Desiree's POV
I watched how depressed my father was when he learned that everything he had worked for was on fire.
He even went crazy and lost control while shaking and crying in front of us.
I felt so pitiful for him and I just sobbed at the chest of Alexander. It feels so heavy looking at my parent's suffering and how they feel so hurt when their dreams and their plans shattered for one more time.
Alexander takes me to his place because my father doesn't want anyone to talk to him yet. He wants to be alone.
"Do you think he is not going to hate me? Because I think George did that to make me feel guilty for rejecting him."
"No, please don't think about that," Alexander whispered as he hugged me and scooped me onto our bed. We're sleeping together now, and my head is resting on his arms as I shut my eyes; I love it when he makes me feel like this. The way he said his words was all magical, like if he could take away my pain. "It's not your fault…" He added and kissed my cheeks and rested his chin on my neck.
I breathe heavily and close my eyes, "I know but how can we handle this situation? He will always attack us…"
"I will take care of everything, do not worry about it."
The Next Morning
Alexander and I were both strolling the backyards and I was watering the plants and I am dressed in a summer cute dress colour grey that compliments my porcelain skin.
He stopped doing his thing and sat on the wooden chair, he stared at me and watched my every movement.
"Good morning, you have been so quiet this morning."
"Yeah and you know why." I sighed and sat next to him while looking at the beautiful garden, "It's beautiful…"
"Yeah, I made an extension for that for you." he said and he extended his arms so that I could lean on his chest while we were sitting together. It comes so naturally that we are acting like this but we don't know what is the label of our relationship.
"I want to know how my father is now. I feel he is so sad right now…"
"Don't worry, I will do everything to make him feel better." Alexander replied to me calmly, "What do you mean?"
"I helped him to recover all the loss and damages." He said.
"Why do you have to do that? Alexander, he is my father and I have a lot of debt to you…I don't know how I can pay you for what you did to me and to my family."
Alexander sighed, he stared at my face, his eyes were sparkling and he said, "I love the way you stare at me and that's enough." he said.
"What? I don't understand." I said and he stood up, he took his cleaning things and decided to be inside the house, we are in his little cosy tiny house in the forest. I love it because the house is tiny but it feels so luxurious inside and out.
He has a tiny garden, and a tiny swimming pool, and a tiny terrace, everything is tiny because it was designed to be for single people like him.
But now he takes me to his tiny elegant house in the forest to take all the worry and stress in my mind. It's helping but I am still thinking about my father and when he told me that I don't need to worry about everything, I sighed with relief because he did this to make me stress free.
I dashed inside the house and I saw him on his couch watching television like a normal person. I clears my throat and sits on his lap. He was shocked when I did that but after that he massaged my waist and its tickle so I chuckle and hold his hand so as not to touch me there.
"Oh please don't touch me…"
"You just sit on my lap."
"Yeah, is it a problem to sit here?" I said and put my arms on his neck, I leaned and kissed his lips softly and he closed his eyes. I can sense his heavy breathing that he is controlling himself. "Baby, I am watching television…" Oh my god he just called me a baby, I was shocked and moved to another seat, his eyes widened. "What? Did I say something bad?"
"No…I am going to call my sister now, enjoy watching television." I said and went to the room to dial my sister's phone number.
"Hello…"
"Oh hi, you are finally awake but I want you to answer me this question. What is your relationship with Alexander? Did you know what he just did? He donated a million of dollars to our father to regain and recover our Father's business. Did you tell him to do that?"she said and she is thinking that I told Alexander to do that, how can I pay a million dollars to him?
"Can you please calm down? I never told him that I wanted to ask for some money to help dad, he did it for me."
Patricia yelled excitedly and told me, "Wow! He really loves you!"
"I don't know if it's love…I don't know anymore."
"What do you mean? He did everything for you, he wants you to be safe and he wants you to be happy and not worried about everything and you still don't know that he loves you unconditionally?" Patricia said, I can imagine her frowning face right now.
"Is that Desiree, let me talk to her." My mom's voice.
She takes the phone and greets me with an excited voice, "Thank you to your boyfriend…he is the best."
"Mom, he is not my boyfriend yet…"
"But it will be your boyfriend soon and much better when he becomes your husband."
"Mom…"
"What?" My mom chuckles and Patrcia laughs also.
I sighed and ended the call. They are just teasing me.
