ALEXA'S POV On getting back home, Mildred had told me that Calan had returned earlier and she was worried he was feeling too well because he had looked tired. "You know how he can be, he insists that's he's fine". She had said. I could tell from the look in her eyes that she was so very worried about him. And her worry was contagious, I became just as worried as her or even more so, but I had to control myself, had to hold myself together so I didn't panic. I had asked where he was and she had told me he was up in his room taking a nap. Of course I had rushed upstairs, freshened up quickly and had headed to his room as fast as I could. I had knocked but as expected there was no response, so I opened the door as quietly as I could. I felt like I was sneaking around but I couldn't help it, I just needed to be sure That he was alright, plus it was the right thing to do. I made my way into the room slowly, all the while my heart pounded against my chest erratically; for a moment I
Don't stop..... Those words had hung thickly between the two as they stared into each other's eyes while Alexa panted heavily with every breath she took. Calan thought it through for a moment; why had he even started this in the first place? Probably because he felt horrible about all she had been through and all she had missed and wouldn't have by being with or, or perhaps it was due to the fact that her innocence was just so tempting, so inviting, so appealing. Perhaps it was because the proximity had done a thing or two to the both of them, perhaps he simply wanted to; no excuses and explanations needed. But had he intended to take it farther? He wasn't sure, all he knew was that the look in her eyes were so very alluring, be couldn't bring himself to look away for the life of him. There was something tempting about her, something that drew him in; he had been with women, yes, but she was different, perhaps it was her innocence and inexperience, perhaps it was her naivety and ho
Third person's POV A shuddering breath let her parted lips as he said those words, she stared up as hr eyes stung with tears; of course, he had been with others, she was obviously just one of the many he'd been with, and though the thought hurt she couldnt bring herself to feel any level of shame, not at the moment at least. She blinked the tears back and forced herself to nod. Calan let out a breath before releasing his hold on her wrist. He had seen the tears in her eyes, had seen the sad fleeting expression of sadness. "I will not restrain your hands if you're uncomfortable". He said though he knee it wasn't just that. She shook her head. "Are you uncomfortable with me touching your chest because of the scars?". She asked him quietly. And he nodded. "Don't they bother you?". He asked her. Touching them didn't bother her,but she was sure that she'd eventually break down if she had to think of all the pain he'd been through. "Not in the way you think". She croaked quietly.
ALEXA'S POV The previous night had been well spent,yes, and the morning, but after everything there was still reality which I had to fall back too; Calan had to leave for the office and I had to ready myself and head to classes in spite of the dull ache in my abdomen. I didnt even consider it an ache really, cause anytime I felt it I couldn't help but recall the happenings of last night, I couldn't help but recall how I had screamed, how I had shut my eyes and thrown my head back in complete and absolute pleasure. It had been better than the last time, and I couldn't help but wonder if the next time would be even better. I was out in sitting in the shade of an apple tree on my own when Sasha and Rayne joined me, and it was only then I realized I needed some company, I had been thinking about the exact same thing all day and I was afraid I'd get hurt from over thinking it all. I needed a change of thought, I needed something else on my mind. "Hello Mrs. Billionaire". Sasha greeted
When Sasha had said 'shopping' I hadn't thought she had meant going to procure an insane am out of lingeries and scandalous clothes. We had headed to the mall after classes and she had ganged up with the young clerk there in making me miserable. "Oooh, this one looks tempting enough". She said holding up a small red fabric which I couldn't quite make sense of at the moment. The clerk nodded in complete agreeance. "It'll go well with her skin". She said. "I can almost picture it accentuating those delicate curves". My cheeks flamed even more and I cleared my throat quietly. "Don't look so shy, Alexa, it's just us girls here". Sasha said to me. I knew, but it couldn't be helped. "Pink or green?". She asked the clerk. She thought it through for a moment before responding. "Green. It'll go well with her eyes!". She said and Sasha nodded in agreement. "Indeed it will". She said as she tossed a green cloth into the shopping cart. "What's your man like anyway? Does he like you b
It was late when I got back home, and though I was exhausted I felt good about myself to some extent. I knew I looked good after having my hair straightened so it fell to my lower back, and my new nails, they were a bit longer than usual so I found it a bit uncomfortable, but they looked good so I was determined to get used to them soon enough. A maid hurried to me and took my shopping bags the very second I stepped into the house, and tbough I insisted that I was fine carrying then on my own she chose to take them from me nonetheless. "Your hair looks so good ma'am". She said to me and I couldnt help but blush. "Thank you". I said. "You're most welcome. The boss wishes to have dinner with you in his suite". She informed me. And I nodded simply. It was probably a good time to show off my new looks, and probably try out one of the 'decent' night dresses Sasha had picked. As usual, I headed to my room, fresher up quickly and got dressed; only this time I wasn't wearing one of my
There had been nothing wrong with how he had spoken to her the other day right? Absolutely nothing at all, Michael tried to convince himself. All he had done was set barriers between them, proper and well needed barriers. Their relationship—whatever it was that was between the both of them, it was sinful and only attracted pain to the people around them. Yes, see in the tears in her eyes had sought to unnerve him, but he had reminded himself that if had to be that way; she was after all not just his best friend's wife but his student as well, there had to be barriers between them. He had done the right thing.... He had done the right thing, but why did he feel like this? Why did he feel even worse than he had felt about the whole thing initially? "What's on your mind?". His gaze which had been glued to the coffee mug in front of him quickly snapped back to April's on hearing her speak. "Nothing much, just work I suppose". He told her. She nodded though she seemed unconvinced.
THIRD PERSON' S P O V it was early in the day yet both men found themselves in a bar conversing while swirling the brown liquids in their glasses which niether had bothered to drink from. There was a lot that needed to be said and luckily they happen to have the power to ditch work whenever they wanted. "So she wants kids". Calan was saying. "And it bothers you". Michael nodded. "Yeah, but why?". Calan asked him. He had never been opposed to the thought of having children, a slut he'd had a one night stand with could call call him up and tell him she was carrying his child and he'd be glad. And goodness, when his own wife had been pregnant....it was as though he would suddenly grow wings and fly. "I guess I just don't want to bring a child into my life right now, not when everything's so....complicated". Michael replied. He set the glass down before rubbing his temple wearily. Complicated..... Calan could almost understand how complicated his life must be but the fact tha
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
