🌹CHAPTER TWENTY - THREE🌹

"Absolutely not. She is the one that shot us, Rose. There is no way that you're going to see her" Alexander says and I roll my eyes. I put my hand on his cheek and caress it. "I need this. Besides she shot us because she had no other choice and we're alive. She made sure that we'd survive those bullets and we did. My father could've sent someone that would make sure we'd not make it alive but she did" I tell him.

I knew that he was going to refuse but I need this to make me feel better. All of this hangs over me like a dark gray cloud that I can't get rid of and it wants to pour heavy rain on me but that can all go away if I just talk to her. He sighs as he pulls me tighter to his body.

I can feel his heartbeat against mine and how it beats in sync, like they are the same heart and in a way that is the truth in its purest form. Our hearts belong to one another and they are the same and the love is strong enough to go through anything. We've survived so much together and I know we can survive this, if we are together then we can do anything.

"Fine but I'm going with you and not leaving your side for even a second" He says and I let out a giggle. I already knew that he would want to come with and I would not object to that. I want him to be there with me and hold my hand. "Even when I'm in the bathroom?" I ask him.

We both burst into laughter. "Yes, even in the bathroom. Believe me when I say this, Rose, I'm not losing you again and even if I have to watch you sit on the toilet. Besides we're engaged to one another" He tells me and that is enjoy to keep me laughing. I shake my head. "Just because we're going to marry each other doesn't mean that you can watch me on the toilet" I tell him and eye him.

Alexander chuckles but I can tell in his eyes that he's serious. "Then I suppose I will just have to hold it in" I tell him and he shakes his head as we laugh once more. "Now, eat something. We need to build your strength up" He says and I nod my head.

I sit down and the two of us start eating then snacks that were given to us before and I smile to him. I know that there are so many things that we still need to talk about but I feel like we have a start that is going into the right direction and in time everything that we need to talk about will be talked about.

His phone rings and he stands up and leaves to go somewhere else to answer the phone which I find rather odd but I don't question it as this phone call really isn't any of my business. I sit there and eat the last thing of the tray and then I lean back on the couch that I'm sitting on.

Alexander has been gone for more than five minutes and I'm starting to worry about him and wonder why he's taking so long at talking with someone but all that goes away when I see him walk into the living once again with a bright smile on his face.

I raise an eyebrow at him as he comes over to me and hugs me before landing a big kiss on my cheek. Leaving me happy and confused at the same time and I raise an eyebrow at him which he doesn't seem to be able to pick on my confusion as he's smiling and he's happy.

"Who was that?" I ask him. He just hugs me and adjusts himself in the couch beside me. "That was my lawyer and we have the contract for the biggest deal of the year and trust me. This will benefit you as well because our company is growing larger" He says but that brings me even more puzzled confusion.

"What about it?" I ask him. I still don't get why he would be this happy about a deal like this. Perhaps that is one of the changes that happened during the year that has past, Alexander being happy about a deal. Which is rather odd but a change is a change.
