Now and Forever

Chapter 11

As we got closer and closer towards Alexander's parent's house I couldn't help but get more and more

nervous. I spread the fingers of my left hand out and admired the silver ring that sat on my fourth finger.

The commotion of the city was left behind as we turned on a road where the houses got larger and

larger. We turned a corner and at the end of the road, there was a black gate with beautiful golden

designs running all over it.

When we got to the gate, Alexander pressed a button and then put in a passcode of some sort. The

gate opens up and we drive around a beautiful fountain with the design of a mermaid, it was really

beautiful.

We approached a very beautiful house- no! Mansion that looked like it had three floors. It was covered

in vines that made it look kind of vintage with the vines blooming very beautiful blue flowers that shone

under the moonlight.

Alexander pulled up in front of the house and turned off the ignition of the car. He sighed and turned to

me. "We're going to have to share a room." He said. "What?! Why?!" I complained. "We're supposed to

be an engaged couple Amelia. Don't you think it would be weird if we don't share a room?" He asked

with a raised eyebrow.

I just sighed as he opened the door and walked out of the car and towards the front door.

I opened the door and walked out of the slowly. "Can you hurry the fuck up!" Alexander whisper

shouted. I just rolled my eyes at him and quickened my pace.

We walked into the house and I gawked at the beauty of the interior. There was a staircase leading to

the next floor with a glass banister and a red carpet on the steps. There were two corridors on either

side of us leading to other rooms I'm yet to find out. "Mom! We're here!" Alexander shouted, breaking

me out of my reverie.

The sound of heels clicking on the granite floor caught my attention. I turned my head towards the

corridor on the right and a woman that looked around her mid fifties with blonde hair that was reaching

her shoulders in bob form made her way towards us. I think she was Alexander's mother because of

the resemblance the two shared.

She gave Alexander a big hug and kissed him on both cheeks. I giggled at the face he made when she

left lipstick iron his cheeks.

My giggle seemed to turn her attention on me since she turned towards my direction. Alexander put

both his hands on my waist and shiver ran down my spine. What the fuck Amelia?! Where's this even

coming from?! I scolded myself.

"Mama," Alexander started off, "this is my fiancée, Amelia." He introduced me. I put my hand out for a

handshake, "nice too meet you Mrs Knight." I said but instead got engulfed in a bone crushing hug.

"You're so beautiful Tesoro." She gushed out after breaking away from the hug. All I did was look down

at floor as a blush creeped in on my neck. I had studied some Italian in high school so I understood

some of it for example, Tesoro meant sweetheart.

"So, how-" "no mama, we're tired and would like to go get some rest now, questions for tomorrow at

breakfast." Alexander interrupted his mom as he took ahold of my hand pulling me away from her. "Ok,

no problem teddy bear! Goodnight!" Alexander groaned and I tried to stifle a giggle at the nickname his

mom gave him.

I tried to ignore the tingles that were there when Alexander let go of my hand when we were out of his

mother's sight but couldn't. I mean, where is all this crap even coming from?

We walked up the stairs and walked down the hallway passing many doors as we went. Alexander

stopped in front of a white door then opened it and didn't even bother letting me go in first. How rude!

I wasn't at all surprised at the size of the room. There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room

with white beddings and many pillows stacked on top of it. On the wall opposite the bed had a huge t.v

mounted on it with a small glass table underneath it. On either sides of the tv were two doors, which I

was assuming were the bathroom and closet. On the wall opposite of where we stood in the door way

had glass doors which led to what I assumed was the balcony.

As I continued looking around I spotted my suitcase and duffle bag next to the table underneath the t.v.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion to look around for any sign of Alexander's stuff. Didn't he travel

with any? I turned around opening my mouth to ask him where his stuff were but he beat me to it. "I

already have clothes here so I don't need to travel with any." He said with a blank look on his face. I

nodded my head and made my way to my suitcase to get my pajamas out.

I heard a door open and close and heard the shower start. I unzipped my suitcase and and started

looking for any sign of my pajamas. As I was looking for them, I gasped at what was before me.

I picked up the black piece of lingerie in my hands and gawked at it. How in the world- of course! I © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

hadn't packed my suitcase, it was Bella! That's why she didn't want me to open my suitcase! That little

piece of- my sentence was cut off by the bathroom door opening. I threw it back into my suit case and

quickly shut it scrambling to climb on top of it.

Alexander walked out of the bathroom with his hair wet and a towel around his neck. He furrowed his

eyebrows in confusion as I viciously blushed. I looked up to find him still looking at me questionably. I

chuckled nervously looking away from him to the floor.

I saw him shake his head and walk away towards the desk where his laptop sat through my peripheral

vision.

I made sure he had his back faced to me so I opened up my suitcase again and hid it under the many

piles of clothes. As I was still looking for my pajamas, a piece of cloth that was rose gold and had a silk

material caught my eye. I pulled it out and gasped at what I was looking at.

It was a pair of nightwear that included a pair of shorts that ended just under my butt and a top that had

spaghetti straps. I set it aside and looked some more until I found the exact same nightwear but in a

deep blue color.

I continued searching for another two minutes and had found two more pairs of the exact same night

wear but in different colors. What in the world am I going to do?! I can't wear this if I'm in the same

room as him!

I sighed in defeat as I made my way to the bathroom to have a shower and change. I popped my head

out of the door to the lookout for Alexander. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on my side and there he was,

sitting at the desk, his laptop in front of him. Doesn't he ever get tired of work? Each time he would

move his hands his back muscles would bulge, making his grey shirt look like it was going to go pop! At

any minute.

I tried to discreetly walk towards the bed without making any sounds, key word being tried. "I just want

to check on them real quick." Came his mother's voice from outside of the door. At this Alexander shut

his laptop lighting speed and abruptly stood up leaving me frozen With my eyes wide open when he

saw me.

His eyes widened and his mouth slightly parted when he looked me up and down. "Let then sleep

Melanie! They've had such a long flight!" Came a man's voice which sounded a lot closer now.

"Quick, get into the bed now!" Alexander whisper shouted. No need to tell me twice! I hopped into the

bed and Alexander hopped in after me. I felt him wrap his hand around my waist and pulled me closer

to his hard rock chest and switched off the bedside table light.

I tried wiggle out of his hold but held me tighter. "Would you stop fucking moving for one second!" He

whispered in my ear, making a shiver run down my spine.

I was about to protest but our bedroom door opened and I quickly shut my eyes pretending to be

asleep, assuming Alexander did the same.

"Aww," Melanie cooed, "they're so cute together David!" She said to the man who's voice I had heard

earlier on. "Okay, okay I agree, but let them sleep will you?!" He said and the door shut.

Alexander immediately untangled his arm from my body and moved away from me, leaving me to feel

cold at the loss of warmth his body brought to me. What the hell Amelia! Where the fuck is this even

coming from?

He got off the bed and went back to doing his work until sleep pulled me in.
