Alex
Have I done the wrong thing? I questioned myself for what it seem like the upteenth time as I drove her home with me. She wasn't safe, she would've been dead if I hadn't showed up. That I knew, but I shouldn't have offered to take her home with me. When I was clearly uncomfortable around her.
But now, no going back to my words. She would be hurt and disappointed if I inform her she couldn't come with me. And worse, if she return to that house, she would get killed. And I doubt if she had any penny with her.
Guess I would just have to deal with her living with me. I muttered as I returned my eyes to her.
I studied her profile for a while from my rear view mirror. She was on an oversize grey sweatshirt and baggy torn shots. Clothes any sane lady wouldn't dare to put on. She had her eyes glued at the window,
AlexShe was so different from all the ladies I had come across. She always spoke her mind, and feigned nothing. Unlike most ladies who were good at pretending. She didn't even give a care about the way she dress. And I would've sworn that she could put on a garbage sack, and wouldn't mind.We hopped out of the car and made our way to the house."So, you live here with your family." She inquired as she followed me into the house. Pushing her glasses up which seem to be falling down every second, because of how small and delicate her nose was.Why was she so carefree after the incident that occurred an hour ago? Hell, she was acting like nothing happened back at her apartment."I bought this house." I informed her, and then watch her jaw drop. She blinked
Charles"Now that she's recuperating, she needs proper care and attention. You need to be there always. If she's left alone, I'm afraid this will happen again. So, young man, her life is partially in your hands." Dr Murphy, our family doctor informed me. He has been our family doctor for as long as I can remember."Alright, I've heard you doctor. I'll stick to your advice." I said shaking hands with him, with that, I strolled out of his office and headed straight to her ward. But I refused to go in and let my presence be know because of guilt.Flash back"How could you have been so careless?" I bellowed with fury, glaring so hard at her."I'm so sorry, Charles. I truly am. I was gone for a few minutes to talk to an old friend. Ruby was so engrossed
Bolu"You guys did what?""We had-"Yes!" Jordan squealed, interrupting me from going on with what I had in mind to say."I've not said it yet." I chuckled playing with the spoon inside my ice cream. I was at a bistro, having lunch and gossiping with Jordan over the phone."I know." A pause, I could hear the chattering of pots and pans "You know I'm busy in the kitchen right now." There was another pause. "That's it, done." I heard the slapping of palms together. My heart swelled up with amazement, because Jordan was at home cooking for the family. What a relief. I hummed in satisfaction at this. "So tell me again girl. You and Alex actually did it together, huh?""Yes. I still can't believe we did it, it was all like a dream. Jord."
BoluI walked up to her, then hunkered down to her height, so we were on the same eye level."Hey big girl, you don't know me and you want me to be your mom? How the hell is that even possible?" My eyes widened immediately and I bit on my tongue, when I realized I just cussed in front of a kid.This made her giggle."Cause you're the nicest of all the ladies I've met. They either hit me, or push me away. Calling me all sorts of bad nanes. Like dirty, flirthy and stupid." She wiped away dirt from her face with her palms. "l am not dirty, neither am I stupid. And you're the only lady who haven't told me that."I could feel a huge smile forming on my lips, she was so smart and well spoken. Definitely not a street kid."What's your name?"
MiaIt felt like I was having a hangover, when the screeching of Alex's car tires woke me up that afternoon. I was a light sleeper, even the slightest noise could wake me up.I got up, groaning at the one sided headache I was beginning to have. What the hell? It wasn't like I consumed cans of beer, boxes of pizzas until I got drunk and barfed my guts out. Jesus H. Christ. What the hell!?I slowly got out of bed, cursing whoever the hell that whined my windows glass up, and put the curtains out. Something that made the harsh angry sun, an uninvited visitor, make it's way into my room. It nearly sent me to my feet."Shit!" I hissed through gritted teeth, shielding my eyes away from the sun, and then accidentally staggered into empty cans of beer.
AlexThe door of my office jerked open, and my secretary bursted into my office. Panting."Mr Friedrich?" The habitually calm and cool-headed girl, whisper-yelled my name. "I told her you were meditating, that you weren't seeing anyone now. But she wouldn't listen to me."Calmly, I raised my head up from the giant book I was reading."Anything the matter, Miss Hampson?"She nodded, keeping her clothes in check. "She ordered her body guards to forcefully push me out of the way, and made her way here all by herself." With that, she stepped aside and let the woman make her presence known at the door of my office.It was no other person than Rachel. Dammit.She was looking authoritative and wealthy as usua
MiaI had had enough of him, and I was going to leave his house that moment. I was stupid. Stupid to have agreed to live with him. He had no right to treat me like that. I scoffed when I realized Alex was treating me like an animal, and was treating his dogs like humans.I had no clothes inside the wardrobe, all my clothes were in my bag. All I did was changed into an ill fitting shirt, my grey short, and my flip-flops."Get out of my way!" I yelled pushing Alex's hard chest. But the guy was so strong. He didn't even move an inch, change posture or move stir. He had his arms folded and was standing at the exit. This caused his muscles to stand out in the long sleeve shirt he is putting on.
AlexI turned to face her and saw her hand rested on her chin as she watched at me. I couldn't help but admire the sight.The sight of her on the bed, soft, innocent, was so fucking beautiful that I clenched my jaw hard, fighting the sudden swell of emotions in my chest.I stared down at her lips, they were so full and pink. I knew she would never put on a lipstick, but her lips were perpetually pink like she always wore one. I couldn't help but imagine how it would taste like, how it would feel on mine. And how she would let out a moan.Would it be loud, inaudible, shaky or forced from her throat in helplessness?Darn it! What was wrong with me?How could I welcome such wayward thoughts into my mind? I swallowed hard
