Now and Forever

Chapter 18

I groaned as I searched for my phone, the annoying ringtone of my phone waking me up from my

slumber.

"What?!" I snapped into the phone, not bothering to check the caller ID.

"This is the second time you're doing this. Are you always asleep when I call you?" In came my best

friend's voice.

"Unfortunately yes, now what do you want at," I removed the phone from my ear and checked the time,

"seven in the morning?"

"How are you still asleep at seven am? Have a late night with your fiancée?"

"Yes- wait a second, ewww, that's disgusting Bella." I crinkled my nose in disgust.

She laughed hard into the phone.

"Har har har, very funny Bella." I said in a sing-song voice.

"Now, what do you want?"

"How were my presents?"

"What present- oh wait, you BITCH!"

"Sooo, you didn't like them?"

"Why would I like them?! And how did you know we were going to sleep in the same room anyways?" I

lowered my voice at the last part so that nobody could hear me.

"Oh come on Mimi, I put two and two together. You guys were going to his parents house, wouldn't it be

weird that you would have to sleep in separate rooms?"

"Ugh, fine, you have a point but still, why would you do that Bellaaa?"

"I'll call you later Mimi." She said after laughing hard and then hung up the phone.

At this point I had lost sleep and didn't know what to do. I looked over at Alexander's side of the bed

and was surprised to see him still sleeping, his back faced to me.

I slowly got out of the bed and made my way to the closet after putting on my robe incase he wakes up

and I'm not yet showering.

I picked out a pair of dark blue denim jeans, a white top that stopped just on the waistband of the jeans

and white sneakers. I picked out a pair of undies and a bra then made my way to the bathroom.

Since the power wasn't yet back, I had to have a cold shower! That's right, a cold shower! Which was

freezing by the way.

I washed my hair which took it back to its curly form with strawberry scented shampoo, and used the

strawberry scented body wash that came with it.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body then started piling my body.

I put on deodorant and my under garments then my clothes last. I held my hair up in a messy bun after

oiling it the walked out of the bathroom.

Alexander was still sleeping, surprisingly.

He must be really tired, huh?

I put my pajamas in the laundry basket and hung my gown up on the door of the bathroom when there

was a knock on the door.

"Morning ma- Amelia." The maid from the other day said.

"Morning..."

"It's Aurora." She said with a polite smile on her face.

"Well morning Aurora, how may I help you?"

"Mrs Knight told me to come and call you and Mr Alexander for breakfast."

"Ok thank you, well be down in thirty."

"You're welcome." With that said she turned on her heel and walked away.

I closed the door and turned around to look at a still sleeping Alexander.

"Alexander." I said as I shook him awake.

He groaned and turned to face the other side.

I huffed in annoyance and climbed over him to the other side.

"Alexander, wake up."

"What?" He said, his eyes still closed.

"Wake up, we have to go for breakfast."

He turned over again and I groaned in annoyance.

I climbed over again, but this time he woke up when I was straddling him, my feet on both sides of his

torso.

I froze and widened my eyes.

He did the same thing.

We were just staring at each other, same expressions on both our faces.

"Knock knock." We both turned to the door as Audrey walked in.

I quickly scrambled to get off Alexander and he quickly stood up and made his way to the closet.

Heat crept up my neck and cheeks and I looked over at Audrey who was smirking and wiggling her

eyebrows at the same time.

"Shut up!"

"I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?" She said as she made her way to the bed.

"No! Now shut up!" I said as Alexander walked out of the closet and into the bathroom with out a glance

in our direction.

"I don't know, but does someone look sexually frustrated, Amelia?" Audrey said as she looked at the

bathroom door.

"I swear to god Audrey."

"What? I'm just stating the obvious."

"Whatever, now what are you doing here?"

"Want me to leave so you can continue what you started? Because I mean, I can-"

"Audrey! Would you just shut the fuck up!" I said as heat crept up my neck and cheeks again.

She just laughed and fell back on the bed.

I grabbed my sneakers and socks and swapped my house shoes with them as Alexander walked out of

the bathroom with a towel around his neck and his hair still wet.

He was wearing a black v neck that clung around his arms and torso, black basket ball shorts the

reached him on his knees and black Nike slides with black ankle socks.

"Clothes matching your mood brother? Is it because you are se-"

"Shut up Audrey!" I said as I threw her a glare.

Alexander just shook his head and threw the towel in the laundry basket.

"What are you doing here anyways?" He asked as he got his phone from the bedside table. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"That's the same thing I asked her!" I exclaimed as I also retrieved my phone from my side of the bed.

"I didn't want to sit on the table alone with bitch number one and bitch number two, who by the way, are

surprisingly early for breakfast."

I giggled at what she called Bethany and Alexis while Alexander just raised a perfectly shaped

eyebrow.

Ok, it's obvious now. I have a crush on my boss. Hurray! NOT!

"Aren't mom and dad already there?" Alexander asked as he started walking towards the door.

"Only mom's there and she's always so oblivious to Alexis and Bethany's death glares thrown at me."

Audrey said as we followed Alexander out the door.

"Sooo, how was your night?" I asked Audrey while wiggling my eyebrows.

Her face and neck turned into a dark color of red out of embarrassment.

"Oh shut up, will you?!"

I giggled at her, "so, was it okay? Because your face gives it all away."

"Shut up! And yes, it was even more than ok." She mumbled the last part while looking on the floor.

I giggled again and we fell into a comfortable silence until we reached the dining room.
