwich, “I’m hungry...”

“This?” Alec says while pointing his index finger in the direction of the now half-eaten bread.

“Yeah,” she says tiredly.

“Well.... give me a kiss and it’s all yours,” he says showing his signature boxy smile.

“This isn’t fair, you do not even give me your sandwich, and yet you continue to put salt on my wounds.” Valencia says as she wipes away an invisible tear.

“You’re the worst,” she grunts.

“I know you love me,” Alec replies, blowing her a flying kiss.
