16 16. Frantic Alexander

I decided to take one whole day for the spa. I haven't done this in months, I needed this. I need to clear my guilty conscience, after what I did to Francois. God! I'm such a terrible person. I was having a lunch break after the relaxing massage, and decide not to open my phone just yet thinking I might be bothered with works stuff.

Then I had the full body treatments including wax and all the works. I was getting my hair and nails done when I heard a commotion on the front area. I tried to tune it out, but then I heard his voice.

"Mr. Davis, please sir. You can't come in there. This is a woman only facilities, let me get her for you. Please, if you could just wait for her here. I'll be right back Mr. Davis, please have a seat."

God damn it!

Deep down I hope it wasn't him. This was the best spa in town. If he got me kicked out, I have to downgrade on my usual treatments. 

"Ms. Morgan? You have Mr. Davis waiting in our reception area, if you could calm him down that would be great."

Crap!

"Yes, of course. I'll follow you." My beautician nodded, and let me leave my seat.

I was still in my fluffy robe when I saw him. He looked tall, dark, and broodingly handsome in his navy suit, he must've just gotten out from a meeting. "Alex?"

He didn't say anything but gave me a very tight hug. And kissed me deeply, like we haven't seen each other in years. I could hear other ladies sighed in the background.

"Don't ever do that again. Why aren't you picking up your phone?" I put my finger on his lips to shut him up.

"I'll be done in another hour, please wait for me yeah? I'm sorry if I upset you. But I needed this, and you might want to tone it down a bit, I don't want your paparazzi finding out about me. This is my happy place." He groaned but eventually nodded.

"You smell good Addie, I missed you." He gave me another kiss, and finally, let me go.

"I'm going to go somewhere less girly, I'll be back in an hour." He held my face and kissed the top of my head.

I got back to my beautician, and continue doing my nails and hair. An hour later I was finished with my spa day. I put my clothes back on, and get my things. I felt rejuvenated and relaxed.

He was already waiting for me, I was going to settle the payment but apparently, Alex had done that for me. She was also telling me that she's a big fan of him. And I thanked her, for the services today.

"No problem Ms. Morgan, you're welcome anytime time. Just asked for me, and I'll give you our VVIP treatment next time. She gave me her megawatt smile." She was talking to me but looking dreamily at Alex.

Well, at least he made me a VVIP member now. So, I was not going to get mad at him.

"Hey, baby." He smiled at me and kissed my cheek, then he handed me a big pair of sunglasses. "Sorry baby, the paparazzi found me, so we need to hurry up." I sighed as I put on the sunglasses, it was so big it covered half of my face with style. He took me in his embrace and walked me through the paparazzi.

"Alex over here, give me your smile." 

"Alex was the same woman from the restaurant?"

"Alex, why the sunglasses?" 

"Who is she? Is this serious?" 

"Alex, give us something man?

They were calling out his name, flashes of cameras were starting to make me see stars. I didn't know how he gets used to this. But we finally got to his car. The sounds were gone, as we closed the car door. I could finally breathe again.

"Wow, I don't know how you can get used to that. I think I need a darker shade of sunglasses." But he just smiled and rubbed my knuckles. He didn't say anything troughs the twenty minutes drive.

Wow, he was still mad.

We reached his place and he finally let me go. He was pacing back and forth. I was putting my purse on the coffee table and was looking at him. Not sure what to do, why was he so upset. "Alex? Is everything okay?"

"No! It's not Addie. I was fucking worried out of my mind, haven't you open your phone yet?"

Whoops, my bad...

I rummaged my bag and took out my phone and looked at his fifteen text messages, and his twenty missed calls.

"But I texted you already, oh Alex. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you this worked up." I walked up to him and hugged him.

"Fuck! Addie, my mind was thinking the worst. And I didn't like it! I was ready to check the hospitals. Thankfully Kamaria told me to check the spa. And I was livid when they wouldn't let me in to see you. Damn it, Addie, I need to know that I could reach you at all times okay? Your previous message was a bit cryptic. So I was worried." He went to the bar and poured himself a drink.

Wow...still really mad.

I decided to go to him, and poured one for myself and join him. I sat on his lap, trying to calm him down. But then he started asking questions.

"It was Francois, I...he told me that he loves me. It upset me because I didn't love him, I never did. He was a romantic, I felt bad that I had been giving him false hope of future love, for being involved with him sexually." I stroked his hair, and rest my hand on his chest.

"That was why I left the office early, I texted you. And when you didn't reply, I just assumed that you were busy. Then I decided to go to the spa to calm my nerves, it has been months since I went there. So I took a cab and put my stuff in the locker." I sipped my drink and continue while he kept on listening to me. His hand was gripping his glass a bit too tightly.

"Look, I'm sorry Alex. I try not to let that happened again. Okay? I was just so upset. I'll text you with more detailed information next time okay? Forgive me?" I smiled at him seductively, and put down my glass and his.

I straddled him and took his hands to my thighs, then I snaked my hands to his shoulder. He groaned and finally pushed me flat to him, and kiss me hard. He grabbed my ass and squeezed them,  making me moan his name hard.
