MY POST Aiden sighed and wrote his number down, "They all say stuff like that. It's usually followed by a tearful apology and a night or two in the sack." He gave her a brightened smile and hopped off of his barstool, stuffing the napkin with her number into his breastpocket, "I'm heading out, "Hit me up when you're heading back, alright?"
Arthur stood, "I'd better go too. Akira's going to be home soon to b***h wildly about Madeline going to his school today."
Aiden sucked his teeth as if hearing that was painful, "You poor old fart. Your heart condition won't allow for that, will it?" He laughed and they exited, leaving the coffee shop empty save for the woman within.
---
Akira rolled his eyes and stood, grabbing Madeline by the upper arm, "Let's just go. I hate everyone."SAM'S POST Alexis watched every one leave and waited a couple extra minutes then walked to the back to get the "closed" sign. She hung it up on the door. Taking time to write a note and stick it to the door. "be back soon." it read.
Racing to the back again she changed cloths, into her light and comfy fitting outfit, one she just for dancing, then she grabbed her bag and ran out the door, all too excited.
When she got there, there was only one other person who was there to try out. One of the volunteers said that the majority of the people that tried out came earlier. She was forced to sit and wait for about a half an hour. Then she had time to warm up and talk to the director and choreographer. She wanted to try out for the Princess, but she made sure to tell them that if she didn't get that part, that she would be willing to take any other part open.
Time flew by as she talked, then all too suddenly they asked her to do a small performance. She danced the best she could and really put all the passion she had in her, into that dance.
In the end she was excused and told they would be in touch. She took a quick glance at her clock and booked it back to the cafe. On the way she pulled out her phone and managed to send a text to Aiden. "I'm on my way back."

Alejandro Araballo (26)
Occupation: Business Owner, and by business, we mean the best club in town
Appearance: A tall, black-haired, brown-eyed man with a charming smile and an ego behind it. He has a nice, even tan and looks way too good with his shirt off to be ignored.
Bio: Alejandro, as his name suggests, if foreign, but only half, as to also be an Araballo, and, to keep up with the tradition, fathers name their sons names which start with A's.
Tidbits: Not much of a coffee drinker. Also, he's always been really competitive with his cousin Aiden.
--------
Aiden recieved the text and was as thankful for his phone as he had ever been. He used it as an excuse to pull away from the woman who was worming her way into his shirt.
"How about that date then?"
Reluctantly, she got up and the two of them headed over to the coffee shop.
---
Alejandro Araballo parked before the coffee shop and pulled out his phone for the picture to compare the place to. Once he confirmed that the two were the same he sighed, "Just like you, Aiden." He shuffled a bit before climbing out of his Mercedes and closing the door and approaching the coffee shop only to find that it was closed. It was rather early, he thought, but then again, this area of town was for old people. That reminded him to glance around for his Uncle Arthur.
He didn't see his uncle, however he caught sight of the girl hurrying to the door. He was about to inform the girl that the shop was closed until he realized she was probably an employee, there was no other reason to run to an empty coffee shop.
"Heya," he smiled a smile rather infamous around that side of town, "You wouldn't happen to know a certain blonde-haired spaz who calls himself Aiden, would you?"

Alexis stopped as she tried to hurry and get her keys from her pockets. "Ha, yeah, I'm gonna take a wind guess, but you must be here to meet him?" She asked returning to opening the door. She had hoped for a little more time before every one showed up. She had wanted to change at the least.
The door clicked open and she walked inside calling over her shoulder "Come on in, I just had some thing to do, so I had to close down, Aiden should be here in a few." Alexis walked over to the counter lifting the fake counter piece "can I get you anything wile you wait?" She asked flashing her own smile at the man. She couldn't help but notice him, he was hansom, every time she looked at him, she wanted to smile.

Alejandro stepped inside following the lady and took a seat at the counter, kindly turning down the woman's offer, "I'm not big on caffeine." He looked around at the small and brightly pastel-colored little shop, "Aiden coem here a lot?" He turned back to her to flash her a smile, "I mean, I have no doubts that this is the place, he's always telling me about the beautiful woman behind the counter."

Alexis blushed lightly. "least I'm getting a good word out there." she said smiling right back. Trying to distract herself Alexis pulled out her cell phone and checked her texts. She had on from a friend. She did a quick little reply. What else could she do that would keep her from staring at the hottie that was distracting the hell out of her.
Looking up at him again she sighed "Could I at least get you water then?"

Alejandro smiled, "Would that make you happy? You seem a little stressed right now." He jerked his head toward his side of the counter, "Come over here, take a seat, relax, there's no one here demanding anything anyhow, is there?" He smield again, "I'm quite interested to know about you, even about this place, it's very popular among my associates, and others." He held onto his smile and pat the seat beside him, "But mostly about you."

Again Alexis felt her face heat up as she blushed. "I guess." Lifting the fake side of the counter she walked out to sit next to him. "I didn't really think this place had that good of a name, some how I think you're lying to me." Alexis smiled and leaned back on the counter.
"So tell me first, how do you know the ever lovable Aiden?"

Although quiet for a short moment, Alejandro answered first with a long darwn-out inhale through the nose, "I'm lucky enough to be related to the nutcase." AT that moment, he seemed to remember that they hadn't been introduced yet, and aside from saying what he was thinking Alejandro, by the way, you should remember it, you'll be screaming it later. He stuck with his charm and simply said, "Alejandro, by the way."
---
Aiden, still en route to the coffee shop was currently being bombarded with awkward sexual advanced from the woman in the passenger's seat. He wormed away as much as he could, but it was making driving rather difficult. "Bec, could you please, I'm trying to drive."
"I'm helping you relax," The woman smiled behind all of the colors within her crazy make-up. Her hair was an even chin-length and jet black, with the bangs currently being tousled by the circular, red retro sunglasses. The rest of her outfit was red and gold, with an occasional article of clothing being touched by black, but her style was something that someone could really only get away with when they had fame like she did.
She reached for Aiden's hair this time and pushed it back with a smile, "You're so cute, I wish you'd give in to me already."
Aiden rolled his eyes and continued to repeat in his head that this was just one dinner, just one dinner that he didn't even have to call a date.

Alexis laughed "Oh you sound so thrilled." she giggled for a few more moments before she realized he was right. She looked embarrassed, how could she have been so rude? "Oh ha yeah sorry, I'm Alexis, own of this place." She stuck out her hand to shake. "Nice to meet ya." In the back of her mind she remembered he said he didn't like caffeine, so she suspected this would be the only time she saw him, which was fin, she had enough trouble focusing with Aiden around.

He took her hand to shake it and held on for an extra moment, while holding an extended eye contact before he finally let go. Alejandro looked away for a second before glancing back, "Forgive me if I'm being, forward, but, you don't like Aiden, do you?" He prepared to correct himself quickly, "I mean, of course you like him, else you'd have banned him, but I mean, you know, have a thing for little Aiden."
He sighed, "I know, I know, it's not really my business, but I couldn't stand to see such a beautiful woman have her heart broken by the likes of him." he let out a half-laugh, "or perhaps you were unaware of that reputation of his?"

Alexis was slightly taken a back. She had never talked to some one so forward, unless she counted her father. "I wasn't aware he had a reputation." She said avoiding the first part of his question. "What reputation could he have other then being a nut case?" she asked more interested then ever. She knew this was a subject she probably leave alone, but she was a girl, and like most, she loved gossip.

"Aiden?" Alejandro started, sounding almost shocked that she didn't know, "Aiden's a little heartbreaker. A 'Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me' type of guy. If you catch my drift." He sighed and seemed to relax a little, but he kept his eyes down and shook his head quietly for a moment before continuing, "It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't so many, and especially the ones he gets engaged to. Those get nasty."
---
Meanwhile Aiden was just pulling up with his "date" when he noticed the car. That Mercedes that was unmistakably his cousin's, and he did not want to deal with his cousin right now. Actually, he wouldn't mind seeing that Mercedes fly off of a cliff (with his cousin behind the wheel of course).
Aiden sighed, "You sure you don't want to date the guy who drove the Mercedes here?"
"Is he you?" Beccalynn asked the man she was now linking arms with. It was a rhetorical question of course, she wasn't stupid.
"No." Aiden sighed with a roll of his eyes.
"Then no, I'm fine." Beccalynn smiled and dragged him inside, "So why this place? You know the owner or something?" She pushed open the door and dragged him inside. There she shrugged, "It's cute I guess. I can deal."

Alexis was playing with her necklace and it's charms, she did that when she got nervous. She didn't get why she felt nervous now. Aiden couldn't be that kind of guy, least she hoped not.
Her thoughts were pulled away when she heard the bell over the door to the cafe. She looked back and saw Aiden and a new girl. Getting up she greeted them "Hi ya take a seat where ever you like."
Alexis walked into the back, excusing herself from Alejandro, and got menus. Walking back over to the two she handed out the little menus. "I'll be back in a few to take your orders." She said giving them her best smile.

Aiden pulled Beccalynn along this time, over to one of the small tables across the room. He sat her down and took a seat across from her, managing to steal a glare at his cousin every chance he got. Until, of course, Alejandro had gotten up to walk after Alexis into the kitchen.
He grumbled obscenities under his breath and put down his menu, he knew what the coffee show had to offer anyhow.
Alejandro had followed Alexis into the kitchen, "You want me to cook for you? You seem so busy, I can handle it."
