ALEXA’S POV I had woken up to find the covers still drawn over my body which was normal because I had tossed and turned when I was asleep, however, what was different was the fact that the scent of sandalwood had been with me all night; for a moment I had thought Calan had been beside me during the night, but then I recalled that his coat had been draped over me, it probably had been why I had slept so soundly. I could tell it was a cool morning because I was still under the covers and I wasn’t even hot at all, on the contrary I felt rather cold. Nonetheless, I pushed the covers of myself and climbed out of bed slowly, and as I did his coat fell over my shoulders and like always; I felt empty. I let out a breath, it was too early for this, I had things to do, I had to prepare for the day and head out in time for my first class. With that in mind, I had pulled myself together and had headed to the bathroom to freshen up. And it wasn’t long before I was dressed and ready to head out,
I had taken the coat with me to the dining room, and for some reason my heart pounded heavily against my chest as I made my way there; I was just returning a coat but yet I was almost breathless, yet I was almost having a heart attack. I swallowed an imaginary lump that had formed in my throat before I pushed the door open quietly and made my way into the dining area. I noticed the table was set but void of his presence, and for some reason I begun feeling really nervous and anxious as all thoughts crossed my mind. What if he wasn’t here because he wasn’t coming? And what if he wasn’t coming because he thought he was making me uncomfortable. I was probably overthinking the whole thing but I very well couldn’t help it, I couldn’t help a lot of things these days. And just as I turned around to leave I bumped into something….or someone, I bumped into him and his hand went around me to keep me from losing my balance. I’m glad he had done that cause my heart almost leapt out of my mou
Third person's POV It wasn't like April wasnt used to drinking, it was just that she was the worst there was with alcohol, and one would think that she would learn from the excruciating hangovers but she just didn't, perhaps she would have gotten drunk if she had. It was well into the day now and it was safe to say that she still felt like shit. But of course, that didn't stop her from going out with Micheal, death wad probably the only thing that would stop her from going with him, and even if she was dead she'd probably still be with him in spirit. "We can go tomorrow if you still don't feel Alright". Micheal had said to her. It wasnt hard to notice that she wasn't quite herself; her head hurt terrebly and she kept on flinching from the slightest noise or contact, and not to mention the fact that she was slightly feverish and weakened from all the throwing up. She had shook the very head that ached her quickly and had told him sne wouldn't wait till tomorrow, she couldn't.
Alexa's POV How long had it been since I reumed classes? Nothing more than two weeks for sure, but yet it felt like forever. And what made it worse was mistakenly hearing two professors discussing about 'The President's' resumption; I guess I had somehow forgotten that resuming classes meant meeting Michael one way or another. My heart had fallen to the pit of my stomach and I had felt fairly sick to be honest, and till now my heart still faltered considerably. We had Philosophy class in ten minutes and Michael always took that particular course, I had asked him why he still had to teach when he obviously had so much to do. His reply had been simple: 'I wouldn't be heading A University if I didn't like teaching'. I had admired him for that, I still did, I liked the passion in which he taught with, I liked how dedicated he was towards making sure the lesson was understood. I found myself shifting in my seat over and over again as I waited for the ten minutes to elapse. If Mich
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
