Chapter 7: Stalker

Time flies. It feels like just yesterday Alexandria found about her pregnancy but in reality it's been two weeks. Vincenzo had gotten the memo that she's sick some days ago and would occasionally buy her stuffs to make her feel gazillion times better and the gesture would be so sweet that she'd start crying. Neither Mandy nor Vincenzo knows what's up and she'd like to keep it that way.

Sally went back home a few days later after Alexandria told her the news saying she's got business to attend to and that the boys still has school. Alexandria couldn't help but feel a little suspicious of her best friend.

It's a friday in the evening and Alexandria is curled up on the couch in Vincenzo's living room watching breaking dawn part one.

This is the one hundredth time I'm watching this movie but it doesn't fail to leave me speechless every time - (she thinks)

Mandy is upstairs locked in her room...still grumpy about Jeremiah and Micheal leaving since they're the only two kids who converse with her.

The door open and Vincenzo walk in looking like a snack as usual in his armani suit. Alexandria lick her lips as her eyes rake over his body taking in every muscle and bulge. Since she's pregnant - her hormones have skyrocket to the roof especially when it comes on to Vincenzo.

Vincenzo: (look at her and smirk) "Hi beautiful"

Alexandria: "Hey - it's 4:30...what are you doing here so early?"

He raise an eyebrow at her and she smile sweetly at him.

Vincenzo: "I'm the ceo....I take time off whenever"

Alexandria: (lick her lips) "Oh really now?"

He put down his suitcase and walk over to her slowly with a smirk and she grin knowing what's going to come next.

Vincenzo: "How long you think it's going to take before Mandy knows I'm here?" (he ask untying his tie)

Alexandria: "Give or take.....a few minutes"

Vincenzo pounce on her and she silently giggle at his antics.

Vincenzo: "Let's do this then" (he says and kiss her roughly)

Monday came around fast and suddenly...Alexandria is in the classroom again watching as the kids run around and play before their free session ends.

The door open and she look up from a bunch of papers to see Mr. Malburrow walk in with a easy smile on his face. His brown eyes land on hers and she internally start screaming as he walk to her desk slowly without even sparing the little kids a glance.

Maleek: "Hello Ms. Clarke"

Alexandria: (plaster on a fake smile) "Hi Mr.Malburrow - to what do I owe this lovely pleasure?"

Maleek: "Always so professional - huh?"

Alexandria: "It's my job Mr.Malburrow"

Maleek: "Please just call me Maleek'

Alexandria look up at him and stare in his brown eyes that hold amusement.

Maleek: "Anyways Alexandria - I want you to go on a date with me"

Alexandria: (raise an eyebrow) First of all it's not okay to call me by my first name because we're not friends and second of all - I'm not going on a date with you

She say it low enough that he could hear but the children couldn't.

Maleek: "Think about it" (he says and take an envelope out of his side jacket and give to her)

She give him a harsh glare as he fix his suit then walk out with a cocky smile.

Alexandria look up to see Mandy looking at her with concern. She give the little girl and a reassuring smile then look down at the envelope with furrowed eyebrows.

--------

Alexandria open the envelope and a few pictures slide out. She furrow her eyebrows and look at one closely only to gasp. It's a picture of her when she had bought the pregnancy test in a pharmacy.

She look at the other pictures to see that they're pictures with her alone. One specific one is with her in only her bra and panties. Alexandria look over to the window behind her and cover her mouth feeling a tear sliding down her face.

She remember that day like it was just yesterday. The A.C had stopped working and the place was so hot. The curtains were open letting in cold breeze and she didn't bother to close it because she couldn't stand heat.

Alexandria had walk over to the window looking out and smiling. It's not like Vincenzo had neighbors or anything so she had felt as safe as could be.

Her hands tremble and the pictures fall out of her hand.

She hear the front door open downstairs and quickly take up the pictures, shove them back in the envelope and hide them under the bed.

Vincenzo: "I'm home!" (he shouts)

Alexandria wipe her tears and walk downstairs supporting a fake grin.

Mandy run up to him and he look at Alexandria for a couple of minutes with scrutinizing look like he could see straight through her.

Alexandra: "Who wants to watch twilight?" (she says breaking the tense silence between her and vincenzo)

Vincenzo and Mandy groan and she chuckle softly momentarily forgetting about the pictures.

---------------

Alexandria walk up to the principal's office and slam her fist against the door harshly. She can't believe she's about to do this but what other choice did she have?

The door open and one of the teachers she occasionally talk to open the door and give her a shy but pained smile. Alexandria tried to maintain eye contact with the short blonde but she quickly walk way.

Alexandria look up to see Mr.Malburrow giving her a look.

Maleek: "Come in Alexandria"

She walk in and he close the door softly then turn to her with a smirk.

Maleek: "I'm guessing you reconsidered mu suggestion"

Alexandria: "Your freaking crazy..wait until I report this to the police" (she seethes)

Maleek: "Please do go on ahead - as soon as you do that...those pictures will be going out to everyone in the community"

Alexandria gnash her teeth together as she stare at the bastard before her.

Maleek: "So...is it a yes or no?"

Alexandria breathe in deeply as blue eyes pop up in her head but she shake it off and answer the man before her with a firm answer.

Alexandria: "Fine Mr. Malburrow"

A boyish grin cross his face and she sigh dejectedly thinking of Vincenzo.

I'm so sorry - (she thinks)
