A Tale of Love (EXCHANGE LOVE #1)

The Candor Twins

Sophie

I can't believe that just happened, after the crazy night finally got wrapped up with a little run outside, I went bare foot straight to the woods right besides my boyfriend, it's crazy I never thought this would happen, I really, really like Alexander, I think I might even feel more for him already but I've been fighting this feelings for fear of being hurt again, but after everything he's done for me, all of the time we have spent together, how could I possibly say no? 

Now that we are official I have to tell him the truth, I HAVE to spill all the secrets that I have kept for so long about what happened before, what might happen again. Am sill scared to even mention it out loud, I never talked to anyone about this, well anyone aside from Gabe and mother, but not a single one of my friends ever knew what Vincent and Vance Candor did to me.

After a much needed sleep for the sake of my face I got presentable cause I will be meeting Alex's family, and I can't deny am nervous about it, but if the son is this amazing, his family must be just as great. 

The next day I woke early and got ready wearing a pink skirt with a white shirt and some white converse I packed in case I needed a cute outfit.

I tried helping  Alexander put all of our stuff in the car and disarmed the camp site, but he didn't even let me lift a finger at all. He carried everything saying 'I got it angel you just wait' I guess the whole relationship made him even more prone to nicknames and protectiveness.

Placing the last bag we had Alexander came to take my hand and helped me into the car holding the door open for me.

"Good morning my girlfriend" he said looking happier than I have ever seen him, his delight was contagious as I found myself getting chipper by the second, I reached over the console to plant a kiss on his cheek.

"Bonjour amour" i whispered in his ear.

He trembled under my touch, but regained his composure fast and started the car towards his house. It wasn't a short drive, yet with everything we talked about, and the jokes we shared it seemed like we didn't take more than just a few minutes.

Parking the car at his house entrance I couldn't help but gasp at the beautiful mansion in front of me with a line of amazing flowers lining up the entrance.

I got out of the car and Alexander came to take my hand to guide me towards the front door. He took his keys to open the door when it flew open and a beautiful woman with caramel hair and hazel eyes stood next to a handsome man slightly older than her with blue eyes that matched my hunk, they pulled his son and me into a bear hug which caught me way off guard.

"He-llo" I said trying to catch my breath in the tight hold I was currently in.

"It's so nice to finally meet you dear" the woman says "Am Madelaine Andretti Alexander mother, and this is my husband Eric" she says gesturing to her husband. "am sorry if we scared you dear, am just so excited to finally meet my baby boy girl" she coos Alex making him look so uncomfortable "Mom, treat me like a man at least in from of my girlfriend please" he pleads trying to make his voice sound deeper, gosh he's the cutest.

"The pleasure is mine Ms. Andretti, am Sophie" I said feeling my cheeks turn pink.

Alexander's parents where all to happy to have me in their house, after the awkward introduction, everything went smoothly, I got to meet his little brother George who I have to say will be a huge heartbreaker with his cute looks and blunt personality. it was a really nice afternoon altogether, I cooked with his mom,  Maddy as she asked me to called her, while Alex and his dad set the table. 

But at around 8 I started to feel drowsy of all the activities and asked Alex to drive me home. 

"Bye love" Alex said pecking my lips at the door. "Goodnight Mon amour" I said entering my house. A soon as I closed the door dad and Gabriel came and asked me everything about the festival, and I told them how amazing it was and that I now had a boyfriend. Both of them seemed pleased with the effort Alex put into asking me.

Tired out of my mind I crawled to bed getting in my comfy pjs. I started to feel sleep take over when I heard my phone ping with a text, I decided nothing could be so important now and ignored it.

Waking up at 7 on Monday morning I got ready for school trying to look cute for my man. I curled my hair and I was applying my make up when I hear my phone rang on the night stand. I picked it up putting in on speaker without even looking at the ID.

"hello, who is this?" I said.

"Ouch amore, you already forgot who I am" i giggled at Alexander hurt tone

"Sorry stud, I was doing my make up and didn't notice it was you... what's up?"

"Well I was wondering if you would like for me to pick you up to go to school from now on?" he always has to say something that makes me fall even harder with his thoughtfulness.

"I'd love that Alex ... wanna have breakfast here?"

"YES!, I mean sure love.. i'll be there in 10" with that I hung the phone and hurried up to finish. 

Making breakfast I started the dough and then put it  in the waffle maker, suddenly  I remembered I had a text, so i took my cell to check my messages and I was rotted to the spot. 

DISGRACEFUL SON OF A FUDGE! 

I barely heard a knock on the door and a few moments later Alexander and my brother came into the kitchen talking happily until  they saw my face and both rushed to me.

"Whats wrong sis?"

"Sophie, are you ok? you look pale"

I try to form a sentence, but all I can think of right now is they are back, and they are not backing down.

i hand my phone to Alexander who reads the message and then shows it to Gabriel.

"What does this mean Sophie?" Alex asked me.

"It means Vance is coming"

I looked at the message one more time and fear the worst.

V:

You think you can have a new boyfriend just like that and that I would let you princess? you better enjoy it while you can cause am coming and this time you won't get to run.

I was about to say something when the door to the house bursted open and Vincent came huffing inside.

"you need to hide love" was all he said, and in that moment I knew I would never get away of the Candor twins.
