Alexander

Chapter 14

Alexander's P.O.V

Today is my second appointment and I told Oliver. He told me he'll pick me up and I refuse, I told him to meet me in the clinic directly and gave him the name. When I arrive at the clinic, he's already outside waiting for me. It hurts seeing him, not because of what he did, but the fact that we're no longer together. I was really hurt that time I ended up things, but when I calmed down I thought about all he said to me regarding his parents, his leadership and everything that he will lose if ever he chooses to be with me. Sure, he has me but it's hard to just let things go easily, but it doesn't mean that I'll get back together with him, I need, no, we need to heal ourselves first and if after that he still wants me then I'll accept him right away, because me? I will always love him and I will always want him, that's why I'm not completely shutting him off.

"Hello Alexander. How are you" He ask. Oh how I miss his voice and the way he say my name.

"Hi. I'm alright, thank you. How about you?"

"I feel good the moment I saw you step out of your car" He smiles. My face flush, I ignore him and went inside first. As usual the assistant leads us to the room and made me change into the hospital gown before leaving us to call the doctor. Moments later the doctor came in and did all those usual things. 

"Your baby is healthy, good job. Now, I'll prescribe you some vitamins again and you always need to drink Anmum morning and evening. Pregnancy for males is shorter than the females and that means you'll be due on May, as your baby becomes bigger and bigger your hormones and cravings will increase" the doctor says and look at Oliver "You need to make sure he has all the foods he wants to eat and always take him on a walk okay?" Oliver nodded. Great, now we're gonna be together always. After our appointment we went out of the clinic, I look at Oliver to bid him goodbye.

"Well then, thank you for accompanying me and you don't need to get things for me or accompany me during exercise, I can do all that myself." 

"I want to do it. Please just let me." He beg. I avoided his eyes and sigh.

"No. Bye Oliver, I'll see you in the next appointment which is next month" I said and quickly went inside my car and drove off. I was about to gave in.

Ever since that day Oliver always visit me and do all the things, like cleaning the house, buying groceries and he even practice cooking so that he can cook me healthy meals and he always make sure I drink my milk and vitamins. He is always present on my appointments, right now, I'm two weeks away from giving birth and man is it hard. My stomach is so big and heavy and I always eat and drink and sleep! 

"Is there anything you want?" I heard Oliver ask. We're currently watching Twilight because that's what my baby wants, I even bought the whole entire book series of it and read in like one week and then read it again. 

"No"

"Are you su-"

"I said no Oliver! No! Why don't you go home, I don't need you anyway. You being here just irritates me, I keep on telling you not to come and bother me with anything but you still do! Go home and do your leader stuff that's so important to you and marry that woman. Gosh!" I ramble. I turn off the TV and went inside my room locking the door and lay on my bed.

I heard a knock, but ignore it.

"Hey Alexander, I'm sorry. I'll go now, I already cook your dinner and you just need to heat it okay? Don't forget to drink your milk before you go to bed. I'm not coming back here and bother you again, but call me if ever you need me, okay? I love you" He says and then I hear footsteps and soon, heard the front door shut. My tears fall down one by one, why is he leaving? Because you told him duh! But still how many times did I actually told him to leave and say hurtful things to him, he didn't left, he stayed. Why now? 

My hormones are so unbalance that sometimes, I cling on Oliver so much like hugging him or just sit or stand close to him and most of the time I'm annoyed by him and what happened just now is an example of that.

I actually cried myself to sleep and when I woke up it's already dark outside, I check my phone and it says eight in the evening. I went outside my room just to be face with total darkness, right I'm alone now. I slowly went downstairs and turn all the lights on, I went to the kitchen and put the food Oliver made in the microwave. When it's done heating, I grab a spoon and fork and went to the dining table and started eating. As I eat, I can't help my tears falling down and soon after I just cried and cried. I grab my phone and dial Oliver's number.

"Hello? Alexander? Is everything all right?" He immediately ask.

"Oliver I'm sorry." I say between sobs.

"What for and why are you crying?" He ask.

"For yelling at you and saying hurtful things, I didn't mean to" I replied.

"It's okay Alexander, I understand. Did you eat already?"

"No. Come back" I say, stretching the word 'back'.

"Okay, stop crying now. I'm on my way" He says and hung up.

An hour later, I heard the door being unlock and someone came in. I stood up when I smell Oliver and ran towards him. I hug him and started crying again. He lift me up and carry me to the living room, he sat down and cradle me on his lap. I hug him tightly and place my head on the crook of his neck while I keep apologizing.

"Alexander, there's no need for you to apologize. It's okay and what you said about my leadership was true anyways, so it's okay. I deserve it" He says, caressing my back smoothly. I lean back to look him the eyes.

"And that-that Amelia, are you going to marry her? Or maybe you already did!" I said and quickly grab his left hand to check if there's a ring, there's nothing. He laugh and cup my face before kissing me on my forehead. 

"I didn't marry her. After that day you rejected me, my parents found out and told me that it's a good thing that things between us ended so I almost killed my father. My mom disowned me and I know my father did too, the morning after that they left and brought Amelia with them. Last month, I receive a letter from my father saying that they will no longer associate their selves with me and that I can still be the leader of the clan. I really don't understand him. I'm really sorry for denying you and for lying Alexander, I hope you can forgive me and give us a chance again. I'll wait no matter how long it'll take." He explains. I didn't say anything and just hug him again. After hugging there for like I don't know how long, Oliver found out that I didn't finish my dinner and scolded me, I roll my eyes at him and continue eating it.

When it's time to sleep, Oliver tuck me in bed like I'm some five year old kid. He always does this and I let him, because I want to.

"Goodnight Alexander" He says, kissing my forehead. He was about to go.

"Oliver, why don't you sleep here, with me" I say, looking away as a blush creep up my face.

"It's okay, I'll sleep in the guest room" I heard him say. I feel myself crying again and lay down, turning my back on him. I heard him chuckle and feel the bed sinking, he pulls me onto his chest and hug me.

"My Alexander became a crybaby. How cute" I slap his chest and he just laugh.

I'm home.
