The next day, Alexander felt a strange new excitement in his heart when he went to his University. He was looking forward to meeting Serenity after college. Lucas greeted him at their first class, sitting down next to him.
"My dad's impressed with you, dude," said Lucas and Alexander grinned, feeling very happy that someone at least liked him.
"You've got to come home today. Dad wants you to check his old Ford Austin. It was his favourite car," said Lucas.
"Sure," said Alexander, his heart singing with joy at the prospect of meeting Serenity again.
The first few classes were back to back and they didn't get much time to talk. By the time they got their first break, both were famished. "Let's go grab a bite, Alex," said Lucas.
Alexander shook his head, "I'm heading to the library, you go ahead," he said. He didn't have much money left with him to buy the expensive food at the cafeteria. He had only eaten some cereal with water for breakfast in the morning.
Lucas didn't hear a word he uttered. "I can't eat without you, let's go," he said, pulling a reluctant Alexander along with him to the cafeteria.
"Look dude, I can't afford this food. I've already eaten a full breakfast," said Alexander, not really wanting to eat at anyone else's expense. If he didn't have money, he wouldn't eat.
"It's on me, please. I won't let you go hungry. Sometimes you should let your friends care for you, " said Lucas, stubbornly.
"I'm used to skipping meals, really. It's no big deal for me. I have to get an economics book from the library, now," said Alexander.
Lucas didn't hear a word. "You can get your book after we eat," he said. He ordered two personal-sized pizzas and chicken nuggets.
They sat at a table, eating the food. "Where do you stay, Alex?" He asked him and Alexander looked away. He didn't want anyone to know where he lived. He didn't want billionaires visiting his humble, shabby home. The neighbourhood was bad and he would be under scrutiny and be harassed by the local goons if Lucas visited him driving his expensive car.
"In the suburbs of West Vegas. It's a dangerous neighbourhood, don't even think of visiting. The local criminals will rob you or murder you," said Alexander, warning him.
Lucas looked at him with disbelief. "How do you live there, then?" He asked.
"I don't have a choice. My uncle's shack is the only thing I have currently," he told him, munching his pizza. Lucas felt bad for him. He was a brilliant boy and he didn't deserve this life. He would have shone like a diamond if he had better opportunities. They finished their food and went to the library to get the book Alexander wanted. Then the rest of the classes commenced back to back.
At last, college was over for the day and both boys breathed a sigh of relief. "Today was really hectic, " said Lucas and Alexander smiled. Lucas drove his Ford Mustang while Alexander followed him on his motorcycle. He was very excited. He had been waiting all day to see Serenity again.
They reached the mansion just as Liam went out for his soccer practice. He waved at both of them. They parked and sauntered off towards the backside to go into the main building.
As they walked inside laughing at some joke that Lucas cracked, Lucas's mom saw them. "Oh, there you are, Alexander. Have lunch with us first. Then you can check Eric's old Ford Austin. He wouldn't be coming in. He's stuck in a meeting but he has asked you to check his car today. It's his personal favourite, " said Lucas's mom.
"Yes, aunt Eugene. I can start right away and then rush for my garage duty," he said. He felt embarrassed for appearing every day during lunchtime. He didn't want to take advantage and be an unwelcome guest.
"Hush, son. You will eat first and then do other things. Go and wash up now and come back to the table. Lucas, show him the washroom," she said, walking towards the kitchen. "Kathy, start serving them lunch."
"You can go to the one at the back. Go straight and turn left," Lucas said and Alexander nodded and walked off. He found the washroom and washed his hands and splashed cold water to his face, feeling fresh. He walked out of the washroom, towards the dining room when something soft, warm and smelling of roses collided with his chest.
"Oww," said Serenity as she collided with a rock hard body. She was going to the dining room before her mom started yelling for her. Looking up she blushed seeing who it was. Alexander. She had been dreaming of him since yesterday. He was the most gorgeous guy she'd ever seen. "I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going," she said breathlessly, very aware of Alexander's clasp on her arms to steady her. The light touch of his rough hands on her bare arms sent a shot of electric tingle down her body.
He chuckled at her. "I'm not sorry at all, " he said and she blushed more.
Serenity steadied herself and looked up to see him watching her closely, a smile playing on his lips. "I helped Kathy make today's lunch. Hope you like it," she said shyly. The truth was that the moment she returned from school and heard that Alexander was arriving for lunch, she helped Kathy cook the food, eager to please him.
Alexander looked at her incredulously, "Then I must taste it. Did you cook for me?" He asked her, teasing her. His heart was thumping with excitement. He couldn't imagine that he could be so lucky to have this beautiful girl with big innocent eyes, cook for him. The thought aroused him and he felt the urge to kiss her. She looked so inviting and gorgeous up close that he couldn't look away.
"No, I mean. Can we go and eat?" She said, walking off with pink cheeks. Alexander chuckled and followed her to the dining room.
They sat down opposite each other like before and every time their eyes met, she blushed. Alexander loved the food all the more because Serenity made it for him. They hungrily ate the chicken caesar veggie wraps, angel hair pasta with smoked trout and pecan pie.
"This is awesome. You're a very good cook," said Alexander to Serenity and she smiled shyly.
"Thank you," she said.
Lucas laughed, "Don't praise her so much, dude. Now she'll cook all the time and make us eat her experiments," said Lucas, rolling his eyes and their mom chuckled.
"I'll eat her experiments too," said Alexander and Serenity smiled happily. She was already falling for Alexander's charms and she didn't seem to have any control over her heart when she was around him.
They finished eating lunch and Lucas's mom and Lucas took him towards the garage. The car was beautiful and well maintained. "You go ahead and check the problem, Alexander. I have to go. Lucas, there's a box which you need to go and deliver to aunt Amanda now. She has a charity ball tonight and she needs it immediately," she said. Aunt Amanda was the wife of his uncle Ethan who was his dad's older brother. They jointly co-owned the Staywell group of hotels. Their son Tyler was three years older while their daughter Carmella was four years younger than him.
Lucas groaned, "Can't you send someone else, mom?" He protested.
"No one's available now and she needs it immediately," she told Lucas.
"Alex, let's go to my cousin's house," he said, fishing out his keys.
"Let Alexander look into this car. Your dad would be disappointed if he went away without checking. Why don't you hurry Luke?" Said his mom, glaring at him.
"Okay, I'll go, see you tomorrow, Alex," he said and Alexander nodded at him. Lucas followed his mom inside to get the box to be delivered.
Alexander concentrated on the job at hand."Will you come tomorrow again?" Asked Serenity from behind him.
Alexander turned around and looked at her, taking her from head to foot. She looked so gorgeous. He remembered her soft, creamy skin when he had touched her arms. He longed to hold her again. "Do you want me to?" He asked her, taking in her blush.
"Yes," she said, shyly.
"Then I'll come, " he promised, looking at her, hypnotised by her.
"What's your favourite food?" She asked him.
"Everything that you cook for me is my favourite, " he said, loving the colour on her creamy cheeks.
Serenity now was head over heels in love with him. Alexander wanted to know so much about her. "How do you get time to cook? Don't you have school?" He asked as he opened the bonnet to check the car.
"I cook after returning from school," she said, standing beside him and peering in to see what he was doing. Alexander smiled at her cuteness. No one had ever done so much for him and he was overwhelmed by her sweetness.
He found that the battery wasn't charging well and needed replacement. He was getting late for his garage duty. He handed the keys to Serenity, his hand brushing with hers.
"I have to go now. But I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow," he said and she smiled shyly.
"Bye, " she said and he grinned at her, walking back towards his motorcycle. She watched him with a shy smile. He mounted his motorcycle and wore his helmet.
"Bye," he said with a happy grin and sped away intensely aware of her gaze following him out.
Serenity couldn't sleep. The thought of meeting Alexander again the next day had her very excited. She waited impatiently. She had never felt this way before, it was a completely new experience for her.The next day after spending an uneventful time at school, a very happy Serenity returned home to cook for Alexander. Her mom saw her enthusiasm to go into the kitchen and chuckled, "Planning to feed us again today, sweetie?" She asked and Serenity grinned, "Yes, mom," she answered. She went inside the kitchen and cooked with Kathy, excitedly.Alexander reached college the next morning a little late. He was stuck in a roadblock near his home, where an accident had occurred. The class had already started when he entered. He quietly went and sat beside Lucas at the back. Lucas smiled at him, relieved that he came to college. He was the only friend Lucas
"Can I drop you?" Alexander asked and Serenity nodded shyly."I'm just going to the next block. My best friend, Skylar lives there," she informed him. He looked at her with avid interest."Do you both go to school together?" He asked, handing her a spare helmet that he always carried."Yes, we're at Yorkhill High. It’s near dad's office," she informed him and his brain absorbed the extra information instantly. He would be joining uncle Eric's office from Monday, so hopefully, he would see her more frequently. She wore the helmet and climbed onto his motorcycle, straddling behind him. She was acutely aware of him and held on to her seat to avoid falling off."You need to hold onto me," he said and waited for her soft hands to hold onto him. B
The next morning Alexander rode on his motorcycle to Lucas's house. He was eager to see Serenity before he went for his fight. He didn't know whether he would see her again. He parked his vehicle in Lucas's courtyard and went towards the backside of the house. The living room was vacant so he went up to Lucas's room."Hey, Alex, when did you arrive? I was waiting for you. Come, I need to show you something," said an excited Lucas. He jumped out of his chair and dragged Alexander out of his room, leading him out of the main house.They went to a building connected to the main building. It was obvious that this one was newly decorated and furnished. Lucas led him up the stairs to a huge bedroom suite. It was extravagant and luxuriously decorated. "This is my new room. I'm shifting tomorrow. What do you say?" Asked an excited Lucas.
Alexander entered the basement of a huge deserted warehouse in a less crowded area of Las Vegas. Today was the last fight night of the three-day mega-fighting league matches hosted by FX Fight Club. Kyle, the 6 foot 4 inches tall, hefty and towering bouncer manned the entry, checking for tickets and allowing groups of people to be screened for weapons before allowing them entry."Hey, Killer King, ready for your win today?" He asked Alexander. "Killer King" was Alexander's nickname in the circuit. He hated it as much as he hated the club, the circuit, and its members, especially Mike Tyndall."Yes," he said. He didn't speak much to anyone, although everyone wished to know more about their starfighter."Mike's got his hopes on you," he said and Alexander gave him a fake smile.
The next day, Serenity missed Alexander. She only thought of him and spoke of him. Skylar was tired of her already. "Sera, please can you change the topic? You see, I don't have anyone like your Alexander to talk about and I'm getting very green," she said and Serenity grinned."Okay, one last thing. Alexander was staring at my lips. I guess he wanted to kiss me," said Serenity, and Skylar squealed with delight."I would have kissed him already if I were you," said Skylar. Serenity blushed."I can't be like you, Sky. I feel so acutely aware of myself and nervous around him," Serenity confessed."You are whipped already, girl," said Skylar, and Serenity grimaced. The two friends spent the day together while Alexander rested the whole day.
Mr. Rutherford led Lucas and Alexander to their cubicles which were adjacent to each other. They completed the work that he assigned to them on time. They were done for the day and were contemplating on going home when Lucas's dad summoned them.They reached his office and went inside. "What happened to you, Alexander?" Asked Lucas's dad with concern."I fell from my motorcycle, uncle Eric," he said."Be more careful in future," he advised."Yes, I will, uncle Eric, " said Alexander."Lucas, take Alexander to the apartment where I want him to stay. You can help him shift tonight," said his dad."Can I stay with him tonight? Please, dad?" He asked, hop
The warm, soft feel of her mouth against his own stunned Alexander and he stood like a statue, too overwhelmed by the heavenly feeling of her mouth on his. Serenity gently bit his lip and plunged her tongue into his mouth kissing him with abandon. She was tired of his longing looks and decided to take the initiative. Her gentle probing made him groan in pleasure. He came out of his stance and crushed her to himself, dominating the kiss, playing a duel with her tongue.His tongue tasted her hungrily, kissing her wildly, as she clung to him to support her jelly-like legs. It was a passionate kiss, very different from the ones he ever had. Not like the meaningless ones he got on the three se*ual encounters he had before.This was from the soul. It was like an addiction, once you get a taste you want more. He didn't want to stop. In fact, he could
Alexander bit her lower lip asking for permission to plunge his tongue inside her mouth. They forgot everything around them, lost in the warmth of each other's bodies and the hot kiss that they shared. Serenity eagerly opened her mouth to him and he deepened the kiss, exploring her mouth, tasting her thoroughly. Serenity let him dominate for some time and then she kissed him back, dominating the kiss.Alexander was excited at how she was responding to him. He didn't want the kiss to stop. Suddenly Serenity's phone buzzed and she reluctantly left him. He released her as she picked up her phone."Yes, Luke," she breathed into the phone."I was making pasta, tell me," she said, rolling her eyes at him."No, I'll come in fifteen minutes," she informed him and dis
