Falling For The Enemy

Chapter 45 (History)

'Alex,' I breathed out heavily as he moved his face to nuzzle into my neck and make it impossible for me to complete the simple act of breathing, 'I don't think we should do this right now.'

'Shh,' he silenced me by nipping teasingly at my ear as I surpressed the urge to moan loudly. My hands gripped his hair tighter but I pushed him away. He groaned and stole a quick kiss from my lips before I had the chance to protest then winked and slipped into his clothes. I smiled at his appearence in approval, a suit definitely enhanced his looks.

'My my going anywhere special?' I asked teasingly stroking the fine material of his jacket and straightening out his red tie. He peered down at me and flicked my braid.

'Nice touch,' I blushed and he continued, 'Actually I'm going to meet the owner of Pettyfer Industries,' he bit out after a moment stepping away from me and clipping on a pair of cufflinks followed by a personalised golden, diamond studded rolex. I continued to stare at him in surprise as he swept a hand through his perfectly tousled hair before turning away and setting it straight with a comb kept in his inside right pocket. I raised an eyebrow at his sudden change in behaviour. What happened to the guy crashing my car in a hoodie?

'Why?' was the only word I could manage to say as he swiftly put the comb away and turned to face me. Suddenly he looked a lot more professional then I had ever imagined possible. Digging his hands into his trouser pockets he squinted up at the ceiling then returned his gaze to me as if contemplating how to declare his next words.

'I got the deal...I got the shares and I need to go finalise it at the company's head with my...with Mr. Pettyfer,' he explained as I thought of how I could possibly respond to that.

'Let me get this straight..you've just been discharged from the hospital and the first thing you are going to do is head over to the company to finalise a deal?' I tried to make sense of the ridiculous situation and distanced the space between us as my happy mood jumped out the window, 'Are you serious!' I scoffed placing a hand on my hip and shaking my head in disbelief.

'It's important pinea-'

'Oh no, don't you call me pineapple mister! You...you loser!' I retaliated and poked him in the shoulder as he made an apologetic face. Just as I was about to scream about him being an asshole something inside my head suddenly clicked.

'Hey didn't you say the deal was with Calypso & Co.?' I questioned him a smirk on my face as he nodded and said, 'Yes but I don't know how that has anything to do wi-'

'Uh oh,' he muttered taking a metaphorical gulp as I percieved him to be mentally doing.

'Say hello to the heir of Calypso & Co. and you haven't really made a good first impression..' I trailed off flicking his tie and walking towards the door. 

'Be in my office, well my dads but it's the same thing in 10 minutes or consider the deal gone,' I kept my eyes on him then raised my hands and popped them open as if releasing something, 'poof!'

Giggling I walked out of the door and called my dad to tell him I was visiting him in his office within the next five minutes and cut the call. Calling a taxi I reached the office quickly and entered the reception saying hi to 'Stella' and jogged towards the elevator pressing for the highest floor in the building. 

'Hey dad!' I greeted the middle aged man sitting in a suit across the office scouring through a file in his hands. Immediately his eyes snapped towards me and he placed the file down with one last look and stepped out of his seat to embrace me in a bear hug. I laughed and both of us took seats on his desk.

'Dad I don't think I ever told you Alex's second name..' I started of as my dad leaned back in his seat and urged me to continue with furrowed eyebrows. Twirling my fingers I shifted in my own seat and finally told him.
