Saving Aliyah (editing)

12

-Aliyah Cameron-

I'm cursed, definitely, because why am I still sick? It's Wednesday, I was sick Sunday.

I've taken disgusting ass medicine and I've been sleeping too much, I've cried too.

My door opens "I'm going to my office, if you'd like, you're welcome to come." He says, I nod my head, I don't want to be alone right now.

I grab my phone and a book so I don't bother him while he's doing what he needs to do

he waits there for me, watching my every step before leading me to his office

Never realized he had an at home office honestly, but the room is big, there's a couch, bookshelves, his desk and whatever else he needs in an office

I sit on the couch, admiring the office "your office is nice, and very big" I say, Alastair lets out a small chuckle "did you actually almost laugh?" I say

He rolls his eyes "am I not allowed?" He asked, I shrugged "I don't know, are you?" I say

Alastair goes to his desk, doing whatever he needs to, I open my book covering myself a blanket on the couch

⋆⭒˚.⋆

I'm almost done with the book, but I'm bored now, I out the bookmark in and sigh, Alastair is now wearing glasses?

"I can tell you're staring." He murmurs not looking up from the page he's signing.

"I'm not staring" I claim, Alastair hummed "yeah? You're still starting, Aliyah." He's now looking at me, in the eyes.

"I think you're delusional."

"Delusional?"

I nod my head, Alastair puts his pen down, crossing his arms "so, each comment I made where you would blush and get flustered, was me being delusional?" He questions

I nod my head "yeah, very delusional" I smile, Alastair nods his head, getting out of his seat, walking to me.

"You think I'm delusional sweetheart, yes?" He says looking down at me, tilting my chin up, I swallow the lump in my throat

"Don't go quiet on me now, amore." Alastair leans in, his lips dangerously close to mine.

The kiss he places, was near my lips. "Mi sto innamorando pericolosamente di te, tesoro." He murmured before pulling away (I'm falling dangerously in love with you, sweetheart.)

"What does that mean?" I asked him, Alastair's lips tilt into a smirk "one day maybe I'll tell you" he says "I like being in here." I tell him

"You do? He says and I nod "you're welcome to come in whenever I'm working home, yes?"

I nod my head "I'm starting to think you like me" I grin, Alastair looks at me "se solo lo sapessi" he whispers (if only you knew)

My phone goes off breaking the silence, making me jump "are you okay?" Alastair asks, I nod

No caller ID

Stranger. "Who was that." Alastair asks, I look at him "I don't know" I mumble, he glares at my phone.

Jaw tight, along with his fist being clenched, jealousy. Alastair goes to say something but the door opens with a slam.

"We have a pro- why is she in here." The blonde girl asks, glaring at me, her brown eyes stare at me.

"per l'amor di Dio, sii rispettosa, Selena" Alastair pinched the bridge of his nose (for the love of God, be respectful, Selena)

Selena rolls her eyes "give me a minute, yes? Claire should be home soon, use my card to order dinner if you two want." He grabs his wallet.

Handing me a black credit card.

⋆⭒˚.⋆

Claire and I didn't order dinner, we're making pizza right now, she's teaching me how

She's opening up to me more now, it makes me happy she's starting to trust me more than she did.

"Selena is like that, I don't know why, but she is." Claire mumbled, I nod my head "I don't think she likes me" I say, Claire shrugged

"She doesn't really like anyone" she says opening the oven, we put our pizzas in the oven.

⋆⭒˚.⋆

By the time Alastair finally comes down the pizzas are done and cooking off now "oh, hey, we made pizzas" I smile, he looks at me and nods. Not saying anything.

Being his usual grumpy self right now, Even though he was just in a good mood.

Selena's comes down and the walk to the front door, did I say something wrong?

When he comes back the expression on his face is different, calmer. He walks over to me "how are you feeling?" He asks, I shrugged "better" I say, he nods

Claire and I go to grab the pizza now that it's cool enough, and set it down on the table, we go to eat it for dinner, personally I think mine is better "but why is the pepperoni in a heart?" Alastair asked

I shrugged "I didn't wanna make it scattered so I made it pretty" I smile, he nods his head slowly before cutting my pizza.

⋆⭒˚.⋆

Once we're done eating I go upstairs and start getting ready for bed, but then my phone goes off

No Caller ID

Flashes over the phone, my eyebrows furrow in confusion, this was the fourth time today they called. Grabbing the phone, answering it.

"Hello?"

Breathing. In and out, in and out

"Who is this?"

More breathing. In and out, in and out, in and out, in and out.

"I've missed you a lot, baby"

No. No. How did he find me? This is a new number, so how does he have it now?

Tears pool in my eyes, because why, why is this happening, this shouldn't be happening.

His breathing is heavy. In and out, in and out, over and over and over again, until it's engraved in my mind.

Why is he calling me? What does he want from me this time?

Why did Elliot call me.

Idk why this chapter is short, but I have a headache so yeah

Selena😒

My headache is annoying me
