One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie.
Chapter 26.
"Your chocolate fudge, makes me want to stay even. Your eyes down to your lips, urgh what have you done to me Gela" There was a sensation in my ears, I was halfly awake but I could feel an arm wrapped around me.
My head where hurting, it was more like I wanted to throw up.
I couldn't move cause I could tell if I did the arms where going to move as well, I didn't want to move mostly because I felt save in the arms. The soft voice occupied my perforated eardrumps, that I would keen to get it cleaned just to get more of it.
My heart skipped to how this touch was familiar. The mirage caused by the touch, made me believe mirrored things. Nevertheless my head was blunt, the bed where soft, the touch rummage my skin recklessly but it felt soft as the paw was warm.
The adrenaline that gushed out from me was rare, haven't the headache been enough now I had goosebumps.
Being still my eyes opened carefully. "Alex?" I shivered. He had his arms wrapped around me. My eyes gazed at my surrounding and figured I was in Alex's room, I have been here before. Why was I here?
My head hurts and the only memory I had was taking a seep of an apple juice.
Raising my gaze to Alex's, he was about unwrapping himself from me till I held him still, it was not needed to peer at his facial expression but I could tell his surprised.
"You should get some rest" he said.
I spun my body around just to face him. My body feeling so defenseless, so weak around him. I wondered why I was here, did we spent the night together.
Oh no.
I wondered if his lips had tasted mine without my knowledge, I wouldn't loose my virginity to a night I couldn't remember. I could tell his tired but his dark brows, the deep set brown eyes, the long straight nose, the full lips and his beautiful framed brown hair still looked good.
Why was he so quiet and haven't left the bed as I am this close to him, why was he staring at me with those eyes and haven't said a thing yet.
His a jerk, remember.
That wasn't it, why his he so deep like cave.
His lips didn't care to utter a word, my eyes where straight at his as the pad of my fingers slowly traced his collarbones, my heart skipped at the warmth of his skin, at the softness of it.
He just looks at me.
The way he looked at me felt like heat sliding cross my skin, it was balmy, perceptive and enticing. He looked so appealing so bewitching. There was mouth-watering hot curl in my stomach at the acceptance and desire I saw in his brown eyes.
Oh Lord.
There was so many reaction and passion raging inside me and it all concentrated on his lips. His muscles tensed up as i stood up and kneeled on the bed, he watched all my movements. His warm paw had held me still, I moved my thumbs to the long line of his nape, rubbing the stable on his jaw.
He tried resisting to my touch but possessively banded his paw on my waistline, his fingers graving closely, clinging and overprotective as he dugged me closer to him.
I wheezed.
His creamy skin where more now than the first time we kissed. His hands stroked my skin a few times, I shivered. Our mouths where inching to touch each, his hands thoughtlessly caress my skin on my lower back.
I dragged my lips from the distanced we kept to his jaw lines,inhaling long and deep.
He moaned.
While still caressing my back, I grabbed his arm stretching it forward to his jaw lines as i moved slowly to his face. His hands left my back, sailing up my arms, tenderly hitching both side of my neck. He said "Gela, you where drunk" his voice where soft, smooth and does he ever know when he calls me Gela my heart always skips. The way his lips form and how mesmerizing they look to pronounce Gela, it turns me on.
Looking at him straight in the eyes, I had gone mad. "No, I wasn't" Ignoring his comment I leaned forward until my lips were almost touching the side of his mouth. I let out a breath.
My stomach whirled not because of Alex's touch but because, something unusual was about to happen.
I shifted from Alex as I untangled myself, he had a surprised face. My mouths weren't able to explain as I ran out from the bed into the toilet that was a little bit far from the bed.
When entering I closed the door behind me, ran to the water closet and spewed, only I know how trowing up discussed me. I made noise when doing that Alex had asked. "Everything okay?" I yelled a yes.
I head up to the sink and washed my face a little.
Everything became clear to me now. I couldn't remember what happened or how I got here but it was definitely clear I was drunk, that explains why I have much headache.
"Gela?" I heard
Oh no.
Did I just try to seduce Alex?
This is bad. Really bad. The tension I felt was high, it would be so embarrassing walking out from here.
I rumbled around, contemplating on what to do now. I couldn't tell the time but I was definitely sure it was late.
Isa.
I remembered trying to look for Isabella in the party, the crowd where much and the stage lights where all on me. My head still hurts.
Did I ever find Isabella? I couldn't tell.
Realizing I was in a robe.
What happened last night?
I decided to leave the toilet, it would be more embarrassing if I stayed there. Moreover I was taking long in there.
What should happen if I see Alex, would i pretend I didn't try to seduce him or, to be sincere there is no or.
I walked out and there was no sign of Alex, I tried checking around the room, his balcony and there was no still sign of him.
Coming back from his balcony I saw pain killers left on the side table with a glass of water together with an outfit laying on the bed. No I meant outfit's
Why didn't I see that before.
Did he drop it for me.
Now I feel really guilty.
***
After changing into one of the outfits, I wondered why there where so many. Isabella would have loved dresses like this because she can be able to match them up but I can't.
Walking through the walls to the sitting room, I remembered Alex's father. He doesn't like me.
If there was any other way to thank Alex for the pain killers and without approaching him physically I would do that.
Reaching the sitting room, no one was here. The house is big in a way it could accommodate someone with nobody's knowledge.
I could feel a smug at my leg, it was really hairy so I decided to spun around, below I saw that cute puppy of last time.
I leaned down a bit to play with her a little before leaving, when done I tried leaving but the puppy stops me all the time.
"Angela!?"
I raised my gaze to who had called and it was Kate. I smiled.
She walked up to me and stopped the puppy dog from following me around.
"Leaving so soon?" She asked with the widest smile, she could see my facial expression was left confused till she added. "Your mom isn't waiting for you this time, join me for lunch" she said slightly.
Lunch? How did I sleep.
She gestured for me to follow her. It was really surprising how she can be so sweet but it still didn't add up.
We reached the kitchen, that was big like a hall for a conference meeting. The counters where huge and the lights where really rare.
Kate had been holding the puppy as she drops her on one of the counters. She decided to prepare lunch so I joined her. If she wanted me to join her for lunch at least I could help with preparing it.
I asked. "Kate, you said my mom isn't waiting for me. What did you mean?" She looked at me and smiled a little before passing the desert into the oven.
"Dear, Alexander had carried you home last night in your drunken state but your mom wasn't around" she said and passed me the plates to set the table. I did. "He had to bring you here, he didn't have any Choice"
I clenched my jaw.
Everything adds up, I believe my mom went on a date with Reid. That's not her fault, but what surprised me was Alex's behavior. He would never do that.
Maybe he could, he gave my mom a job at Enova's. I wondered what he had suffered carrying me around. Anyway how did I get drunk, I just had an apple drink.
"Sorry for the dresses, he doesn't have any taste" she said.
I raised my gaze to her. Her smile was wide. "Thank you for the dress" I replied.
She laughed slightly. "I didn't leave this house by 2am just to go to a mall to get you a dress after you had thrown up on the old one, it's all Alexander." She said.
My eyes widened. Throw up.
Can I be spared from this embarrassment.
I asked. "Did you get me changed up?" I waited to hear an answer different from what I was thinking.
She raised her gape to me and said."Alex can be so many things but not a pervert, I did" she smiled genuinely.
After setting the plates I helped her with the food as we placed them on the table. We sat and ate slowly.
"Angela, I never got the chance to apologise for my husband's behavior" she said. I nodded a no.
"You don't have to apologise" I said weakly.
"Am sorry he just have the same problem as Alex's or Alex have the same as him." She said. I got interested now. "They both address their feelings in a rough way" she clarified
That's not new.
Alex had left me all alone in a club I didn't know about, he had also stole my first kiss and think is nothing, what about when he helped me from the floor in the office and called me a brat on the next, when he called me clumsy and let's not forget all the time he said he doesn't want to have a conversation with me.
Yeah they really have rough way to express their feelings, but am sure Alex's problem isn't feeling's cause he clearly doesn't have one for me. The memories of when he tells me to leave a party when his clearly doing the opposite is really annoying.
If he doesn't care why does he gets angry at that.
I gulped and gave her a reassuring face that is totally fine.
Still eating she served dessert, while eating the desert she said. "Gelatinous!" She yelled.
I turned my head sharply and she was talking to the puppy. I laughed slightly. She had ran to Kate's direction.
Who gives a dog Gelatinous.
"Her name is Gelatinous?" I asked.
Kate raised her head and she could see how I laugh about it.
"Don't laugh towards it, Alex had named her after his sister's favourite Jelly" she said and feeds the puppy.
Gelatinous.
Does that sound familiar, Gela and Gelatinous. He didn't just name a dog Gelatinous but also call me Gela. I knew he had a sister I had seen the family picture the first time I entered this house, presicely she isn't around but why would he call me Gela after a Jelly.
I raised my brows.
"Terrific" I mumbled.
