570 Words
Aria's POV:
I really had an amazing connection with Xander, it was electric, like gears fitting perfectly together. It's a bummer we aren't born in the same time periods. I waited for his call.
A: HEY!!!!!!
I said a little too excited
X: Hey, good to see u again how are you?"
A: "Good, how about you?"
X" I'm Great"
He trailed off staring at my chest, my aim of attracting him was achieved.
A: "Xander " I sang his name
X: yeah Aria
A: my eyes are up here
I pulled the blanket over myself to make him frustrated.
X: your eyes......................................of course I know that.
He snapped out of it clearing his throat, a faint pink hue on his cheek.
A: So Gun showcase?
X: Yeah Gun Showcase?
A: What are they like?
X: A bunch of old guys and gun fanatics in a room bidding over weaponry, they are very quiet, we have few online bidders too.
A: So nothing fun happens?
X: I'll keep u from getting bored.
A: So bidding?
X: Once the auction is only a few hours from closing, bids will be coming in rapidly from all across North America. We have a user base of thousands of serious firearm collectors who are determined to win the pieces they choose to bid on. But here’s the thing: they don’t always win! That’s the beauty of auctions—if you throw in a higher bid, you will land the item. It’s as simple as that!
I smiled as he rambled my cute gun dork.
A: What happens after?
X: We take care of all the paperwork, transferring the gun’s ownership, and even transport/ship the item to the winner.
A: Sounds cool and you'll be there so I'll look forward to it.
X: We'll keep each other company.
We stared at each other smiling like goofballs.
A: So you prepared for the auction?
X: Yeah my assistant prepared everything.
A: Looks like you are still at your office
X: yeah had some final minute stuff to do about to head out.
A: So get up and go home
X: I will, I just don't wanna thang up and u fall asleep.
A: Then don't hang up, I'll accompany you on your way home.
X: My night in shining armor.
A: I got you, princess
I winked.
We rambled on the way to the elevator to the garage.
A: Now focus on the road and just talk to me.
X: yes ma'am
Crash
X: What was that?
A: My crazy neighbors having a lovers spat probably?
I got up on full alert.
X: look at the peephole in your door?
I went and looked and came back.
A: Some drunk tenant in the hallway.
X: Your door is closed?
A: Obviously.
X: send me your address.
A: Xander go home, I appreciate it but it's fine.
X: I wasn't asking Aria.
I told him my address and before I could blink he was at the door.
A: Happy now Mr. I'M NOT ASKING, I opened the door for him.
X: I called security for him. He didn't live here.
A: Then how did he get up here.
X: No idea but he did and I think you should move.
A: I'm not moving.
X: Aria
A: I'm not moving you cant tell me what to do?
The intense stare off began and I wasn't tapping out.
