Chapter 3

Alexander’s POV

 

This past few months, I have been so caught up with my meetings and work, which made me pissed after visiting my parents last week. It added fuel to my already pissed-off mood again with the topic of my marriage.

 

failedMy fhasly had been talking about this topic for the lyears, years which is making me moreangry, year after year. I don'twhat Iw whawill I get from this marriage—another heartache, another fail marriage. I told them clearly that I am still not ready for another marriage.

 

Marriage, marriage, marriage...

 

"Fuck..." I cursed out loud.

 

Wow,ywow,hrelax, an"Wow wow said. dude," Sam said,"What happened? Having internal battle with yourself?" he asked as he sipped on his drink.

 

"I bet his parents brought up the marriage talk again," Ray said.

 

sigh. I pour myself another drink and let out a deep sigh,"Fuck off both of you," I snarl before downing all my drinks.

 

"Yes, I think that's the reason, Ray," Sam said before chuckling. "What happened, man?" Ray asked.

 

I leaned back on the couch and let out a sigh," I finally agreed on the marriage, and they are coming tomorrow for lunch," I told them.

 

toWhen I told them, Sam spilled out his drinks from his mouth anstaredre at me like hadve grown twheads.d,"What? You finally agreed?" hasked,ed and he put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it. I just stare at him in confusion before turning back on my glass, which is in my hand.

 

does,"Yes, I agreed to get married again with someone whom I don't yet,w yet and I don't care who the fuck is, but I just hope that she doesn't get in my way. If she does I don't know what will happen." I said it sternly and gulped my drink again.

 

Oh,Ssmiledile and said,"I am sure she won'becauseuse no one except knowsnow your hot tem, oh not forgetting about yofamily,ily and I am happy fyou,yman.n," I just shook my head at whatever he said. "Oh and I am coming tomorrow to your place for lunch as well," he added.

 

there;"Why? You don't have anything to do there why would you go there at his marriage meeting?" Ray asked.

 

Well, you know, Ray," he began and clung his arm around my shoulder before continuing,"I am also an important part of Alex’s life, you know, I am his brother."

 

Yeah, right, brother," I said lowly and took a sip of my drink.

 

"Brother?" Ray asked with a raised eyebrow.

 

"Yes brother from different parents. So I must be there for him on his special day, So I am invited at his marriage meeting and to meet my soon to be sis-in-law," he finalised his word.

 

"Sis-in-law," I mumble and let out a dry chuckle.

 

I just shook my head and got up from the couch. "Dude, where are you heading to?" Ray asked.

 

"To find a good fu*k to get me through the night," I replied.

 

"Yes, you do need that because you are soon going to be stuck with one woman only," Sam said while chuckling.

 

I just gave him a last glare before making my way out. I walked out of the VIP room and down to the crowd, where I saw girls and boys dancing, kissing, and grinding on each other.

 

I scanned the room before making my way to the dance floor. I walked in among those horny people who were grinding and eating each other out. I walked further until I was standing in front of a girl in a white dress. She moved so sensuously, moving her hips left to right. I stood behind her; she was still dancing without any care. I placed my hands on her waist, pulling her towards me. I felt her tense for a second, but she relaxed and began to move her hips again.

 

Oh fuck!!

 

She sneaked her hands up around my neck and began to move her hips. I lowered my head near her ear and bit it softly. She let out a soft moan. I let out a breath before saying,"Beautiful, which made her stiff.

 

She just stopped dancing, and her hand slowly went down from my neck.She moved one step forward and slowly turned around. She stared at me with her two green orbs.

 

I felt her finger make its way on my face and touch my jaw and then lips. I stared at her as well; it seemed like she was trying to study my face.

 

Then, in a quick motion, she retracted her finger from my face before saying,"Sorry," and walking away.

 

I stood there, looking at her silhouette disappear in the crowd. I just stared at the direction for, God knows, how long, until I was snapped out of my thoughts by a blonde who started kissing my neck.

 

I tuck her hair back with my hand and stare at her, pulling her close to my body before smashing my lips against her.

 

I need this... ..

 

 

Latia's POV

 

I squeeze myself out of the crowd,searching for Casendra. I look around, and I see her talking with a blonde guy. I make my way towards her and cling onto her arm.

 

Latia, you were dancing with that Greek God, and How can you be so stupid, touching his perfect jaw, his lips?

 

Stupid Stupid...

 

"Stupid," I said to myself, but I guess Casendra heard it since she was looking at me and asked,"You alright?" I let out a deep and heavy breath, which I didn't know I was holding in. "Yes, I am," I replied, nodding my head and turning to the blonde Guy in front of us.

 

Oh, Latia, meet Sam, my brother's best friend, and Sam, meet my best friend, Latia." She introduces us to each other. Hello, Latia, nice to meet you," he said, offering his hand for a shake.

 

I took his hand and said,"Please let me meet you as well. I quickly retracted my hand from his hold.

 

“Alright, you ladies, enjoy; I've got to go now." With that, he left.

 

I just stared at his back until Cassy spoke,"Latia, I want to introduce you to my brother, but he already left, but he said that we will meet again this weekend," she said in a sad yet happy tone.

 

"You mean tomorrow?” I asked.

 

"Yes isn't that wonderful," she excitingly said while grabbing my arm tightly,"and more over some guest are coming over for dinner tomorrow but that is not our matter, we will just enjoy,” I nodded my head and let out a dry chuckle.

 

I feel like something is going to happen again; something just doesn't feel right about the dinner.

 

"Do you want to go home? " she asked, and I shook my head, singing a No.

 

"All right, then let's go and drink!” she shouted. "Yessss!"

 

"Let's drink and get wasted tonight," she shouted. I shook my head and walked towards the bar along with her.

 

.......................

 

I cried out as she kicked my stomach hard. I let out a cough from the strong kick, and she kept on kicking me until my body turned numb.

 

She stopped, and I thought it was over, but then it wasn't. She has more to do. I felt my hair being pulled and was met with her face and the knife between us. I looked at her in terror. You know, Latia, this thing says that it wants to get inside your skin. Isn't that exciting? she said evilly.

 

"Plea...se leave..m...e ple..." Before I could utter any word, she dipped the knife in my left rib. I scream out loud...

 

"Nooooo... " I sat up straight on my bed,sweat dripping down from my forehead, I look around my room whether she is there or not but she wasn't, I exhale and inhale to steady my breathing.

 

After relaxing, I looked at the clock and saw it was only half past three in the morning, which means I only slept for four hours, and I know I am not getting any more sleep.

 

I removed my duvet, got out of bed, and walked down to the kitchen. Thank God, I don't have to search for the switch because I don't really close the light. I mean, in some rooms I do, but in my room, bathroom, and kitchen, I just leave it on since I really can't stay in a dark room after the horrible incident that took place four years ago.

 

I went down to the kitchen and made myself a cup of water before gulping.

 

I place the cup on the island and make my way to the fridge to grab a tub of ice cream. I took out the vanilla ice cream and made my way on the stool, I sat the ice cream on the island and took a big scoop and put it inside my mouth. I moaned out loud, devouring the sweetness and coldness of the vanilla.

 

"I really, really need this; thank you,” I said to nobody but the ice cream.

 

This really helps me a lot when my panic and anxiety are building up.

 

I took another scoop and put it in my mouth, and I moaned out loud. I kept on eating until it was over. I took the last scoop and put it in my mouth.

 

I lick my lips and rub my stomach feeling full. “Yes, I am full now; thank you, ice cream.” I said it again and placed a kiss on the empty tub before placing the tub in the collection of my ice cream tub.

 

After placing it, I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch, flipping the channel one after another, then stopped on my track when I saw the couple kissing. I sat myself straight and looked intently at the scene taking place. The couple is kissing passionately; their lips move in the same sync, slowly yet passionately.

 

I wonder how it feels to be kissed by Mr. Greek God. Will he kiss soft and slow like in this movie or be a bit rougher? I don't want it to be soft yet not so rough either. Then the realization hit me: I am dreaming about Mr. Greek God kissing me,"Oh holy moly, Latia, you need holy water to cleanse your dirty thoughts... But then how does it feel to be kissed? I asked myself.

 

Yes, I know I am acting like those teenage girls, but what can I do? I have never been kissed by anyone. I did have a boyfriend once in my senior year of high school, but I didn't have a chance to be kissed by him. So now, I am left with my thoughts and desire of being kissed and what it feels like to be kissed.

 

Then my mind goes back to those soft lips of Mr. Greek God, his perfect jaw, and more importantly, his blue orbs that keep staring at me intently with every move I make.

 

Mr. Greek God...
