Love Conquers All

Chapter Seven

Alex's POV

"Oh look at me! Im Thomas Jefferson!" I plant my hands on my hips as I climb up onto the desk and glare across the room at Thomas.  He's on his phone with a bored expression, he cocks an eyebrow and gives a big sigh.

"You know, if you really want to insult me. You'll have to try harder Mr. Birthmark." His eyes slide to me and he streatches in his chair,yawning loudly.

I frown and look at my wrist, I rub my thumb over the crest and eyebrows furrow together . A pair of wings and a dog looking thing. It's been there my entire life, no one knows what it means. Believe me. I've tried.

"At least I don't look like I just had a quicky with a poodle in my office." I smirk at him and his eyes snap to me. His hair falls out easily, he's no where near going bald, the hair grows back as fast as it falls out. But if you just walk around the office you can find little Thomas hairs everywhere.

"At least I can get laid." I scoffs and sets his phone down. "Unlike some of us..."

"At least I have a son that cares about me!" I huff and he freezes like I just stabbed him right between the shoulder blades. There's the chink in the armor I was looking for.  I jump down from the desk and slowly stalk twoards him. "At least I know where my parents are, at least I have friends that love and will be there for me. Someone decided to have a son with me because she loved me enough, and let me keep him when she baild on me. I have family and friends. You have no one. No one loves you. "

"I never once hit you like that, Hamilton." He growls and stands up. His shoulders are ridged and body shaking from tension. "I hate you as much as you hate me, but I never once took a dig at your past like that. I know we all have difficult pasts, that's why I dont dig that deep."

"Pass my plan."I glare at him.  His eyes widen and jaw slightly drops. He smiles and scoffs, shaking his head.

"You dig that deep just to try and get me to sign your stupid little plan?" He laughs and looks at me. He angerily grabs a pen and grabs the bill, he scribles his name at the bottom of the paper and slams it down when he's done." There you go. Now leave me the hell alone."

He turns and marches out of the office , were those tears I caught in his eyes.  I hear the faint slam of the door and flinch, his office is all the way across the building in the other wing.

Well, he can cry his little heart out, if he even has one, all he wants too. I have my bill and thats enough to make me happy. I smile at it as I put it in my folder and start off to Washington's office. He finds me first.

"Sir!" I smile and extend the folder out to him, he looks less then amused.  He takes the folder and studies the document for a heart beat and a half before tucking it under his arm.

"Do you know why I just heard a door slam from across the office?" George cocks his head and sets his jaw." And who's slamming the door?" My smile drops and I slowly look down, then back at him.

"That was..uh... that was Thomas, sir." I lick my lips and rock on my heels. "And he's angry sir, we said a few angery words and I won."

"Alexander that was more then  'a few angry words '." He crosses his arms and shakes his head. " What the hell did you say to Thomas? I want to know exactly what you said, right now." I look down and shuffle my feet uncomfortably.

"I uh.... I said 'At least I know where my parents are, at least I have friends that love and will be there for me. Someone decided to have a son with me because she loved me enough, and let me keep him when she baild on me. I have family and friends. You have no one. No one loves you.'" Ouch. The words sound rough now even to my own ears. Washington sighs and rubs his face, pinching the bridge of his nose.
