FATES WILL

CHAPTER 42: confession 1

Alessandro's POV;

I opened the door to our house and tiredly walked in. It was past midnight, so I wasn't surprised nobody was around.

I slowly walked to the couch before slumping on it without a care for my image. Not like anyone was around to see anyway.

Carelessly removing my tie, I contemplated whether or not to get a drink before deciding against it. I wasn't ready to face a hangover tomorrow morning.

I suddenly realized how quiet my surroundings were. I can hear my own breathing. Unable to help myself I remembered my conversation with Roman several days ago. I have been trying to avoid thinking about it. Thinking about the fact that, the girl I am head over heels in love with, might be a spy who could possibly be a threat to my family.

"Al diavolo tutto questo!" ("To hell with all this!")

I haven't seen or heard from Lexi in a long time. Nor did I try to contact her ever since the day I found more about Z.

I don't know what to do!

I let my hands cover my eyes, intending to take a little nap, when the silence was broken by my phone ringtone. Wondering who would call at this time I picked it up, only to freeze the next second.

The contact 'little kitty' flashed across my eyes, making me wonder if I was now hallucinating. The phone continued to ring for a while before it got cut. That was when I came out of my frozen state. I was wondering if I should call back when she called again.

I didn't hesitate a second before hurriedly picking up the call. "Hello!"

"Zandro, hi. I'm currently in a 24/7 coffee place near your home. Well, sort of near. Anyway, I have something to tell you. Can you come over. I know it's probably a bad time, but....please? I'm sending you the adress. I'll wait for you to hopefully come. Bye."

She didn't even give me a chance to reply before saying all that and cutting the call. I was quite confused to be honest. She seemed nervous for some reason. But, the call made me realize how much I missed her voice. How much I wanted to see her, and that, even if she was a spy, I can't stop loving her.

That's right! I can't stop loving her! I don't care who she is anymore, all I know is she is the woman I love, and I'm not going to give up until I make her mine!

Picking up my strewn coat and car keys, which I didn't know when I had thrown, I ran out the door. I wanted to see her! Badly!!

By the time I reached the café, I was pretty much sweating. Not like I ran here, but because I was ever so nervous! Damn, me and nervous! What the hec!

I went inside the brightly lit café. It had a sort of romantic feel here. With slow music in the background and elegent white decor.

I saw her seated by a window, gazing outside, lost in thought. She was as gorgeous as ever. Yep, I have fallen beyond return. Her long index finger kept carassing the rim of her coffee cup.

There were very few people here at this time. I took off my coat while slowly making my way over to her. She seemed to be the only one I could see. A slight smile made it's way to my face as I reached her table. She still seemed lost in thought, and didn't notice my presence. This was probably the first time I have been ignored like this. I couldnt get mad though, she just looked too adorable!

I sat across her and gently knocked on the table, making her jump a little before turning to look at me.
