Third pereon's pov

Dinner was mostly quiet; Alexa and Calan sat in the dinning hall having their dinner quietly, it was almost as though it was the only thing they could do without causing each other any sort of bother. Calan had accepted the fact that Alexa was hurt and upset to the point that she could only tolerate his presence because she loved him, and Alexa had accepted that she could only do nothing but tolerate his prrsence because she so deeply loved him.

And when the silence begun to get deafening and unnerving Calan spoke.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?". He asked her.

She probably should have inquired about why he was asking before she responded but she didn't, she knew it would lead to nothing but more hurt.

"I'm attending a party tomorrow". She replied quietly.

Calan couldn't stop his brow from arching slightly.

"A party?". He asked her, he didn't want to sound like he was blatantly not in support of her attending a party. "What kind of party?"

He wasn't pa

    Third person's pov The day had fortunately gone by quickly and Alexa found herself brushing her haid once more to make sure she looked alright. It was time for the party and Sasha had texted her the address saying she told a couple of people she would be in attendance and they were expecting her. Her excitement had built up even more but with it came the usual anxiety,and for a moment she just sat in front of her dressing mirror staring at her reflection while deliberating on what to and where to go from here, while trying to decide whether or not she truly wanted to attend the party now. What if no one wanted her there? What if people made fun of her, what if someone tried to harras her? What if she seemed out of place, she couldn't help but think about all that at once. She had to accept that she looked different in the dress she was wearing, looked nothing like herself at all, and though she looked beautiful she couldn't help but feel insecure about her looks. She was dressed i

    ALEXA’S POV “What are you doing? Leave me!”. I said as I struggled even more. He ignored not only my protests but my struggles as well. And once we were in his room he backed me against a wall once and leaned into me so we were mere inches apart. To say the whole situation was unnerving would be an understatement, but the proximity, to say it was alluring would be a bigger understatement. “You have two options, Alexa, take it off or I rip it off”. He said to me. And for some reason a sweet surge shot to my core and rippled through the pit of my stomach. I panted heavily as I stared up at him with tears still streaking down my cheeks.“Why….why are you being so mean?”. I asked him.“You’re making me be like this”. He answered. I sniffled quietly as I deliberated on what to do, was I to let down my pride and do as he said or was I to push him to his limits and test his savagery? A lump formed in my throat and the pit of my stomach begun hitting up as I thought about the latter, fo

    THIRD PERSON’S POV Alexa’s eyes sprang open and the recollect of last night came flooding back, and for reason she felt enveloped by shame and indignity; she had literally begged him last night. She pushed herself to a sitting position wanting to leave at once but found that she wasn’t alone in bed today. And for a moment she just sat there staring down at Calan who seemed to be fast asleep, and though she could stay there forever and just watch him she wanted to leave before he woke up and found her here, she wasn’t sure she was ready to face him just yet. But just as she began climbing out of bed she felt him hold her hand and she almost had a heart attack, she turned around quickly to face him once more but his eyes remained closed. “Don’t leave”. He said to her. His voice was deep from having just woken up. Her gaze darted around quickly as she thought of what to say. And it was only then that his eyes fluttered open slowly, and for a moment all he did was stare up at her; he

    Third person's pov It was Monday, Alexa had Calan had left for the office like always and Alexa had gone to school where she met an excited Sasha who had squealed about Alexa's life like a movie in which she wanted to be a part of, Rayne had watched quietly while shaking his head amusedly every now and then. "Buy the party was lit though". He said after Sasha had finally stopped the drama. Alexa sighed. "It's a shame you couldn't make it". Sasha said. "And I'm not surw the others would like to invite you to their parties since it kind of seemed like you blew this invitation off". Alexa nodded. "What if....i throw my own party?". She asked them. And a dark and deviant smile curved Rayne's lips. "You're finally thinking like the man". He said. "It's not....exactly my idea but....". She said quietly. "What'd you think?". Sasha nodded quickly with a bright smile. "Trust me, it's gonna be a blast, everyone's gonna turn up". She said. Alexa couldn't help but worry still, it was

    There was silence for a long time, complete and absolute silence, and then there were faint noises; the kind of ones that sounded like they were coming from a closed glass window. The sounds had Alexa's eyelids twitching slowly beforw her lashes finally fluttered open. And for a moment all she did was lie still as she stared at the blurry white ceiling which seems so far and unfamiliar, she tried blinking a couple of times to clear her vision and it worked, and it was only when everything became clear that she begun to feel the dull throbbing in her head. She let out a small groan as she looked around slowly. From the look of it she was either in a hospital or the school clinic, and she couldn't help but scold herself for having been so stupid as to wind up here. "She's awake sir". She heard a female voice say. Probably the nurse informing Micheal that she had regained consciousness. Micheal...... It truly was unfortunate that it took her falling from a flight of stairs to g

    Third person’s pov Not much had been said after Micheal had left them alone, Calan had simply asked her if she needed some sometime to fully gather her bearings before they left and she had nodded. And after sometime; when she was sure she wouldn’t lose her balance from the throbbing in her head she let him know and he informed the nurse who gave her some pills to take before going to bed. And in the car she sat with her head leaning against the closed window even though Calan had tried to get her to lean against him instead. It wasn’t like she was mad at him or something, she just didn’t feel like talking to him or anyone else, not even Micheal, perhaps it was herself she was angry at, perhaps she was angry that it took having such a humiliating talk with her husband and his best friend to get her to straighten up. She let out a tired breath before brushing her hair from her face, she couldn’t wait to get home and get some sleep. “Are you upset?”. Calan asked her, his voice was

    Alexa’s point of view I woke up to the sound of someone softly knocking at the door, and it was only when I blinked to clear my vision a couple of times that I realized it was bright and streaks of sunlight were streaming into the room through the slightly parted curtains. My eyes widened slightly as I realized I had overslept, I pushed the covers off me quickly and climbed out of bed, I felt a lot better now, the pills had helped, they had probably contributed to why I had overslept too. I hurried to the door and pried it open to find Calan standing there looking slightly worried, his temple was creased and his brows were furrowed, however, they smoothened out on seeing me.“Are you alright? I’ve been knocking for some time now”. He said to me.I cleared my throat quietly before nodding.“I overslept”. I said. “Good morning”. “Good morning. Trust you’re feeling better”. He said and I nodded once more. He reached out and gently brushed my disheveled hair from my face. “You’ll s

    ALEXA’S POV I tried not to gawk as I stepped into the grand workspace which was Calan’s office; it was darkly furnished and even more captivating than the rest of the building, understandably so since he was the boss here. And for a moment all I did was stand at the entrance staring at everything and nothing in particular, it was all so awkward, so….weird. “Come on”. He said on noticing that I hadn’t moved from the door. I cleared my throat quietly and nodded. I followed him further into the office and settled down on a couch when he asked me to. “Did you have breakfast?”. He asked as he settled down beside me. I nodded. “Good to know”. He said. “I like your outfit, you look…..”. His gaze raked over me once more as he probably thought about what to say. “Different?”. I asked him. He nodded. “Yes, older”. He said. Older? Was I to take that as a complement? I cleared my throat once more, I truly didn’t know what to say. “Older, as in…matured”. He elaborated. Matured

    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
