The Devil's Thirst Trap

Chapter 27

"I guess I can't even leave you alone for one second."

Zoey heard a deep, gruff voice that shocked her and which had woke her out of her drunken state.

She then lifted the bottom of the dress slowly without making any noise, as she reached for her gusset which have a knife held to it, she pulled it out slowly and then flung it at the intruder swiftly, but the intruder managed to catch the knife with his bare hands.

"Well... that's one way to greet an old friend...or boyfriend for that fact.", the gruff, sexy voice added as he threw the knife to one side and started to walk towards Zoey.

Her in widened in shock as she clasped her hands over her mouth.

"Oh my god...", she muttered softly under her breath. "Alex!", she shouted as she ran towards him, jumping on him and hugging him tightly. "I've missed you so much...", she added as tears filled her eyes.

Alex held her tight in his arms and carried her. "I missed you too baby.", Alex added as he softly kissed her cheeks.

"Wha...what are you doing here?", she asked as she got off him and wrapped her skinny arms around his muscular neck while playing with his curly black hair. "I thought you're not allowed to come back....", she trailed off.

"So you didn't want me to come back and instead you wanted to go out for parties?", he asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist and slowly danced with her. "Every man looked at you in the party.", he added as he bent down to her level and whispered in her ear.

Zoey's ears perked up in embarrassment and her eyes widened. "Y...you were there?!", she questioned in shock.

"Whose party do you think it was, all along?", he questioned her as he pulled his face away and start to smile smugly.

"It was yours...?", she questioned, all he did was nod. "She punched him playfully. "Why didn't you tell me, Alex?"

"I had to leave the party early to babysit someone's daughter.", he answered her as he tucked a strand of her loose hair behind her ear. "Damn.... This girl is very, very troublesome." he said as he emphasized the words 'very'. " She threw a knife at me, can you believe it?", he exclaimed.

"Oh shut up and stop whining. You deserved it.", she added quietly.

"I know...and that's why I'm here...These few days....wasn't easy without you...", he muttered softly. "I called your father...I told him that I couldn't keep to the deal."

"What?", Zoey said in shock as she pulled away from Alex to look him in the eyes.

"I made a new deal instead.", he stated.

"What is it?", she asked in curiosity.

Just then, Alex went down on one knee and pulled out a beautiful ring for her, which made Zoey claps her hands over her mouth in shock as small candles started to light up around them in the house, and the crimson roses around the two of them that was shaped as a heart became more visible.

"Alex....what it this...", she asked quietly as she started to look all around her.

"I made a deal with your father, I'm going to marry you.", Alex stated. "Zoey...I've never met someone who could change my life as you did, I'm grateful for it, and unfortunately, I'm selfish. I want more of you and I want you all for myself. Will you marry me?"

She froze. Then Zoey hugged him tightly.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!", she exclaimed in excitement. "I love you Alex... thank you so much.", Zoey added as she hugged him tightly, causing him to hug and embrace her too.
