His California Babe

Chapter 16

We packed up all of the books and office supplies and stored them in the basement of the main house. Then we drove to Lowe's and bought a front door, and some furniture. We bought a black couch, a television, a matching black chair, and a coffee table. The place already had floors, so no need to get that. We brought it all back to the house and put it in the cave. It looked amazing when we finished with it! We took a break by going into the house so I could make some lemonade. I looked in the fridge and found this note saying,'if we don't get our payment, poor Issa is next' and there was a picture of me sleeping. I dropped it as Alex walked into the room. He ran over because he sensed my discomfort. "What's wrong?" I pointed at the note and picture on the floor. He picked them up in one swift movement. He read it and his eyes went pitch black and growled 'Mine!' And grabbed me harshly. I whimpered and his lighter black eyes noticed he was hurting me and he apologized. I just nodded, still not sure what to do. "Good thing were moved out of the house now." Alex mumbled, attempting to lighten the mood. I smiled but it probably looked more like a grimace. He pulled me out of the house and dragged me to his car. He buckled me in like a child. I usually would have complained, but I didn't have enough energy too. "Where are we going?" "It's a surprise." I huffed,"We'll then" he chuckled at my childish behavior. We drove in silence, which was fine by me, but Alex was going crazy. He would want to turn the radio on, but then change his mind. He tugged at his hair, and ran his fingers through it. We were driving up a mountain, when I used my powers to turn on the radio, without looking, which made Alex jump. I laughed at him and he playfully pouted. The song that came on was 'just a kiss' by lady antebellum. I started to sing along,

"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight, just a touch of the fire burning so bright, no I don't want to mess this thing up, I don't want to push to far, just a shot in the dark that you might be the one I've been waiting on my whole life, so baby I'm alright, with just a kiss good night" Alex applauded and my face went red,"Sorry, I just love that song!" He shook his head,"I think you did beautiful so there's no reason to apologize, love." I changed the subject,"What are we going up here anyways?" He said,"I found this when I went out for a run and the view is so beautiful I thought about you." I blushed and jumped out of the car to see the view. "Wow!"
