It's A Promise

Chapter 4

*Vals p.o.v*

"what happened at school? Are you okay?" Alex asks worry dripping off every word, I smile slightly at him shaking my head, in an attempt to lie well. I lean my head against his chest.
"Nothing..i'm fine?" I shiver inwardly from the look he gives me. He sees right through me.. He holds me against his chest whispering encouragement to tell him the truth. 'Please just drop it..' He pulls me back away from his chest and stares at me for a moment, he sighs and pulls out his phone. He starts to call someone, realizing what he is trying to do I quickly try to snatch his phone, which rewards me with a soft growl. He wraps his hand around my wrist holding it away from him, he gives me a pointed look and continues to talk on the phone.

"Please..." My voice cracks and something crosses through those stormy eyes, but it vanishes before I can pin point what it was.

*Alex's p.o.v.*

I give Valerie a stern look and she instantly loosens in my grip.

"Please..." The tone in her voice draws a deep sorrow through me, and rattles me to my core. I quickly push my emotions away and turn my attention back to my phone with my in house doctor, 

'She's been with my family for a few years now, I wonder how her husbands been' i tune my attention back to my call.

"Could you come to my house? Miss Dubois is not feeling well. I need to know if she's okay." I explain to her, Valeries pleading gaze lingering in my mind. 

Over the phone she sounds tired and worn out. 'must be a late work shift for her'

"I'll be over as soon as I can." She says, I glance over at val and see her fidgeting with her hands, I motion her to me and wrap my free arm around her. I hold her to me tightly, like she could just vanish out of thin air.. a menacing shiver rushes through me.

It reeked.. the filth scattered floor rubbing up against my bare sweat dampened skin. Her poisonous purr spanning against my neck. My hands at her waist, pulling her plump hips into mine. Her thin fingers scrapping along my chest, dragging her hands back up my chest and over my shoulders, licking up my neck and sucking just under my ear. Shela her scent of sensual evenings of men wafting into my nostrils. I hate this.. this sweet pain.. of her body on mine.. I just want to forget..

"Thank you, please be as quick as you can." I respond strictly, she says her fare well and I hang up. Turning my head to val I kiss her forehead tenderly, she looks so frightened. I slowly begin kissing and rubbing her shoulders, I toss my phone onto a small couch near us and I grab her hand in mine and rub my thumb over her knuckles softly.
"It's very cold out today we should go get you changed into warmer clothes" I whisper, walking around her to crouch in front of her to meet her worried eyes. I place my palm onto her pink flushed cheeks. She doesn't say anything to me, but she leans her head towards my hand, making me smile slightly. 

"especially sense you decided to wear that.." I look her up and down, and pull at the light purple tube top she decided to wear.

'Why did I even let her get that outfit..' I mentally slap my hand onto my forehead. Valerie blushes and slaps my hand off her top, I smile and kiss her forehead.

I grab her hand into mine and lead her up the stairs and into our room, I show her to the closet and pull out a light creme colored sweater and thick brown leggings.
"Under garments are in the drawer to the left, my dove" I point to the dresser in the closet, she pads into the closet shyly, and opens the drawer. A small gasp leaves her mouth and I can't help but chuckle.
She turns to me holding a pair of matching light brown underwear that has lace that makes up the side of them, And matching bra. She quickly shuts the drawer and pads back over to me.
"Those look expensive.." she whispers holding the folded under garments. I run my thumb over her bottom lip and kiss the top of her head gently.
"I know dove" I hand her the outfit and walk with her over to the bathroom and move to let her pass in. She turns and looks at me sheepishly and I stare at her concerned.
"Val are you okay?" She blushes and tugs on my hand. I step forward, grabbing her face in my palms looking her over.
