Business With Lust

Chapter 42

Alexander's POV

"Alex" Diana groans. I ignore her.

She lets out a huff. "Let me go. I'm not your teddy bear" She tells me. I roll my eyes.

Diana's sitting across my lap, drinking her disgusting chocolate shit while I'm trying to work.

I genuinely dont know why she's complaining.

"Alex" She drags out my name. "What?" I ask her, turning to see her glaring at me. "Let me go" She orders.

"Awe, I love you too" I smile, turning back to my computer.

Diana says she doesnt want to be here, yet no one forced her to lean into my chest. She wants to stay here, she just doesnt want to feel useless. So she has to pretend for five minutes that she wants to leave, until she can eventually give up and assure herself she tried.

She sighs. "Fine. Ill stay" She mutters.

I smile. So predictable.

My phone rings, and I sit back in my chair, taking it out of my pocket and seeing Jay.

I answer it, bringing the phone to my ear while Diana occupies herself by rolling up my tie like a fruit roll up.

"What do you want?" I ask him.

"You need to come home" He tells me. I groan. "What now?" I sigh, causing Diana to look up at me curiously. I shoot her a smile, assuring her everythings fine.

"Its dad" Jay tells me. "What the fuck did he do now?" I groan. This guy. I say we save ourselves some time and shoot the fucker already.

"He's dying Alex. Come say your goodbyes" Jay tells me, before hanging up.

I freeze, my smile dropping in an instant.

"Alex?" Diana whispers, clearly seeing the change in my face.

Hes actually..dying..

This is good.

He deserves it. Hell, he deserves alot worse.

I just..didnt expect this today.

Sighing, I put my phone in my pocket. "I need to go" I tell her. She stands up quickly, still looking at me worridly.

"Is everything okay?" She asks while I stand up. "Fine" I mutter, before wincing at how cold that sounded. She looks taken back too, but brushes it off.

"Are you sure?" Diana mumbles. I hum, turning off my computer and grabbing my keys.

I walk over to the doors, Diana following close behind.

"Alex you dont seem-"

"Diana I'm fine" I snap, before freezing.

I sigh, running a hand through my hair before turning around to see Diana staring at me blankly.

"I'm sorry. I didnt mean to snap at you. I dont even know why I'm pissed, Ive been looking forward to this day since I was eleven" I mumble, taking her hands in mine and looking down at them.

"Its fine. But snap at me again and you owe me a hot chocolate" She tells me, and I smile, looking up at her to see her glaring playfully.

"Thats fair" I nod, leaning in and kissing her forehead.

"What's happening?" She asks, and I sigh. "Dads about to go slither back down to hell" I tell her.

She looks at me confused. "What?-"

"He's dying Diana" I tell her, and she looks at me surprised.

"Oh" She whispers, and I nod. "I know". I lean my forehead against hers.
