Chapter Thirty Six

Katrina's Pov - 27 Years Old

I never thought I'd say this but I'm grateful.

I'm grateful for Alex. I'm grateful for every person that came by to see me when I was out of it. I could hear them. Not everything but I could hear some of it.

I would've died if he wasn't there. No exaggeration. He was the reason that I had a chance. He saved me twice now.

I knew that if a girl like me could go from trying to end my life repeatedly to making sure that I survived and did anything to live, something in this world was magical.

If I went back to the girl I was sixteen years ago, I would laugh if I ever heard someone say that one day I'd be thankful to be alive.

Being alive meant more Alex.

"Don't go wandering off into that head of yours." Violetta said as she gave me a hug from the side.

It was my birthday.

We weren't doing much. I was still 'recovering' according to Alex and he didn't want me doing much. I wouldn't have even celebrated in general but Violetta, Ronan, Amanda, Thomas and Daniel came over.

There was a cake, gifts and happiness. It was so . . . peaceful.

I liked it. It made me feel warm like the way I always felt with Alex but his was always more.

I was uncomfortable at first because I wasn't used to this but I was happy and it scared me. I'd never experienced it like this before.

I walked over slowly to Alex as I smiled back at Violetta as she jumped on top of Ronan.

He saw me come and his eyes lightened as he got up mid conversation with Thomas to help me and that made my heart beat faster. He always saw me first.

I took a seat next to him and leaned my head against his shoulder as his arm softly wrapped itself around my waist.

I was so annoyed at him though. He kept treating me like a glass doll.

He had a promise to keep and he was disappointing me. He was supposed to fuck me to death but he wasn't doing anything.

I'm not that weak, I seriously need him on me and in me, I mean it was the main motivating factors for me to get away from Verona's ugly ass. I was looking forward to it and he wasn't fulfilling.

I pressed my lips to his jaw and raised my head slightly to whisper in his ear.

"If you aren't fulfilling your promise tonight, you're dead."

He simply ignored me as the side of his lips quirked up with a hint of a smile showing how amused he was. He squeezed my waist softly and turned his face to kiss the bridge of my nose lightly.

That always tickled but I loved it.

He got up after a moment because he received a call and went towards one of the rooms.

I faced Thomas who watched Alex's retreating back with guilt.

I knew why he felt that way. I was guilty too.

"We need to tell him."

"We can't. It's not something easy to — "

"It's been enough time Thomas, I'm telling him today, after he's done with that call."

Thomas gritted his jaw and looked at me with resignation.

He leaned forward and grasped my hand for support. I simply squeezed tighter knowing that he wasn't dealing with this well.

"I still don't think we should tell him but I — "

"Tell me what?" Alex's voice came from behind us suspiciously.

I looked behind me to see Alex as he watched both of us curiously.

"Shit are you guys cheating on him?" Ronan with his dry humour tried to make a joke.

Alex scoffed and looked at Ronan dryly, "The only thing Katrina would leave me for would probably be ballet or chocolate." Alex said with a tone full of humour as he winked at me.

My cheeks reddened as I watched him while I felt so much love in my heart. I love the way he trusted me and I adore him for who he is.

"Ronan, if you seriously think I'd cheat on Alex with any other foolish mortal in general, you really don't know me. Look at Alex and all of you other losers on this planet. There's no comparison." I stated cockily as I tossed my hair back and smirked.

"Hey!" Thomas yelled with mock offence as Daniel and Ronan both gave me wounded looks.

Drama queens.

Alex laughed as he came back to sit down next to me and kissed the side of my head.

"Okay back to this, what's this about."

Oh god here it goes.

Thomas uncomfortably glanced at me again as I stared back.

This went on for another minute.

Why are we — oh does he expect me to say it?

I scoffed as I looked at him and shook my head.

"I'm just gonna say it because if I don't, you'll regret it. We all will. She's not going to tell you herself because you both just don't talk anymore." I said and turned my body to face Alex as I gripped his hand.

"Cassandra's sick Alex."

I felt his hand tighten though his expression barely changed.

"I didn't want to be the one to tell you but you needed to know so — "

"I know Katrina. I've known since you tried to get me to talk to her."

I'm sure my expression must convey that ik shocked as he continued while pulling me into his body.

"We'll talk about this later." He said and I agreed knowing that it wasn't the right time. He would tell me alone.

"Oh no we'll get going. It's almost ten pm." Violetta stated softly as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

I gave her a hug and said my goodbyes to everyone as they left.

I went towards Alex and hugged him immediately. He held onto me and kept buried his face into my hair as he picked me up.

I sat in his lap and tucked my head under his chin as I ran a hand through his hair.

"I should've known that you knew but I just didn't know how to bring it up."

"It's okay. I've been checking up on her situation too. I knew from when you randomly kept asking me to talk to her when you usually let me do my own thing. That's when I realised something was up. I'm her neurosurgeon baby. She just doesn't know it."

I rub his back comfortingly as I encourage him to speak.

She's his sister, that matters to me if it matters to him.

"I just could never really let her be alone you know? She called my father Katrina. All those years ago, she was the reason everything bad stopped. To make it easier for you to understand, she was my Mia back then. I will always love her but not the same way because she lost my trust. We caught the tumor early so there's a very good chance she'll be okay. The neurosurgeon she's been talking to is an associate of mine so I've made sure he goes through everything with me first. She made mistakes but I know she's trying to make up for them and who am I to judge her?" He smiled down at me.

"She will always be my little sister and I'll never stop looking out for her but I realised that our lives are seperate. I'm going to talk to her soon. I don't expect you to have to deal with this Katrina. She may have apologized to you but what she did was fúcked up and — "

"No Alex. Listen. You know I have no problem telling anything as it is but this time I don't actually feel anything towards her. It's like, I don't hate her but I don't like her either. I love you Alex and no matter what you do, I've got your back. I just wanted you to know all the facts and she's honestly not that bad if I ignored all the stuff that's happened. She's just like us so I'm not even bothered that way. We're messed up in our own way and she is too. I'm just gonna be there. That's it. I don't think I'll do anything at all. Maybe one day we'll all be okay but now can we stop this so that you can fuck me to death please, pretty plah — " I squeal with delight as he started to tickle my tummy after hearing what I said at the end.

"You're incorrigible aren't you?"

"Just please! I'm going to end up dying at this rate Alex. I'm not sick anymore and I'm just a horny idiot that can't get enough of you. I don't know how you're holding back — "

"Trust me you don't even want to go there." He stated darkly as his eyes scanned me with lust.

"I swear to god if this hurts you — "

I interrupt him as a wave of emotion overcomes me.

"You know how much you mean to me right?" I sniffled. All jokes aside, he was everything to me. He was there for me every single day and he never complained. He loved me at my best and my worst and I didn't know if I'd ever be able to show him how deeply I felt for him the way that he had over the years.

I needed him to know that I would die for him and do anything for him the way I know that he would for me.

It was so important to me for him to always know.

"Fúck baby, come here."

What the fuck's wrong with me? I'm trying to stop my tears but I just can't.

He holds me to him and rubbed my back as he watched me let everything out, never telling me to stop or to talk.

He understands. He feels everything with me.

I was so emotional and dramatic these days. I just wanted him to know though. Even if I sounded stupid or annoying.

I always wanted him to know. I would show it and tell him. It was the only thing that mattered.

He kissed my cheek lightly and cupped both of my cheeks in his hands.

His grin made me flush as he watched me intently and exhaled loudly with a laugh.

"You're adorable, you little minx."

He wouldn't be laughing at me in a minute.

I smirked as I grabbed his hard on and looked directly into his eyes.

His eyes widened with shock as he failed to hide his lust for me when he growled and snapped, losing all control.

"You asked for it."

Oh yes I did. Is the last thought that crossed my mind before he picked me up and carried me in his arms princess style.

Oh god he's still being careful.

I tease him to try to piss him off as I rub his cock through his pants.

He swiped my hands away with a snicker and smacked my bottom hard knowing that I didn't want him to treat me like some damsel in distress.

I wanted his everything and I know I got it that night.

Every single night was bliss after that day.

It was him, how could I not be on cloud nine?

He always kissed my hair in the morning when he thought I was asleep and threw me over his shoulder when I was too lazy to get up and brush my teeth.

He understood me like no other. He was mine.

Maybe I was a pretty girl but all that mattered was that I was his girl.
