Alex was playing basketball when the ball got away and flew across the road and was caught by a guy in a suit. The guy turned around and Alex's eyes widened.

"Yours?" He hands the ball over.

Alex nods taking the ball, still staring at the stunned expression on the guy's face.

"You look familiar," the guy frowned and she could see he was trying to figure out, where he knew her from.

She quickly turned and started walking away

"Alex?"

Alex froze.

"You look, different." He continued to gape taking Alex in, the three quarter pants, muscle tank and cap twisted to the back. At first he had taken her for a guy but then his mind linked the image of her from that night to now and he recognised her. He couldn't remember the neck and arm tattoos but the face was definitely hers minus the makeup.

"Uhm do I know you?" She turned back to him with a confused look on her face.

Zane was surprised that she didn't recognise him. He thought for a moment and then decided to be direct and took a step forward, "It's me, Zane from a month ago. You know, the night of the party, when we.....?"

She kept the confused expression, her face turning red." The party......?"

"Wait, you can't be serious. You don't remember me? I mean, I know you were pretty drunk that night, but I'm surprised you don't remember. We...... uh...... spent the night together."

Alex's jaw dropped and her face went pale, then she pretended Áto think for a moment, fiddling with her cap. "Uhm, no."I......I'm sorry, but I......I really don't." Alex stammers. "I think you're getting me confused with someone else." She turns and starts to walk away again, when suddenly he grabbed her arm.

She quickly reacted her martial arts training coming into play and punched him in the stomach.

Her punch caught him off guard, and he stumbled backwards and doubled over. "Oof!" He felt like the wind was knocked out of him and he doubled over.

"Oh my God I'm so sorry I just......" Alex trails off, unsure of what to say."

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He said breathlessly struggling to straighten up holding his belly

She stared at him shocked. "I didn't mean to.......oh my god! Look Zane....whatever your name is. I'm not her. Maybe she's the twin I never knew I had but I'm definitely not her. Ok. Sorry about everything."

Zane finally straightened up still holding his belly, a grimace on his face, staring at her stunned. "But......but you look just like her......You're lying. Why would you do that?"

"I'm not lying! You have to believe me! I don't know who this person is or why you think I'm her, but I swear to you I'm not!" Her voice cracked as she struggled to convince him although she was lying and badly too.

Zane wasn't buying it for a second. He was confused and couldn't believe she was pretending not to remember him. He looked at her and said, "Oh, come on. You know we had a good time. I mean, I remember everything. It was definitely you."

Alex was completely flustered and embarrassed. She looked away, unable to meet his eyes. and sighed, realizing that there was no point in denying it anymore. "Fine, you got me. I'm her. But it was a mistake. We never should have done it."
