Chapter 9

-Listen, Alex, it is not her!

-I know, but that still does not mean that i can't have her!

-You are obsessed. Why?

-I told you...

-Yeah, as much as i would like to understand what the heck, you always say that she was great in bed... But that is not the only reason! Tell me!

Ruby was his partner before, when they still had the house, and she wasn't in the building when the explosion happen.

-Ruby, you know, i won't.

-Yeah, but i want to understand why you are so obsessed!

-Just leave me, ok?

She left him alone, and Alex couldn't help himself but to check  CCTV just to see how Lilian had left. He was still angry about the cuffs, but... He was sure that he will get his hands on her.

-What a...?- Alex was more surprised when he saw Lilian standing in front of the club, and his phone rang.

-Hey, it's me, let me in, please, we need to talk.

The door opened and she came in, going directly to VIP zone, pressing all the right codes and soon she knocked on his studys door.

-Come in, it's opened.

Lilian stepped in, just one step.

-Hey,- she said in really quiet tone. Alex continued his work, putting papers in order.

-You wanted to talk?

-Uhm, yeah.

Alex stared at her and Lilian swolowed.

-I am listening.

-Im sorry,- she whispered.

-About what?- she stayed calm, for what she was certain, there was no way she could look him in the eyes like before.- come here and say it again.

She took one more step closer.

-Here. Now.- he orered and Lilian was next to him in a sec. - now, what did you want to tell me?

-I am sorry.

-Look me in the eye and say it one more time.

He watched her closely, as her face was red because of how ashamed she was.

-Now, if im not mistaken, i cannot really hear you...

Alex stood up, and Lilian felt like she was shadowed by a monument. She looked at him and was ready to say the truth.

-I feel stupid,- Alex watched her with hungry eyes,- i am sorry. Indeed i am. But the problem is... I was...

-Scared?

-Not ready.

-And?

-I like you.- she said,- i do like you, and i mean, a lot. And i will totally understand if you would never wanna see me again, after i left you on that bed.

She took his metal arm, which he always was hiding in his pocket, and kissed the knuckles.

-Do you?

-Yeah. Im honest. Thank you for letting me in, i needed this.

She smiled and stepped back, turning around and going straight to doors, when she was stopped.

-Not so fast!

Alex grabbed her by her waist, pushing her close to his already hot body. His lips brushed against hers and they kissed.
