Deer in the Headlights

[Alexandria Clayre Reed]

Aiden's random comment regarding the quality of the hot dog startled Alex, but she tried not to show it too much. "Oh, it's fantastic." She said in an overly dramatic tone that was said with a slight accent. She laughed a little and then took another bite of her dog and then got a drink of the heavenly water. "Oh c'mon Aiden. I'm not mad that you dragged me here. You dragged me towards food, and I love food, so it's okay." She winked and then adjusted her position on the bench a few inches over to give Aiden some more space. She was basically squishing him. ( =P )

Jake started making comments to her about her and Aiden and she instantly blushed but was kind of irritated. She didn't like when people teased her about anything. Her immediate thoughts are 'gtfo.' "Uh..sure." She said about the 'so you and Aiden huh?' thing. She slightly turned her shoulder away from Jake and looked at Aiden like 'ugh help!' and then turned back to Jake. "Yeah, pretty dang handsome if you ask me." She winked.

Jake started asking Alex questions about photography and if she liked it and if she was good. "Uh...ye---" She started and then Jake started to reach for her camera. Aiden said stop at the same time Alex started pulling the camera more towards her body and away from the grasp of this new stranger. "It's fine. I would just appreciate it if you didn't mess with it. I don't really let anyone, so don't be offended." She said directly at Jake. "Anyway, I do take pictures, quite frequently actually." She said, pulling up the camera to her eye and snapping a picture of Jake. "And, I'm okay I guess. I can't really be the judge of myself."

She took two more bites of her hot dog, finally finishing it off. "Yum." She whispered to Aiden and got up real quick to throw away the plate, but soon returned back to the table seconds later. She sat real close to Aiden again, slightly wondering if it was bugging him at all.
