"Sarah I don't have time for this-"

"No" She simply said pulling me by my hand. "Ari, you need a break and new clothes yours are so old they're decomposing"

"I don't have money-"

"I know you've been working extra and you need to treat yourself" She insisted and pulled me into a shop.

A lingerie shop.

"God! Look at that hot pink one! I bet that would look bomb on you" She giggled and then ran off to go check out other colors.

I shook my head. This girl is so hyped all the time.

But I love her for it.

"Aria! You should try this one!" she said excitedly holding up a lacey dark blue bra.

"Sarah there's no need for the whole shop to hear us" I whisper-yelled blushing.

"Whatever, I'll go try the hot pink one" She scoffed holding back a giggle.

She was out in two minutes rocking the hot pink bra. She twirled around looking in the mirror.

"Well I'm not as blessed as you in that area but I have to say I look fine" She grinned. "Aria go try something too!" she whined and went back into the fitting room.

I thought I should go check some out too since we're here.

I went home holding four shopping bags.

And I held myself back a lot today.

"I'm never going shopping with you again" I told Sarah.

"We needed this" Sarah said. She was holding 7 bags.

"I also need money you know?"

"Yeah okay, I'll be off now. Love you!" She blew me a kiss and got into her taxi.

When I got into the apartment the first thing I saw was Alexander sitting on the couch cross-legged holding a newspaper.

Wearing glasses. It was hot. He can be my dadd-

"Well, well, well" He muttered as he raised an eyebrow smirking at my shopping bags. "I see you've got some new clothes there. Would you model them for me?" He winked.

I'm dead.

"I-I" I stuttered the bags slipping from my hands. "I'm tired so no" I said boldly.

"That's a shame I know there's new lingerie in there I bet they're lace too, I know you love it" He smirked and put down his newspaper putting his hands behind his neck.

I can see his muscles flex.

I'm dead pt2.

"Not today Satan! " I yelled and run off into my room before quickly shutting the door.

"I believe you forgot these" I saw Alexander leaning on my wall holding up the bags. "Let's see" He muttered smirking and shoved his hand into a bag.

The lingerie back.

"No don't!"

But it was too late. He had pulled out the lacey panties.

"Wow I love the dark blue one and I see there is a fitting bra here" he smirked. My face had turned into a strawberry by now I just wanted to disappear into thin air. "Aria, that's a big cup size I see-"

Before he could say anything else I snatched everything away from him.

"Enough. Leave" I said feeling my cheeks as heated as ever.

"Aw babygirl I'd love to stay but I have some work to do so I'll see you tomorrow, I made dinner, don't wait for me. I'll miss you" he said kissing me on the forehead and walking away.

I just stood there feelings as embarrassed as ever. I heard the door open and close after a few minutes indicating he's gone now.

After that I was left alone with my thoughts. After a week I was finally not busy and that was not good, not good at all.

I recalled uncle Rob's words.

Your brother called. He's asking for you.

I couldn't let my brother find me. Why can't he understand I don't want him in my life.

He was the only person in my life I thought would always have my back as bad as he treated me and I always had his back. Took me a few years to realize the ungrateful brat didn't even care about the gazillion things I had done for him.

Even though he was 4 years older than me I was the one who always protected him. I was the one who was there for him and he didn't even care. All that mattered was that he got what he wanted.

He was just straight up a bad person.

But for some reason now I was less afraid. Something about having Alex by my side now. He had protected me so many times that I felt really safe knowing he's with me. Something about him just gave off a vibe of power even though he was just a normal person.

His hotness was abnormal though.

I decided it wasn't a good idea to think right now, so I took all my new clothes and started washing them.

--------
When I woke up the next day I noticed I had woken up a lot earlier. I had nothing to do so I planned on taking a long shower and then making breakfast. I hadn't eaten a good breakfast in a long time.

I miss food, I miss uncle Rob's incredible cooking skills.

I opened the bathroom door only to see that Alex was in fact here.

In the bathroom.

Shirtless. With only a towel wrapped dangerously low on his waidt showing off his v line. I noticed his hair was dripping wet and the water beads were traveling down his abs only to disappear later into the towel. I also noticed the big tattoo covering his shoulders and half his arms.

God help me, I didn't think I had a thing for tattoos before but now it was turning my insides into jelly.

"Gee, you're shameless, coming into the bathroom while I'm showering and checking me out" he chuckled.

"I-I thought you weren't home! I just wanted to shower" I pouted feeling my face heat up.

"So tell me princess, you like?" He smirked.

"N-no! I mean you're not ugly, you're handsome but I am definitely not attracted to you. Never"

God I'm panicking.

"Not that you're not attractive I just I-" I trailed off when he stepped closer putting his hand under my chin.

"Princess, don't lie to me, tell me what you feel"

"I-you" he hummed for me to continue. "I need to shower"

"Want help?" he whispered seductively.

"N-no! Leave"

"Fine. I'll go make breakfast" He chuckled and walked out. As he walked away I noticed the tattoo was covering his back too. It looked like dark wings and it was really pretty.

After showering I got dressed went into the kitchen to have some breakfast. I saw Alex making pancakes. As soon as he noticed me he turned his head to me and smirked.

"I made some pancakes for my babygirl~" He sang cheerfully.

"Want help?" I asked. Honestly it didn't look like he needed any. He looked comfortable in the kitchen and really confident. The pancakes looked delicious and fluffy too.

"No, I'm almost done" he said and flipped the last one onto the plate before turning off the stove. He quickly cleaned up everything and sat in the chair in front of me. "Tell me if you like it" He smiled putting some pancakes on his plate.

Let me tell you this boy can cook. The syrup-soaked pancake melted into my mouth and tasted like a fluffy heaven.

"Alexander this is literally the best pancake I've ever had" I moaned at the tastelicking some syrup off my thumb. I noticed he had a piercing gaze on me like he was studying my every movement.  Did he even hear what I said?

"Yeah, thanks" he said faintly but he seemed to be in his own world.

"Won't you-" my words were muffled by his lips. It was so unexpected I didn't know how to react. I didn't even seem to realize what was happening. He had just leaned over the table and locked our lips biting and licking on them.

I gasped surprised but the sneaky demon took the opportunity and shoved his tongue in.

Saying it felt good would be an understatement.

As much as I wanted to my tongue didn't touch his and I did all I could to keep it away from his but he wasn't having any of it. He cupped my head so I couldn't move away and deepened the kiss. He kept letting out sexy noises in the process.

I lifted my hand and cupped his jaw to move him away.

"Why?" he whined as he kept trying to come close to me again as much as I tried to hold him back.

"W-we need to eat" I stuttered.

"Whatever my princess wants" He sighed and sat normally at his seat.

His princess. He said I'm his princess.

My heart did a somersault and I felt warm inside.

Suddenly my phone rang.

"Ari we're going out tomorrow" I heard Sarah's hyped voice. "With my brother, he wants to see you"

My smile quickly faded. I saw Alex stop eating and giving me a 'what is wrong' look.

I loved Sarah's brother. I even used to have a silly crush on him when I was ten since he is really good looking and five years older, but his arrival made me think my brother is probably back too, especially after what uncle Rob said. I love Caleb and he loves me too, but he is also my brother's best friend and I feel like I can't trust him right now.

"Look Aria, I know you're scared but it's just for a few hours and also my brother loves you and he knows Leo is toxic and shouldn't find you" she said.

"Fine okay" I sighed after a long pause. "But if I see anything suspicious I'll leave right then and there"

"I know Aria, I promise I'll try to spy on him a little to see if he's up to anything just in case" she whispered and hang up.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked.

"Nothing, it was Sarah her brother is back and he wants to hang out with us" I said. And regreted it after.

"No"

"I didn't ask?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Me neither" he insisted.

"You must be kidding me" My voice went a little higher.

"You're right I'm acting like an ass right now, I'm sorry" He sighed and buried his fingers into his incredibly soft looking hair.

I just want to play with his hair all day.

"I just don't like seeing you around other guys. I get all angry and moody-"

"Jealous?" I giggled. He immediately looked up at me with a soft smile.

"If it will make you giggle like that then yes, I am jealous" He murmured making my face heat up.

"I'll be off now" I said standing up. I had to go to class. I opened the front door but it was slammed closed by a hand. I turned around and saw Alex smirking.

"You're not leaving till I get my goodbye kiss" He smirked formed into a beautiful breathtaking smile. I got into my tip toes and pecked his lips before opening the door and scurrying off.

The last thing I saw before closing the door was Alexander completely taken aback and touching his lips.
