Sold to my crush

Lily’s POV

“Baby, are you even listening”, I was shook back to reality by Alex who had a concerned look on his face.

“Ye… yeah. I am listening”. I responded as I shook my head in a yes manner rapidly.

Alex just sighed and had a look that said he did not believe me one bIt. “Yeah right”. He said sarcastically while rolling his eyes. “I’ve been trying to get your attention for a while now”.

I wonder where he was getting all these sassiness from.

“Are you sure you want to go ahead with this?”. He asked softly with his hands rubbing my cheek.

He seemed to do that a lot, but I wasn’t complaining. I absolutely loved the attention.

“It’s okay.” I responded trying to convince him and even myself that I was fine with it.

I was too lost in my thoughts that I did not hear Alex call out to me and he definitely right that I was not ready to face Chase yet but I had to.

I believe I need to in order to move forward with my life, instead of being stuck in my younger body reliving the moment daily.

“We could always just go back in, I want to know that you’re okay with this. That is my priority. We can go whenever you’re ready. There is no rush.” How was this man able to say the right things and make we feel better whenever. He was literally the best.

I exhaled and squeezed his hand tightly. “It’s alright.”. We were already seated in the car and ready to leave. It was pointless to chicken out at this point and I believe that If I do now, it would take the grace of the lord for Alex to believe that I was finally ready.

“Are you sure?”. Alex pressed in again with raised brows.

“Yes baby.” I responded shyly. I had just started using endearments one Alex after he literally whined last night that he wanted me to stop calling him Alex. That we were a couple and it was improper for me not to not call him a sweet endearing name.

I had a few names picked out already in my heart like pookie, sweetheart or Mi Vida, which is Spanish for ‘my life’. That one definitely explains his significance to me cause my whole world revolves around him. He was the bane of my existence.

But I was afraid of calling him that, maybe he would think I was already doing too much so soon. So I just opted for the most common one. As time goes, I’m sure we would get to that point.

Alex cheeks immediately tinted red at my words. He looked shy even and I wish I could just capture this moment and keep it forever.

“Okay baby, put on your seat belt”. Alex said when he was a bit convinced that I was ready to go and face Chase. He glanced at me shortly before putting the key into the ignition and zoomed off.

I had managed to finally convince Alex to take me to Chase and I was not going to ruin my efforts with my stupid nerves.

Truth is, I was just conflicted inside. I wondered how I would actually feel and react seeing Chase in whatever position he might be in.

But I’m guessing it wouldn’t be pleasant judging from the look on Alex’s face when he confessed that he had captured Chase and his reasons for doing so.

Would I be happy?, sad?, or indifferent. Was this really the punishment he deserved for what he did to me?. Was I the one to decide what punishment he truly deserved?.

All through the ride, Alex kept one of his hands on my thighs that were covered in wide legs navy blue pants.

I had woken up today with the strong desire to be someone else or better still I wanted to just look better. Maybe because I was seeing Chase today and I wanted him to know that the things he did to me did not affect me and i was doing well.

I wore the pants with a red long sleeved shirt and some black heels. I also carried a blue purse which contained my phone and lipgloss. What else would I need?.

I really think that Alex intentionally squeezed my thighs every now and then so I would not drift in to my own world and overthink, but regardless I was grateful for him.

He flashed me a small smile and returned the smile. He turned away from me to focus on the road and I used that opportunity to finally admire my gorgeous husband.

He was in his usual office attire but every single time it eats. He wore a grey three prince suit that was having a contest with his beautiful grey eyes. He looked stunning. I looked down at his sexy long fingers that held on to the steering then on to his strong thighs that strained in his pants.

“Like what you see ?”. I gulped and quickly looked away when Alex had caught me staring at him.

The car had come to a stop at a red light and Alex had turned to focus entirely on me.

He had a smug look on his face and I am sure as hell that he loved taunting me like that. “If you keep staring at me like that, I would pull over and fuck you over this car”.

My cheeks tinted crimson red and my face was definitely on fire because I was feeling so hot. I squeezed my thighs together to ease the pressure that was already building down there because of Alex.

Damn him for always making me hot and bothered.!

He caught on what I did and chuckled while drawing slow circles on my thighs dangerously close to my sex. “I could help you with princess, just say the word.”

I just stared him breathing heavily. All I can say is that I wish I had put on a damn mini skirt. It could have made all these easy for me.

He continued teasing me with his hands. I let myself relax and enjoy the feeling. He moved closer to me and I did too as I prepared to taste him once again.

It almost happened. I almost had a taste of heaven again before some stupid man horned like a mad dog and screamed at us to move.

Apparently the red light had changed to green but we were oblivious to that.

I guess I wasn’t the only frustrated person as Alex hissed and grunted at the rude interruption. He shamelessly adjusted his pants and I nervously looked away when I saw his huge budge.

He laughed before zooming off again to our destination.

We continued driving for hours until Alex made a turn into a deserted road, more like a path in a forbidden forest.

I panicked immediately, was this really going to be the end of me?, Maybe Alex was pretending this whole time and now he was tired so he brought me here to cut out my intestines.

I should probably write my will now. Give out my sneakers and my favorite hoodie to some neighbors . I think I should do that now.

“Calm down princess.” Alex said with a small smile as it seemed he noticed my inner turmoil. “It’s just me and I would never hurt you”. He said with a serious expression on his face.

“Alright.” I sighed relived that today was not my last day on earth when there were so many things that I haven’t done yet.

“Do you trust me princess?”. He asked softly.

Did I trust him?, why would he even ask me that. What was his definition of trust?.

Does he mean if I just trust that he won’t kill me here or hurt me physically?. If that’s the case then yes I do trust him. But if his definition of trust also covers that I trust him not to hurt my feelings or leave me for someone else then I’m not so sure about that.

I do love Alex and I’m sure that recently he has been showing me acts of love. But to say that I trust him entirely would make me a fool, and I was done being that.

“Not entirely”. I answered truthfully.

He face morphed into that of sadness and his eyes grew softer. “I understand your reason for that princess, but I want you to know that I love you. I can’t explain why and how I feel this way. You’re the reason my heart beats now. My every thought is consumed by you. I promise to show you how much I love you and gain your trust, no matter what it takes.”

The car comes to stop and I just stare at Alex not knowing what to respond to that confession. I felt so overwhelmed by it.

Why would Alex feel those things for me. It was all too surreal . I did not know how else to respond cause my vocabulary had failed me so I jumped on him and captured his luscious lips in mine.

Alex did not fail to welcome me immediately as his lips moved with mine in a certain rhythm. He kissed me back like he understood what I was trying to say through the kiss.

I pulled back to catch my breath and stared into his Grey eyes as I made my confession. “I love you endlessly Alex and I promise to be by your side always. I’m not going anywhere.”

He looked away from me trying to hide his tinted cheeks but I had already seen them. I chuckled at his action and he joined me.

He placed a small kiss on my cheek. “We’re here”.

I looked around and noticed how deep into the forest we had gotten in. The place was so deserted except from the abandoned warehouse we had parked in front of.

I wondered how Alex even found such a place and the length he went to, to capture and keep Chase here. That was really shady but I begged myself not to over think it, at least not now.

Alex removed his seat belt and got down from the car. I removed mine and before I could get the door, Alex beat me to it.

He helped me out and I whispered a small thank you.

We walked hand in hand until we got to the entrance.

“Are you ready?.” Alex asked again as he squeezed my hands to comfort me.

He really should stop asking me that. The question makes me think of the worst. Like I’m about to walk in on dogs eating Chase out bit by bit.

“Yes.” I sighed.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He gave me a nod and led me into the warehouse.
