Chapter 12 - ALL THAT THE HEART DESIRES

lin had shut down. She was clammy and there was the glisten of a cold sweat."shh you don't have worry anymore, I guess you will feel much safer in my room." i whispered rolling a strand of her hair with my fingertips.

"Don't look so sad." I poked on Alex's nose holding her close, brushing away the strand of gold hair away from her face. "How about a movie?" I asked, hoping to cheer her up. I stand up to take my laptop when she eagerly grabbed on my hand pushing me back on the bed.

Playing a movie, as she wraps her arms around my waist, burying her head in my chest. "Are you alright?"  I asked in the middle of the movie, looking down upon her face seeing her half asleep, her eyes opened at my question barely replying, comforting her position and tightening her grip over my waist and slips off to sleep.

I slowly move her hand and get myself out of the bed. It was almost 8.00am, and was running late to work. I rush in for a quick shower. Halfway done with showering, when Alex called out to check if I was still around.

"Arthur, come out now." Screaming, as she makes her way towards the bathroom.

"Just a second Alex, I'm almost done." Wrapping a towel around my waist , as I walked out of the bathroom.

"You could have at least taken your shirt along with you!" Closing her eyes, as she takes a step backwards.

Making my way closer to her, as I hold on to her hands "I could have as well not taken my towel."

peeking through her slightly opened eyes, trying to hold back her smile when she bursts out laughing. Surprised as I checked over my body to spot anything funny or unusual.

"What's so funny about me being almost bare." Asking curiously, as I stare at her fresh looking face. The innocence that lingered around, I couldn't take my eyes off her beautiful curved lines of her smile. Raising an eyebrow, expecting to get a response.

"Nothing, you forgot to wash off the shampoo off your hair." Chuckles loudly, grabbing my wrist, pulling over to a mirror.

"Alex, you are in for it." I laugh while I pull her by the waist, and throw her on the bed. Continuous loud chuckles and laughter echoed the room as I tickled her all over.

"You are running late for work." Pulling a tongue out at me, as she held on to my hands, trying to stop me from tickling. I quickly get off the bed, wash off the remaining shampoo of my head  as I dressed up and jerk out of the room.

I was already in the car, almost reaching the office, when a thought hit me hard. I had seen her giggle after quite long, she was almost stressed out on daily basis. How could I leave her alone? I could as well not attend work. I was the boss after all.

Drawing a wide smile on my face, directing the chauffeur to head back home. "Samantha, call off all the meetings I have for today, I'll email you the orders on what to do next."

"Sure sir, anything else?"

"Thank you, that's all for today." I hang up the call, shoving my phone in my pocket and walking towards the entrance, when a sudden decision of getting Alex a gift got me all excited.

I rushed up, urging Alex to dress up. "But where are we going to? You had left for work yeah?" Curiously repeating the same question, when I held her by the shoulders, placing a finger on her lips to get her silent.

"Alex, just do as I say, and yeah wear something elegant." I whisper, as I place a kiss on her cheek. "I'm waiting for you downstairs, be ready within 2 minutes."

She walked down the stairways looking beautiful than ever. Her Amazonian figure sat well on her wafer thin body. She wore an elegant red backless dress, with studded earrings and a red diamond choker. Her eyes set fire every time she broke into a smile, her beguiling, oyster-white teeth lit up the hallway.

Her T strapped heels made breathtaking click sounds every time she took a step forward. Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at me over her puffy, heart shaped lips. Filed to perfection, her Venus-red fingernails ran through her gold yellow hair.

"wow!" words escaped my lips upon her mesmerizing scent that spread along. I move closer taking in every heavenly delight that lingered around her.

"I've never seen a goddess like you before."  whispering, as I nuzzle my nose on her neck, sniffing every inch of her bare skin placing soft kisses. She was just irresistible.

"shall we?" spreading her elbow towards me as I took in along with mine. "sure Sexy." with a clear smirk on my face.

"Where are we going to?" raising an eyebrow as she looks at me curiously.

"Tie this around your eyes." handing over a red velvet scarf.

"But why?"

"Just do as I say."
