Alexa's POV We had stayed by the pool talking about random stuff still we realized that it wasn't so hot and bright anymore, we headed back inside though i didn't want to just yet. Calendar had insisted that we go in because he didnt want be catching a cold or something. "So, apart from celebrities and fictional characters, there has to have been a real person you've had a crush on". He had said as we had made our way back upstairs. My cheeks had heated up at once on thinking about my crushes. Had i crushed on a person for real before? It was a big yes, obviously. I had firsy had a big crush on Michael, and then him...... But how was i to say that? How was i to tell him that? I hadn't responded, and strangely he hadn't asked again either. Now in my room, i had changed into a comfortable chiffon dress and was drying my hair with a towel when i heard a knock on the door. "Come in". I called out. I had expected it to be Mildred who wanted to ask me about dinner or something, but
ALEXA POV My eyes widened at not just the sudden incursion but also the confession he had just made. My heartbeats slowed as i tried to process all that was happening; it had happened all too quickly. One moment i was in his arms with him kissing me fervently, and the next thing i knew i was lying on my back and was feeling the blissful sensation of his hands roaming around my body and feeling me up. It was happening all too quickly, so quickly that i couldn't stop myself from saying; "Wait..." "I don't want to, Alexa". He replied while trailing kisses on the side of my neck. My head fell back in pleasure and for a split second i almost lost my mind. "Calan.....wait". I said, the breathy voice in which i spoke probably didn't make it sound like i truly wanted him to wait but he did. He stopped trailing kisses on my neck but continued to hover over me nonetheless. His eyes were all dark now and he looked almost....upset. "Are you mad at me?". I asked him while truing to st
Third person's POV 'Oh my God! Leela really did hurt her! It's no wonder they're filling a case!' 'Boy, that looks painful!' 'Eeeishhh!' 'Nope! It wont leave a scar, but Leela most definitely should have left you one!' 'It wont leave a scar.....don't exaggerate, princess'. 'Fuck off, it wont leave a scar!' 'It'll definitely leave a scar!' 'She deserves that!' 'OMG, that Leela girl definitely is an animal.....' Alexa scrolled through the comments on the picture she had uploadedthe previous day, somehow, she found herself completely unbothered by them, she found herself not caring about what they said or thought. Her talk with Calan had done her a great deal of good. It may have been irrational but there had always been that fear that he'd leave her and probably go back to Layla, but after seeing how he had stood against Layla the other day at the security's office she had begun thinking otherwise, but when he told her he didn't want what he had with her with anyone else
Alexa's POV Micheal had already been at the station when we arrived, and for some reason i found myself averting my gaze from his; things were truly beginning to get awkward between us now that people were openly saying we were having an affair. And the fact that Calan had asked if i still had a crush for him made it even harder for me to face him without wanting to die from the awkwardness. I had stood uneasily by Calan's side as he conversed with Micheal who seemed to have noticed that i didn't quite want to say much to him. He had only asked how i was and if i would be opting for the classes at home, and when i told him i might resume attending classes soon he had simply nodded and told me he wished me the very best. And when we had finally settled down for the questioning, i had tried my best to answer as confidently as i could, i hadnt let myself stutter even for once. And when i was asked what had triggered me to slap Leela in the first place, my gaze had flickered to Mic
Third person's POV Alexa had left after spending sometime with April, they had talked, talked about how it was obvious that both men adored them, talked about how April probably didn't understand Micheal very well. She had decided to try to not be so worried about the fact that she was unable to concieve a child, after all, she was still young, she still had a whole life ahead of her. Exhausted from the talk and heart ache, she had gone to bed and had fallen asleep. And it was only when she felt gentle caresses on her cheek that her eyes fluttered open slowly. A faint smile curved her lips on seeing that it was Micheal. He was back already? Then for how long had she been asleep? "Hey". He said to her. "Hi". Their relationship lately had been a little bit bunny seeing that she so desperately wanted to convieve a child and he wasn't as bothered as she was. It had affected the both of them in different ways. They weren't exactly having issues, it was just that they were drifti
Third person's POV The rest of the week weren't exactly the best for Alexa, it had gone from resuming classes while trying to act natural amidts to going to court and all. She had finally been relieved when Leela was asked to not only tender and official apology to her but also to Michael, she had also been asked to pay a fine. And to top it up, she had been subjected to undergo various test to ensure that she was completely sane, and amidst all that, it was discovered that she had been doing drugs unbeknownst to Layla, thus, she had been subjected to rehabilitation. Of course the newz had been all over the media and campus was abuzz with it. It was also abuzz with how Kayla had openly glared at Alexa throughout the whole court session. She had walked up to her when everything had been concluded, and for a moment Alexa had thought she had wanted to attack her like Leela had done."Alexa....is it?". She had said. And Alexa had said nothing, just regarded her with a frigid attitude
ALEXA’S POV For a moment I truly didn’t know what to say to her. I just sat there staring at her while trying to comprehend the new piece of information; like, Rayne had asked her out, and she had somehow turned him down because they would be going their separate ways soon and she would be getting married. That seemed entirely…..unexpected. I cleared my throat quietly as I thought about what to say.“It’s not like you’re in a hurry to get married, are you?”. I asked her quietly. I mean, Sasha had never really struck me as the kinda girl who would get married once she was done with college, heck, she didn’t even have a serious relationship. She shook her head.“No, but my family seems to have found someone for me”. She told me. She leaned back into her seat resignedly, I couldn’t help but feel bad for her.“Is that even right?”. I asked her.Her gaze flickered to her drink which she had set down earlier, she stared at it for a while before shrugging.“It’s normal really; partne
Alexa's POV I had texted Sasha to find out if she was free so we could hang out. I didn't want her being on her own while she had so much going on, and....i also needed help with going to the saloon, getting my nails done and all seeing that it was Friday. I had texted April regarding the dress the very evening Calan had told me about it and we had gone to see her seamstress the next day. They had helped picked a design and the dress had been delivered earlier today, and it had been perfect. We had also gone shopping for the shoes and the purse; i was excited to wear them all, but was i still nervous about going to the dinner party? Completely and absolutely. Sasha had replied saying she would be available and would love to hang out, and so i found myself waiting in the car outside the address of the apartment she had given me. It wasn't long before the door opened and she stepped out looking flawless like always. She locked the door quickly before hurrying to the car and gettin
Alexa's POV I had called Sasha before leaving school but she hadn't picked up, and so i had decided to head back home knowing i could always call her or go to her apartment later on. I probably looked downcast as i sat in the living room staring blankly at the tv screen cause Mildred walked up to me looking slightly worried. "Is there a problem, Mildred?". I asked her. And she shook her head. "I was going to ask you the exact same thing". She said to me. "You look rather sad". Lately it was unusual to see me was, i was always happy or at ease since i was mostly with Calan. I wasn't worried about anything except my friends and my exams. I blew out a breath. "I'm fine". I told her. "I just have a thing or two on my mind". She offered me a warm smile. "That's understandable dear". She said to me. "But do talk to someone if something worries you, it's never good to keep it in". I nodded. "Thank you so much". I said to her. She smiled once more before turning around and walking a
Third person POV For some unknown reason, Alexa had woken up the next day feeling completely scared and unprepared for the exams. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she had been feeling too confident about the whole thing yesterday. What if she had been too confident? What if she ended up seeing question she just couldn't answer? She had even been unable to eat her break fast, she had lost her appetite and Calan had noticed. "What's the problem?". He asked her. "I dont know.....". She replied quietly. "I just dont feel prepared for the exams today". He arched a brow slightly. "You went over the whole course handout with Michael yesterday, correct?". He asked her. And she nodded. "And you understood what he taught you?". He asked. Shw nodded once more. "Then that's all that matters". He told her. "You've got this". She cleared her throat quietly. "What....what if i get confused?". She asked him. He shook his head. "Dont think about it now, dont worry about anything". He
Alexa's POv "Why do you look this way?". Calan asked me as he draped his arm around me for a hug which i hadn't known i had needed till now. He placed a lingering kiss on my head before rubbing my back soothingly. "I'm just so tired". I told him. "That's understandable. Did The lectures go well?". He asked me. And i nodded. After my talk with micheal i had felt better, and we had even gone over the last pages. I was all done now and i had never been more confident about writing an exam. "That's good to know*. He said Against my head. "It was worth it". I nodded once more. We were in the parking lot standing leaning against the car almost lazily while the cool evening's breeze blew softly. "I missed you". He told me. And i looked up at him while my cheeks heated up slowly. "I...i missed you too". I told him. "So much". We had spent yesterday indoors in each other's company, he had helped me study and all, and then later on we had lost ourselves in each other's embrace.
Alexa's Point of view How long had it been? Two hours? Three? More? I had lost track during the course of the lesson, and though i was actually understanding Micheal's lectures, i couldn't help but feel really exhausted. I leaned into my seat tiredly and let out a breath as i tried to focus on what he was saying. The fact that i had been sitting in the same spot for more than three hours now didnt help at all, my body felt stiff and almost numb, even my brain was beginning to protest. I hadn't thought he had meant it so much when he had said i wouldnt be leaving till he was convinced i was ready to approach tomorrow's questions. A small groan left me before i could stop myself, and his gaze flickered up to mine. He probably took in the sorry sight i made cause his eyes softened and he also leaned back into his seat. "Tired?". He asked me. And i nodded immediately. He heaved a sigh before rubbing his temple wearily. "Fair enough, we've been on it for some time now". He sa
Alexa's perspective Examinations had started and to say i was stressed out would be an understatement. All the days of skipping school and spacing out in classes where beginning to take their toll on me. I had decided to not leave immediately after i was done with my exam for the day, and so i found myself sitting in the library while trying my very best to go over some of the work Micheal had covered. I groaned almost exasperatedly. I had beenbat this for hours and i still wasn't getting it right, i was beginning to lose my mind now. I was even beginning to think i was losing my mind. The words on the pages were getting all jumbled up and my eyes were getting sore from having stared at the page for so long. I blew out a breath before shaking my head. I would find someone to explain it to me but of course, i had no one. Sasha and Raymond weren't taking the course and so they couldn't help me, and it truly would be embarrassing to me if i failed Micheal's course. My gaze snapped
Third person POV April woke up to the feel of Micheal's fingers combing through her hair tenderly. Her eyes fluttered open and she found him right where he had been before she had fallen asleep, and she took a moment to just stare at him, took a moment to realize that her stomach wasnt killing her anymore. "You're awake". He said to her. She nodded. "You stayed". She said quietly. "Of course". He replied. "Are you feeling better?". "Yeah. Thank you". She replied. He smiled. "That's good to know". He told her. "I was begining to lose my mind". And a faint smile curved her own lips. "I guess we had that in common". She said quietly. He combed his fingers through her hair once more. "Why dont you ever go to the hospital?". He asked her, he was rather serious now. "I hate hospitals". She replied simply. He shook his head. "I do not wish for a next time, but if there is to be one....we're going to the hospital". He told her. She shook her head. "There's no need". She to
Third person's POV How long had it been since she went upstairs? A few hours, and if she wasnt asleep then it was very unlike her to not have come to him. And so, Micheal had decided to go upstairs and check up on her. Of course he had been surprised to see her curled in the middle of the bed looking all disheveled and pained, even the sheets were disheveled. He had hurried to her at once and gathered her into his arms. "Hey". He said as he brushed her hair from her hair softly. "What's wrong?". For a moment he feared she was having an emotional breakdown or something, giving all that had been happening lately. And on seeing the tears streaming down her cheeks, he became even more alarmed. "Cramps". She told him quietly. His eyes widened slightly and he once again brushed her hair from her face. "What can i do to help?". He asked her. A shuddering breath left April and she held onto his arms tightly. She let the fraagrance of sandal wood soothe her. "Hold on to me...".
Third person's POV Cramps.... April had seen the cramps coming, she had known it would be a shitty day ahead. What she hadn't known however was that it would be painful and teary. After breakfast, she had gone up to her room to get some sleep while Micheal had retired to his study to tend to a thing or two. It had started out well, she had managed to numb her thoughts and had even managed to fall asleep. However, she had woken up to the a dull but rather disturbing pain in her stomach. She had assumed it wouldn't get worse, she had assumed it wouldn't intensify and cause her to break down completely. But soon enough she founs herself clutching her stomach while curling herself up in a ball on her bed as tears streaked down her cheeks again and again. It had actually been a while since she had experienced so much pain during her period, it took her back to her days in college. Days in which she'd lie and cry within the walls off her apartment; being a person who didn't have actu
Third person's pov April woke up to the all to familiar feeling of wet warmth pooling in her panties. Her eyes widened as all sleepiness left her. She hastily pushed the cover off her body and climbed out of bed hoping she hadnt made a mess on the sheets.....on Micheal's sheets. The dull light barely penetrating the curtains told her that the sun was just beginning to rise; it meant she had a long day ahead of her, a long day with cramps and moodswings, a long day of being aware of the fact that.....she wasn't pregnant. Micheal's eyes fluttered open slowly on hearing the rustling of silks as April quickly slid on the robe of her night dress. "April? Is there a problem?". He asked her while blinking a couple of times to get rid of the sleepiness. She spun around to face him at once. "I...i need to go to my room". She told him. "Sorry i woke you". He shook his head. "Why are you in such a hurry though?". He asked her. How could she not be in a hurry when she feel the blood no
