If Love Was Forced

Chapter 27: I Hate And Love You

As his lips touched mine, I felt an electric feeling rush through my body and suddenly I kissed him back. My mind said no, but my heart said yes.

Suddenly I came back to my senses.

I pushed him away and he looked shocked.

"How dare you?" I shouted at him as we wiped his lips, looking at me.

"I missed you." He spoke, and I looked at him and he reeked of alcohol.

"Alejandro, are you drunk?" I said I was furious and he nodded and suddenly pulled me into a hug. Suddenly, Dante approached us running.

"What happened to him?!" I said I was trying to push Alejandro away.

"I'm so sorry Camila, he was drunk." He explained and sighed.

"Help me," I ordered, and he took Alejandro and placed his arms on his shoulder.

"Camila, I want you to come home," Alejandro whispered and suddenly tried to push away Dante.

"Camila, he's not coming if you don't," Dante said, and I sighed.

"Fine, I'll go get something first," I said, and he nodded, taking Alejandro to the car.

I quickly went inside and took my bag and told Kathrine that she should lead the event since I had an emergency.

I walked back outside and went to the exit and Dante was waiting for me.

I said "Thanks," and sat inside, I sat inside. I saw Alejandro sitting there with a bottle of wine in his hands.

I quickly took it away from him and placed it at my side.

"No drinking for you," I said, and he smirked and abruptly grabbed my wrist.

He pulled me to his chest and closed his eyes, please don't sleep.

Then as I wished that he closed his eyes and leaned his chin on my hand, I sighed and ordered Dante to drive faster.

As we were lying there in silence, I could hear Alejandro's heart beating, as his arms brought warmth to me in his embrace. Was I falling for him?

No! Camila your not falling for him! Get a hold of yourself. You're taking him home because he's drunk.

My mind said and I sighed. It was quite comfortable being by his side.

"We're here, Mr. and Mrs. Huxley," Dante said, and he opened the door for me.

"It's Camila Romano Dante," I said and tried to help Alejandro up.

When we got inside the penthouse, we walked upstairs and went to his room.

I lay him down on the bed and suddenly he took my hand and pulled me to his face.

"Don't leave me, Love." He whispered and let me go.

Suddenly, as I was about to speak, someone came inside the room. It was a maid.

"Hi ma'am, do you need anything?" She asked and I looked ya Dante and signaled him to leave us.

He left, and I quickly opened the blinds and let the moonshine in.

I went to Alejandro and covered him under the blankets.

"Ma'am?" The maid asked and I turned around.

"Just get me some hot water and some headache medicine," I said, and she nodded.

Suddenly, as my hand brushed against Alejandro's forehead, I realized he was hot.

Oh my god, he had a cold.

I sighed and quickly went outside the room and went to the kitchen where I saw the maid from upstairs.

"Hello, please bring me a towel and a bucket with hot water. And some medicine for a cold, please. " I said, and she nodded.

I went back upstairs and grabbed my phone. I sat next to Alejandro and looked at him. Wow, I never thought I would be taking care of someone that I love and hate the most.

I sighed and placed my hand on his face. "Even if I hate you I would never leave you," I say surprised by what I said.

But my heart spoke that it was the truth, but I couldn't feel that way about him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We're done."

I said and gave the maid the tray.

"Thank you, "I added, and she nodded.

"Good night madam." She says and bows, and I nod.

Finally, his fever dialed down a bit.

I guess I'm sleeping in the chair. I took a book from his shelf, sat down in the chair, and started to read.

I suddenly felt sleepy and laid my head down and closed my eyes and I fell into a deep slumber.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sighed as I felt the morning sunshine on my face. When did my bed get so comfortable?

As I thought about that, I quickly remembered I was in Alejandro's place. I opened my eyes and I was on his bed.

I looked at my clothes and sighed in relief to see I was still wearing them. I looked at the clock and realized it was already 8 a.m.!

I quickly stood up and found my bag on the chair. I took it and as I was about to leave, I realized I had forgotten my phone, I quickly went to the chair where I remembered sleeping last night and started searching for it.

When I didn't find it there, I looked at the bed and groaned. I didn't find it there either, I massaged my temples as I felt a headache starting.

I stood up and crossed my arms over my chest, and suddenly I felt a hand on my waist. I looked back and saw it was Alejandro.

"Let me go. Where's my phone?" I say and push him away.

"Why are you texting Valentino?" He asked with a scary voice.

"Because he's my friend, now give me my phone. Also, you don't have the right to check my phone, " I said and glared at him.

"I do, I'm your husband, I see you still have your ring." He said and I quickly checked my hand. I thought I threw this trash away.

I looked at it and took it off. "I don't want to wear it. You're lucky I never divorced you, " I say, and he looks at me and chuckles.

"Okay, I'll give you your phone only if you have to breakfast me." He said, and I sighed, and suddenly I spotted my phone on the desk.

I walked past him and took my phone.

"Ciao Alejandro," I say in my Italian accent and closed the door on his face.

That was an adventure, I sighed and walked out of his place in a bad mood and with a late schedule.
