Her Second Chance

Chapter 7

Alex's POV

Mentally bizarre is what describes Luke O' Connor.How else can you describe someone you met in the space of a week, behaving as if he knows you.Famous people behave strangely.I mean I know me.I don't need someone telling me what to do.As for his statement about future wife.That is a load of bull if I've ever heard.He needs to get his head checked, and I need a shower.Yes thats what I need.A long hot shower, to clear my head of Luke O'Connor.I head to my room,and just as I'm about to walk into the en suite my cell vibrates.Indicating a message.The message reads.

'Another thing.Please dont cut your hair beautiful indian princess. I want to see how amazing you'll look under me with all that hair sprawled around you....Luke'

What the blady hell?Go eat dust Luke . It's my freakin hair, and i'll do as I please.Im so pissed at him.How dare he have the audacity to tell me what to do.Now I really need that shower, or maybe a punching bag with Lukes face on it.What makes him think that I will be under him in any way.He's got another thing coming.I was brought up with masala in my mouth, not a silver spoon.Heading to the shower I let the warm water relax my muscles, and ease my troubled mind.Maybe its a bad idea to go out with Luke.I have survived being alone for such a long time.Even though I was married toTodd. I still felt alone, so being alone is okay.No stress.But it feels so amazing to really laugh again.To kiss again.To have someone think you're beautiful.Even when you yourself dont.Damn you Luke O' Connor.Why did you have to be such an awesome guy? Or have such kissable lips.

After the long shower.I dress into jeans, t shirt, takkies and and a sweater.I grab my bag, and I'm about to leave the door,when I realise I did'nt take my cell.I head back inside, and luckily I did, because it starts ringing.From the caller id I realise its Jen.

"Hey Jen."

"Hey birthday girl.Sorry for calling so late.Did you enjoy breakfast?" She asks with a laugh

"Yes I did.How did you know?"

"Oh dont worry girl.Its all good.I just wanted to call and wish you a happy bithday, and dont worry I have your gift with me.Also to let you know if you decide to get your hair done, or a massage.I know a great place."

"Wow .That's awesome.Now I dont have to drive around.Thanks Jen."

"Youre welcome babe.I'll text you the address.Anyway I'll let you get going.Oh! I hope you enjoy your surprise.Gotta go.Chow." she says vibrantly

"Bye".

What a strange conversation.What is she on about?Surprise?Jen knows something about tonight.I think she knew about the breakfast as well.What is going on? I need to find out, but not now. No time to dwell on that.I head back to my car, and make my way to the city.

It doesn't take long to reach the city, and before I know it I'm at my destination.Jen texted me the address so I find the place easily.When I pull up at the entrance I almost decide against going in.Even from the outside the place looks exclusive.'THE ELEGANT' that's what it's called.I wonder if I'm even going to get seen to.Maybe I shoudnt have even come here.This place isnt for the likes of me. Damn! There I go again.Thinking like the old Alex.Well no wondering and doubting .I'm not the old Alex anymore. I jump out.Lock the car, and head inside.Wow! is all I can muster up.It is so upmarket, and busy.I walk toward a desk which I'm assuming is the reception, and at the moment unattended. I look around, and it's packed.I believe that I've come to late.This looks like a place that attends to prior bookings.I remain standing there hoping someone notices me, and just maybe there is an open spot.I wait there for a few more minutes, and just as I'm about to walk away, a young woman, about 20 walks towards me smiling.She continues smiling until she reaches me.
