#Chapter370
/"Are you okay?/" Alexi turns his head, pausing on his phone mid-conversation to look at me, pulling my eyes to him. Concern etched lightly on that smooth tanned face.
/"Hungover and in need of a nap./" I lie faultlessly, impulsively, hiding the real reasons behind my shakes. Internally crapping myself for something most girls spend their life dreaming of. Alexi’s expression softens and he smiles a tad.
/"We won’t stay long, and we can have lunch at the suite after, if you prefer that to going out?/" He cocks his head to the side with a studious scan of my face. I can tell he’s doubting the truth in my words; he has an inkling I’m not being completely honest, and I turn back to the window to stop him dissecting me. Finding pain in the gentle look he is giving me, and it only makes my thoughts riot all over again.
If he gets a whiff of my desire to run, who knows how that will go. He would come after me.
