The Idea Of You Prologue
The oversized 'Happy Birthday Cindy' banner hung high and proud above the living room. Almost everybody from Annie and Cindy's class filled the house, well everyone Cindy labeled as good enough. Some people just weren't 'worthy' as Cindy claimed. Adding to the chaos was Cindy's other family members. These people included aunts, uncles and cousins. Cindy's mother's brother, Henry, the dark and mysterious man that nobody else even really knew had existed. Henry and his son Alexander were recently left without Alexander's mother. Cindy's mother, Natally, had quickly wanted to step in to comfort her brother and nephew through the difficult time. They would be leaving soon in just over a week, after staying with Cindy for just under a month. Unfortunately for Annie and Cindy that meant a stop to many sleepovers which in turn slowed the planning process down. Cindy still hadn't gotten over that yet, in her young mind this party was life or death. Her popula

Alexander was living a very different life, than the life he had wanted. Alexander's life revolves around crime. Unlike Annie who only heard about crime on the news, Alexander was in the middle of it. Currently he was sitting in his office at one of his many strands of casinos, in each he had his own office. He was currently running over the numbers. Thankfully they added up, although he noticed a pattern. Someone called Jack Hill was collecting a debt in all of his casinos, and it was pissing him off. This Jack person would rack up a debt then disappear for a month, then pop up in another casino. Something would have to be done about him. Although the name seemed familiar to him, he wasn't sure why or where he had heard it before. Before Alexander could put a plan together in his head he received a call from Mason, his best mate. They had been friends since primary. Mason was one of the only four people in the inner circle.

Annie slipped a towel around herself, her skin still burning from her hot shower, smelling of pinecone. Her phone had rung multiple times while she was occupied in the shower, but Annie couldn't bring herself to leave the comforting heat of the scalding water. It felt too nice, too fresh, she felt too safe. Her head was caught in daydreams of what her life could be if she just had the confidence to follow her dreams if she had the confidence to go back to Cindy's and just see her cousin one more time. To get just one more glimpse at the boy she had been in love with all these years. She often wondered how he had developed, how he looked now if he still had those dimples when he smiled if his eyes were still that golden brown colour she saw so often in her dreams. She would never be able to get the answers she so desperately wanted. When she was dry and in her pyjamas, Annie finally looked at her phone. Sh

Alexander paced up and down the floor of his private house, surrounded by his closest friends and inner circle. Alexander's inner circle were the only people aware of his private house, with a few trusted guards that patrolled the perimeter. Alexander needed to be constantly well protected, he always carried weapons and had a set of trained guards on standby. These guards were a part of the mafia, but their jobs were primarily to protect important assets. His father had been the one to set up the almost separate organization. They had specific training and were always ready to kill. They had been taught to shoot first and ask questions later, and of course, never ask questions about what or why they were protecting something. "Someone is making a complete fool out of me," Alexander exclaimed, tugging at his hair. "I keep losing more and more products. Someone has to be leaking information." Alexande

Cindy was going through some of Jack's files. Something about his name struck something inside her. She recognized it, she just had to be sure where from. Cindy was aware that there were many people named Jack, it was a common name for people to name their children, but she had to check. The nagging feeling at the back of her head refused to silence itself until she finally looked into it. 'Jack Hill' Cindy read aloud, she read it again and again, attempting to find it in her memories. Until finally it hit her. "Jack has been super busy recently. I feel like I'm losing my brother." A younger Annie Hill's voice swirled in Cindy's mind. Instantly Cindy read further, scanning until she found it. She finally found her name. 'Annie Hill'. Instinctively Cindy picked up Annie's file and scanned through that

"Can I take you somewhere?" A much younger Annie asked, a much younger Alexander. She was nervous. Maybe it was because he had been the only one there for her at that moment. Maybe it was because he had been the only male, apart from her brother, that ever gave her real attention. Maybe it was just the high emotions of the night. Either option was entirely possible because all Annie knew was that she wanted to get to know Alexander, and she knew that in order to do this she would have to be more open and forthcoming about herself. Although the thought terrified her, Annie considered it a small price to become closer, more intimate, with the boy in front of her. "Sure?" Alexander's answer was hesitant. He knew he needed to get to know Annie. After all, she was Cindy's friend. Or perhaps that was just an excuse he was allowing himself to bel

Annie shivered as the cold seeped through the thin blanket and her clothes. The clothes she was wearing just wasn't enough to protect her from the freezing air around her. The door opened again and Cindy walked in, now as Annie looked at her friend, she could see how different Cindy seemed from when they had been friends. Her physical changes were to be expected, but Annie could see through to Cindy's core and soul. They both seemed different, altered. She wasn't sure what had happened, but she wasn't quite the same person. If Annie was honest with herself she knew she was jealous of the changes Cindy seemed to show because Annie knew she hadn't changed much. Physically, yes, she was different. Her spiritual self hadn't changed. "I'm sorry, Alex is such an impulsive twat." Cindy sighed, sitting on the chair that was always left a little away from the cell. Annie stayed silent, she was too cold to risk looking any more body heat. "You must be freezing, I'll call Chris h

Chris and Alexander were sat at the kitchen table. Both had a coffee in their hands. Their conversation had started much more civilised than Cindy's had. Chris hadn't even mentioned Annie yet, he had to wait for his moment, it had to be naturally brought up or steered towards. "So you got Jack's sister?" Chris asked, he purpousely avoided Annie's name. That could be a raw scar, he didn't know enough about the circumstances towards the girls friendship, or if Alexander had any kind of relationship with the girl he could only describe as a victm. "Yeah it was easy to catch her." Alexander's tone was sharp, he tried to push a smile on his face but his anger was noticed by Chris. Alexander was almost angry at Annie for being such an easy target. The lack of protection she carried, it was almost as if she didn't know how dangerous the world around her was. Which she didn't. How could she? She had lived a previously relatively shelted life. No drama, danger, threat.

The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty Six
Annie woke up alone in her bed, just as she had fallen asleep. Last night as Annie and Alexander went their separate ways Annie couldn’t help but wish they had been going to bed together. She could only imagine how wonderful it would be to wake up next to him, but she knew that would send him the wrong message. Annie wasn’t going to jump into this relationship, she wanted them to last and be a happy couple. She wanted others to look at Annie and Alexander and be jealous, or think that that’s what they aspire to be with their partners. Annie had always dreamed of being apart of an ‘it’ couple and soon she hopefully would be, she knew that would only happen with time. Annie rolled over in her bed and sent a text to all her friends. The time difference meant it was unlikely that anybody would be up, but she hoped they’d reply when they woke up. She did miss her friends from back home, but she would be lying if she said she didn’t like the break this allowed her to have. She liked that i
The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty Five
Alexander stood breathless as a nervous Annie walked down the stairs. Alexander had only been a few minutes before Annie, but he was glad he got to see her like this. Part of him waished he had suggested that they had stayed in tonight rather than go out, another larger part of him was glad he got to show Annie off. He was amazed that he would get such a beautiful woman on his arm. The part of him that wished to keep Annie locked up was ignored as he took Annie's hand. "You look stunning," Alexander almost gasped. Annie's cheeks turned the colour of blood when she blushed at Alexander's comment. "Absolutely georgous." Alexander smiled oh so charmingly at Annie and her heart couldn't help but skip. "Thank you." Annie hestitated, feeling awkward and unsure how to continue. "You look incredible." Alexander ssmiled towards Annie, his eyes seeming to twinkle with the love and joy he felt as he gazed at her. The two stood, silently admiring each other. The two had no idea how their night
The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty Four
Annie and Alexander slowly settled into their seprate rooms at the villa. Alexander had offered to share a room with Annie, he even had hpoped that she would want to, but she of course said no. Annie spent hours unpcking and praying that she would have anything she needed. Annie had never been on a holiday abrord before and felt like no matter what she did, she would always be underprepared. Annie had finally unpacked hours later and decided to call Kaylee back at home before she went to dinner with Alexander. Annie and Alexander decided they would have a real conversation that night at dinner. They both hoped that their conversation would bring them closer together and that it would mean that they could finally begin a relationship together. "Kaylee!" Annie squeeled when Kaylee answered the call. It was just an ordanary call which Kaylee was glad about. She knew it was late back home where Kaylee had been waiting for her call. Kaylee would never admit it to Annie, but she didn't mi
The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty Three
Back at home Kaylee was waiting for Annie’s call to tell her everything about just how terrible the flight was. As Kaylee waited she decided she would need to do some damage control with those around her, especially Mason as he was the only one she believed would ever really be on her side. Luckily, living with him gave her the best opportunity to talk to him. He was still out while Kaylee waited for Annie’s call, but she knew he would be back soon. It was hours before Mason came home, when he came home Kaylee had yet to receive a call from Annie. She was beginning to worry that maybe Annie didn’t consider them as close as she thought. She quickly washed that thought away because there were ways to fix that and Kaylee would do whatever it took. Kaylee didn’t want Annie to have anyone left and it was important to her plan that Annie felt isolated. For now Kaylee would work on her friendship with Mason. “Hey Kay,” Mason smiled at her as he walked into the living rooms where Kaylee was
The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty Two
Annie and Alexander'd car ride was tense and awkward. Annie had barely managed to pack before Alexander appeared telling her it was time to leave. Annie was immediately infuriated, he was always telling her what to do, always the one in control, making plans for her rather than with her. The very fact that he assumed he could order her about frustrated her even more. She hated that everybody else seemed tio be on his side, always backing him up. Annie tried to call Rebecca before she left, she was one of the only ones that would maybe support her rather than blindly following Alexander's lead, but she didn't pick up. Annie was starting to feel pretty helpless. She realised that there was no where she could really go to get away from Alexander if she ever wanted to. Everyone lived in his back pockets. The thoughts depressed her just as much as they scared her. Annie spent the whole drive slowly stewing and thinking of a way that she could confront Alexander with her thoughts and feelin
The Idea Of You Chapter sixty one
Annie guided Kaylee towards her room even though the effort was unnecessary. Kaylee had been to Annie’s room before and so the girls quickly found their way there. When the door was safely shut Kaylee let out a sigh of relief. “My god they hate me!” Kaylee cried. Annie shook her head. “They are definitely on edge, I can’t believe they thought that I would do anything!” Kaylee was outraged at their implications. She hated being suspected and if anything that would make it much harder to complete her end goal. It seemed the universe wasn’t on her side. She knew she would need to isolate Annie from her friends but now it was more vital than ever. “I mean I can’t blame them,” Annie defended. With what had happened she couldn’t imagine her friends being laid back about the whole situation. Annie knew that this was a huge problem, it meant somebody knew where Alexander lived. She wasn’t sure it was a targeted attack, but it was certainly cause for concern. Annie assumed that nothing like
The Idea Of You Chapter Sixty
Everybody was surprised to see Kaylee arrive at Alexander’s house. They were all on high alert and Kaylee’s unexpected arrival made her instantly a suspect. Kaylee had been expecting this, but the accusation on their faces made her feel hurt. Even though she was the culprit she was hurt to find they really would suspect her if she gave them any small reason to. Only Mason seemed understanding and happy to see her. Their friendship was something she knew she wanted to nurture and she hoped that it would become a real friendship, it already felt like one. She hated lying to him but after their conversation earlier she realised it would be a mistake to tell him the true. “What are you doing here?” Cindy demanded, standing between Kaylee and the stairs. Kaylee frowned, Annie wasn’t downstairs which would have been the most helpful thing right now. Kaylee already had her answers ready but she made sure she looked truly shocked and slightly scared, she hoped she had pulled it off before sh
The Idea Of You Chapter Fifty Nine
Annie immediately rushed to her bedroom under the pretence of excitement. Instead she was rushing to call Kaylee and get some answers. Everybody would not look so grave and secretive over some silly holiday, she wondered how Alexander thought it would be an appropriate time to take a holiday. For weeks it had seemed that Alexander could not spare a few minutes of the day, he had barely even slept, and now he was proposing a holiday. Annie wanted some answers but it seemed that nobody was willing to give her any. Annie had hope that Kaylee would be different, so far Kaylee had been open and honest in Annie’s mind. They had started to grow a friendship and Annie hoped that would mean Kaylee would tell her what the hell was going on. Kaylee had less loyalty to Alexander is what Annie assumed, it’s one of the things that made Kaylee so easy to talk to. Kaylee hadn’t been working for him for years and so Annie hoped this would make Kaylee even more likely to spill the beans. As soon as An
The Idea Of You Chapter Fifty Seven
Annie woke up to Kaylee’s phone call and was instantly on edge. Kaylee refused to tell her what was going on, it was the second call in under a month that left her feeling uneasy and on edge. The last one had made no sense but at least this time she knew who had been calling her. Annie had never been great at waiting, nor being in the dark. Annie had lived a sheltered life which meant she knew very little about the world around her. Annie knew even less about the darkness of Alexander’s world and so this new feeling of fear was unknown to her. In her head everything was safe until now when it seemed everything fell apart. Annie stormed to Alexander’s office only to see everybody there. Instantly she knew something was wrong. She had yet to go downstairs to discover the artwork that somebody had thought the walls needed to be complete. “What is going on?” Annie demanded, she was sick of being treated like a child who needed to be protected from everything. “Nothing.” Everyone said.
