Mr. and Mrs. Executive

Chapter 27

Greg gives me a look that roughly translates to 'what the hell do I look like to you'.

"It's Caleb,everyone knows Caleb. Well except for Damien, oh wait nope, he knows him too."

"Oh." I nod my head in understanding but almost immediately my mind gets distracted as I wait for Alexander.

He said he'd be back an hour ago, it's been twenty minutes since well an hour ago.

"Don't worry babe, he'll be back soon." Greg assures me.

I sigh and nod once more as I lean my head on Greg's shoulder.

*********

For the hundredth time this day I glance at my phone, checking the time.

"Nora you're doing it again." Ben comments as he places a hand on my jittery leg.

"I can't help it." I say sighing nervously.

"Wanna go on a little adventure?"

"Um..." Is all I say as I look at Greg cautiously.

That smile on his face only meant one thing.

Trouble.

"Well you want to know what Alexander's up to right?" He questions.

I stay silent while Ben groans.

"I'll just take you. I mean he is late it's been what two hours now?" Greg continues.

I chew my lip anxiously as my mind goes a mile a minute.

"I don't know..."

"It's completely safe," Greg reassures, "Don't you trust me?"

My face goes blank as I reply immediately.

"Never in a million years."

Greg gasps dramatically as he places a hand to his heart.

"I am offended! But you're right I wouldn't trust me either. That's smart of you Nora."

I smile wryly and then glance at the time.

It's rounding up to three hours.

Even the suns gone down.

"Cmon Nora I'm so bored." Greg coaxes.

Looking from Bens' pleasing look to Greg's excited one, I can't help but to nod my head once more.

"Do you know where Alexander is though?"

"Of course. Damien and Alexander met up with Sam around an hour ago." Greg answers shrugging.

"They did what?"

Greg's face drops as he clears his throat, "I wasn't supposed to tell you that."

I huff in anger as I stand up to get changed, not wanting to go in my sweats.

"Nora you can't be serious!" Ben groans from his seat on the sofa, "Alexander told you to stay here for a reason."

I can't help but to pause in my tracks as I hear him say that.

I mean I didn't just have to think of my own well being now.

"Excuse me? Or you doubting my ability to take care of Nora?" Greg asks, gasping dramatically.

I turn around, still debating on whether to go or not.

Ben rolls his eyes at Greg.

"Yes, I am."

Greg huffs and turns his back on Ben.

Ben rolls his eyes once more as he notices me in the doorway, standing still indecisive.

"Ugh get changed. I'll come with you guys as well."

I grin and rush over to kiss Ben on the cheek– ignoring his scrunched up nose– and then hurry off to get changed.

***********

"What is this place?" I ask wearily as I look out of the cars tinted window.

Greg turns back in his seat as Ben parks the car in the car park while my eyes never leave the flashing neon lights.

"It's where they are." Greg says simply.

"You're freaking me out." Ben mumbles as he too gazes at the place.

All of a sudden a smirk tugs at his lips as he glances at Greg.

"They're all here? You're not messing about?" Ben asks, now grinning in amusement.

"I never mess about." Greg answers solemnly.

I snort as I look back at the both of them, I suspicion increasing.

"What exactly is this place?" I dare to ask.

"That-, Ben says pointing at the building, "- My dear naive sister, is a strip club."

My mouth drops open as I take in the building and then Greg's– all of a sudden– flushed face.

Alexander freaking James!
