Loathe and Betrayal

~ Chapter Six

- Be yourself,everyone else is taken

( Third P.O.V )
Lexie stretched after sleeping on the hard couch. ' I'm going to have a bedroom in this office just in case.' She thought. She looked around,seeing that everywhere has darkened.'For how long was I out?' She flicked her watch to look at the time. It has been four hours since she was out.'I have to hurry back home.' She thought as she quickly picked her things up. Walking to the parking,she opened her car. Her sliver-gray Audi R8. Even though it was not one of the latest cars,it was one of her most treasured items.
It was a birthday gift from Vega. Vega always knew Alexandria's obsession with cars. Lexie hid it well but Vega could look through her. Alexandria always thought that she did not deserve any happiness but would still look very cheerful on the outside. People know the Alexandria she had shown to them. No one knew the petrified,insecure and sad Lexie. She vowed not to show anyone that side of hers. Alexandria buried that side of hers a long time ago. She would never let that resurface only to ruin her perfectly arranged life.
In the meantime,Lexie had reached home,took a long shower,scrubbed herself clean. She then plopped on her bed,snuggling with her soft pillows. Just when Lexie closed her eyes, her stomach roared.

"I don't have the energy to got get food." She grumbled under her breath.

"Knock knock." Cameron said as he opened the door with a tray in his hands and continued:

"I brought food for her Highness,do I have the permission to put the tray down?"

Alex nodded as she couldn't say anything. Once Cam put the tray down,she started digging in. She was eating like it was her last meal.

"Woah woah,go slow, you going to choke." Cam warned her. Hearing his warning, Lexie considerably slowed down and chewed. Slow,really really slow.

"Thanks." Alexandria said, her voice gruff

"You're welcome." Cam smiled but continued:"As compensation for my efforts,we will be cuddling. I miss our cuddles." He pouted.

Putting the tray of food aside on the table next to her bed, she said:

"Hop on, Captain Dumbo." Lexie grinned,remembering the nickname she gave to Cameron back in Primary.

"Ay Ay, Captain Smarty." Sometimes Lexie would think that the nicknames were funny and lame but she wouldn't be able to stop smiling at the memories including those nicknames.

Cameron jumped on the bed and snuggled close to Lexie's neck. Feeling content,Alex fell asleep. Although people misunderstood it most of the time, Cameron loves Lexie. Not in that way. Well at least people think he doesn't.She's the best friend and the sister. Cameron who has been brought up with cuddles and lots of hugs, it was normal. Cameron had a hard time looking out for Alexandria. The boys were always flocking around her. He always felt the need to glare and threaten the boys courting her.
Cameron had been mistaking this feeling for love. Little did he know, it was love but at least not the way he thought it to be. It didn't matter. Cameron had a weird habit of putting his leg over a pillow when he's sleeping. Well Lexie was there instead ld the pillow so the outcome was predictable.

(Lexie's P.O.V)*Morning*
I tried to stretch but in vain. Cameron was wrapped around me like a freaking Boa constrictor.

"Cam,let go,I have to get ready for work." I said, my voice gruff from sleep.

"No-o-o-o." He mumbled, tightening his grip.

"Do-on't go-o." He frowned at the thought as if it disgusted him.

Once I stopped struggling, Cameron loosened his grip. I slipped out of his embrace quietly. I did all my 'toiletries'
before heading to work. Cameron has been acting weird. When Cam wants to cuddle, most of the time it's because he got in a fight or he is upset. I will ask him properly when I get back home. I shrugged all the thoughts that were on my mind and looked ahead with a neutral face once I entered my office.
Blake was already there,waiting for me most probably. He looked worried.

"Uh ma'm,your nine am is here."

"Send them in." I said firmly.

"It's him ma'm." That left me confused.

A few minutes after Blake left, I heard a knock.

"Come in."

"Thank you for allowing me to see your exquisite face." Evan Viltchvoght.

Even though I was shocked and my heart was beating fast,really really fast, I surprisingly maintained my neutral face.

"Your purpose for wanting to see me ?" I asked,my voice firm.

"You wound me by talking like that." He said,dramatically putting his hand over his coat covered heart.

Even though I knew that he was here alone, I still felt the need to ask.

"Is Mr Theodore here too ?"

His face was contorted into disgust but was quickly replaced with one of confusion.

"You break my heart even more by asking about him."

"My curiosity about him seems quite amusing to you, Mr Viltchvoght." I arched an eyebrow at that. He looked shocked, I guess I hit the nail on the head.

"It's Evan my dear and well curiosity killed the cat." He smirked.

"Good thing I'm not a cat then." I paused and continued

"Well if that would be all,I'm sure that you can see yourself out, au revoir Mr Viltchvoght."

He looked as if he couldn't believe his eyes. Good for him cause it is my speciality to leave people astonished.
