Alyssa nodded hearing him laugh but the sound made the blonde want to cringe. His laugh didn’t sound like that-when he laughed it was magically and soft and it brought a smile to her face no matter what. But he didn’t look right this wasn’t Ryan…but he wasn’t her concern anymore they hadn’t seen each other in five years. “He does” Alyssa nodded with a small smile but it didn’t reach her eyes, right now she was trying to convince herself that was true. It was a relief when he looked away she felt some of the worries leave. Until he spoke again that was and her face fell as she looked at him. “Right- um I will but hey listen we should really catch up it’s been five years.” She told him trying to sound casual as she scribbled her number for him on a napkin then handed it to him. “I’ll see you soon.” She added quickly before rushing out.

Lol sure XD and here is Sabrina
Sabrina was brimming with nerves as she found her way around. The hall was amazingly well decorated between the lighting and intricate decorations and it brought the smallest and shortest smile to the tense young lady. Some faces she thought she could half recognize from being with Sirius at the Estate. But even still the golden haired mortal felt completely alone in the crowded room. Eventually Sabrina brushed passed Carina and tensed not looking at the Ravenwood she wasn’t as friendly with. Carina and her had yet to have it out but Sabrina could feel a yelling match or an argument slowly but surely brewing, it wouldn’t end well. But perhaps it meant Sirius was somewhere nearby. Grey-blue eyes scanned the room an intense focus on her face until she relaxed and smiled-she saw him across the room and headed over trying not to disrupt everyone in her way. A few people grumbled and shot her a few looks for hurrying her way through the crowd. But to be fair they were keeping her from Sirius-which was incredibly rude. Reaching him Sabrina stepped up behind him and lowered her voice whispering in his ear “Hey there stranger, long time no see” she murmured watching his figure for a reaction. There was just something about being near him that sent an electricity pulsing through her. It was inevitable. Magnetic. Just this unexplainable pull she had for him.

Ryan took the number, quickly placing it in his phone. He grabbed his camera, then opened his phone, not to call her, but to talk to a trusted friend, because lord knows he needed some serious advice. A couple of hours later after talking to a bunch of wedding people he met with a new friend at a coffee shop in Midtown. Cory Kinkade was a stunning man. He was photogenic, with an a very masculine and feminine face. He had a sharp jawline, smooth and square, yet his cheeks were slim and sculpted. Overall he was a little bronzy olive toned, and his body long and lean, slender and defined. He could've been a model, yet he stood behind the camera. Those piercing blue eyes knew Ryan inside and out, they had a more sky or ice-like look to them, rather than leaning towards navy; like Ryan's eyes. He dressed fashionably, tweed pants and a white t-shirt with a navy blazer. He looked like he belonged on a runway, but yet again, he captured the runway through the lens of a camera.
The sat in a front table near the windows, watching the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York City. Cory was sitting elegantly, fingers curled around some latte that was fat free and steaming. Ryan looked the opposite of Cory. Tired with jeans and a New York Rangers hoodie. He ran a hand through his dark hair, making it spike. Cory looked over his friend. "Ry, what's going on? Is it that Kennedy man? Is he just awful?" He asked, concern in his voice. Ryan shook his head.
"No, it's his bride-to-be. I know her, she's my ex." He whispered. Cory's dark brows shot up. "Ex, as in, the one that got away." Cory asked, voice lowering. Ryan didn't answer and Cory sighed. "The ex that caused this," His long, nimble fingers snaked out, grabbing onto his friends wrist and turning it over. Scars ran across his wrist, former cuts that now had healed into thin, pale lines of pain. Ryan nodded, swallowing. Cory sighed, letting go of his friend's wrist and leaning back.
"Damnit. And now she's marrying someone else and we have to capture the happy moment." His voice was bitter. He'd never met Alyssa, but he'd heard enough about her, and he sure as hell knew Ryan. "Does Marlee know?" He asked, and Ryan shook his head. "And I'd like to keep it that way." He added. Marlee was the third member of their little trio who worked for Duncan's photo company and was going to work the wedding.
"I'm so sorry, hon." Cory said softly. His lips quirked down in a frown. He wasn't a frowner, but this qualified as a frowning matter. Ryan looked up. "She wants to meet up and catch up." Cory sucked in a heavy breath. "Is that a good idea?" He asked, worry etching the beautiful planes of his face. Ryan shrugged.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna call her and meet up with her." Cory sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Don't get heartbroken again, Pretty Boy." Cory said with a slight finality to the situation. He didn't say anything about it, just gazed skeptically over at Ryan from the lip of his cup as Ryan dialed her number.
"Hey Alyss, do you want to catch up, like tomorrow?" He asked softly, unsure of himself. Cory just shook his head slightly.

Carina was walking about, not really enjoying herself. She knew that at any moment hell would break loose. She glazed at the mortal, as Sabrina brushed past her. She refused to growl at her. She was with her brother; that much was obvious. She'd kept him from being in pain and removed the knife when he'd come to save her and Roman. Speaking of him, where was he? Her thoughts of Sabrina moved away as she searched for the other male.
Sirius stiffened. An old mortal friend; Henry had just moved away when a voice whispered in his ear. He relaxed as the familiar scent of Sabrina washed over him and he didn't turn around yes. "Too long," he purred, turning on his heel. His cloak flared out from his body, the graceful swirl of it giving him such an elegance. He lifted his good hand, gently cupping her face, his thumb brushing her cheek, just under the lip of her mask. He smiled, it was genuine, reaching his emerald-amber eyes. His mask shifted with the movement. "Hello stranger, you look ravishing tonight," he said, voice low and velvety. It was a rumble, almost like a purr, which was odd, since he was technically a wolf xD

Omg I'm sowwie Im done replying
Alyssa was actually with one of her own friends- tasting cake and making the last cut, She would be back with Jason tomorrow to pick one of two final choices but here she sat with Elizabeth, her best friend from college who had recently located to the city. Luckily Lizzie was just as good at keeping things as a high security vault. She didn’t want anything she said to get back to any of the Kennedy’s by mistake. Alyssa was in the middle of checking her phone for messages for the umpteenth time when Lizzie prodded her in the side “Ow! Lizzie god! Have you no respect for personal space?” Alyssa mumbled glaring at her friend but still smiling. “Lyssa, you’ve been lost in your mind since we got here and there is totally god damn amazing chocolate cake sitting in front of your that you’re not eating. That isn’t my best friend when she’s ‘fine’” Lizzie insisted and Alyssa frowned rolling her eyes at the petite gorgeous red head sitting with her. Sighing Alyssa stuck her tasting fork into the delectable chocolate cake and took a small bite, smiling at the taste before remembering why she was upset. Too bad yummy chocolate hazes didn’t last forever. Suddenly the words were spilling from her lips “Imighthavegivenmyexboyfriend whoscarredme forlife mynumber” she said all in one breath-looking her friend in the eyes clearly freaking out. Lizzie opened her mouth to respond when Alyssa’s phone rang and she immediately answered “Hello? Oh Ryan…yeah I’d love to you pick a place and I’ll meet you there.” She smiled before hanging up and she got a reproachful look from lizzie. “What? It’s a meeting between two old friends who want to catch up!”
Sabrina saw the person he’d been speaking with drifting away through the crowd and she felt relieved-no one had heard she slightly non appropriate comment to the Alpha. Hearing Sirius speak Sabrina felt warmth filling her and a smile crossing her face. Watching him turn around and meeting his gorgeous emerald-amber eyes Sabrina felt the completely instinctive urge to just grab him and kiss him. It was taking every rational thought in her to ignore said instinct. Feeling his touch Sabrina froze, it felt like every nerve in her was alight with a fire. Slowly the ability to speak coherently was leaving the stormy eyed mortal girl. Reaching up Sabrina put her hand over his and smiled looking at him intently. Opening her mouth Sabrina meant to say something but was holding her back-the fact that she might have temporarily lost control of speech. Realizing subconsciously she looked like a total idiot Sabrina regained control and replied-trying to retain some dignity by being casual. “Ravishing? Is sexy not good enough for the Alpha?” She asked grinning at him mischievously. “But thank you and would it be inappropriate of me to say that I would love to be making out with you right now.” Sabrina whispered tilting her head close to him. No way was she losing the battle of wills with a half man half wolf.

[ it's okay<3 ]
Ryan sighed softly, taking a deep breath as he hung up the phone. He hadn't felt this nervous in a while. He looked up at Cory and he snorted softly. "You're so love struck." The other man said with a shake of his head. Ryan chuckled and Cory's phone went off. He pulled it out and set down his chai latte, picking it up. "Hello? Oh my god! Chris! How are you, babe?" Then he proceeded to talk and coo, ignoring Ryan's smirk and snicker. "Okay, babe. I'm actually with Ryan right now, oh no, it's fine. He doesn't care. Pfft, he was just talking to an old girlfriend who happens to be getting married in a week." Cory laughed. "Alright, you're right. As usual, yes. Okay, love you. Miss you." And Cory hung up and Ryan chuckled. "And you say I'm love struck," he said, blue eyes glimmering and Cory stuck his tongue out, childish for a moment. Ryan chuckled, leaning across the table. "So where should I take her?" He asked. Cory's eyes just sparkled and he grinned like a mad man.
The next day, around one o'clock Ryan was standing outside of a little café on the Upper East Side. It was an adorable little place. It sold all kinds of cool and special coffees and teas. He was waiting for Alyssa, standing in the warm air. He was wearing a nice black t-shirt, clean and clinging to his muscular body with dark jeans loose around the legs, but tight around his hips, slung low. He'd grown out of the slightly limber and lanky boy frame into a well-muscled, broad-shouldered man. He had just showered, the scent of freshness clinging to his tanned skin. Ryan had to shower, since he had just gone done with hockey. All the exercise from the hockey league had given him a lean frame, toned with pure muscle. He'd been a little late so a five o'clock shadow clung to his cheeks a little, giving him a rough edge. His impossibly blue eyes were a bit anxious as he waited for Alyss.
- -
Sirius grinned, his eyes glistened and he was momentarily stunned by her answer. But only for a second. He smirked, stepping a little closer to her. His other hand curled around her waist. "I'd be lying if I said that wasn't the best thing I'd heard all day." He said with a chuckle. His fingers curled around his chin, gentle and tender, cupping her delicate face. "God, you look so gorgeous." He said, fingers keeping her close.

Lyssa hung up and wasnt exactly sure how to feel, but the reproachful look on Lizzie's face helped her figure it out. This was probably a very bad idea. It was Ryan. And no matter what the situation or circumstance was, things always got very complicated very very quickly. That was just how things had always gone. Feeling the need to explain it Alyssa eventually spoke, " okay so yes this may sound crazy and like a bad idea and all that other terrible terrible crap but it's been five years, Lizzie and we never actually resolved anything. He just left. And I'm getting married in about a week so maybe now is the right time to get over the one guy I never could. Maybe fate is doing me a favor and letting me have a chance to feel ready to move on with my life and marry Jason" all of it was admittedly not just to justify the situation for Lizzie but also for herself, Alyssa truthfully wasnt sure how innocent her motives were because with Ryan....she never knew. All there was was a meeting and Alyssa was terrified it was going to make her feel seventeen again. No engagement, no Oxford, not Lizzie, just the two of them sitting in an old beat up pick up truck talking the night away. Soon it was tomorrow and Alyssa was completely and terribly nervous. Ryan had picked the place it was on the upper east side and she'd never been but hopefully she still trusted him enough to select a restaurant. Jason thought she was out with Lizzie, telling fiancé about meeting ex boyfriend slash possible love of her life was not on Alyssa's list of things to do. Her choice of dress had been strategic. A plaid mini skirt of grey and navy with tights, leather black boots, a crisp white blouse and a black wool coat. Casual but nice enough for going out. But NOT on a date....she was engaged. And then she saw Ryan god damn that boy for always looking so incredibly at active. Well he wasnt exactly boyish looking anymore he was just.....well it wasnt appropriate for her mind to wander but suddenly this didn't feel like old friends catching up. It felt like one of those times they ditched senior year and got coffee before heading back to her house and-oh no. No that wasnt good. Thinking of what sleeping with him had been like was a terrible idea.but it was too late to back out she was right in front of him now. " hey Ryan" she managed a small unsure smile crossing her face as looked at him.

Sabrina knew there was some shock value to her answer....but she hadnt been lying, nor was she typically anything but blunt and direct. But that wasnt just what this was, sure at a basic physical level she wanted him. But it was hardly just that because it felt like there was so much between them. Snapped from this daze she looked up grinning as she felt him move closer and wrap his hands around her. " Im pretty sure it probably was, unless your seeing some other amazing girl who's more attractive and intelligent then me and she told you that earlier" she was mostly kidding but admittedly the stubborn hot headed girl was just a tad insecure. He was the alpha which meant he could have literally anyone. Why bother screwing with the system over her. But this was banish from her thoughts when he spoke again. Sabrina smiledattmepting to remain confident " oh I know, everyone's looking at me tonight. But if it helps your bruised ego it was for you" she told him leaning in and resting her head on his shoulder. Then slowly a mischeviojs look in her stormy gaze Sabrina discreetly put her lips to his neck kissing him lightly before pulling away" do you have boring offical stuff to do or do I get you for myself for a while?" She asked

Ryan felt like he was on his first date. When they'd gone to some fancy place and then ditched the place and the fancy clothes they somehow squeezed themselves into and went to a park for a picnic. They'd made out in the bed of his truck, but they hadn't went too far. They'd had to stop before they reached a point where they both were too horny to stop. The second date was even better, they didn't even attempt the fancy shit. Just cut straight to the hanging out, comfortable. Never at his house, unless his dad was out and wasn't coming back. That story, damn, that had been tough. No one knew why Ryan was who he was then, and he'd trusted Alyss. He wasn't sure if he'd cried or not, he'd probably tried not to, but it was just something so shameful and hard that he wanted to break and curl up into a ball and sob. He had when his dad had beat him especially brutally, he'd fled to the one place he'd felt safe. Alyssa's arms. She'd been the best person in the world. Fixing up the cuts and not pressing for details. However, now, his dad was dead. Alcohol poisoning two years after he left Alyssa. She didn't know that, or at least he didn't think she did.
He shook the thoughts away and looked up to see Alyssa. He should've dropped dead at the spot. She was absolutely stunning. Gorgeous. Perfection. More beautiful than years ago and it took his breath away. He took in a deep breath, trying to stop literally gaping at her in awe. He shoved his hands into his pocket, fingers curling around the one object he knew he shouldn't have brought with him. He knew it was stupid, silly. He wasn't going to show her, or even tell her. The little ring was just a calming, but now it made his heart rate spike. "Hey Alyss," He released he probably should drop the old nickname, but it felt too right. Alyssa was too uptight for her. He liked the way Alyss went with Ryan. It was meant to be, but not now. He tried not to think of it, and he smiled. He shouldn't have done this, Cory was right. He was love struck. He'd never gotten over her. Never been in love again. Yeah, he'd had dates and girls and fuck buddies, but no one came close to Alyss. "Shall we go inside?" He said teasingly, gesturing to the slightly more low-key coffee shop/café.
Sirius reply coming

Sirius rolled his eyes at both comments. He smirked at her, leaning down so his lips were inches from hers. "Why would I fool around with other simple girls when I could have someone as sexy as you?" His voice was a drawl, warmth seeping in from it. His fingers brushed over her neck, to her shoulder. He looked up. No one was paying attention. The either were absorbed in dancing with a friend, a partner, a lover. With the masks, everything was a secret. Dark and mysterious. He smirked. They were two dark lovers, bound with a course of war and fate that at anytime could veer off course. But right now, he shook his head. "No more boring official stuff. Just us." His hand that as on her waist dropped to her hand laced through her fingers, curling soft and warm. His other hand, the one on her shoulder, made its way to her waist. "Shall we dance?" he asked, a smirk lacing across that devastatingly handsome face.
