HIS POSSESSIVE LOVE

Chapter 14

Having devoured our lunch, we got up from our chairs. With a sweet peck on my lips that totally made my knees, Alexander and I made way to his muscle car. I have to admit, this car totally suits his personality with all its masculine power and everything. He opened the door for me and buckled me in. I couldn't help but sass,"At least chivalry is not dead". He replied with a hot wink,"Never for you, my sweet". I totally swooned and I think even he noticed, if the smug expression was anything to go by.

Sooner than I wanted to, we reached my dorm and to be completely honest,I just wanted him to kidnap me like a caveman. I have lost my mind, I guess. We got out of the car and Alexander came and hugged me so tightly that I could feel our hearts beating in sync. We separated quite difficultly as if silently not wanting to let go of each other ever. But then the sound of people shouting broke our bubble and Alexander let go of me reluctantly but not without giving a very sweet kiss on my forehead.

"My sweet, be ready by 11 sharp. I'll come pick you up for lunch and then we'll go to my penthouse to have some alone time and for you to get pampered for the gala." He said. "Don't worry Alexander, I'll be ready. Just a heads up, be on time, I hate tardiness." I cheekily replied with my own wink. Ironic, given this morning.

"Of course baby, one thing you'll get to know about me is that I am never late." And with that he turned on his heel and left speeding on his car. Damn! I wanted to have the last word. Well, whatever let's just get today done and over with. I went to my room deep in my thoughts. Also Olivia and Serena will demand complete details. I groaned out loud and got some funny looks from the onlookers.

As soon as I reached my room, I threw off my heels which were getting kind of very uncomfortable. And changed into my PJs. All this while I couldn't stop my brain from dreaming about 'Him'. Ugh, tomorrow couldn't come sooner. My day dreaming spree was broken by my phone's ringing. The ringtone signifying that Serena was calling. Someone kill me now. Dreadfully, I picked up the phone.

"Hey Thena!!" Serena literally blasted into my ears.  "Happy much" I sourly replied. "Someone didn't get laid properly." She countered.

"I did not get laid at all. But let's no talk about that. Why did you call me?" I knew the answer already but still. "Come on, Thena I wanted all the sordid details about that hunk piece of meat. So humor me and just spill."

This was anyways a lost battle so I decided to spill everything knowing she herself will tell all this word to word to Olivia. "Well he is totally not how I had imagined. He is just so open about his feelings and direct. Like he wants something and goes for it straight. He is extremely possessive but somehow I love it and every small gesture he makes just melts me. I don't know what is it about him, I can't help but hope and dream for a future with him. Is it too fast? Please tell me its not too fast!!" I spoke in a rush.

I think I finally managed to stun Serena into silence because she didn't seem to reply for a couple of minutes and then she suddenly screamed. "Oh my god!!! You are absolutely in love!!I am so happy for you!! He is perfect" Somberly, she added. "Its not fast, just listen to your heart and go with the flow and rest leave it up to destiny." I wanted to deny her theory and reading but something held me back because somewhere deep down I had come to realize that I had fallen for him.

"You are totally right. I'll be careful. And go now, I know you are dying to tell this to Liv. So off you go. Also please don't ask but can you not mention all this to J!" I pleaded.

"Ok I won't but I need to know what's the deal later. Ok byeee!!" 

"Bye Serena!!" I sighed. Phew that took a toll on me. Now I cannot help but think if Alexander was being paranoid about J. Surely he cannot have such feelings about me! We have been friends for so long, I cannot even imagine such a thing without feeling grossed out.

With that I somehow passed my whole day and even dreamt about Alexander in my sleep. And restless I woke the next morning surprisingly energized and happy. Full of optimism, I performed my morning routine, taking extra care to remove any extra hair and leaving my body totally smooth. I was not hopeful but this was  called being prepared if something happened just in case.

It was quarter to eleven by the time I got ready. I just donned a simple crop top which showed my midriff along with tight jeans and my lucky pumps. I wore simple hoops as part of my jewelry and a nude lipstick for my makeup. I loved my casual look and I hoped he did too! Crossing the dorms, I saw that Alexander was already here and he was sporting a very casual yet hot look which was drawing a lot of scorching looks from the females and grudging respect from the males.

Ah, this man was everyone's fantasy and I felt a thrill go through me as I realized that this Adonis wanted me out of every other woman present here. Meeting me halfway, he kissed me tenderly drawing an utterly delighted gasp from me.I inhaled his cologne and his unique scent which was heady and making me drunk.  A girl could definitely get used to this. We got into his sports car and then he sped through the campus leaving everyone in awe. 

Breaking the comfortable silence I asked "Where do you live?" He replied in a modest murmur, " I have a place in Seattle but since I travel all over the world on business, I happen to have spaces in almost all of them." I was shell shocked. He took the meaning of rich to another level altogether. 

We chatted on different topics and the time passed in a blur and I saw that we had reached Seattle. After 10 minutes or so, Alexander pulled his car into the automatic garage of a high rise building and parked it in a private parking space under the letter P. Wonder what that means? Then we got out and took an elevator nearby. Alexander took out a shiny golden card and swiped it inside a slot and pressed the letter P again. Curious I asked him, "What is the P for?". He replied, "Penthouse."

"What!! You live in a penthouse?? That too in Seattle! Wow!" I couldn't hide my surprise  and continued, "How does the owner let you stay in the penthouse, what if he wants to live there?" Alexander chuckled and sweetly said, "Baby, I live in the penthouse because I own this building and all the 121 floors on it which my company uses and rents out." I think my jaw stayed on the floor only after that.

I am terribly sorry for this very late update. This is because of my very hectic college schedule but I will definitely make time for you guys. Please continue your love and support! Love to all!
