The Moosehead Tavern [1]

I smiled. "Well then." I focused back on my drink. "You look like you're 18." I said grinning.

Jace doesn't like the look in his friend's eyes, pulling Rayah even closer but letting them continue talking.

"I get that sometimes." Mitch says.

"People think I look younger, like I'm fifteen. But they say I act like I'm twenty." I smiled. "It confuses me. They always underestimate me just because I'm the daughter of Aphrodite, but in the end I always kick their ass." I said laughing.

Mitch laughs with her, leaving Jace questioning what he might be doing.

"Rayah, I left something upstairs." He lies. "Would you mind helping me find it?"

Spoiler

He just wants to talk

I nodded and walked upstairs with him and he closed the door behind me, looking at me. "What?" I asked.

"Does he make you feel uncomfortable?" He asks her in a whisper.

"What do you mean?" I asked crossing my arms.

"The way he's looking at you..."

I shrugged. "I don't know really...I don't think he's looking at me...that way..." I looked away.

Jace cups her chin and makes her look at him.

"He's flirting."

"What? He doesn't like me, he just met me." I said looking at him.

"I know him." Jace says. "I've seen him crash and burn with girls and he's trying to succeed with you."

"Jace, He knows about us though." I said. "Right?"

"I hope so." Jace says. 'I mean, i introduced you as my girlfriend."

"He's not flirting...well I don't think he is." I looked away again and sat on the bed. "Why would he anyway? He barely knows me."
