The Good Girl and The Bad Boy

Chapter 11- Princess

I stare at the constant texts Wen has been texting through out the day, telling me not to stress about it and to take my time and such. I didn't really know how to reply. Its been 10 hours since I've read the text and I've read it over a hundred times. I keep thinking if I let him back into my life it will be ok, and we can forget what happened in the past. That's not realistic though, I have to think about what Alex would think of Alex would do if I was cool with Wen again.

"Babe, dinners ready." Alex comes in still wearing his dirty apron around his neck.

I sit down in front of tilapia on a bed of rice and vegetables, "So how was work?" I ask his as I dig into my meal.

"Horrible, My boss has been firing people because of budget cuts. " He tells me.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, Im scared, I'm next." He continues.

"Alex, stop, you're gonna be fine cause you got employee of the month!"

He scoffs. "Jeff was employee of the month last month, and he got fired."

"Yeah, but that was last month, don't worry." I try.

"Ok sure." He drawls, "How was your day?"

"Ok." I uttered, thinking about the texts.

"You have a rough day too?" He urges.

"I guess." I pull out my phone, I didn't want to keep anymore secrets form Alex. I hand him my phone to read the texts.

"What the fuck?" He whispers to himself as he reads it, "This guy doesn't know how to leave you alone."

"What do I do?" I see him rapidly typing on my phone, and I panic, "What are you doing."

"Oh nothing, just giving Wen a peace of my mind."

"What?" I get up to grab my phone, but he only puts it out of reach. "Alex! Stop!"

He puts his hands in the air, so I definitely couldn't reach it. I try jumping but it was no use. "Don't worry I'm not sending anything bad."

"Stop! Oh gosh Alex!" I plead.

"Annnnd send. Here you go." He smiles, handing me, my phone back

"Babe! Why!" I look down at my phone to see the text he sent.

Yo! Its Alex! Ya know Carly's HUSBAND. Yep. So I see you won't back off my girl. I see you said that you want to be "just friends" with her. but I know what that really means. I'm a guy too. So I know what just friends is. Your gonna lurer her in and then make a move on her. So you need to let her go. Its been 6 years and I know your hurt that she's gone and out of your life and I know you still love her, but she's moved on and you need to move on too. you can't keep chasing something you can't get. There so many fish in the sea. (cliche I know) SO good luck on your life, but Carly won't be accepting your offer.

"Why? Hm? Why?" I ask not really knowing what else to say.

"You should be thanking me. I did you a favor. That bastard will leave you alone now." He laughs.

"Right, right. You definitely-" My phone buzzes, "He texted me back."

"Oh, let me see." He rubs his hands together.

"No! I don't know what you'll you do next." I say playfully.

"I promise I won't do anything!" He grabs me from behind and looks over my shoulder at the text.

Well you're just controlling. Just like Trey. I want to hear her opinion, not yours. You may not like me, but you don't even know me. If Carly still wants to try out our relationship, then so be it. You can't control her. Ok?

"Ok, you should changed his name on your phone from Wen to Baby Bastard." He laughs, but I can tell its fake.

"Ha, yeah." I turn around to face him.

"I can't fucking believe that he compared me to Trey, I didn't fucking rape you or beat you, an- and I'm not controlling. I just care about you and your safety, you're my princess." He grabs my hand.

"No, no no. Don't call me that, please." I stress.

"What? I can't call you princess. I thought it suited you." He pulls me closer to him leaning for a kiss.

I push him away, "Please..."

"Ok, ok." He leans in again and I let him kiss me. I feel my phone buzz again.

Carly meet me at the park by Barns and Noble I want to talk to you without your husband over you shoulder.
