Mean Werewolves

Chapter 58: Met Her

Narrator's POV

Alexa and Lauren did not discuss what they discussed on Halloween night anymore. They got back to their life like first few months after getting married. Lauren did her stuff, and Alexa focused on her stuff. They still shared the same bed and bedroom. They would attend business dinners or family parties when needed but did not have intimacy in bed. Alexa would kiss Lauren in public. She would also hug Laurena during the sleep, but that's all. They did not make love. They did not fight. They did not hate each other. They just simply lived their life like that, married but not intimate, season after season.

The city turned Christmassy in winter. Camila, Dakota, and Sasha decided to go shopping on Friday afternoon after leaving the office. At the shopping center, they ran into Alexa, who also enjoyed shopping for Christmas, too. Camila wanted to avoid Alexa, but it was too late. She was glad that she was not alone. Dakota and Sasha made her feel safe, especially Dakota whom she believed would protect her if Alexa was being annoying.

"Hey, girls!!" Alexa was more surprised to see Dakota.

"Hi!" Camila and Sasha greeted Alexa.

"Hey, Alexa!" Dakota greeted Alexa back.

"You two are going strong?!" Alexa teased Dakota and Camila, who only smiled.

"We are!" Sasha replied with a joke.

"Camila! Are you free tomorrow?" Alexa asked out of the blue, which shocked Camila.

"Tomorrow?" Camila slightly looked at Dakota.

"Yes, there's something that I want to discuss with you," Alexa said.

Camila frowned, thinking what could it be. "I am afraid I have to turn you down. I have promised my mother to help her out." Camila thought fast. She indeed had to help her mother tomorrow due to a customer wanting to celebrate her birthday at the cafe. "But we can talk over the phone or messages."

"It's better to talk in person," Alexa replied.

"May I know what is it about?" Camila asked.

Alexa looked at Dakota and then Sasha before she looked back at Camila, "I can't say it now. Can I call you tonight or tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah, sure!" Camila hesitated, but she could not reject Alexa since they agreed no bad blood between them after that day when they fought. "Is it business related?" Camila was curious.

"We can call it that way if you want." Alexa smiled. "I have to go now. Bye, girls! Enjoy your shopping!"

"Bye!" They said before Alexa turned around and left.

Camila got nervous, thinking what Alexa wanted. It was not only Camila, Dakota and Sasha also wondered what Alexa wanted from Camila. Sasha surely had no idea since she only knew that Camila and Alexa knew each other from college. Meanwhile, Dakota, who knew a lot of things, could not discuss it with Camila because Sasha was with them. Dakota texted Camila, telling her not to worry about Alexa. She would be there if Camila needed help. She would not mind accompanying Camila to meet Alexa if Alexa insisted on meeting Camila.

.

A week later, a week before Christmas, Alexa was waiting for Camila by the lobby of the building where Camila's office was located. She could not get Camila to meet her so she came to Camila. Camila didn't want to meet Alexa if Alexa did not tell her why she wanted to meet her and what she wanted from her. Alexa only told Camila that they needed to meet and talk about it in person. As a result, Camila did not want to meet Alexa.
