Chapter Five

True to his words, Angelo did come to pick her up and surprisingly, he was there even before the office hours were over. Sighing in the end and with one look into his eyes, she went towards the car door that he held open for her and then climbed in from the other side, maybe not using her own vehicle and going for public transport was not a good option anymore, so much for wanting to make environmental effort. He held her hand and kept it in his lap throughout the ride. Alexis was astonished by the fact that the man remembered exactly where her apartment was. She was told to 'wait' in the car while Angelo went all the way around opening her door. Maybe Chivalry still exist in the world. Alexis walked towards the lift along with Angelo, who unfortunately always appeared to be on her side, she pressed the button of her floor. After exiting the lift, she unlocked the door and walked in. She didn't close the door, knowing it won't stop him anyway. She smiled and braced herself when she saw Diesel running towards her and he jumped on her as she caught him. No matter what, her one true love was this boy and would remain in her heart like it had been engraved there. She heard the door closing, and footsteps moving towards her. She could feel his eyes on her. "Finish getting freshened up and then join me in the living room." He walked away after saying that into the living room as if he owned the place. 'Question; who is paying the rent here?' she thought. Alexis hated the fact that her cuddle time with her baby was over. She still carried Diesel to the kitchen, who was more than happy to be attached to his master. Alexis put him down in front of his bowl and went to take out the eatables from the cabinet. Pouring out the desired amount, she told Diesel to eat and went ahead for a shower. Angelo sighed looking at his watch; she was taking a lot of time. He stood up and walked to her bedroom. It was basically white themed and the fragrance she used was filled in the room. He went to her bed and inhaled her scent as if it were the very air keeping him alive. Warm water was always refreshing, easing the tension of her muscles, relaxing them which always helped her sleep better. Pulling on a bathrobe, she stood in front of her mirror, brushed her teeth, splashed some water on her face and went outside. Opening the door, she saw Angelo lying on the bed with his head under his hand and held the weight through his elbow. For a moment or two she had actually forgotten about his existence, which she would still be happy too. Gasping, she ran into her closet and closed it behind her when she realized that she had nothing under the bathrobe. 'He dare enter my room without my permission?' Shaking her head, she went for her nightwear. Silk shirt and pyjamas, she would have gone for shorts but with the man in her bed and that look in his eyes made her visibly shudder. Gaining some more courage, she went to open the door to be met by a black shirted chest. Groaning, she rubbed her forehead that was throbbing lightly due to its meet with the hard wall of muscled chest. 'Yummy.' She thought of muscled chest. She looked up to him meeting his heated gaze. Cocking his head to the side he stepped aside for her to enter. Stepping in the room she stopped when she heard the click of a lock. Eyes going as wide as they could, she turned around to see him already watching her with a calculating gaze. 'When did he reach the door?' Blinking her eyes she tore them away from him and casted them down the floor. 'Beautiful,' she thought admiring the floor. She had never noticed it before. She flinched when black glossy shoes came into her view. A step ahead he took, she took one back and this happened till her back calves touched the bed. "Go lie down on the bed." He said. "Huh?" she questioned, wanting him to change it. "Alexis. Go," Her Legs having a mind of their own, walked towards the bed and lied down on the right side of it. She had her back facing him so couldn't actually see what he was doing though she clearly could hear shuffling. The bed dipped and her breathing increased. A hand snaked around her waist and dragged her to the middle of her bed. She could feel his bare chest muscles on her back. Sighing, she closed her eyes and let sleep take over as it had been a hell of a day. For Angelo this was the time when he was at peace, looking at her, he found peace but why? Something he couldn't be at after taking over this business. Tightening his hold on her, he was scared to let her go. Scared to what he would do when she would slip out of his grasp. So it was decided, she wasn't going anywhere; anywhere without his knowledge. He would kill anyone without blinking an eye. She was his now, forever and beyond. He would kill her if she ever tried to get away from him.
