Zander's P.O.V
He threw his clothes in his bag . Why had he been so cruel to her he called blooms and blossums . And orderd two bouquets one for 302 william Miller and the other for Lacey.
He finally after everything he was gonna go on a run. He put on pair of running shorts . Ear phones pumping as he ran down the center towards the beach he loved run in the sand. He stopped to catch his breath someone ran full into his back. He fell forward and a heard her voice. He must be dehydrated hes hearing things.
I'm so...alex
Lacey what our doing here?
I'm running and you?
Well I'm sorry about yesterday I was wrong
Dang straight you were wrong but that's the past. Lacey let out a breathe
I challenge you to a race to the pier.I win you forgive me and you let me take you on a real date.
You win I will leave you alone an I will get you a job w connors as head editor just for beating my a$$.
Ok

Mark

Set
Go!!
We were neck and neck. She would get past then I would. Til she spoke "I love you " I stopped dead in my tracks she kept on til she reached the pier . I walked to the pier defeated .
Sweat pouring down her face she had a huge smile upon her face.
You won it's been a pleasure to know you .ill see you tonight with the contract . Thank you Lacey.
She jumped into my arms "Alex"enjoying the warmth.
You didn't give me a chance to talk yesterday he kissed me twice but he is my brother not... you. So where done?
"Never "he smiled into her eyes" I ment what I said I'm gonna marry you and three kids or four. "
6 five boys and one girl all trained by my father. She stated
James and Zander conversation
Deal as he kissed her his body melded. His phone went off .
James:Hey bud we have a problem
zander: what problem
James: conners won't merge they seen the social media . They say we're shady and they need you to clear up your name before they can do business. So there is gonna be still the banquet .
Zander : I just broke contract w Lacey so where gonna figure something out
James: are you still going?
Zander: yes with a date
He hugged lacey And kissed the top of her head
He never thought he would be holding her again. She looked at him and it dawned upon her.
"Alex i already have a date I asked tadeo to be my date tonight."
" Lacey! Cancel it ."alex rubbed his hands through his hair "please"
Just for that ...no ! I just got out of a relationship where Paul tried to control my life. If it wasn't what he wanted then I had to do with out. I will not be bullied and manipulated again are we clear. "Her eyes ablaze " so I am not your puppet any more our contract is done."
"I understand Lacey . I didn't mean for it to come out that way. My dad miles was the same way. He was manipulative towards us it makes you feel like you have no control over your own life. I don't want you to feel that way ,flower.
It's your choice and will always be your choice".
She didnt feel alone he knew what it felt like to be a puppet in someone's else's sadistic plan. It made her feel comforted that he cared about her feelings.
"Hey so I won what do I get again" his face fell I will leave you alone as promised. He started to walk away slowly.
"Hey Alex see you tonight." He slowly smiled
"You owe me one dance" she waved as he disapperead from her view.
Life has changed in such a short period of time. A seagull squealed as he soared overhead. Wave crashed upon the shore and wind blew . She picked up a shell. Tossing it across the blue surf . It skipped across it once. Twice.. til if finally submerged between the dark blues waves.
She slowly walked home. Victoria waited for her arrival " your all sweaty. Mr.b is coming home soon . Your mom called while you were running . Don't worry My dork is gone. Sorry about yesterday they pissed me off with all the crazy testosterone filled agression."victoria braided her hair.
No problem, it's just weird in New York I was semi invisible and now I get so much attention it's unreal. Lacey stated poking at her hands.
"Well honey that's because theyWe're idiots .not to see how beautiful you are. "As she started to braid Lacey hair.
I took a fast shower ,dressed ,and ate my favorite junk food .. sneakers. All that chocolate and caramel yum! I so deserve this even though my waist says no. I'm at home I can eat how I like once I get back to New York back to diets and workouts.
did you forgive him? Victoria asked as she did her make up. I don't know yet
Do you think he let her win ?
What you think will happen at the banquet? All I can say is drama.
