Chapter 24 Back Home 3

"Alex!" Carie greeted "Carie!" Alex said nonchalantly "Come with me Raf!" Alex and Rafael both walked out. I walked into my room with Elena tailing me. The image of Alex walking down the stairs never left my head, why the hell would i admire his delicate features?

"Ma'am I'll go prepare your bath now!". She walked into the bathroom and prepared a warm bath for me. I walked into the bathroom and settled in the bathtub for a long relaxing warm bath, placing my head backwards with my eyes closed I took a deep breath. 'How do I get to see mum again? This evil man has refused to tell me where she is'. I thought to myself.

I really did miss her, my selfish one week vacation had turned into a month. I remembered my promise to her, and not being able to keep the little promise I made to her was so annoying. Still thinking of how to make Alex talk, I felt a hot breath sending shock waves to my skin making me shudder.

I slid my eyes open to see those two black eyes starring at me intently. I was startled, and tried to stand up but Alex was quick to pull me back in. "What are you doing?" I asked to see him smile.

"Why startled? Are you still a virgin?" He said sardonically. I was dumbstruck by his question. "W.. why'd you ask? Any girl in my shoes would be startled by your actions.!" I stammered. Alex smiled as he picked up a liquid from the locker and stared back at me, "wipe those tears off your face you look hideous!" He said before leaving.

That was when I realized I've been crying for some time now. I rinsed my best quickly so I wouldn't be visited by another unwanted visitor. I tied my towel and walked into the closet to get dressed, I didn't have much to think about as I walked to Alex's corner and picked one of his white shirt and wore it. I walked out of the room in a channel white slippers.

I spent the rest of the day with carie, we did nothing but talking and taking a tour around the Alex's mansion. Damn it was big and beautiful, we finally got to the back of the house were the private pool was located and in front of it was a private beach. "I think there are fishes in the water!" Carie said as she ran towards the large river in front of the beach, I followed her immediately.

"Where do you think this water leads to!" I asked carie "I don't know, you never can tell!" She shouted cause her voice was barely audible due to the constant movement of the water. We stood there taking pictures and playing with the water and fishes, it didn't take long for the clouds to turn dark. 

We walked back into the mansion and got to the lounge "Gius is Alex back?" Carie asked the butler moving around the house to on the night lights. "Yes miss he's with Mr Lucas in the garden!" Gius bowed and walked away. Soon dinner was served and I and Carie went to the dinning room to eat.

The dinning room was so spacious with a large table at the center of the room and a diamond chandelier that was placed above the center of the table. The table was filled with lots of food and fruits, and I wondered who would eat all of it. Gius went out to call Alex and lukas.

"Carie, who's Lukas?" I asked "He's Alex's best friend, they've been friends since they were three. Before you came it's always been Alex, Ben and Lukas!" Carie called Lukas name with disgust. "I don't know if I'm being too nosey but do you have issues with Lukas?" I asked softly, and Carie sighed before answering "He used to be my boyfriend and something happened that made us breakup!" She said in a cold tone. "What happened!" I asked curiously with a smile. Carie looked at me "No, that's a gist for some other time for now you don't talk to him Hazel cause he's an ass hole!" She said and I just nodded in agreement. "Zel, you love me like a sister right? And you'll do anything for me, am I right?" Carie made those puppy eyes and i nodded at her words foolishly. "Then promise me you won't talk to Lukas no matter what!" She held my hands in hers and looked at me. "Is it that serious?" I asked "Yes it is!" She said as her eyes became watery. "Okay I won't talk to him!" I said for her to smile at me "Thank you!" Carie said and we started eating.

Half way on our food a tall dark browned hair man walked into the dinning room with Alex behind him. He had a less dark aura around him unlike Alex whose eyes where on me as they walked in. His grey eyes, pointed nose and pink lips were perfect, though he was not as handsome as Alex, but he was also very handsome with a mischievous grin plastered on his face.
