All Chapters of The Idea Of You: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"I want to go home," Annie said, sitting down in Alexander's office chair. Alexander looks up from his computer screen which had previously been captivating his attention. As Alexander studied Annie's still bruised face that still punched his heart. He couldn't help but feel that he had failed her. He had let Annie go free, only for her to immediately been captured again once again. Alexander knew that he seemed weaker to his rivals, but his relationship with Annie was now going to be used against him. Xavier was dead now, that should reassure him, but it didn't and Annie's brusied and broken body was not helping ease him at all. "You can't." Alexander leaned forward. "You just can't Annie." "Why?" Annie asked, "Are you holding me prisoner again?" Annie felt trapped. Once again she was to be locked away with Alexander, he might be nicer than Xavier but she was tired of being held prisoner by other people. She couldn't stand to be controlled. She at least needed the normality of her

The next morning Annie and Rebecca took their time getting ready together. They took the time together to relish in their old routine, something they would never have the time for before. Rebecca had taken the day off work, not to spend time with Annie, although it was at least partly for her best friend. Instead Rebecca had plans for her day. After her talk with Annie the previous night, she had finally come to a decision about Cindy. She was finally going to confess her feelings. Part of her still feared that Cindy wouldn't feel the same way, but that was a reality she was prepared for. "Don't you have work soon?" Annie asked as she lesurely put her suger in her coffee. Rebecca shook her head. "I'm actually going to talk to Cindy today," Rebecca confessed, she sounded nervous as her feet tangled anxiously together. Rebecca was a stong independant woman that was not affraid of rejection. She did fear putting herself out there though. She had always been very vocial about injustice

Annie had left Alexander's office feeling utterly mortified. She couldn't believe she was about to confess her feelings for him in front of someone ese. Annie and Kaylee had been introduced but they hadn't spent any time together yet. Annie had just been too busy and Kaylee had been avoiding Annie so far. It wasn't long before there was a knock on Annie's door. "Come in!" Annie called. The door slowly slided open, revealing Kaylee who had an apologetic smile on her face. "Hi," Kaylee said, sheepishly looking down at the ground. This was her first time having a one on one conversation with Annie, it was taking all of her willpower to control her blazing anger, Kaylee hadn't gotten very far with her plan so far, so she had to try a new tactic which meant talking to Annie herself. Kaylee knew she would have to get used to this, the feelings of frustration and irritation if her new plan would work. "Oh, hi, Kaylee right?" Annie asked, it had been over a week since they had been introdu

The next morning Annie woke up back in her own bed, she smiled at the thoughts of the night before. She felt so much for Alexander and she was glad to see some development between the two. As she sat in her bed, comforted by her blankets, she thought back to that first night she had met Alexander. He had been such a sweet boy. Everything between them had felt so natural, just as it had last night. She always thought that should be how love is, innocently natural. For years she had set such high standards for her potential partners, it had caused her a lot of pain and even more arguments. Now she wondered if she had been wrong. She wondered if the perfect relationship she was looking for was just someone who she could easily laugh with and spend endless hours talking to without ever getting bored. That first night she spent with Alexander had been the best night of her life. That Alexander had been the one to capture her heart and now she could see glimpses of him in the chaos of his c

For the next week Annie barely saw Alexander. He left her notes, and she knew he had been eating the food she always left for him. It seemed they were back to their old pattern. Annie hated it, she was at her wits end. That night they spent together talking for hours on the sofa felt so far away now that Annie had began to believe once again that none of it was real. Annie knew Alexander was a business man with bad habits, but she had thought they would see each other more. She thought that they had been heading towards a relationship, they hadn't even spoken in a week. Annie had tried, she stayed up sometimes, but he had headed straight to the kitchen, ate and left once again. The weird call still hunted her, she had yet to tell Alexander since he hadn't been around. She couldn't even ask him questions. Today Annie decided she would not worry about Alexander or their situation that she was trapped in. Instead she arranged a girls day with all her friends. Since the boys were busy it
