While Alyssa followed behind, she lowered her head afraid to lift it and look at him. Alyssa bit her lower lips twitching her hands and praying he would just halt and tell her why he wanted to see her, or why he wanted her to follow him.
When Alexander halted, Alyssa cleared her throat and before the could bump into him from behind she raised her head and stopped immediately with her heart beating so fast. Deep down, Alyssa begged he wouldn't turn back to look at her, her cheeks kept disappointing her when they suddenly turned tomato red.
" Are you still willing to go ahead with the contract?" Alex whispered breaking the silence which filled the room he took her making Alyssa swallow nothing.
Alyssa wanted to give this question a thought. All that she had seen and had gone through since she came to his house-made her develop a doubtful feeling in her heart, but she needed him. Though dangerous, she still wanted him.
The right question Alyssa thought of asking herself was whether she would be able to withstand all the danger which surrounded him. Would she be able to play with the remaining days she had left all because of him?
Alyssa never had plans of giving her life up for him or anyone out there as it would be unfair to let the toy with or have the remaining months of her life. But going back now meant she also wasn't going to fulfill her wish and do everything she wanted with a man.
" Are you?" The question came again making Alyssa return to reality and her gaze glued on his. She has badly wanted and waited for a day like this to come, so why give it up now.
Alyssa just had this stupid thought that she wasn't going to last long with him like something dangerous was gonna come after her even before her time is over.
"Yes, yes I am" Alyssa responded to him rather calmly than usual. Feeble and wanting to have a thought alone, she turned around to leave but he called her back.
" Ms. Alyssa, I'll show you around and let you know my rules as well".
" What about the maids, why can't they do that?" Alyssa questioned back as she didn't want him to do that. Everything that had to do with his rules, she hated it and didn't want to hear him scold her or get mad as usual.
" Because I have something to say at the end " Alexander replied without looking at her but had a good smile attached to his face as he knew she would immediately become frightened.
Lazy to ask questions, Alyssa shook her head in response making him stand up. He started towards her and seeing him come closer, Alyssa held her breath and closed her eyes with her heart thumping so fast.
" Come on... Aren't you coming?"Alex said turning the door knob, while Alyssa immediately opened her eyes. Embarrassed, she cleared her throat and turned to look at him. "Oh.... Following behind you". Hoping the ground would open up and swallow her, thereby saving her from the annoying embarrassment.
Alex smirked with the urge to hold his laughter and act typical. He opened the door trying to ignore her and walked out.
" Mr. Alex " Alyssa called turning to look at the man who was about to take the stairs." Aren't you forgetting something", and took a few steps closer to him.
Surprised, Alex turned back to look at her with two hands tucked in his pocket wondering what she meant. " What do you mean," He asked.
" Quite sure you're forgetting something right here," Alyssa said and pointed toward a table. " Your phone, it's over there." She continued and turned back to look at him.
Alexander blinked his eyes twice walking towards the table, just when he had completely acted cool in front of her. He cleared his throat while he walked past her and grabbed his phone from the table.
" Were you thinking about something serious? How could you forget your phone so easily " Alyssa said trying to hide her mocking face from him.
" That serves you right.." Alyssa confessed within the confine of her mind and giggled making Alex glare at her. " Let's go," Alex said and walked toward the door in a hurry while Alyssa amusingly watched him.
" Everything here shouldn't be any of your concern, make sure you know your limit, and don't you go near things that strictly belong to me," Alex said and continued walking.
" Whatever has my name on it, you shouldn't dare touch or get close to. And whatever happens to me shouldn't concern you either, don't bother yourself with things like that. My house, my rules. We both sleep in different rooms" Alex said and turned to look at her. " I have every right to bring as many ladies as I want into my home, do you the same if you wish but not here". Alex concluded.
Alyssa sighed deeply. She wasn't even expecting anything better from a man who doesn't love. " I can't go out with other men," She said, but that didn't touch Alex or make him glare at her, as he wasn't interested in that.
" No need to go forward with the love aspect, I clearly understand that, "Alyssa said and cleared her throat again." With all that said, would you like to go on a date with me?"
Her words went deep into his head making him give her a confused look." What did you just say?"Alex asked.
