Now and Forever

Chapter 34

Alexander P.O.V

"Come in." I replied when there was knock at the door of my study.

"Oh there you are, I've been looking everywhere for you!" Leila strutted in wearing a pair of Amelia's

sweatpants and shirt.

"Why were you looking for me?" I took off my glasses and leaned back in my chair, crossing my arms in

the process.

"Well I came here to work silly!" She giggled and walked over to my desk.

"Couldn't wait till tomorrow? Because it's really late right now." I put my glasses back on and continued

reading through the files that were in either hand.

"If it could I wouldn't be here now would I? And besides, working a little overtime wouldn't be the end of

the world now would it?" She crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side.

"Now, what do you want me to do?" She grabbed the files that were in my hands in less than three

seconds and skimmed through them, pushing a piece of hair that fell into her face behind her ear.

Okay I'm not gonna lie, Leila is really attractive and I don't know why it makes me feel guilty even

thinking about her name when Amelia and I aren't a real thing but it just does.10

"Okay, so it says here Mr Williams, the CEO of Kord Industries wants us to put an investment in his

company so I'm going to-" Leila looked up and looked around on the table, probably looking for a

phone.

"Leila?" I snapped her attention back to me.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"It stopped raining." She looked outside and back to me with pure confusion spread across her face.

"So?"

"So... It means you can go home now. Come on, I'll walk you to the front door." I stood up and gestured

her to walk ahead of me.

"Fine!" She huffed and walked out of the room, me following behind her.

"Just a second, I'll be right back." Amelia said to the rest of the girls when we walked past the living

room.

"Are you leaving already?" She asked Leila and handed her what looked like the clothes she was

wearing before washed and ironed, folded in a neat pile.

"Yeah, I apparently have to go back home but thank you for everything! I really appreciate it all." Leila

said and Amelia just smiled and nodded her head.

The funny part? That actually wasn't Amelia's real smile, so why was she putting on a fake one? But

Leila didn't seem to notice and walked out of the house.

"What was that all about?" I asked when she had closed the door.

"What was what all about?" She crossed her arms and put all her weight on one leg like she knew I

was going to ask that question.

"You-"

"Amelia- oh hi Alex, can we borrow Amelia for I don't know, the whole night?" Audrey walked over and

grabbed Amelia's hand.

"But we're not-"

"Yes we are! Don't worry hon you'll have me back even before you know it!" Amelia emphasized on the

word 'hon' and I could see the lightest of smirks resting on her lips.

"Thank you! You're the best!" Audrey dragged her away before I could even reply and slammed the

door shut upon their entry, making me roll my eyes.

"Alexander." *poke* *poke*

"Alexander." *poke* *poke*

"Alexa-"

"What?!" I grabbed the persons hand before they could poke me again which made them gasp in

surprise. I opened my eyes only to see Amelia kneeling beside the bed looking terrified.

The sound of the thunder rumbling and lightning crackling outside and litter patter sounds of the rain

hitting against the windows gave me a pretty good idea of what was going on.

"What time is it?" I ran my hand up and down my face, not fully awake.

"It's 2am." She answered in a heartbeat and jumped a little when there was a loud crack outside.

"Fine-" she immediately jumped over me and into the covers.

She looked at me as if asking for permission and I at the slight nod of my head she straight away out

her head on my chest and rested her hand on my torso, making my shirt ride up.

Well this is new...

I wrapped an arm around her shoulder to make myself comfortable and just left my other arm lying by

my side.

After a few minutes her breaths had gotten even and just as I was about to gently slide her off me, she

grabbed a fistful of my shirt, exposing more of my torso and came closer to me if that was even

possible and in the process put her leg in-between mine and wanna know the funniest thing? It felt

1000 times more comfortable than our previous position.

When I tried to slide her off again she just tightened the grip on my shirt and moved her head further

into my chest, making it difficult to slide her off.

You know what? Never mind.

*snap*

The sound of a camera went off, making me open my eyes but closing them back due to the amount of

sunlight streaming through the windows.

You might think it didn't rain at all last night.

"No no take another one! Another one!" The sound of Isabella's voice and another snap going off made

me open my eyes again.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked in a groggy voice.

"You guys are so cute!" Alexis said, avoiding my question and what does she mean-

My thoughts were cut short when I realized my position...

My head was on Amelia's chest and by chest I mean chest and I was holding her petit frame like I was

holding on for dear life while her fingers were in my hair like she was brushing it but just stopped

midway.

I immediately sat up which caused Amelia to groan and also wake up, confusion falling upon her face

when she sees Isabella and Alexis.

"I got it- oh guys! I told you not to disturb them until I came back!" Audrey walked into the room with a

camera in hand.

"I'm sorry but what's going on?" Amelia sat up and rubbed her eyes, probably trying to get rid of sleep.

"But you were taking so long they could have woken up so we just used my phone." Isabella explained

and dramatically fell on the bed, totally ignoring Amelia's question.

"But-"

"How did you guys even get in here?" I cut Audrey off before they could start a never ending argument.

"The door was unlocked." Alexis answered like it was the most obvious thing which made me look back

at Amelia who just put on an apologetic look on her face.

"But we got some nice pic-" I looked at Isabella who immediately shut up when I did.

"It's too early for this. Now, get out." I pointed to the door and one by one, including Amelia filed out of

the room.

Now, what the hell just happened?!
