7 years agoLucas Parker walked into the campus of his new college at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It was the first day of college. None of his friends had opted for Business Administration and Management in his college. He went towards the administrative office to get his details. On the way there he heard a commotion. He looked to see that a crowd had gathered near the backside of one of the campus buildings.Curiosity got the better of him and he trudged over to check out what the matter was. Two boys were fighting like cats and dogs and the crowd was cheering them on."Hey, you two, stop," he said, looking around for a security guard.No one paid any heed to him and continued. Lucas stood indecisively when one of the boys fighting, looked at him and asked, "Who are you supporting? Him or me?" He asked impatiently."No one. I just came here. Look, stop this immediately or I'm going to call the security guar
Lucas drove up to his huge palatial mansion and instructed the guards to allow Alexander inside. He drove through the gigantic gates and parked on the tiled courtyard in front of a sprawling white stone building. A sparkling fountain with a marble statue of Apollo adorned the entrance. The main building and adjacent buildings were nicely interconnected around a large swimming pool.Alexander parked his motorcycle and dismounted. "Are you sure you want me to go inside? I'm not dressed properly, " said Alexander with apprehension."Of course I want you to come in with me. It's okay. It's just home," coaxed Lucas, dragging him inside by his arm.They entered from the backyard door into the main building. His dad, Eric Parker had just arrived home after a conference to have his lunch. He seemed to be discussing something with his mom, Eugene Parker in the living room while their housekeeper Kathy served lunch. They looked up as Lucas entere
The next day, Alexander felt a strange new excitement in his heart when he went to his University. He was looking forward to meeting Serenity after college. Lucas greeted him at their first class, sitting down next to him."My dad's impressed with you, dude," said Lucas and Alexander grinned, feeling very happy that someone at least liked him."You've got to come home today. Dad wants you to check his old Ford Austin. It was his favourite car," said Lucas."Sure," said Alexander, his heart singing with joy at the prospect of meeting Serenity again.The first few classes were back to back and they didn't get much time to talk. By the time they got their first break, both were famished. "Let's go grab a bite, Alex," said Lucas.
Serenity couldn't sleep. The thought of meeting Alexander again the next day had her very excited. She waited impatiently. She had never felt this way before, it was a completely new experience for her.The next day after spending an uneventful time at school, a very happy Serenity returned home to cook for Alexander. Her mom saw her enthusiasm to go into the kitchen and chuckled, "Planning to feed us again today, sweetie?" She asked and Serenity grinned, "Yes, mom," she answered. She went inside the kitchen and cooked with Kathy, excitedly.Alexander reached college the next morning a little late. He was stuck in a roadblock near his home, where an accident had occurred. The class had already started when he entered. He quietly went and sat beside Lucas at the back. Lucas smiled at him, relieved that he came to college. He was the only friend Lucas
"Can I drop you?" Alexander asked and Serenity nodded shyly."I'm just going to the next block. My best friend, Skylar lives there," she informed him. He looked at her with avid interest."Do you both go to school together?" He asked, handing her a spare helmet that he always carried."Yes, we're at Yorkhill High. It’s near dad's office," she informed him and his brain absorbed the extra information instantly. He would be joining uncle Eric's office from Monday, so hopefully, he would see her more frequently. She wore the helmet and climbed onto his motorcycle, straddling behind him. She was acutely aware of him and held on to her seat to avoid falling off."You need to hold onto me," he said and waited for her soft hands to hold onto him. B
The next morning Alexander rode on his motorcycle to Lucas's house. He was eager to see Serenity before he went for his fight. He didn't know whether he would see her again. He parked his vehicle in Lucas's courtyard and went towards the backside of the house. The living room was vacant so he went up to Lucas's room."Hey, Alex, when did you arrive? I was waiting for you. Come, I need to show you something," said an excited Lucas. He jumped out of his chair and dragged Alexander out of his room, leading him out of the main house.They went to a building connected to the main building. It was obvious that this one was newly decorated and furnished. Lucas led him up the stairs to a huge bedroom suite. It was extravagant and luxuriously decorated. "This is my new room. I'm shifting tomorrow. What do you say?" Asked an excited Lucas.
Alexander entered the basement of a huge deserted warehouse in a less crowded area of Las Vegas. Today was the last fight night of the three-day mega-fighting league matches hosted by FX Fight Club. Kyle, the 6 foot 4 inches tall, hefty and towering bouncer manned the entry, checking for tickets and allowing groups of people to be screened for weapons before allowing them entry."Hey, Killer King, ready for your win today?" He asked Alexander. "Killer King" was Alexander's nickname in the circuit. He hated it as much as he hated the club, the circuit, and its members, especially Mike Tyndall."Yes," he said. He didn't speak much to anyone, although everyone wished to know more about their starfighter."Mike's got his hopes on you," he said and Alexander gave him a fake smile.
The next day, Serenity missed Alexander. She only thought of him and spoke of him. Skylar was tired of her already. "Sera, please can you change the topic? You see, I don't have anyone like your Alexander to talk about and I'm getting very green," she said and Serenity grinned."Okay, one last thing. Alexander was staring at my lips. I guess he wanted to kiss me," said Serenity, and Skylar squealed with delight."I would have kissed him already if I were you," said Skylar. Serenity blushed."I can't be like you, Sky. I feel so acutely aware of myself and nervous around him," Serenity confessed."You are whipped already, girl," said Skylar, and Serenity grimaced. The two friends spent the day together while Alexander rested the whole day.
9 Months LaterSerenity devoured the sundae that her heart had been craving to have and grinned happily at Alexander. For the last nine months, she had been having weird food cravings and Alexander had obliged her to the best of his abilities. He had transformed himself and had become a very good cook, putting all of them to shame. Serenity couldn’t have asked for a better life partner and she was glad that she got a chance to see this side of his character.He was very caring always but the way he selflessly cared for his family was something she had never seen anyone do. He took her to every doctor visit and took out time to make her a diet chart to follow every day. Not only their unborn baby, but the way he cared for Adriel and Alexa was also applaudable. Her parents had arrived last month and even they couldn’t help but praise Alexander’s efforts. The tw
Two Years Later"Sera, we're leaving with Alex for our surfing classes," yelled a fifteen-year-old Walter."Pwetty pease, ucl Water, can we goo too pease?" Said two-year-old Alexa, with puppy dog eyes. Walter picked her up in his arms. She looked so tiny compared to his five feet eleven inches in height."Not today princess. Today we have a test," he said and she stared at him with hope."What s a tes ucl Wiill?" Asked Adriel, looking up at William who was of the same height as Walter."It is something to check if you're learning or not," he explained.Alexander came out of their bedroom, dressed up for surfing. He kissed Serenity's forehead, "Take care, Serena. If you need me just call, ok?" He said.
She walked to the reception party in the garden. A huge white tent-like structure was made under which everyone was gathered. The entire area was decorated using natural tones like sandy beige, white and gray complemented by bright purple and lavender. Bouquets and centerpieces were also kept simple and featured white roses, vibrantly deep purple tulips, and lavender sprigs.The 20-foot head table covered in a white cover was lined with real white and neutral sea coral as well as floating candles and lavender ranunculus. The chairs were covered in white with lavender bows tied around them.Her eyes searched for Alexander who was enjoying a drink with her brothers, Lucas, Liam, and Tyler. Mark, uncle Colton, uncle Ethan, and her dad were laughing loudly with their better halves sharing jokes. It was a completely different scene from her last reception part
On the day of the wedding, Alexander was whisked away to Lucas's house by Liam, Walter, and William much to his dissatisfaction. He had imagined watching her getting ready for him!The men were all getting ready at Lucas's house so that the women could get ready in peace at Serenity's house. Aunt Kelly, River, and Carmella helped Serenity get ready. Nancy, Violet, and Valerie's nanny, Mary looked after Valerie, Ryder, and the twins. Last night Mark Orbitz and his family arrived and they were accommodated at Colton Young's house. Serenity met Paige and felt glad that her misunderstandings had been cleared.They would all directly go to the chapel. Alexander had requested a first look and Serenity agreed. River and Carmella fixed her hair into a braided updo, beautifully secured with sequin pins. She wore a 3D lace applique, sleeveless wedding dress w
After breakfast, Alexander received a panic call from Lucas. Violet's water broke and she was in pain. They were rushing her to the hospital. He informed Serenity and asked her to call her parents and rushed out. Serenity called her parents and informed them. They would reach the hospital directly. Serenity couldn't leave her babies and go see Violet. She would have to wait for Alexander to return home. She waited patiently the whole morning for an update.At lunchtime, Walter and William came over to her house to inform her that Violet had given birth to a healthy baby girl. They had all decided to name her Valerie, as it contained the letters V for Violet and L for Lucas. Violet was fine and would be released the next day. Lucas, Liam, Alexander, and their parents were all there with her at the hospital. Their parents would return back to Lucas's house while the three men would take turns to
Nancy came into the nursery with a smile the moment Alexander went out. She helped Serenity to switch the babies.After they were done, Serenity went to Alexander's room to freshen up for dinner. However, to her immense embarrassment, Alexander sat at his desk on his laptop. The moment she walked in, he looked up at her. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely as his piercing gaze swept over her body. “Umm, I’ll just change out of this,” she said awkwardly. Alexander nodded silently, his eyes not leaving hers for even a second. There was a strange electric current in the air around them and the se*ual tension was too much to bear. Serenity picked up her clothes and rushed into the en-suite to change as Alexander’s eyes followed her around. She changed into a navy blue A-line, chiffon, sleeveless dress and walked out into the bedroom. Alexander’s eyes again took h
Alexander carried her all the way and up the stairs much to her embarrassment. "Lex put me down. I can walk, " she said, her cheeks flushed and hot. Did he forget that Nancy was inside somewhere?"No, I want to carry you," he said stubbornly, glancing at her and winking. She rolled her eyes at him but her heart was beating faster and faster with every step that he took. She wondered where he was carrying her to. With his admission came the realization that she had unnecessarily misunderstood him. He had always loved her. If she hadn’t been so stupid, they would have been married by now."Alex, where do I keep Serenity's stuff?" Asked Grant, coming up behind them with Serenity's luggage. She wriggled to get down but Alexander held her tightly, not releasing her at all. Serenity’s cheeks colored profusely.
It was a wild, searing kiss that heated her whole body. His tongue plunged into her parted mouth and he tasted her like a hungry predator, not able to contain himself anymore. His arm left the wall and went around her waist pulling her closer and crushing her against his hard body. His tongue played with hers, making her surrender completely to the intense and wild kiss. His body was already on fire, his kiss was full of passion too and it melted Serenity to the core of her heart. He was all she'd been craving the whole of last year. Now that he was with her, she couldn't help but hold him close. Her fingers tangled in his silky hair as she moaned into his mouth. He kissed and kissed her more till she was completely breathless."Oh, God, I've wanted to do this for so long," he said in between kisses. She couldn't move out of his arms, not that she wanted to. Her knees had turned to liquid. He had tha
"Let them come in, Alex," said his mom. Alexander helped Serenity with the strollers. She came inside and sat in the living room. His mom poured over Alexa and Adriel, cooing at them, making them gurgle with pleasure."Oh, aren't they cute? They must be quite a handful," she said, picking up Alexa in her arms. Alexander took Alexa from her arms and held her to his chest, nervously so as not to hurt her."She's so tiny. What's her name?" He asked, slowly rocking Alexa. She snuggled into his chest and Alexander felt choked with emotions at her behavior. He felt a strange connection to her and he had no idea how."Alexa," said Serenity, her cheeks coloring a little. Would he realize the connection?Alexander looked at her, and at Alexa. He was confus
