The Deal

Chapter 23

Well things were actually going kind of good. Alexander was getting better at comminicating with me when he was out of town. He finally learned how to pick up his phone and text me as well as call me at night before he heads to bed. It was actually feeling like a real relationship with him. Something I kinda want with him.

I mean who wouldn't want a relationship with him? He's charming, nice, sweet. Not to mention he's financially, very stable. He's the whole package and more.

Though I felt worried. I wasn't sure how I'd tell my mom and Christian about this new relationship of mine. Given the circumstances, you'd understand why I didn't want to tell either of them. My mother is very heartless and I'm sure she'd be against it in ways. Christian on the other hand- was it weird of me to say that in a way, he's special to me. He's been nothing but nice to me since I've met him and on top of that, I know there's something else between us.

Something that definitely can't happen! So how can I possibly tell him that I'm dating his best friend? Am I a horrible person? Because I can't have him, I immediately go to his best friend? Though that's not the way it's played out, I'm sure it seems that way.

Let me get this straight, in no way do I even want to attempt a relationship with Christian and as for my relationship with Alexander, it was very unexpected and happened out of nowhere!

Anyways, it was Monday once again. I found myself heading straight to work after school. Taking the public bus. I seriously hated not having a car. But with this job I can save up and hopefully will be able to get myself one.

I refused to keep using Christians car service, I also refused to keep begging my mother to use her car. Most of the time she said no, so there's that.

"Hello?" After digging through my purse for my phone which happened to be ringing extra loud today, I was able to answer the call I was getting.

I embarrassingly look away from everyone that stared at me on the bus, clearly annoyed with my very loud ringtone.

"Good morning." Alexander sang into the phone. "It's the afternoon here." I point out. "Yeah well it's five a.m in Australia." He chuckles.

The fact that he was calling me from Australia was just crazy! "Why are you up so early?" I ask while grabbing my bag and getting ready to get off at my stop. "Non stop busy day. It's my last day here so I'm just trying to get as much done as possible." I had no idea why he was always so busy.

I kinda don't completely know what he does!

"Wow, sounds like a fun day ahead of you." I say sarcastically as I get off at my stop.

I look up at the tall building that Christian owned. I wondered how much he paid a month for it, not to mention I wondered how many people he employeed. Like a thousand, tops!

"Yup, so what are you doing?" He asks.

I take in a deep breath. "Nothing exciting, just got to work." I murmur, forcing my feet to walk into the building. I didn't hate my new job, I just didn't completely like working with Christian. Not because he's a mean boss or anything, it just felt wrong and awkward!

"Well then, I shall let you go. But I'll talk to you tonight." He says.

He sounded like he was in a rush. I wasn't surprised.

I wondered how we'd even make this relationship work! I mean he's constantly out of the country, traveling to places my eyes would probably never see!

"My time or yours?" I was all down to talk to him tonight but I wasn't sure if I was down to be up at 4 in the morning or something talking to him.

"You're time, of course." He laughs, probably guessing that there was no way in hell I'd allow him to call me at his time. "Okay, well then I'll talk to you then, have a fun day."
