After a few more minutes of staying in Alexandra’s previous bedroom, Lucien had decided that was enough for him and walked out, although he didn’t have any intention of dropping the journal he had found. He took it with him and gave it a special spot in his room, hung up in one of his bookshelves.The moment he was done awarding the book its new special spot, he’s phone began to ring. He glanced at the clock on his nightstand to perceive how late it had become before glancing at the device that was laying face down. It was currently after one in the midnight and he wondered who could be calling.His first thoughts as he approached the device on his bed was to cancel the call, whomever it may be from, that was until he actually spotted the caller and sighed in frustration.Harrison. It just so happened to be the one person who he couldn’t reject their call no matter how much of a pest in his life they were.Swiping the answer button across his screen, the redhead pressed the phone to h
It was meant to be a harmless picnic. Alexandra had planned for it her since the announcement of her summer break, and now, the main and last day of her long awaited break, she was ready to enjoy some well quality time with her parents.As she stepped out with her parent on each side of her, their family driver- Marcus, was standing by the side of their designated car, doors open for his employers to step in. However instead of stepping into the back seat, Miguel went for the driver seat and after whispering a few words to Marcus, the driver handed him the car keys, bowed his head and then retreated to his quarters.With a huge smile on his lips, Miguel turned around and shook the car key in front of his daughter and wife, who cheered happily.“Come on, let’s go.” He said and slid behind the wheel, Nova took her position in the passenger seat while Alexandra took her position in the back seat, but not before waving to her grandmother whom had been watching them with a smile on her lip
~Seattle P.D. ~Phones rang, officers answered and several complains were being filed. Some by the assailant , some by the victim. It was another normal day at work for Stefan. He walked pass the ongoing tremor in his front, swaying to the side in time to dodge the arm that was accidentally swung his way.“Hey, behave or else you’d be spending your summer in jail.” He yelled at the couple of bickering idiots who instantly settled down, but that didn’t stop the series of hot glares that travelled between them.The officer who had been in charge of them bowed his head in gratitude while muttering words of thanks. Stefan brushed it off with a smile, a nod and a little wave of his free hand before turning back to continue his journey in his previous direction.He kept a bright smile on his lips which highlighted his doe brown eyes as he walked pass many other officers of different rank in a prideful stance. Or at least that is what some of them would have called it. Contrary to their jeal
The sound of furious keyboard key clicking drowned out any sound source of sound in Alexandra’s office. She sat behind her desk, neatly dressed with her full attention focused on the project she was currently working on.Two weeks had gone by in the blink of an eye. Two whole weeks since she announced her all out war to Eleanor. The elderly woman had not done anything so far. Her engagement with Darius had been canceled as per her request, but other than that, Eleanor had been errily still sith her plans. Seeing everything going according to the way she wanted it was putting Alexandra in high spiritThe focused blonde reached beside her computer and grabbed the cup of coffee stationed there. She took a sip from it, noticed how cold it had become and placed it down. Only did she peel her attention away from her computer when Michael walked into her office. He walked towards her and placed down another cup of coffee.“Ms. Grey here is your coffee and the data analysis on the upcoming su
“One cup of iced decaf.” Alexandra said as she placed her card on the counter, sliding it towards the waitress. The female collected it and slotted it into her machine, deducting the needed amount before giving it back to her with a receipt.“One cup of iced decaf coming up.” The waitress bent to the side, trying to see around Alexandra as she asked. “And what about you Sir?”“Coffee.” The voice behind her responded and just like her usual days, Alexandra had herself looking behind at the familiar voice with confusion etched in her eyes.She huffed out a breath upon seeing Darius standing behind her. “What a coincident.”“Indeed.” Darius concurred as he stepped forward and placed his card on the counter, waiting until his bill had been deducted and his card given back to him until he turned to face the blonde.It was the first time she was seeing him in two weeks. She studied his outfit-a plain black body tight shirt, a red flannel underneath black leather jacket and a pair of causal
Alexandra did not share one, two but three of her Mochi snack. She just couldn’t get used to seeing the look on Darius face each time he stuffed a different piece in his mouth. After the third piece, they had both slurped down their beverage without even realizing it.Even she had lost track of time while sipping on her decaf and watching Darius’s expressions. He was an advanced version of her television with never ending channel choice. Some channels annoy you while the others intrigued and interest you.“Did you enjoy eating my snacks that much?” She asked with a tilt of her head right after Darius had popped the last piece of Mochi into his mouth.He chewed on it and sincerely nodded. “They were delicious. I’ll admit, I never expected you to have peculiar taste when it came to food.”Alexandra scoffed. “That’s rich coming from someone like you.” She leaned forward on her hands and questioned. “And what knowledge might you posses in the culinary department?”“Quite much if you care
Pin drop.Despite what he had thought before uttering those words, Darius instantly regretted it. It was the first time in twelve years that he had said it out loud. And the last time hadn’t ended so good, he had zero expectation for this time.Or so he thought, but the moment Alexandra chuckle and nodded her head, it felt like a tight thread had been unknotted from around his chest. He could suddenly breath so much better. And instead of staring at him obstructively, Alexandra simply turned her gaze towards the view outside once again without uttering a single word.Out of everyone he had ever met, she… Alexandra Grey was an exemption. She was weird.“That’s weird, you’re not going to try and call the mental asylum hotline?” Darius teased, but some part of his voice held what were his true feelings.Alexandra chuckled once again, and with a smile on her lips, she turned to face him. “All that just for someone’s dreams. I’m not a dream killer you know.”“Yeah, but you are weird.”“Tha
“Michael, head on out without me and send everyone home on an early leave, they’ve done well so far on the summer line up.” Alexandra said into her car’s speaker, Michael on the other line.“Are you sure Ms. Grey?” He inquired followed by the sound of shuffling. Alexandra chuckled; even though he sounded reluctant she could clearly make out the sound of him already packing to leave. She couldn’t blame him. When the sound on the other line had quieted down, Michael added. “I’m aware that they’ve done phenomenal on the summer line up but do you really want to give them time to slack off?”“They’re not slacking off, Michael. They’ve strived so far to make sure I don’t find one fault in this season’s theme the best I can do is give them some time to relax, well that and increasing their pay, but we all know the latter isn’t happening so send them all home early. I’ll stop by the company to grab my phone’s charger and you better make sure you’re all gone by the time I reach there.”“Sure t
