Alec returned with a glass of water and handed it to her "here, drink enough"
"Thank you, you're such a perfect gently man" she smiled at him as she took the water.
Alec cleared his throat "P-perfect gentle man?"
"Yes, or aren't you?"
"Hehe.." he laughed a little awkwardly and gave her a look.
She drank the water in the glass and kept it on the table "woah! I feel good.. and a little hungry"
"I told you about eating right?" Alec rolled his eyes "but what did you chose instead?"
"A better food!" She smirked and Alec gaped at her in speechlessness "I would like to eat now, but we haven't consummated our marriage yet"
"You know I think it's enough for tonight Fair, you need to sleep"
"No I won't! or are you hungry now, okay I'll behave, so we could eat first" she reasoned
"Yes I am very hungry... but not for food" he eyed her with a predatory gleam in his hazel eyes, his gaze squinted at her through his fringed lashes and she subconsciously pulled the duvet over her body.
"You are really funny, now you know to hide?" He sounded amused
"I didn't.. hide"
"You just did, no?"
"Hmph..!"
"Hehehe, sleep Fair, you don't have to be afraid I don't bite and I won't touch you" he assured her.
"What?! No! I'm not afraid of you!" She flung the duvet away and got up hastily "why won't you touch me?" but just as her feet touched the ground, she felt a wave of dizziness hit her and she furiously resisted, blinking her eyes repeatedly.
She sat back down on the bed and rubbed her eyes "A..Alec what.. have you done.. to me?" indignation flashed in her eyes as she furiously glared at him.
"That water was drugged?"
"Took you long to figure out though" he smirked at her.
"You.. are.. n..n" she struggled to speak as consciousness was almost leaving her and he slowly pushed her back down on the bed "don't fight it Fair, just sleep. You are so stubborn, so I had to resort to that"
Raquel finally surrendered as her eyelids hugged each other in helplessness and she drifted off to an unwilling sleep.
Alec tucked her in and heaved a sigh, what was this girl doing to him? And she was just a freaking nineteen year old kid! Even Vera didn't make him feel this way, his mood turned a little sour as he thought about Vera Grendel, his dead ex and first love.
He had been previously here with her for a day before she went back saying she needs to get her clothes and some other needed things as they agreed to spend three months at his private house before she travels out to visit her mother Asian mother because she wouldn't be back for long.
She asked him to wait for her here, promising to be back the next day but he had told her to change her wardrobe instead of packing the ones she already had and handed her a card to shop with.
Vera who already had whatever type of cloth one could think of, nevertheless, accepted the kind gesture with a smile and thanked him.
She bought literally bought almost everything in the store and paid to get it delivered all the way to his house before she left to have lunch with her dad before coming back to him.
Unfortunately, he had been waiting for forever since then because met her demise on the way back as a result of a fatal accident, involving gangsters being chased, they had recklessly collided with her car and hit it off the road.
A bullet hit her as well as they were under fire but they were all caught and brought to book. It's been eight years now.
He had lessened his visits to his private house since then because it kind of reminded him of her and he thought it would also be the same this time around but he suddenly realized that since he had been here with Raquel, this was the first time he was thinking about her.
Raquel made him forget about her so effortlessly all this time.
Not wanting to sink into the pain of the past he moved into the bathroom, he wasn't sure a cold shower would be able to quench the hotness Raquel had ignited in him though but he was going to have it anyway.
Taking one last glance at her, a smile involuntarily tugged at the corners of his lips as he shut the bathroom door.
