The Seductress

Chapter 8

"Who was that"I asked ,since my curiosity was getting the better of me .

"No one in particular",he brushed it off and slid casually into the driver's seat of the car and shut the car door.

"Mm,it didn't look like a no one to me ",I pressed

He looked at me skeptically ,"Were you looking at us the whole time ?"

I shrugged "I mean what was I supposed to do ?"

"You were basically flailing your arms around like the man had said something ridiculous",I added

"I see",he nodded and drove the car out of the hospital parking lot and unto the main road.

"Do you want to get food before we get home love ?",he suggested.

I nodded.That wouldn't be bad at all I thought, considering how hungry I was ,I could basically eat a whole elephant at this point.

After being on the road for some time ,he made a stop at a small Italian restaurant ,and at the parking lot.

We got out and entered the restaurant.
It was a homey Italian restaurant and an old woman came out to greet us as we entered and ushered as to a table for two at one part of the restaurant.

To say I was surprised was an understatement, first was the strange man who met us at the hospital and then the owner of this restaurant also decides to come out an greet us .
Wait ,why did I assume she was the owner? Because she looked like she was ,I can't explain.

Who was Marcus actually?, I thought.

"Is the food to your liking,Alexa?",Marcus said staring at me with an amused expression while I struggled to respond between mouthfuls of delicious pizza.

"The man you saw earlier works for me Alexia",he said so quietly i almost missed it.

I swallowed quickly"so you're some sort of crazy rich guy then?"I said with one eyebrow raised.

He stared at me silently , placed one palm over the back of the other and positioned it under his chin and smirked.

"Wouldn't you like to know",he said chuckling to himself quietly and lowered his hand to pick up a slice of pizza.

"Of course,I would,Marcus ",I rolled my eyes.

"What did you do ,Alexia?",Marcus said menacingly.

I gulped audibly .I think Marcus didn't like whatever it is that I just said or did .Was it the eye roll?or it was how i ate my pizza because if it was the latter then i agreed with how annoyed and scary he looked right now.

"Don't roll your eyes at me ever again Alexia",he snarled .

"But what's wrong with-",

"Take this as your first warning,maybe I won't be so lenient next time",he threatened and signaled the waiter for the bill.

I scoffed,if he thought he could boss me around then he had another thing coming.

Marcus paid for the bill and helped me out of my chair since I was still feeling weak and we proceeded to exit the restaurant taking some of the pizza we asked to be packaged home as well.

Well I actually asked for it to be packaged specifically and Marcus didn't complain either.I mean how could he?I would've smacked him right across his handsome face for refusing.

He got up from his seat and moved over to mine so he could help me get up since I was still weak .

As we exited the restaurant he lessened his hold on me so he could retrieve the car keys from his pant pockets and open the car and readjusting his hand on my waist ,he helped me take steady steps and get seated in the passenger side of the car.

He got in after me and we drove home.

The house was just as I remembered leaving it , save for a few empty cans of energy drinks on the kitchen counter .Apart from that, everything else was evidently clean and suspiciously spotless too might I add.

I padded quietly towards my room so I could get some well needed rest and I could feel Marcus's presence behind me to offer support in case I fainted again,I pressumed.

"You don't have to be trailing behind me like a lost puppy all day,Marcus ",i remarked , pausing in the middle of my stride up the stairs.

"Well ,I want to ",he replied quietly from behind me making me shiver with how close he was to me.
Snaking his arms around my waist he lowered himself and kissed the side of my head lightly.

"Now let's go get some rest ",he said ushering me towards my room.

I had a quick shower and came back to meet Marcus clad in nothing but his boxer shorts and a shirt sprawled on the bed .

"I thought you'd never come out",he remarked, raising himself to look at me .

"How are you feeling? ",he asked gesturing to my head .

"I'm great ,I guess,it happens all the time,these migraines,I'm used to them actually",I explained carefully.

"I see",he thought.I could tell he had more to say but something was preventing him from saying it ,was it about my parents perhaps ?,or maybe about my health , probably thought it was an intrusion of privacy.

"Alexia",he called , snapping me out of the back and forth I was having with myself.

He made a come here motion with his middle and index finger and obediently I walked towards him taking slow and steady steps with my towel bound tight around me ,since I didn't want to fall on my butt as sometimes did.

Normally I wouldn't care because it'd be only me watching but here lies the case where I had a god watching me ,I couldn't make any mistakes.

"Good girl",he praised as I stood Infront of him .

"Drop the towel",he commanded,making my mouth drop open .

"I- ,what?",I stammered.

"You heard me Alexia",he said calmly while rolling up his sleeves and resting his forearms on his large as life thighs when he was done.

I stood frozen.

"Well ,I pressume you wouldn't mind me doing it for you then "
