Spend your free time the way you like, not the way you think you're supposed to. Susan Cain
Chapter 13.
It was noon and very hot In here, not hot because of the weather but having to watch two muscular men glare mysteriously at each other.
"I didn't ask, is an order!" Alex said, watching every single move of Kayden's.
Kayden on the other hand didn't mind about Alex's glare or his terrible attitude towards him. He moved forward to stand straight up to Alex, Alex doesn't move an inch.
"When do you give orders around here, Cousin?" Kayden clarifies, raking his brows up and down.
Alex smirked on Kayden's statement.
To be quite honest, i almost forgot I was in the room. Kayden is Alex's cousin?
I bit my lips for a while, this was too much. They are both cousins, they hate themselves and Alex giving orders.
Okay. Alex giving orders might not be a shock.
"You should check your status, before raising your brows." Alex ended up saying.
Kayden smirks and finally took to my notice, he checked from me to Alex and finally said "Okay" he sarcastically said.
Alex smirked and Kayden annoyingly added. "You always win anyway." He said
Suddenly my concentration left the very mysterious cousins and to my phone, it was a text i just received from Isabella asking me where I was.
I did a quick check on Alex, he was busy talking to a random guy and It looks like Kayden had disappeared. I walked to the side of the room just to get a little privacy so I can be able to talk to Isabella. I checked around and still there where people randomly walking, I looked to my left and right and I saw a door that looks normal, it wasn't like the other ones that people walk in.
Without thinking twice i walked up to the door and twist it a little and it opened. Walking in, it was a small office looking really tattered and dusty, it choked me for a while and I used my hands In cupping my nose...
I checked the room out and quickly realized I didn't have rime for that, i came here to have a conversation with Isabella. I dialed her line severally and still no answer, I almost thought for a while she was ignoring me or perha-
"And who might you be?" A familiar yet intruding voice snapped me from my thoughts.
I turned my gaze just to see Kayden standing at the doorway, his face expression I couldn't read.
I raised my brows In confusion and brought it down quickly cause I realized we haven't really introduced ourselves.
"Angela Sud" I said and tried to make it possible to read his expression but he didn't make any, then I added. "Nice to meet" I walked up to him, raising my hands to shake his just to keep a good impression. "You" I concluded.
"Are you one of Alex's strumpets?" he said with irritation but still keeping his voice cool.
"Excuse me?" I asked confused at his words.
"Should I rephrase?" He asked and his expression and voice filled with irritation.
He fully enters the room I am in and walks in my circles, he finally stopped at the desk in the room and plays with the dust then said "Alex is a fucking bastard, he doesn't care about his Conquest" he stopped just to turn his gaze to me and i was staring back. He added "He has everything but still" he paused and moved close to me and opened up and said "Foolish."
What!
I have so many things to think about, than hearing this unbelievable things, i know Alex might not be the best but hearing his enemy speaks like this of him am not surprised. Kayden doesn't like Alex and am ninety nine percent sure his just saying this to pour out his range for Alex.
I didn't say a word or give any face expression. I just blinked and watched Kayden stare at me till I finally said. "I should take my leave"
I walked till I reached the door way, I didn't want to look back to Kayden but he still added "Watch your back" he warned.
Deep down someone have told me something bad about Alex before. Ethan.
I just want to be speechless about this topic.
Walking through the corridor and back to the main room, i searched around for Alex but he was out of view. I tried asking the receptionist but she didn't seem to notice my presence, she was on a call. I left her sight and moved around for a while then i saw the man from earlier he was talking to a black haired guy, i walked up to their view and he realized and said.
"Hey!" He said and I raised my brows acknowledgement of his greetings.
"Have you seen Alex?" I asked and he looked confused at first then he said.
"I saw him leave earlier, he might be checking on" the man was being interrupted by a known voice.
"Gela?" I turned my gaze backwards and saw Alex.
What, of course who calls me Gela?
"Alex?" I asked with shock.
He came closer dismissing the man from earlier and strangely looking at me.
"Where have you been?" I asked and searched his eyes for a while.
"Where have you been?" He answered, asking me back my question.
I stared at him dumbfounded, not wanting to tell him i was with Kayden, i shrugged off the topic immediately.
"I was in the restroom." I said.
He looked at me with a wide, I didn't want to admire it now cause it was totally not the time, he had some explaining to do.
Why am I here?
Why does his cousin hate him so much?
Does he speak Spanish?
The last isn't important now.
"Do you want to work here?" I asked, that was the least that could blow out from me.
He stared at me, with no face expression and said.
"We should go." He said
I looked at him in disbelief, we should go? Why was I brought here in the first place. Before I could register my thoughts Alex pulled my wrist with his.
"Alex!" I tried fighting back but his hands are so big and strong.
"Can we properly talk" I said.
"About what." He said.
Well I want to talk about so many things with him, but how can I now his walking this fast, as if he heard my thoughts he stopped just to turn around and raised his brows to my direction.
"Are you going to talk?" He said and leaned closer to my height.
I swallowed hard as his eyes locked with mine. Using a side eye to look around, I could see the starings at our direction, some are having a conversation while staring and some are just staring.
My attention went full on Alex and his brows where still raised, his hands where still on my wrist. "Uh-m....why was i brought here?" I asked
He narrowed his eyes and stood straight, his hands still on my wrist as he turned front just to continue walking. "You'll find out soon" He just said, bluntly.
We passed through the halls down to the ground floor and Alex Was still getting gaze from ladies as we managed to pass through that. He dropped me off at the university hours later i managed to walk to my class and Was greeted by Isa, she asked me so many questions that i couldn't really answer and like always i told her 'later'. lectures for the day was over for me but not for Isa...she asked me to wait for an hour, i had to.
Waiting in the cafeteria for Isa's my attention grabbed to a very familiar girl, with a girl by her side that am very sure was Mia, Hunter and Luke on the other side, they where all entering the cafeteria at the same time.
I was left speechless as they all noticed my presence and whispered something to themselves, they walked up to me, seeing there wasn't enough chairs, Hunter and Luke grabbed another chair from a different table.
And they where all sitted.
Charlotte began "Angela, its funny that I heard about your little trips with Alex" she grin mockingly.
I raised my brows at her statement at first but dragged it straight to Mia, she is texting someone and smiling.
"You heard?" I asked her, am not surprised she heard, after hearing Alex say, she isn't my girlfriend, I don't think I owe her any explanation about what and what I don't do.
"Uh- let me plot something, straight into your thick score" she glares at me and added. "Alex doesn't do virgins." She turns her head to the side just to make her point.
What!
Now am left to be confused. Its coming clear now, I checked my phone for Charlotte's text message, that particular message she sent when I was with Alex in his cabin.
I raised the phone just for her to see what she sent me herself, immediately it was being dragged by Hunter and Luke, they both read it out loud.
Unknown: I have had sex with Alex in the cabin so many times and that's where I got Disvirgined by him.
They all started laughing, unstoppable except for Charlotte, I got confused why the laughter.
I stared at Charlotte closely before Luke snapped me out "If you have seen a horse that doesn't run" They still laughed as Luke continued. "I will show you a Charlotte that lost her virginity from Alex" the laughter started fading...lightly.
What!
That means Charlotte lied about that?
"Would you mind your business, you imbecile's" she said standing up and stamping her feet on the floor roughly, and stared at me with annoyed eyes and said "Alex is not for you." She finally said.
To be quite honest, I don't think I want to have this conversation about Alex, i have never argued about a boy before and not
Planning too. I removed my gaze immediately from Charlotte as she walks out of the cafeteria and Mia is at her tale.
I suddenly realized my phone was with Luke and took it from him, it was gently till he made me forcely take it and he said "Chill babe."
"You want your balls cut off, disappear now!" Isa said, coming to my rescue again.
I removed my gaze from Luke and too her, she was totally glaring at both as they left.
"Angie, you waited?" She said.
Was she for real, I seriously waited.
"We should go, I have had a long day" I said and she agrees.
I gazed up at Isa for a while and been wanting to ask her a familiar question "Isa?" I called and she nodded. "You always wanted to tell something?"
She blinked in shock and sighed before saying "I totally forgot now"
I just shrugged it off my mind, I believe if she wanted to tell me desperately before she would never forget it now, but I didn't want to push it.
We both walked out of the cafeteria from the exit door and a guy cut my attention, it was James.
I raised my gaze to Isa as she notices his presence, she blushed for a while then covered it with a frown.
"You want to tell me about James?" I asked smiling widely at Isa.
She noticed and became nervous all of a sudden and she said. "Once you tell me about Alex." She raised her gaze.
I removed my gaze from her not wanting to talk to Isa about it, what would I say...even.
She saw my expression and said.
"We have party tonight, coming?" She asked and answered immediately. "Yes, you are!" She said making me smile.
She didn't let me think about it but its no harm if I just try it out, perhaps I might like to clear my chest a little about Alex and his mysterious life.
"Yes, I am" I said and we both smiled.
***
Applying some makeup and adjusting the dress Isa had chosen for me, it was a usual plane knowing I don't like too much but the red design on the gown was accidentally beautiful.
Was it my eyes that where playing these massive joke With me or is it real that i look awesome tonight.
I think i should meet with an optician...
Yeah it was probably my eyes.
Walked out from my room immediately i was done checking my eyes if I had something in it like an eye full.
Reaching the kitchen, my mom was on the counter, apparently she wasn't doing anything. She took off my notice and sighed heavily.
"What!" She asked.
That question wasn't the right question but having to see my mom suffer all day long... Without a job is really heart breaking. I don't know what to do, how to take care of this situation.
I stepped a little close to her just to console and obviously avoiding her question, she forcefully jumped down immediately and said.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"A Party with Isabella" I replied but still anxious to take care of her.
I stepped closer to her but she turned and went straight to the living room.
Why is she so mad at me.
I followed her immediately, as she sat on one of the couch in the living room, tangling her self as she sits.
Should I go to her?
I Was confused myself and going to her would Make me even more. I don't think she is going to answer to any of my questions, should I say deep down I could feel her pain of not having a job, its really devastating.
I took a long glance at her again before I took off.

"This place Is too loud!" I said, shouting.
"Thats what parties are for" Isa replied.
Isa came to pick me up earlier after I had moved out of my house, she said i shouldn't worry this party is going to make me forget.
I dont think so
This place is like a Lion's den, full of people that are too wild. I don't think i want to spend the rest of my night here.
I should probably tell Isa I dont want to be here anymore, the crowds and alcohol i hate so much are starting to inch.
I took a long glance at Isa, she was enjoying this place and me telling her to take me home will bring down the annoying vibe in her. That wouldn't be good.
"Isa!" I shouted, it was too loud in here.
"What!" she said, and her breath smelled like alcohol.
When did she even drink
"This place is gooood" she said and slipped a little i managed to hold her.
"We should go, your drunk!" I shouted again.
She didn't seem bothered that she was drunk, Isa went out of my hold and started dancing with some strange guy that was obviously hairy.
I dragged Isa out of his hold, she was drunk but I wasn't.
"Isa please don't make it had as it already is" I pleaded with her.
"I should take her home" a familiar voice said.
Still holding Isa I turned to meet James, standing looking at me.
For some reason I trust Isa with James because i think she likes him but does he like her back.
There are a lot of pervert roaming around, I just want to believe James isn't cause I couldn't handle her now.
"Fine" i said, still gazing at him with wide eye.
"Are you coming?" He asked as he carries her Bridal style.
"No, i would take her car" i replied.
He took her out and my eyes searches for Isa's handbag, i found It laying on a table by the side of the house.
I walked slowly to reach it but I get blocked all the time by people walking around. I finally reached the table just for someone else hand to grab it first.
I raise my gaze slowly and I could see a brown haired girl with blue eyes, she wore a sassy flare gown that exposed her breast at the front.
Emma!
She Was examining and bag, then she lifts her gaze to me.
"If this isn't the one and only Angie" she said using puppy dog eyes to mock me. "My little sister's best friend."
I removed my gaze from her and back to the bag.
What is she even doing here?
"Give me the bag Emma" I said, gently don't Want to cause a seen.
I tried reaching it but she backed it up immediately.
"Angie...urgh, it sounds disgusting calling you that" she mimicks Isa's style of calling me Angie.. Then she added "I should call you a nerd."
I looked straight up to her eyes, asking myself what she really wants. Isa do be furious about her but deep down I see jealousy in her eyes anytime she speaks about Isa.
That is it, she is jealous of Isa.
"Calling me a nerd wouldn't change the fact that" I paused trying to read her expressions before adding "that you are desperately jealous of Isa" I said and looked at the bag.
She laughs out seriously and brought attention to our spot, wasn't there music again cause it was completely quite.
"Jealous of Isa" She said still laughing.
If that wasn't Isa's favorite bag I could have left her talking to her self but i need to get that back
I looked for a way in taking it out of her hold till someone annoyingly dragged it and Emma flinch in fear, she wasn't expecting that.
I looked from Emma to the guy who took it, my jaw dropped as he said "I left you for some hours and you can't handle your shits"
Alex
What is he doing here, I was speechless to his compliment as he removed his gaze from me and to Emma who was still in shock, he gave her warning glare.
"You are?" Emma asked
"You should definitely check your self In the mirror" he said bluntly and the crowd where still staring.
He stared back at me, gazing at my outfit. He smirked and grabbed me by my wrist, and we where moving out of the party when I said..
"I was totally handling my shit" I said, looking at the way he held my wrist.
"Sure you where" he said, and I was sure that was sacarsm.
I wasn't even sure if I was supposed to be angry at him or thank him for getting the bag back.
I looked up at him, and a Small smile tugged on my lips as well where completely out.
