Nicola pouted, slumping down in his seat. "It's alcohol, isn't it?"

"It's not," she took a drink, "if you need a test just smell it, anything alcoholic smells."

"Lix, do you have any apple juice?" He decided to take the safe route. You could never go wrong with a juice box. Besides, Nicola loved apple juice.

"I'll ask the bar," she taking another drink before getting up. She moved to the bar and sat down crossing her legs. She leaned one elbow on the counter and rested her head in her hand. "What do you have for non alcoholic drinks such as juice preferably apple." She said sweetly and smiled wile watching the room using the mirror behind the bar.

Genevieve made eye contact with her in the mirror, then quickly looked away.

aw so cute, she thought to her self as the girl looked away. This was not uncommon for Lix people seemed drawn to her, but tended shrink away when her eyes landed on them. She took the glass of juice when it was set in front of her. She gave the girl a smiled as she passed by. Lix reclaim's her seat at the table with Nicola and passed him the glass. "Sorry, it's not in a box, but what do you expect? I'm not a soccer mom."

"I don't play soccer, Lix." He smiled and gave her a thumbs up, drinking the apple juice.

"I know," She smiled in return, "So how bout a game we are both more familiar with?"

Nicola finished the apple juice, looking up at her and tilting his head. "Pictionary? I'm really good at Uno too. Oh, and Candyland! I love Candyland."

Lix silently ponders how this kid ended up getting the queen rank. Then remembers that this behavior always got people to let their guard down. "No," she directs his attention to the girl, "Why don't you see if you can earn her trust by getting her number."

"Okay!" Nicola's eyes twinkled and he gave her a thumbs up. So. . . are we going to play Candyland after I do that?

((Hey, what time is it for everyone? For me it's 6:43 am))

"So, Gen. Tell me. Are you keeping up on your schoolwork like you promised?"

Nicola went up to the girl, a big smile on his rosy cheeks. "Can you hold something for me?"

"Oh, you're cute. But she's in the middle of a convo here. Bye," Aaleyah says, smiling as she shoos him away.

"Oh. I'm really sorry for interrupting your conversation. But thank you for the compliment." What do I do? If I stay, it'd be rude, but if I don't, Lix will kill me.

Lix took a drink of holy water and watched as Nicola was over eager and did not wait for the opportune moment to introduce himself. She laughed and waited to see how he recovers.

Aaleyah's phone rings. "Why can't you catch the bus?" She talks in Arabic. "Get mum to pick you up."…. "I'm working."….. "Fine. Be there in ten." She turns to Nicola. "You're lucky. I have to pick my brother up from soccer practice."

"Oh, he plays soccer?" Lix: "I'm not a soccer mom." Nicola looked at the girl in wonder. "Are you a soccer mom?"
