Chapter 41
“You were taking long in there, it’s been 45 minutes and i haven’t heard from you. I thought maybe you’d fainted or something. I only called to confirm”He told me.
“What if I’d fainted while i was naked and still bathing, would you have come in there?”I asked, much to my curiosity.
“Why not, if you didn’t answer me while i was calling, I’d have run into the bathroom to check up on you. It’s not like i haven’t seen you naked already”He said. His honesty was brutal.
Did he seriously need to rub it in my face that i had embarrassed myself in front of him before?
“Oh…… of course”I said quietly.
“You wouldn’t want me to leave you to die would you?”He asked.
“Yeah i wouldn’t, you’re right…. now if you’d excuse me, I’d like to change my clothes”I told him.
“Oh…… right”He smiled.
“You can leave” I said frowning. “Or do you wanna watch me naked?”I asked, folding my arms, waiting for him to leave.
“I’ll be glad to…… um…… i mean…. no…… I’ll be in the living room”He said. I rolled my eyes at him as he headed for the exit.
“I made dinner!”He yelled from outside as he slammed the door shut.
“He’s an issue”I muttered as i pulled off my towel. I creamed my smooth skin and then i wore a pink sweatshirt with white shorts. I combed my hair neatly and then left the room, heading down to the living room where Alex was sitting down.
“Here you are”He stood up.
“Yeah”Was my dry response as we both went to the dinning where Alex had already dished out dinner.
“What did you make?”I asked as i settled down just beside Alex.
“See for yourself”He smiled and i pulled the cover of the white ceramic plat open and gasped. He made creamy chicken tortilla soup with beef tacos
“Hmmm…. yummy” I said as i pulled out my spoon, immediately digging into the soup. Alex chuckled at my reaction.
“I knew you’d like it”He smiled.
“Like? i love it!”I said as i took a bite off my taco.
“I’m glad you love it…. why wouldn’t you? of course I’m the best chef”He bluffed.
Show off!.
“Flatter yourself Alex”I teased.
“You know I’m right”He smirked while i rolled my eyes at him.
After we finished eating, we both cleared the dishes and then sat down in the living room arguing over movies to watch.
“No Alex, i want to watch Boogie Nights!”I yelled, dragging the remote with him.
“That movie’s lame, let’s watch At eternity’s gate, it’s way cooler”He arguing as we kept dragging the remote.
“No i want to watch At eternity’s gate, boogie night is lame!”I protested.
“So is at eternity’s gate!”He kept dragging the remote.
“No Alex, we will watch at eternity’s gate whether you like it or not!”I finally managed to pull the remote away from him.
“Hey give that back!”He groaned and i laughed at his expense, possessively gripping the remote.
“No i won’t!”I squeaked.
“Come on Olivia, you’re being ridiculous, let’s watch at eternity’s gate, it can help you grow some sense”
Did he just insult me?
“Did you just say that I’m senseless?”I glared at him.
“Of course, whoever told you that you’re reasonable lied to you. Hard”.
“And you’re dumb, you’re very dumb, in fact your a double IQ dummy and you’ll always be!”I yelled.
“Me?”He scowled.
“Yes you, what are you gonna do about it?”I scoffed.
“Hey watch your mouth or else I’ll break your teeth!”He threatened.
“Oh really?…… I’m so eager to see how you’ll do it”I mocked.
“Liv I’m not joking with you, hand over the remote, it’s my turn to choose whatever i like”He said.
“But I’m a lady, can’t you be a gentleman for once in your life?”I pouted.
“Who is deceiving you?”He asked.
“Huh?”I stared at him in confusion.
“Whoever told you that you’re a lady lied, the person lied hard”He smirked.
“And whoever told you that you’re a gentleman is deceiving you!”I retorted.
“Nobody ever said i was a gentleman and i also don’t remember telling you that I’m a gentleman, now pass me the remote or this will get bloody”He buffed.
“Alex I’m warning you, stay away from me and my remote, the remote’s mine” I stood up.
“No it’s mine!”He argued, standing up alongside me.
“Who’s house is this? mine right? so whatever is in this house belongs to me and not you”I told him.
“Fine then”He said.
“Phew! i didn’t think it’ll be that easy to convince you, you can be really annoying at times”I sighed and let out a breath of relief.
Before i know what’s happening, he walks over to the Tv and switches it off. He disables the cable connection.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Hey, are you mad!”I yelled.
“If i don’t watch Tv then no one is allowed to”He said.
“You’re insane”I made my way to the Tv but he obstructed my way.
“And where do you think you’re going to young lady?”
If i wasn’t already angry, I’d have pointed out that he just called me a young lady which makes his previous argument invalid but i don’t have that time.
“Get out of my way Alex”I told him.
“No way, if I’m not allowed to watch what i want then so are you”He folded his arms.
“You’ve gone mad Alex, get out of my way”I tried to push him away but he didn’t even bulge.
“Try your hardest Henderson, we die here today” He was really prepared for me today.
I hate this boy!
“Alex I’ll chop off your balls, get lost”I said, trying to push him away but he didn’t even flinch.
“Oh Olivia, sweet poor Olivia, give up already and rest”He teased.
“Call me that one more time and I’ll use your head for barbeque!”I warned him. I was burning in anger, my face was as red as a tomato already.
I was expecting a comeback from Alex but instead, he burst into laughter as i stared at him in horror. Before i know it, i join him in laughing.
“Oh Olivia, you’re mad”He kept laughing as we both fell on the floor.
“Alex this isn’t funny”I feigned seriousness.
“Then why are you laughing if it isn’t?”He laughed.
“I’m only laughing before you’re laughing. Stop laughing already you idiot!”I yelled.
“I didn’t tie your mouth now did i? i think I have every right to laugh whenever i please”
I shot him an instant glare.
“Okay…. okay, fine then, i think i have a better suggestion”He said.
“And that is?”I questioned.
“Let’s rather play a game”He smirked.
“What game?”I asked.
“It’s called Kiss and tell”He told me.
“You made that up didn’t you?”I questioned.
“What if i did? it doesn’t matter noe does it?”He asked.
He has a point though.
“I’m listening”I informed him, folding my arms
“Okay, here’s how we’ll play the game, we get to ask each other questions, whoever doesn’t answer the question will kiss the other person”He explained.
“What? I’m not playing this lame game with you! it makes no sense”I protested.
“Think about it Olivia, this could be an opportunity for to ask any questions you probably really wanna ask me. Who knows i might be generous enough to answer”He grinned.
He does have a point, i have so many unanswered questions that have been eating me up.
“Fine then, I’ll play”I informed him.
“Now that’s my baby-”
“Don’t you dare complete that statement Alex or else I’ll chop off your balls”I warned.
“Okay…. okay fine”He put his hands up in surrender.
“Good”I told him.
“Now let’s play, I’ll start”He smirked.
“Okay?”
“So Liv, you lied to be about the grocery shopping this morning right? you only used it as an excuse because you didn’t want me to accompany you. You were going to Cade’s house right?”He asked.
So he knew all this while, so he purposely stopped my plans.
Jerk.
“Um……”
“Answer me Liv”He smirked.
“Fine…… yes”I said quietly.
“I knew it!”He said.
“If you knew then why did you stop me?”I asked.
“Because it’s a bad decision, i wouldn’t allow you to go and worsen his situation right now, i know he’s an asshole and he deserves whatever you have planned for him but i don’t think now’s the right time, wait until he recovers and then you can confront him. Trust me Liv, i so badly wanna see you kick his ass but now isn’t the right time.”He said.
“Wow, who knew that Alexander Williams could be this sensible”I teased and he laughed. “Now my turn to ask you a question”I smirked.
“No it’s mine, you asked me a question already, remember? and I’ve answered it so i think it’s my turn to ask you” He smirked. My eyes turned dark.
“You cheater!”I yelled.
“I don’t think so, i only answered your question which you asked so that makes it my turn now”He beamed at me making me scowl in return.
“Fine then, go on”I said.
“Good girl…… so…… Are you a virgin?”He asked.
“Hey that question is personal!”I grimaced.
“You have no choice, you either answer or you kiss me”He smirked. There’s no way I’m ever kissing this dickhead again.
No matter how good of a kisser he is, I’ll never kiss him again, not because I’m scared or anything but because i don’t like how my body reacts in response of even the slightest contact with him.
“Answer me Liv or I’ll kiss you”
I shot him an instant glare. “Fine…. no I’m not a virgin”He stared at me in horror like something that came out of the movies.
“Why do you seem so shocked? haven’t you seen a non virgin girl before?”I teased.
“Yeah but…. i…… um….”Forget it.
Alex’s POV
The thought of Liv being banged by another man made me sick for some unknown reason. I didn’t ever think she’s a virgin but i never really gave it a lot of thought.
A girl not being a virgin was a normal thing to me but for some weird reason, i felt slightly…… hurt?
“Okay…. my turn”She smiled.
“Go on”Was my cold response, I was still triggered by the information i had just received.
“I’ve noticed you haven’t brought any girl home lately, why’s that? Have you stopped being a player?”She asked with questioning eyes.
“Of course not, i still have my girls but i prefer doing it elsewhere with them rather than here, to avoid any drama” I told her.
Half of that was a lie…. yeah i still have my girls but i haven’t hooked up with anyone lately.
I wouldn’t tell her that, she’ll start thinking that i have feelings for her which i don’t.
I don’t have any feelings for her apart from friendship and i wouldn’t want a situation where she’ll mistake that for some useless emotion.
I know I’m lying to myself right now but it’s better to convince myself than to keep feeling this weird attraction to some foreign arrogant girl.
“Your turn”She said.
“Huh?”I asked.
“Your turn” She repeated.
No argument or quarrels? Wow.
“Okay…… Before now, did you have any feelings for Cade?”I asked.
“No…. we were just friends”She said assertively. I let out a breath of relief.
“Okay…. your turn”I told her.
“That night when i was drunk, you never told me the full story right? i want you to tell me every detail, i know you’re keeping something from me”She said.
How can one girl be so dumb, yet so smart?
“Um…. i…… I don’t have an answer to that”I said.
I had no intentions of kissing her to avoid a question, I wanted her to be the one to kiss me. I think it’s more sexy when she kisses me first.
Now i have to do this.
Liv’s POV
I don’t know what happened that night but i have a feeling that he didn’t tell me the exact truth.
He moved forward to face me and then encircled his arms around my waist. He pulled me closer.
No this isn’t happening right now. Before i can oblige, his lips are against mine. His soft lips captures my lips and he seeks permission into my mouth. I part my lips, granting him access as his tongue linger into my mouth, clenching mine. His grip around me is tight and i can feel his hand on my hair, ruffling it as the kissing continues. His breath is hot against my skin as it fans me. I could feel his hands moving up to my sweatshirt as my hands finds his hair, playing with the beautiful texture.
