Personal affairs

Chapter 20

Ronnie's POV

I wake up seeing the sunshine coming through the sheer curtains of the hotel room, I look over and see Alexandra sleeping peacefully, her back fully exposed with the blanket covering her front and waist. Her long dark hair draping across the pillow perfectly as if she was a painting.

Last night couldn't have been any more perfect, I know there were a few times I could tell she wanted to say the safe word but she managed to overcome whatever signals her brain was trying to send her. I'm glad she feels safe with me, that's all I ever wanted for her was to be safe happy and taken care of and now that she's mine I can finally do that for her and maybe even show her as well as show myself what love really feels like.

I slip outta bed carefully trying not to wake her, and head to the bathroom and crack the door. I take a quick shower and brush my teeth and throw my hair into a bun. Sometimes I miss the short hair but then remember long hair is definitely better.

I throw on my usual outfit and hear my phone ding from the bedside table. I check it and see that max had messaged me.

-hey man, wanna grab some breakfast with us? Prolly gonna hit the town afterwards for a little bit.-

I read the message and think about it, maybe it won't be so bad, and maybe I can spoil my beautiful sleeping beauty, I hope she won't be mad or think I left early because of last night. I decide to message max back telling him I'll meet him downstairs in a few minutes then take one more look at Alexandra smiling to myself before leaving the room.

The feelings she is giving me are indescribable and I hope she always makes me feel this way, I feel myself becoming happier less stressed all the time more comfort within myself and my heart.

Alexandra's POV

I awoke to an empty bed, no Ronnie in sight. I sit up and check the time seeing it's nearly noon and sighing rubbing my head reminiscing over the events that happened last night. I get out of bed and go to the bathroom using the toilet before finally catching myself in the mirror, my make up had been taken off but I don't remember it being taken off, all I remember is going to sleep with Ronnie and pretty much waking up this morning.

I shake my head there's no way Ronnie cleaned my face off last night, he was asleep all night, well that I can think of anyways, I would have totally felt him rubbing my face with a make up wipe and woken up, then I remember I took a little blue pill that flipped my world upside down and around a few times. I begin washing my face properly and decide I don't want to do a full face of make up I'd rather let my face breathe.

I apply a few face oils and brush out my eyelash extensions then add just a little bit of lip gloss, I toss my still curled hair from last night around a little so the curls fall just right. I slip on my light colored ripped skinny jeans and a white tank top, pretty different from my usual all black outfits.

As I'm sliding on my white and red Jordan 1's I hear my phone ding two different times and go over and pick it up. One message from rayne and the other from an unknown number who I obviously know who it is.

- hey girly, wanna hang out for a bit? The boys went out so I figured we could hit up the nail shop and grab lunch afterwards- rayne

I message her back saying a quick yeah of course then go look at the other message as another one came through

- revenge is sweet, but to hear you beg me not to is sweeter-

- tik tok tik tok the clock chimes faster, is the fear too much for you or do I have to make you turn blue-

My anxiety spikes and adrenaline courses through me but I shake it off as best as I can and meet rayne downstairs.

" hey gorgeous! Ready to go?" She asks with a smile giving me a small hug

" yeah, uhm can we maybe have a security guard with us? I'd just feel safer since Ronnie isn't around.." I tell her softly looking around as we make it outside

" yeah sure I can call down one of them, is everything okay?" She asks me grabbing my arm slightly but I flinch at the motion and shake my head pulling away from her

" Milo messaged me again.... Saying the clock was ticking faster hence he's getting closer.." I tell her and she sighs placing her hand on her forehead pulling out her phone getting ahold of one of the security men

My anxiety peeks and my heart races I honestly wish I would have just stayed in the hotel room, that way I know no one can get in without a key.

" okay security is coming don't worry it's gonna be okay, you have me the whole band and Ronnie and I know that man very well, he won't let Milo get away with anything." She says reassuringly but she doesn't know Milo like I do

He has his ways, he will find me and he will be sneaky about it, hell for all I know he could be at every single show hiding amongst the crowd or coming to every hotel and asking if the band stayed here. I want this man dead I want him to never be able to haunt me again but until then I'm stuck.

Security finally comes down and we get into the rental car heading off for the nail salon, as rayne rambles off what nails she's getting I can't help but loose myself to my thoughts, I'm probably just over thinking it but I have a bad feeling and I've always heard "trust your gut" and in this moment that's what I'm rolling with.
