His Confession

chapter 27 Rent

Ryan drove back to his place and slept without changing his cloths. Coming few days Ryan was so busy in his work that he didn't realize that he was not giving Alexa much attention as he used to when he met her first day. six days has gone since the day he found note he found in his car. The next day he and Roman inspected the car to maybe find fingerprints or anything but he didn't find anything which means apart from the guys attacking him there was someone else following him, someone clearly unknown to him. As the days passed by he was starting to get more worried, Liam was in California trying to find as much as evidence as he can, Roman was doing his search on the men, Evan got the orders to use the third degree treatment to find who this men were and Ryan has been constantly checking the camera across the area to find any trace of Jhon. By far Liam found the photos and few other things in Jhon's apartment, Evan has interrogated one out of two men in the custody and found that there are many more like him and they came from different gangs from across the globe, Ace found that there were men from his gang involved in the stealing of shipment as well as men from italian mob. Ace still has to find the leader of this mysterious mob but he also yet has to mend his situation with Italian don. There were lots of things going on at once in Ryan's life which made him realize that Alexa's arrival in his life has stirred his heart in a different way. He never did anything like this for anyone. He saw her make his favorite food from him, staying awake late at night untill he came back from Roman's place, she missed dinner sometimes because he didn't eat. There were lot of things Alexa did that he noticed but he didn't have the courage to speak in front of her that he loved her.
Alexa tried her best to make him happy or to make him notice her she made him his favorite dishes, she sometimes stayed awake untill he comes back and then act like she is asleep when he came to check her. But since the day they kissed he kept going out at 10 pm at night, come back late in morning. As the days passed by she was convinced that he didn't like her anymore and he is doing a favour. she later found that there was a place downtown with two bedrooms and a nice hall which was on sale. She had saved money for herself and before her dad left with cassie he had given her some stacks of cash she chose some amount from the money she had and put it in the envelope and decided to give it to Ryan and soon she will meet the owner of the house that she saw was on sale. Sometimes she even wore dresses in which she was uncomfortable in just so that maybe he notices her and atleast talk to her but it was all in vain. He never did once noticed her. She thought she was being clingy to him afterall he was nothing to her then her friend. She was so sad to leave him, that was the first time in her life when someone, a man actually liked her and actually took care of her except Liam but she was left heartbroken because he didn't like her or so she thought. She almost broke down in tears when she thought that she did so much for him and he didn't even give her a second glance and left without even seeing anything and everything she did for him. She now done with all of this, she clinged to the little hope that she had in heart somewhere but it all ran out yesterday when she prepared his favorite dish chicken with curry and some tacos that she spent all evening trying to make and he came home and told her that he was not hungry and then left to meet with his friends. she lost her appetite watching him leave without even seeing what she made, she gave everything she made to the guards securing the mansion. Today was no different Alexa skipped her lunch and kept working in her cabin. She took the envelope and knocked on his door.
" Come in." Ryan said expecting Roman or Evan with some good news after six long days of hardwork but it was Alexa. He noticed she had an envelope in her hand which confused him.
" Ohh, it's you." Ryan said as he saw her.
" Yes, umm ... you were expecting someone else ?"
" Kind off. Nevermind.  Is there something you need ?"
" yes. Um... I wanted to give this to you. " Alexa said handing the envelope to him.
" What is it ?"
" Rent. Me and Liam are staying in your place without worrying about anything I know how hard it is to earn money to keep the house going. And you don't have to worry about anhthing just few more days, i have found a place for me and Laim to stay; it is a good place and i have been saving some money also dad gave me some cash so you don't have to worry anymore besides now Liam will be staying with me so there is no problem of someone kidnapping me...I am rambling. " Alexa's whispered the last part to herself which Ryan heard. Ryan was shocked to hear that all this time she was planning to move out of his place. This thing went too far he thought.
" Alexa come have a seat with me." he said taking the envelop and handing it back to her.
" Huh ? Is it less ? Of course it is, I should have known. I'll pay as much as you say."
" Why would you think that you need to pay for staying at my place ?"
" Because i think that you think you have to help us or me because my father gave you training and as to return the favour you have to do this or maybe you don't want to be  disrespectful to my father. But let me tell you it's completely alright if you don't want us to stay by your place and--"
Ryan couldn't take it anymore he leaned forward and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. Alexa pulled back and turned her face away from him she didn't want another heart break one was enough to let her know what he thought about her.
" No !! I won't fall for this once again. I won't kiss you back so that you can run away again from me. I am not a mistress, I don't like how things change after we kiss. I don't like how YOU change after this. I do everything in my power to make you notice me. I wear new cloths, i make-- * hiccup * --make your favorite dishes which i spend all evening making for you and you don't even give a glance at it. If you want me just for this than I don't want it. Every night i wait for you and you don't even give me some attention. I know i am no one to you but before you kissed me you gave me attention, heck you even got me flowers and you complimented me but after it you don't even look at me. Am i that bad kisser or is it that you lost interest in me. I was so sad last night but you were not there, Li was not there no one was there for me i cried to sleep but no one came to me-- *sniff * --I felt like was back in that apartment with Jhon. I was so scared. " She said all the while crying.
Ryan kept rubbing her back while she took all her anger out on him and he realized what she felt all these days while he and Liam were away from her. He realized that she felt alone and it was all because he left her alone.
