I sat in the shower as the water flowed from my head down to the rest of my body. I just sat there and stared at the wall. I couldn't get over the embarrassment of what happened earlier. I heard him knocking at my door earlier, but I just decided to ignore it. I couldn't face him after what happened. It's best if I just terminate the agreement as soon as I can.

The water soon started to get cold so I finally stood up and turned off the shower. I stepped out and dried myself off with a towel, wrapping it around my waist before going back to my room. I decided on just wearing some boxers and a large shirt before getting myself in bed. I tossed and turned, not being able to sleep. I let out a sigh and stared at the ceiling before finally closing my eyes.

Thoughts keep on running in my head. What does Alex think of me now? We didn't even talk about signing an NDA and he could easily use this against me. I don't know how I would approach him after this.

    "You were saying," I said, clearing my throat."Uhm, Mr. Leroy wants to meet with you today. He's here right now actually." Liana says.I let out a sigh and motioned for her to let him in. That man is such a pain in the fucking ass. He keeps on insisting to allow him to buy shares, but I won't let him. I don't want his kind of men to be involved with my company. Alex gave me a look as if asking if I was okay and I just responded with a smile. Mr. Leroy soon came in and I could see Alex freeze from behind him."Good morning, Mr. Leroy. What is it that you want today?" I asked, ready for this conversation to be over."No need to be rude, Levi. I'm just here to buy shares." He said with a smug look on his face.I don't know why I put up with this man. "You already know my answer. No." I said with a firm tone.Leroy sighed and shook his head. "What harm will it bring you to let me buy your shares?" He said as he looks around my office.He turned around and his eyes landed on Alex. A smug

    The photo from the paparazzi spread quickly. Luckily most of it did not show Alex's face. People didn't mind that I had a relationship, they minded that I was with a man. I think Alex's feeling guilty about all of this or anxious. I didn't mind being blasted by the media every now and then, it's Alex I'm worried about. A few of my investors pulled out as well after the pictures spread, but I could not care less. "I'm sorry. I should've just met you inside the building. This wouldn't have happened." Alex apologized as we sit on the couch."I keep telling you Alex, it's fine. As long as your face was not shown, it's fine." I replied, quickly realizing that I could've worded it better. "I mean, it would be better if our relationship was kept private. People will disturb the fuck out of your private life once they knew who you are.""Thanks. You really don't need to care this much about me. I'm just your escort." He replied."Are we not friends? At the very least? Three months is still a

    We're currently in the theatre room, watching a horror movie because Alex insisted on it. Despite wanting to watch a horror movie, he's currently under our shared blanket with his head buried in my chest and his arms around my waist. A loud scream erupted from the speakers, making Alex tighten his hold on me. I couldn't help but laugh at him."You kept on insisting to watch this movie, yet you're hidden under the blankets." I teased."It has a good storyline!" He replied under the blankets. I rolled my eyes at his response. Alex stayed under the blankets for the duration of the movie. He was awfully quiet so I checked under the blanket and saw that he had fallen asleep. He looked absolutely peaceful while sleeping. His lips were slightly parted and half of his face is basically mushed on my chest. I brought my finger up to his lips, running my thumb across his bottom lip.His eyelids start to twitch so I pulled my hand away as he woke up from his sleep. He lifted his head as he woke

    Low and behold, my father barged into my house again to yell at me. Alex wanted to fight and push him off, but I held him back. The sooner he lets all his anger out, the sooner he'll leave. Alex is looking at me with worry as I stood in front of my father berating me. Alex took my hand in his, making me smile. It made me feel better than if I have someone who understands me."I never knew you would stoop so low as to hire a fucking prostitute to piss me off." My father spat on my face."He's not a fucking prostitute." I defended Alex, pushing him behind me. "He's my boyfriend and what he does for a living is none of your fucking business! And you know what? I'm genuinely fucking tired of you running into my home only to yell at me. For fuck's sake, I never do anything right in your eyes! Everything I do is fucking wrong. You go out of your goddamn way to pick on the things that I do wrong! I'm so fucking tired of you. Get the fuck out!" I screamed at his face.I finally had enough. I

    "I want to sell my company," I uttered.Alex looked at me in shock. "Why?" He asked."I'm tired," I replied."But, didn't you work hard on it? I mean, it must've taken you like a decade to achieve this much. Why give up now?" He asked."I never did it for myself. I want to do something for myself at least once and I'm tired of all the bullshit that comes with running the business. Everyone's sticking their nose where they're not supposed to." I said."If you're going to sell it now, I don't think you can sell it for as much as it's worth, given what people found out about us," Alex said."I don't care anymore. I have more than enough in my bank account until retirement. I could sell it for a million and I'll still live." I replied.Alex's face twisted in disgust and annoyance. "You sound like an absolute prick." He spat before attempting to get up. I quickly grabbed his arm and pushed him back down on the bed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that. I'm sorry." I apologized.Al

    On the way home, Alex spotted an ice cream shop. Alex insisted on stopping by, but I was anxious about people. The news about Alex being an escort just came out and everybody's eyes are on us. People are waiting for our next move like hawks eyeing their prey. As much as I tried to convince Alex that we could just buy and leave, he wouldn't budge. He wanted to stay in the shop and eat inside. There weren't many people at the beach earlier so I wasn't worried about that, but the ice cream shop was packed with individuals of different ages. Alex wouldn't stop begging and bugging me so I had no choice, but to just go with his wishes. I parked the car and contemplated for a moment if it really is safe for us to go out in public. "I don't think we should go out. There are too many people. What if they recognize us?" I asked Alex, trying to convince him for the last time to not go. "It's fine Levi. We're going to be fine. I'll keep you safe, I promise." He said while taking my hand in his.

    We haven't even reached home yet and the pictures that were taken earlier were rapidly spread online. My phone has been blowing up from my secretary's multiple attempts at calling me. I would answer if Alex didn't grab my phone and put it in his pocket. He finally had enough of the constant ringing and took my phone out of his pocket. I thought he would hand them back to me, but instead, he turned them off before putting them back in his pocket.I wanted to grab my phone from him, but he was driving so I was left with no choice, but to sit and wallow in my thoughts. I stared out of the window the rest of the way home in an attempt to clear my head, but thousands of thoughts and worries keep popping up in my head. We've barely recovered from when the first picture came out and now there's another one for people to feast on.Alex tried to keep talking about his childhood in an attempt to keep my head off of the pictures, but it wasn't working. I don't know how he's handling this better

    "I'll get it," Alex announced as soon as the doorbell rang.I tried to stop him and get to the door myself, just in case it is my father, but Alex insisted. "So how long has it been since you two started dating?" Leon asked as he picks up the glass from the table."Not long. We just recently started dating." I replied."Where did you two meet?" He asked."At the hotel, I was staying at, after George died," I replied with a sad smile."I'm sorry about his death, I know how much he means to you." He said as he reached forward to touch my hand."Yeah, thank you. Alex really helped me through. I feel better with him here." I said.Alex suddenly cleared his throat and Leon quickly pulled his hand away. I look over at him and see him carrying a bouquet of white roses. "Who's this for?" I asked."For you, of course. I ordered it before I left to look for you. I wanted to buy you something that could cheer you up." He said as he hands me the bouquet. I took the flowers gently from his gras

    Having Alex pack everything that we were bringing to our new home was a whole lot more efficient than us doing it together, but that also meant me having to let go of about seventy percent of my own belongings because according to him, I don't need multiple pieces of the same thing when in fact, I do. I tried arguing with him, but he said it wouldn't fit inside the house so we had to compromise with me only having two of the same things. 'We can wash it,' he said. Yeah, we can, but the quality will not last long. Now I'm banished into the backyard with the dogs because I wouldn't stop annoying Alex with the packing. He has somehow reduced a good chunk of the house into one moving truckload. All in three days. Alex came to the garden to ask to double-check if there is still anything that I wish to bring."You're going to say no anyway. You're going to be like,' that won't fit in the new house', 'you already have ten of those, just take one', and 'I've hated that thing ever since I lai

    We finished the paperwork with the buying of the property rather quickly. As much as I wanted to pay for everything myself, Alex just won't let back down so we halved it. We decided to stay at home for at least a week first to pack everything. We had also taken the measurements inside the house so we could buy the furniture that we needed.I wanted to just buy everything online so we could spend more time packing our stuff, but Alex insisted on buying them at a physical store so I just followed. We're currently inside a furniture shop and I'm already overwhelmed. There were tons of options and we're just in the living room section. On the other hand, Alex looks enthusiastic as fuck. "What do you think about this one, baby? Should we get it in a leather finish or a fabric finish?" he asked, sitting down on one of the couches."Leather, I guess. With all the fur the dogs will produce, leather would be easier to clean as long they won't destroy them," I replied."Yep, that's a good idea

    Alex spent the past few hours upon returning home setting up the backyard for the dogs. He somehow managed to build two doghouses in one day and placed a bunch of obstacle courses around the backyard. Saying that he was excited about these new dogs was an understatement. Alex bundles up all the boxes and packaging before throwing them away. He came back inside the house with his clothes completely soaked in sweat. He wanted to show the dogs right away but there were dead asleep in the living room. Alex took off his shirt and wiped off the sweat on his forehead with it. He threw his soaked shirt at me, making me gag in disgust. "That's fucking disgusting, Alex!" I shouted at him as I throw back his shirt. "We're covered in cum and sweat every time we have sex, but you're disgusted with a sweat-soaked shirt?" he said as he was slowly walking towards me, wet shirt in hand. "What are you doing?" I asked, slowly stepping away. "Nothing," he said with an innocent smile on his face. He

    It's been a few months and my leg cast has been removed and after weeks of persistence, Alex finally agreed to move me back to my old room. Lory went back to her apartment the same day she caught us having sex. It's not our fault she didn't know how to knock, but I do miss her barging into my room and annoying Alex. It was now just the two of us and I haven't had any more flashbacks about our relationship before the accident.Alex was a bit disappointed at first, but we became closer each day and he no longer sulked about the fact that I haven't remembered anything more from our past. He's currently massaging my leg as per the therapist's instructions. I need a few more sessions and hopefully, I'll be able to regain normal function from my leg. "Do you want to have sex after this?" Alex suddenly blurted out.I looked at him in shock before grabbing a pillow and slamming it onto his face. Unfortunately, he caught the pillow before it reached his face. I pouted at him as he put the pil

    "Did you get to ask the hospital if I can have the session here?" I asked Alex as he sat down on the dining chair."Yeah, they said they could send one of their therapists here, but they said once it's time for your leg to get the therapy you'd have to do it at the hospital." He replied. "You know Alex was supposed to be a nurse," Lory said before taking a spoonful of food into her mouth. "Thank god he didn't finish. There are enough assholes in the medical field, we don't need another one." She teased.Alex reached out to Lory and smacked her forehead. I gasped in shock as the sound reverberated throughout the room."Ow! That hurt, asshole!" Lory exclaimed in pain."That was too hard, Alex," I said, slapping his arm lightly. "Hey, she'll be fine. That was just a little smack." Alex defended."That was not a 'little' smack, Alex. That was just mean," I replied."I hit her worse when we were younger. She'll be fine. I promise," He said, placing a hand over his chest."See! This is w

    Alex and I are back in his room, making out for I don't know how long already. I don't even remember how we got here. All I know is that I'm enjoying it. The doorbell rang once again and Alex start to pull away. I groaned in annoyance as I pull him back towards me."I have to get the door, Levi," He mumbled against my lips.I sighed and let him go. Alex gave me a soft peck on the lips, making me pout at him. He smiled at me and my god, that smile of his is contagious. "You act as if I'll be gone for days," He teased as he got off the bed."Come back quickly," I called out as he walked out the door. He only stuck his tongue out at me like a child and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I soon heard bickering from outside my door and I immediately knew that it was Lory who came. She opened the door with a wide smile on her face with Alex carrying an annoyed look on his face."Hi! I'm here again," she exclaimed. "It looks like I interrupted something so I'm just going to go to my room,

    Leon came back the same night to pack up his bag. I went to apologize to him since I didn't want to end the day with him on bad terms, but he just shrugged and said that it was fine and that he understands. He left the house with not so much as a goodbye or a wave back. Lory also went home for the night to pack up their things and she decided that she'll just go back here tomorrow, leaving me and Alex alone. Alex is currently fixing the room Leon left, changing the sheets, and cleaning up the trash that was left around. I waited by the door, watching him like a creep as he moves around the room. He told me to go rest up in my room after we had dinner, but I didn't want to be left alone so followed him here. "Do you need anything? Like sheets? Extra pillows?" I asked. "No, I've already got all I need here. Do you need anything?" He asked. "No," I replied. "Yeah, you do. You wouldn't be waiting by the door like a creep if you didn't need anything." He teased. "I just didn't want

    Levi's POV"Can you tell me everything?" I asked."About what?" He replied."About our relationship. I want to know." I said.Alex didn't hesitate as he agreed to tell me everything."I guess I should start from the very beginning." He said with a light chuckle. "I, uhm, I've actually seen you a couple of times before approaching you.""Really? Where?" I asked."At a cafe, near your office. I've wanted to approach you a couple of times but you were either in a rush or you look like you'd split someone in half when they would get in your way." He replied. As much as I would like to get offended by that statement, I couldn't help but chuckle. It was something that I couldn't deny. Handling the company and dealing with my piece of shit of a father was just not the perfect formula for a good mood. Speaking of my father."I'm curious, my dad has never contacted me since I got into an accident. It's not that I'm wishing for him to do so or anything. It's just that apparently I'm selling t

    Alex's POV "Lory, hurry the fuck up!" I shouted at my sister who was taking her sweet ass time getting ready for her appointment. "I'm just looking for my shoes!" She shouted back at me. "You said the same thing ten fucking hours ago!" I shouted, annoyed at how slow she was moving. "Look, I'm meeting your boyfriend today too you know. I can't look like some shriveled doll thrown at the side of the road." She said, pointing her finger at me. I sighed in annoyance before dropping myself on the couch with a loud groan. After what felt like another ten years, my sister was finally done getting ready. We walked out of the apartment and exited the building as we wait for the cab to arrive. "Are you excited to see him again?" My sister asked me. "Of course. He said he remembered some bits about us so maybe if I go there he'll remember more." I replied. "You kind of sound desperate." My sister teased. "Haha, so funny," I said while rolling my eyes. The cab finally arrived and we bot
