Red String of Fate [PUBLISHED by Bookware]

Chapter 2: Inevitable

"White door." She mumbled and Alexander smiled as he turned the knob with one hand. He strode towards the queen-size bed and laid her down gently. Something caught his eye and he felt guilty when he realized that the red smudges on the inside of her thighs were her blood. He smoothed her bangs off her face as he stood up to leave.  

"Lock the door when you leave. Please." She said as she sat up sleepily.  

"You should sleep." He berated gently as he sat back down on her bed.  

"I need to bathe.I feel sticky." She said as she stood up and winced. Sighing, Alexander picked her up.  

"What are you doing?" She asked.  

"I thought you needed to bathe."  

"Yes, but I can do it on my own." She replied glaring at him.  

"You're sore." He stated plaintively and she opened and closed her mouth as she tried to think of a reply. He deposited her to her feet and turned the shower on, testing the temperature. Alexa watched him as he pushed her gently under the shower and proceeded to bathe her as if she were a child. She opened her mouth to say something when she felt his hands soaping her.  

"Excuse....excuse me." She said and he raised his brow at her.  

"Yes?" He asked acting as if bathing her was an everyday occurrence as he reached for the shampoo and poured some into his palm. Her face flamed with indignation. She stood immobile as he lathered the shampoo on her hair and rinsed it thoroughly before going under the shower himself. Okay, we had sex and now we're sharing a bath? She thought as she looked at the back of his head where a part of his hair was still soapy. Clucking her tongue, she tiptoed as she thoroughly rinsed his hair. 

Alexander stilled when he felt her hands on his head. Turning around to face her he bent down to kiss her lips and smiled triumphantly when he felt her arms snake around his neck. She sighed against his mouth as he lifted her off the slippery, tiled floor, her legs wrapped around his hips automatically and he hastily grabbed the towel hanging by the rack as he walked towards the door and into her room...  

Alexander stirred feeling a dead weight on his chest. Moaning, he looked at his watch. Six thirty in the morning? Ang aga. He thought as he tried to turn into his side but stopped when he felt something move on top of him. He lifted the blanket and saw a mop of silky black hair. He stared at the silken tresses in confusion for a second before memory flooded his mind and rushed to his groin - chocolate brown eyes, soft, pink lips, flawless, porcelain skin...  

Alexa roused, unsure of what woke her up. She rubbed her face against her pillow and stopped when she heard someone moan. Looking up she felt herself blush when she saw black orbs regard her with interest.  

"You're awake..." He said in an almost breathy voice and Alexa blushed some more. Mas gwapo pala to pag umaga. She thought as she raised herself against his chest.  

Alexander looked at the girl's face up close. She looks familiar. He thought and held his breath when she moved, waking up a part of him that he'd rather not wake. Interesting. He whispered as he felt her gasp making his member twitch inside her. 

Now, this is embarrassing. Alexa thought as she began to ease her body off him, the movement making her bite her lips.  

"Shit..." He whispered as he flipped them to reverse their positions. He started to thrust inside her not taking his eyes off hers. Slowly, he moved in and out of her watching her face all the time. She moaned aloud when his unhurried strokes brought her to the brink once again. He followed her shortly before slumping against her.  

"Good morning." He said before he kissed her forehead.  

"I'll burn in hell for sure." She mumbled as she felt him ease out of her before settling beside her, hugging her to his chest.  

"Sleep...let's talk about hell later." He mumbled smiling before he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.  

Alexa suddenly bolted upright. She looked at her alarm clock and shrieked as she ran towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. She dressed in record time as her phone rang. 

"Hello?" 

"Miss Lianna, nasa airport na po ba kayo?" The familiar voice on the other line asked and she grimaced with guilt. 

"Papunta na po, paano po yung mga gamit ko dito pati ang kotse ko?"  

"Kami na po ang bahala dyan, merong tauhan ang Daddy nyo na pupunta dyan para ayusin lahat." 

"Okay po." She replied as she ran a comb through her hair. She grabbed her DKNY shades and used it to keep her bangs off her face. 

"Wag kayong mag-alala, Miss Lianna merong mag-aayos ng lahat ng kailangan nyo."  

"Thank you po, Manong Edgardo..." Alexa said before she ended the call. She looked around to see if there was something she forgot to pack and her eyes fell on the man sleeping on her bed.  

"Hey." She said nudging his shoulder but he turned his head and grabbed a pillow to cover his ears. She groaned as she looked at her wristwatch. Ten in the morning na, mali-late pa yata ako! She thought panicking. "Hey..." She tried again as she pulled the pillow off his head. 

"Nick, stop it!" He mumbled and she arched her brow. Sinong Nick? She murmured and shook her head, she doesn't have time to think about who Nick is because she's already running late. She hastily scribbled a note and tucked it on her headboard. "Bye." She said, her heart breaking at the idea of not seeing him again. "Thank you, Richard." She whispered kissing the top of his head before she left.
