ANTHONY'S POV They begin to apply lotions and body treatments on Alexa and massage her shoulders before taking out her hair clips. The whole time they both chat away at each other, Alexa occasionally responding with a small response while nodding her head. As soon as the female spa worker finished applying the lotion to Alexa, she left."So you like the spa, Miss? We haven't started yet!" The staff exclaimed excitedly."Yes, it's pretty nice. Thank you..." she replies as she stares at the door the spa staff had exited through, she was looking at the direction which the staff had exited through."Now for your massage, you have been complaining for quite awhile and I decided I needed to give you a massage since you are being so stiff during the massage. So relax! We're not hurting you!" The lady said enthusiastically as she begins to apply moisturising oil onto Alexa's hands before massaging them gently.Alexa closes her eyes as her face relaxed. She seemed to enjoy the massage and en

ALEXA'S POV After packing the lunch in a small container, I carefully put it inside an insulated bag. My heart skipped a bit as I reread the message he sent, "Make me some lucn for the two of us. See you later." I felt a wave of heat rush on my cheeks as I thought of his voice saying those words. Shaling my head to focus, I zip up the bag and went outside when the driver was waiting for me. As I got into the backseat with my food, a few drops of perspiration started trailing down my brow and neck, which made me shiver in disgust. My hands shook and my stomach felt queasy. Even though they were covered with gloves, I wiped them off on my pants and then rubbed the sweat away with my shirt. I looked over at the driver, who was looking straight forward, pretending to not notice me wiping sweat off my face. My heart sped up even more as fear took hold of me. The thought of having to talk to him after our argument made my heart race faster. What if he hated me or tried to kick me out bec

ALEXA'S POV "Sir, why did you ask me out on a date?" I asked as we both sat at the back of his car's trunk. The door had been liften up so in case it rained it would prevent us from getting wet. "Why wouldn't I?" He glanced back at me before giving me another smile.Did he already forget?"I'm not saying I'm complaining, but isn't that a little sudden?" My words came out more bluntly than I meant it too."You should never rush these things, Alexa. Don't ever doubt yourself or how wonderful the people around you are. Trust me when I say that, I've met my fair share of people who never understand love or kindness.""How old did you grow up?" I inquired further."Nineteen years old, Alexa,"This man, Mr.Brown, had grown up a very mature person despite his age. He had a hard life, yet he seemed to have found peace.Maybe having Nolan early in his life blessing in disguise. Maybe that was the reason for his happiness and acceptance.I shook off all thoughts and focused on my surroundi

ALEXA'S POV "Mr.Brown I can explain," I stood up immediately from the bed as I caught his gaze at me."What the actual hell are two doing?!" Mr.Brown yells, grabbing the nearby speaker and preparing to throw it at Nolan who was laughing uncontrollably. "You think this is a fucking joke?!" Mr.Brown yelled as he threw the speaker almost hitting Nolan's side making him stop. "Hey, Dad! Chill, it's just a prank!" Nolan stood up, taking his camera out of its hiding place from the nightstand that was aiming at me."See, it's harmless-" Suddenly, Mr.Brown threw Nolan's shoes at his head and almost hit him again."Hey! I said it was harmless!" Nolan yelled.Before the two could even get a step closer to each other, I stood between them when I suddenly smelled Mr.Brown. "Sir, are you alright?" I quickly reached to touch his face when pushes me away toward Nolan.It was a good thing Nolan caught me but Mr.Brown's gaze burned whole into my head as if I've done something horrible to him. "Ge

ALEXA'S POV The warm water running through the faucet was the only sound I could hear throughout the bathroom walls. My mind was racing however to the kiss Anthony and I had. I stood naked infront of my bathroom mirror, watching myself and observing my face as to what they see in me.I took a deep breath and wiped some of the wetness away from my face before turning to stare at my reflection. I watched myself as I dried my hair, then pulled it up into a messy bun.I tried to push back the event, focusing on the mission. But his lips left a mark on my mind that I could never get removed. A tattoo.Walking out of the bathroom, Nolan no longer lied on my bed but was as messy as he had left. Sighing to myself, I locked the door in case anyone had any ideas to do before laying down to finally rest. I have a lot to confront with him tomorrow, but it's better to act unfazed than to be affected by it. (***) The following day, Nolan marches downstairs as he grabs his keys to his car to tak
