chapter 5.'unwanted infant'

It had been two weeks since father said he was coming and he did ... he finally showed up .

We stopped in the infront of my house as I look over at Alex who didn't seem to have a worry in the world. I for one had many reasons to worry .

"Father can be a bit intimidating and observant he can see through anyone and do try not to get angry at whatever he is going to say. "I state calmly

"Don't worry I know a thing or two about such people what can i say i live with them " he then walks out and opens the door on my side of the car for me to get out. We walk into to the house and we see father dearest in the living room....

"Hello my dearest father" I say with the most pretentious smile I could come up with.

"Oh remove that hideous spitefull smile of your face daughter I know you well enough to see you're being pretentious" he says taking his eyes of his phone and looking at me dead set on getting what he wants .

"Well then then father meet Alexander "I meekly say taking a seat and Alex beside me. They both reach out to shake hands firmly and part as father spoke .

"So he is the unlucky boy that my daughter managed to keep" I turn in his direction and place a small kiss on his jaw line , then proceed to stand again and look at my father who's hand is clenched .

" Very well then I'll go and leave you two men to speak . " Turning on my heels and up the stairs i went. .As soon as I got in my room I instantly took out my clothes , folded them neatly on the bed and went to shower

When i was done i wrap myself in a white soft towel and walk of out the bathroom to freshen up only to find Alexander standing by my bookshelf .

My eyes widen in shock and instead of doing anything i freeze processing what just happened. I was not expecting this . He then decides to place the book back amongs the other books and turn my way.

"You almost scared me to death and might I ask what the hell are you doing in my room?? "I deadpan.

"Isn't a boyfriend allowed to see his girlfriend in her room??" grinning as he sits on my bed." And besides your father left for a meeting so I asked one of the servants where your room was and the kind lady showed me and I let myself in . " he shrugs as if he didn't find me in an indecent situation.

"Whatever get out" I say annoyed that he found me in a towel.

"I don't want to ." He replies his eyes darkening as he stands up and walks closer to me , I step back until there was no room left for me to back up . I look up at him ,his face a mere inches from mine. He leans in and whispers in my ear " you'll be happy to know your father was impressed by me" he turns back and I dunno what people mean when they say they feel butterflies but I definitely felt something inside me flatter .

"How? You might aswell be the only person who didn't get intimidated by my him ." He smirks but does not answer insted and starts heading out of the room and as soon as I hear the door close behind him I find myself smiling like a child who just received a hug from her mom .A small frown emerges from my face as I remember that my alleged birthday was approaching soon . I always hated my birthday as it reminded of mom, we shared the same birth date and after she died I hated it. And because I was not really born on that day .

I tie my hair into a loose bun as I was not going anywhere after this dinner and wore my dusty pink pyjamas, slippers to spite step mommy because she always hated me wearing pyjamas to dinner she once said 'It is inappropriate and disgraceful and not not to get unladylike '
