Alexandra POV

It's been a week since she left, I'm not going to lie and say it was easy to say goodbye because it was weird saying goodbye to her. 

I didn't want her to go and she didn't want to go, so it was hard for the both of us. Tatum has stayed with Scarlett since Lizzie showed up. 

As I told Scarlett that I had a lot on my plate because of work and asked if it was okay for her to stay.

Scarlett and Colin were very understanding, but told me to watch out. That they'd ask me for that favour back. 

I told them whenever, wherever I will watch Rose for even a month if necessary. They laughed at me for that.

I had to distract myself though, but it was extremely hard. Lizzie had left on Monday, and I practically put my all into work for the last four days. 

I was rarely home, I was always in the office working. I'd only go home to sleep and that was it. And even when I was at home, I stayed in the guest room.

It felt illegal to sleep alone after spending that entire weekend with her in my arms. I don't understand what was happening. 

There was this connection, and not just any connection. A special one, okay that sounds lame.

I felt it the minute our lips had met outside of the club, the lingering kisses we'd share, the affection we shared. 

She always felt like my home, but this time it was different. It felt more familiar, more like a magnet pulling me to her.

The minute she walked to go onto the plane, my heart hurt. Seeing her walk away to go back to Atlanta hurt. 

It hurt more than anything in this world, okay maybe not as much as when I found out Leighton passed. But it still bloody hurt.

I knew that I had to figure out my feelings for her. I knew that I always had feelings for her, but these were harder feelings. These feelings were much different than a normal crush.

I slumped back in my desk chair as I stared off in the distance. The only thing that pulled me back was a knock on my office door.

I sat up slowly before saying, "Come in".

I watched as the idiot twins that I love to death walked into my office all excitedly. I just shook my head as they stood there with wide smiles.

"What're you both doing here?", I ask with a slight head tilt and they hum before going dead serious. 

"Ashley.. Mary-Kate", I say sternly and they both laugh a little as they broke from their serious mindset.

"We had a question for you, well not really a question. More like a please do this for us thing, so uh", Ashley says as she drags her twin to sit down.

"What's up with you two?", I ask back as I look at the two of them and MK smiles a little. 

"We really want you to come to the event that the article is about. We had sent invites to everyone in the family but we really, really want you to attend", MK says slightly nervous that I'd say no. I just looked at them as I hummed a little to myself.

"Maybe she'll be there?", I thought to myself before smiling. 

"Yeah fuck it, why not?", I tell them and they both looked at each other before smiling a little.

"Wait actually?", Ashley asks shocked that I actually said yes and that they don't have to drag my ass. 

I just laughed slightly at their expressions before saying, "I have nothing better to do.".
