Chapter 10
1992 Words
The door of Alexander’s penthouse opens and at the same time a newly showered Alexander comes into view.
Whoah! My silent remark when I see him on his jogger and plain shirt.
“Hi.”
“Hi.” I chirp as I respond.
“Come on in.”
“Uh- thanks.” Somewhat cracking my voice because of the way he stares at me. It's as if he wants to devour me.
He pulls my luggages inside, too. Reezo has gone after handing the luggages to Alexander.
I secretly take a quick glance at him. "Damn! He's effin hot" I thought.
His fresh scent is so calming. He’s far from the jerk he once was. He was conceited when we had met in the club. I even thought of him as condescending, but who would have thought, my impression of him might be changed.
Quickly, averting my gaze so he won't think I'm checking him out.
“Uhm--“ I am about to ask him where to put my things, but he caught me off-guard. “Alexander!”
He is pinning me with his body to the wall, near the door while my hands are on his chest.
He leans in and kisses me hard. I smell his breath. It’s a mixture of a cool mint and sweets.
His kiss gets rough, but surprisingly I like it. His tongue invades my mouth while I feel his hand clutch my waist closer and tighter. No air could pass between us the way our bodies entangle with each other.
Oh, gosh! What’s that?
Panic builds inside me when I feel something below gets hard.
“f**k!” He utters
Our lips part, yet he doesn't step back.
His forehead is on mine, and his hot breath is schorching on my nose. Both of us are panting. I don’t know the reason for his. But I know mine has something to do with the kiss and his hard private part poking on my belly.
“Uhm- can you- step back?” I ask, stuttering.
I should work on with my emotions. Prolly, I look fluster right now.
“I told you to get used to my kiss, princess. And you need to get used to kiss me, too.” He says while giving me a sly smile.
Oh God! What have I gotten into?
His grip on my waist gets tight. And his hard is pretty obvious down there.
“Yeah. You’re right. I should. But can you let me go now?”
“Nope.”
“What? Are we just going to stay like this forever?” My eyes widen as I ask.
“Hahaha! Why do you always amuse me, moya printsesa?”
“Whatever!”
One day I will ask him why he keeps calling me different names that I honestly do not know about. Moya Milaya? Moya Printsesa?
Well, I know Printsesa, it’s pretty obvious, but what’s Moya and Milaya??
He carries me to the sofa. Can’t even complain 'cause being clingy is part of the contract.
“Are you tired?”
“No.”
“Hungry?”
“No.”
“Bored?”
“No.”
“Okay. Let’s watch a movie.”
“Are you not going to tell me where I should put my things first or my room atleast?”
“Later.”
We end up watching movies. Anyway, when I say we’re sitting, that’s true. But me on his lap since he doesn’t want to let go.
“What do you want to watch?” He asks, but his stare is making me difficult to think.
“Anything.”
“Anything.” He imitates my word and type something on the remote. ANYTHING.
“What? Did you really search for that?”
“You said you want to watch Anything.” He smirks.
Ugh! That smirk again! One day I'm gonna wipe that smirk off his face.
“Are you playing dumb on me??”
“Hahaha! Maybe. But better watch your word, moya printsesa. I may punish you.”
“Tsss...”
“What movie do you prefer?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t watched any movies these past years. I’ve been working two jobs. And watching movies is not part of the plan.”
“Wait, deadass?"
I nod but he asks. "You sure you watch no movies?? Even on your phone?”
“Nah!”
He sighs. “Alright. Lemme choose then.”
The movie has finally started. But not even on the latter part that I finally get hooked. I almost forgot I am sitting on his lap. Until I sense him staring at me.
“Hey. The movie is not on my face.” I told him.
“Yeah. I know.”
Ugh! Screw the movie! We’re now staring at each other because I feel bewitched by him.
“You know what you have signed up for, right?” He asks, but his eyes never leave mine.
“I know.”
What is in you Alexander? I mentally ask as I keep on staring at him, too. Until, he finally gives up and heaves a sigh.
“Cassidy, I want you to know more about me. That’s the main reason I asked you to live with me. My family, most especially my grandfather, knows me very well. I don’t want him to feel betrayed if he finds out I am just lying to him. He is ill and me lying to him would only make his condition worse. The doctors had already told us that it's just a matter of months that he'd be gone. Grandpa already accepted it would happen but he has one condition for me and that's to bring him my girlfriend before he dies. Not just a girlfriend, but a woman I am in love with. I can’t just hire someone to pretend as my girlfriend. He has his men watching me. They report to him. So if I bring you to him, I want him to believe that we are indeed in love. He will ask you million of questions, and I don’t want you to slip up. He is not easy to fool with. That is why, starting now, I want you to be comfortable with me. Act just like the normal couples do. You can also voice out your thoughts. You have a say in this relationship, Cassidy. I just don’t want my grandpa--“
“Hey. Listen- I understand you, Alexander. I really do. I get your point now and I will help you. You helped me with my mom’s operation and until now you’re still helping us even it’s not already included in the contract. I promise I will do my best to make this relationship look real in front of everyone. I promise.” I sincerely told him.
His words were like an eye opening for me to know a different side of him. I now get him. I know now how much he loves his grandfather. He is willing to sacrifice his happiness to make his grandfather happy before his last breath. We are not far different. We both have something in common. My mother and his grandfather. I hold his other hand and look at him with a smile.
“You’re really something. Don’t you know that?” A smile appears on his lips.
“No, I don’t. Something is kind of big word for me. So will you elaborate?” I ask, trying to have a normal conversation this time.
“Hahaha! Let’s just say. That’s a good factor about you.”
“Cool. As long as that’s good, then I’m good.” Can’t help but to smile at him once more and he does the same.
Until, he connected his lips to mine.
“... get used to my kiss, princess.” I remember what he told me.
Precipitiously, my hands wrap around his neck. By my move, he also wraps his two hands around my waist as we continue on kissing.
Glad that he stops soon enough, otherwise I may betray myself for giving him more than what I should give..
“We need to put your things in the room.”
I nod and just go with the flow. I follow him to wherever he goes.
“This is your wardrobe and mine is over there.”
“Okay. Uhm, where’s the bathroom? Is it also hidden?”
“No.”
Alexander tours me inside the house. I’m glad the bathroom has no secret door. I just could not imagine if there’s a power outage in the building or if I experience a low bowel movement.
We walk to another door from the wardrobe area and a master’s bedroom appears
Wow! I'm so astonished at the sight infront of me. This is huge!
“Wait, are we sharing one bedroom??” Dumbfounded at the realization.
“Yes.” He simply answered like it's not a big deal.
“What?? But I thought-“
“What’s the use of us staying in one house if we don’t share one bedroom, moya milaya? Besides, what if they come here unannounced and see us sleeping in separate beds? Do you think they won’t be suspicious? My family knows me well, moya printsesa so we need to make them believe.”
I stay silent. Ugh! I just promised to help him.
“Are you afraid of me?
Am I?
“No.”
The corner of his lips twitches. “Good.”
We continue to the kitchen, to the living area and to his mini bar.
My thoughts could only utter a pure wonderment.
Well, all this are perks of being a billionaire.
“I’ll tour you to another area tomorrow. But for now, let’s get to bed. We will have a long day tomorrow.”
“Will we go somewhere tomorrow?”
“We’ll go on shopping for some dresses and things you may need here.”
“What? But I have my own clothes.”
“Yes, yet you don’t have something for the special occasions or events.”
“Fine.”
“Alright. Let’s get to bed then.” He says as he abruptly carries me.
OMG!
“Alexander, what are you doing?”
“You may have not noticed the time, but it’s time to lie on the bed,.”
“Please put me down. I can walk.”
“I know but I can carry you.”
Soon my back meets the bed. He smirks, and the way he looks at me is the same way he looked at me in the club. Possessive.
He immediately removes his shirt. He chuckles when he sees me covering my face while getting off the bed.
“Where are you going?” His half-naked body is right in front of me. Blocking me from going anywhere.
“Do you expect me to sleep wearing these clothes? Please, I need to get changed.”
He's about to respond but his phone rings. He has no choice but to let go. He takes a few steps away to grab his phone from the side table.
I breathe a sigh of relief when he finally leaves. That's also my cue to go my now wardrobe area.
God! How long can I endure this?
The day I met Alexander was also the day I started talking with myself mentally.
Maybe one of these days I would be going crazy! And this is all because of him!
I have finally changed into my PJs so I walk back to the bedroom. But he's not around.
I quickly hop into the bed. I choose the left side of it and put some pillows in between me and him.
A few minutes have passed, but he’s still not coming back. Until I am slowly dozing off.
Before all my senses are knocking me out, I feel a heavy thing climb onto the bed.
