Break Me Again

Chapter Twenty One - Break Me Again

I stifled a smile when Alec took the island seat next morning.

Don't be a creep, Scarlet.

"Morning," I muttered as I busied myself in collecting some bacon on my fork.

"Morning," He replied nonchalantly while typing something on his phone.

I stole a glance at him. He seemed to be in his serious work mode, frowning at his phone as usual. Sometimes, I pity the poor device.

He placed the phone down and started eating his breakfast.

"Alec?"

"Yes?"

"We're leaving tomorrow, right?"

"We are."

"So can we go somewhere today?"

He paused eating and looked up at me. "I've got work."

"After that?"

He thought for a moment.

"Please," I batted my eyelashes at him.

He raised a brow at me and opened his mouth to probably decline but the ringing of my phone cut him off.

I looked down and a smile formed on my lips.

"Hi, Lily," I spoke.

"Hey, Scar. How are you?"

"I'm good. You tell me."

Alec resumed eating while I talked on the phone.

"I'm awesome. You're coming back tomorrow, right?"

"Yep I am."

"Eeeep," I could hear her clapping her hands. "There's so much catching up to do. I don't care if it was your honeymoon but I want every single detail, okay? Like did you get lucky with that gown? Oh My God! I'm so excited to hear every-"

"Eww Lily. Shut up," I tried to make a face but found a blush forming on my cheeks, remembering that night, and Alec sitting right infront of me wasn't helping at all.

"Hey," She complained. "I helped you get ready. You owe me that."

"I'm sorry but I refuse to be your porn dictate," I rolled my eyes.

Alec cut a glance at me and I resisted the urge to slap myself.

Porn dictate? Seriously?

Could have said smut, bitch.

I offered him a smile but he just continued eating his breakfast.

"Aww you nasty little thing," She cooed into the phone and I rolled my eyes.

"Let's talk later, Lil," I gritted my teeth.

She burst out laughing. "Hold on for a sec, Scar. I called for something else."

"Oh. What is it?"

"What's up with your boyfriend?"

"My boyfriend?"

Alec looked up at me.

"I mean your ex boyfriend, Scar."

"Ben?"

My eyes grew wide for a moment, realizing that I was giving Alec a wrong idea.

His eye twitched while my mouth opened slightly, not knowing what to say.
