I could feel Alex glaring at my outfit for the nth time as I was fixing myself in front of the mirror. He made me change my clothes five times because he said it looked like I was going out on a date instead of hanging out with friends. I finished putting on my clothes and turned to face Alex."How about this one? It's literally just a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers. You happy with this one now?" I asked, already getting annoyed with Alex.Leon and I planned to meet at the coffee shop at nine in the morning, but it was already nine-thirty. I had to call and explain to Leon that I'm not ditching him and lied about having some emergency at work. Alex walked over to the rack of long sleeve tops before pulling out an ugly brown flannel shirt and handing it over to me. I don't even know why I still have that shirt."Wear this." He demanded."Uh, no. Do you not see how ugly that color is?" I asked, making a disgusted face."Exactly. Wear it." He said, pushing the flannel towards me."No.
Alex sat beside me as I cry into his shoulder. I felt taken advantage of and disrespected. I wasn't expecting Leon to kiss me so suddenly. Alex caresses my head as he tried to calm me down. I finally lifted my head as my sobs turn into sniffles. Alex grabbed a glass of water and handed it over to me. I took the glass from him and drank a few sips. I put the glass down and Alex wiped my face off with some tissue, quite aggressively, may I add. I felt like a child whose mother is cleaning their face. He then took another tissue and brought it up to my nose. He pressed on nostril close and instructed me to blow my nose so I did. He then pressed the other one close and ordered me to do it again. He folded the tissue before taking another one and wiped my nose clean. "Thanks, it's not like I can't do that myself," I mumbled. "Shut up, I'm not yet done." He said before cleaning my face again, with a washcloth this time. "Did you have to do it so roughly?" I asked, suddenly feeling ann
Alex carefully ties my necktie as he rants about how he should go with me and "protect me from those asshole paparazzi". I had to tell him no multiple times, but he wouldn't back down. "What if they get too close this time, huh?" Alex asked, clearly frustrated. "They won't be. I'll be in the office the whole day and no one else is allowed in the meeting room other than me, my secretary, board members, and investors. I'll be fine." I tried reassuring him. "But what if they insult you and call you names? I can't let you handle that alone." Alex said as he tidies up my necktie. That is exactly why I didn't want to bring him with me. These people made a living by insulting and degrading other people. I can take it by myself, but I won't let Alex face anything like that. "Alex, you need to stop worrying. I can handle myself." I said, but Alex clearly wasn't satisfied. He opened his mouth to talk, but I interrupted him as he was about to speak. Luckily, it worked as Alex kissed m
Alex's POVThe calls I make to Levi push through, but no one is answering. I was starting to get worried. I called again and Levi finally answered. I let out a sigh of relief as I brought the phone up to my ear."Levi, I've been calling you all day," I said."Sir Alex? This is Melanie, from Arville Hospital. Are you Mr. Levi's partner?" Melanie asked.My heart suddenly dropped from my chest. "Y-yes. I'm his boyfriend. May I ask why you're calling?" I replied.My hands start to shake as I anticipate the answer coming from the other line. "Your partner was in an accident. He's currently in the operating room right now. He came in a pretty critical condition so I suggest you come to see him as soon as possible." Melania said.Deafening silence suddenly filled the room. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I could hear Melanie calling my name on the other side of the line, but I couldn't respond. I finally snapped out of it and told Melanie that I'll be on my way. I ordered a cab, not
It's been a week since Levi's accident and now he's cleared to go home. Levi still doesn't remember me in any way even though I tried making him remember. I could tell he was uncomfortable with my presence but tolerated it. I know he was suspicious of me but he was trying to trust me. He also got his things back so I'm hoping that maybe there's something in his phone that would help him remember.I would show him mine, but it's filled with pictures of his face and I don't think that will help my case. I carefully aided Levi in getting in the car, making sure that his cast is resting comfortably. Levi muttered a thank you as I close the door. I folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk before entering the driver's side."Are you comfortable?" I asked Levi."Yeah, I'm good. Thanks." He replied.The ride home was awkward and the silence wasn't helping so I turned up the radio. I tried coming up with small talk but Levi would only reply with a hum or a nod. I sighed in defeat. I guess
It's been a few days since Alex left, and as much as hate to admit it, I kind of miss him. Mr. Simmons has also been bugging me with the finalization of the selling of my company. It didn't matter to him that I just came from a fucking car accident and couldn't walk. My secretary walked me through all the damages that the company suffered over the past few months and honestly, it was better to start over despite the protests of others. I decided to just get it over with and signed the papers and complete the transfer, not wanting to deal with Simmons anymore. The money was quickly transferred into my account after the signing and I was informed by my secretary that Simmons made drastic changes in the company. After that, my secretary resigned. News of the selling spread fast and got positive feedback from the people. I was deemed irresponsible and too immature to run a business that big. Who knew selling that company would take more than I bargained for? Leon knocked on the door be
Alex's POV "Lory, hurry the fuck up!" I shouted at my sister who was taking her sweet ass time getting ready for her appointment. "I'm just looking for my shoes!" She shouted back at me. "You said the same thing ten fucking hours ago!" I shouted, annoyed at how slow she was moving. "Look, I'm meeting your boyfriend today too you know. I can't look like some shriveled doll thrown at the side of the road." She said, pointing her finger at me. I sighed in annoyance before dropping myself on the couch with a loud groan. After what felt like another ten years, my sister was finally done getting ready. We walked out of the apartment and exited the building as we wait for the cab to arrive. "Are you excited to see him again?" My sister asked me. "Of course. He said he remembered some bits about us so maybe if I go there he'll remember more." I replied. "You kind of sound desperate." My sister teased. "Haha, so funny," I said while rolling my eyes. The cab finally arrived and we bot
Levi's POV"Can you tell me everything?" I asked."About what?" He replied."About our relationship. I want to know." I said.Alex didn't hesitate as he agreed to tell me everything."I guess I should start from the very beginning." He said with a light chuckle. "I, uhm, I've actually seen you a couple of times before approaching you.""Really? Where?" I asked."At a cafe, near your office. I've wanted to approach you a couple of times but you were either in a rush or you look like you'd split someone in half when they would get in your way." He replied. As much as I would like to get offended by that statement, I couldn't help but chuckle. It was something that I couldn't deny. Handling the company and dealing with my piece of shit of a father was just not the perfect formula for a good mood. Speaking of my father."I'm curious, my dad has never contacted me since I got into an accident. It's not that I'm wishing for him to do so or anything. It's just that apparently I'm selling t
