New Greetings (Alexis/Jordan)

Alexis was walking around looking for something to do. It was a cople of days after the full moon and she was feeling better. She looked at all the scenery around and wasn't paying attention t owhere she was goigntand crashed into someone. "I'm so sorry" she told the stranger holding her hand out to steady whoever it was.

Jordan was walking around Founders Park, he seemed to love this area - just because it was his first place to be when he came to the Falls. The sun was out and shining fiercely, but it was beautiful - and he watched it as it lit up the world around him. He smiled as he saw little kids running around playing tag, and even passed a ball back to a kid that accidentally kicked it over to him. This was what he wished life was like, but deep down - that little kid didn't know what Jordan was, that he was a bloodthirsty monster. As he walked, he didn't pay attention to anything around him - and then he bumped into someone, a blonde girl, and she stumbled a bit then tried to steady both of them. He reached out and gripped her arms gently, keeping her up, and then he saw her - the cutest, most positively beautiful girl he had ever seen.

"I am so sorry...... I am Jordan, and who are you...?"

Alexis turned to se ethe stranger and saw it was a young man and he was quite cute, then her senses kicked in and she could tell he was a vampire. Her eyes widened but she wasn't going to be rude "I'm Alexis Monomyth" she said looking at him. "And you are?" she asked as she settled on the ground and fixed her shirt which got ruffled when she tripped.

This girl wasn't human, he could tell by how quick her reflexes were. If he was wrong though, he would simply compel her and be on his way - but if she wasn't, the could have a real chat. He offered her his hand, he didn't want her to be on the ground, getting dirty. It was no place for a lady, ever. He spoke, calmly, acknowledging her question.

"I am Jordan Aguillard. It's a pleasure, Alexis. Now.. you are not quite normal, and neither am I. Your reflexes were too fast to be human, so share a secret with me - and I will share with you."

He laughed at this, he had never acted like this before. He leaned down close to her ear, and whispered gently into it.

"I'm a vampire... a good vampire."

Alexis looked at him "I didn't know there was such a thing." she said. "I'm a werewolf." she said lowering her voice. She didn't want anyone to hear her. She stood there looking at Jordan not sure if she could trust him, but what he said was rigth. Her reflexes wer efast and she could handle herself.

He looked down at her, smiling - he didn't want to scare her. There was some unnatural attraction he had to her, regardless of if she was a werewolf. It pleased him to know that he had finally met a strong, almost normal girl - that could handle herself. He pointed at his heart, and laughed.

"You could stake me now, and I wouldn't even fight back. I wish I were human again... but it is an impossible wish, believe me - I've tried. And if you have a problem trusting me, that isn't a problem - its only natural. I trust you though, I since sincerity within you."

"Well you know how to charm people don't you?" she asked laughing a bit. "Don't worry I trust you." She did. She wasn't sure but something about him made her want to trust him. "You shouldn't go around telling people they can stake you, someone might take you up on the offer." she told him lightly

Her laugh was the cutest thing he ever heard, it simply put a large grin on his face. Why was he so giddy over a girl, that was probably going to die before he did? He was nearly seven-hundred and she was probably.... fifteen, at the most - or maybe he was wrong. Depicting the ages of humans wasn't exactly Jordan's strong point. She trusted him, and that made him happy - he easily gained her trust, but it wouldn't be for malice, he felt something with her.

"Wouldn't mind dying at the hands of a beautiful girl like you, via stake. Sounds pretty romantic, to me. Why are you out alone anyway?"

He couldn't help it, he laughed at this - he was a goof ball. But he didn't care, he was the softest vampire anyone could ever meet.

Alexis smiled and blushed a bit but she trued to hide it. "I'm getting away from my nrothe for a bit." she said laughing. "I neede dt ofind some excitement." she told him with a small smile and a laugh. "What about you?" she asked and shifted her weight form one foot to the other.

He loved to make people happy, but the fact that she smiled - it instantly made him smile. He knew how irritating family could be - even if he hadn't seen them in seven-hundred years. Excitement? They could go out and do something, but he didn't know what to do - and he didn't know if she did either. He put his hand on her shoulder and rested it there, gently.

"You could hang out with me... but I don't know what your definition of exciting is. And this is where I came the first time I had entered Mystic Falls - I come here daily."

"Well I was thinking of going into the woods." she said looking around the town she had seen it all. She wanted to do aomething exciting, and who knew what was lurking in the woods. "You wanna come?" she asked hoping he did.

The woods? Hm, he just left there not long ago - with a guy named Sergiy, last name... Monomyth! That was her brother? Oh man, that was interesting. He smiled at her and nodded, wrapping his arm around her gently - trying to not be impulsive. He pointed to his car which was parked a block over.

"I will drive us there then. And.... I met your brother just a little while ago, Sergiy is it? He seemed pretty nice, really liked me from what I saw."

Alexis' smile dropped "Driving?" she had not been in a car sinc ethat day when she was 13. "Why don't we walk? Or I can meet you there." she suggested making sure not to show her fear n her face.

He noticed a change in her personality when he mentioned his car, and he saw that beautiful smile go away. That literally stung his heart and he stopped moving and got on eye level with her, as he crouched down. With his index fingers he pointed her mouth back into a smile and smiled at her, laughing a bit. He would walk with her, just because she suggested so.

"Sorry, we can walk - I didn't mean to cause any trouble with you, or upset you. And lookie there! That beautiful smile is back."

"Could we please?" she asked and then calmed down some. "Sorry it's just I do not like cars." she said in a flat tone.

He held out his arm, so she could loop hers through his. She wasn't kidding, and he wasn't about to make her feel uncomfortable.

"Either grab my arm and walk with me, or I will carry you on my back. Either one is okay with me, but we are going walking. I didn't like how upset that made you, emotions are hard to mask around me, Alexis."

Alexis gave him a brilliant smile and looped he rarm in his. Maybe he isn't all bad. she thought and they walked through the town and went into the woods they walked for awhile and then it opened to a clearing "Ok where to?" she aske dsweetly.

He was happy when she took his arm, it made him feel great. He smiled down at her and began walking with her, towards the woods. When she asked where to, he had no idea what to say. He liked being out here with her, and he thought that was all that mattered.

"You lead the way, I am comfortable with you - wherever."

"Ok" she said and unrapped he rarm from his and then threaded her hand in his and closed her eyes and went left. She walked back into the tree line and found nother clearing that had a couple of small fallen structures. "Ok I know what I want to do, lets have a race." hse said lightly and look around.

Her hand was incredibly soft, and he just held it - he didn't want to let go. He just went with her, wherever her will decided to take her. This was nice, he liked her - already, he really liked her. When they approached another clearing she proposed a race, and that made him smile. He twirled her around in front of him, by her hand.

"And what are the prizes if you win, or I win?"

He said this smiling at her really big, trying not to just lean in and kiss her to death.

She smiled as she twirled with him then she let go of his hand and pretended to be serious. "I don't know. What do you want?" she asked looking at him witha slight glint in her eyes.

He looked at her, she was cute when she was attempting to be serious. He leaned down and wrapped his arms around her waist, pushing his forehead against hers, where there lips were literally inches apart. He pecked her lips gently, then laughed as he pulled away.

"More of that... if that is what you want, that can be the prize."

Alexis smiled as he kissed her lightly and their foreheads were pressed together. "OK, that’s the prize. Loser has to kiss the winner.” She said and a faint blush worked its ways to her cheeks. She took a tentative step back and walked over to a fallen branch. “Here is the start line.” She said.

He liked that prize, kissing the winner. Either way he won, and that didn't really give him motivation to beat her. He walked over to her and smiled at her, and stayed behind the line.

"You say when, beautiful."

Alexis smiled and got ready "Ok, On your mark, get set, Go!" she said and took off tearing through the woods. She ran around trees and saw that Jordan was keeping up with her and she wanted to lose him. Sure either way she won but still, nice way to get braggin priveleges.
