352 True fear (1/2)

”P-please get dressed. We should already be at the palace by now. Why didn't you wake me up?” Abi tried to avoid his gaze as she put her hand on his chest, stopping him from coming any closer. What happened last night was something she would never regret but right now, she couldn't do more than that. She couldn't give anything more, not until he remembered her, not until she was certain that he would be alright.

But Alex just smiled and didn't back off. He was about to give her a kiss but a loud ringing interrupted him.

He ignored it and proceeded to lean towards her but Abi slipped away, taking the blanket and wrapping it around her and quickly grabbed her phone. She thought it might have been Zeke calling to ask where the hell they were so she was relieved to see that it was her dad who was calling her.

”Hi, dad,” she answered, as Abi glanced at Alex hoping he would behave while she was on the phone to her dad.

However, her hopes were dashed when she saw him walk towards her with a sexy smile on his face. His muscles flexed as he moved and Abi was instantly distracted.

”Abi? Abi… are you there?” her dad asked when he only heard silence from her end.

His question pulled Abi's attention back to the phone conversation. ”Hmm? Yes, dad. I-I'm here. Sorry, I am a little busy at the moment. C-can I call you later?” she said, knowing that she wouldn't be able to concentrate while Alex was in this kind of playful mood.

”Are you alright? Are you sure that you want to stay there?” her dad asked, obviously wanting to talk about her decision to stay in Country V.

”Yes, dad. I'm fine. I just have a lot to do today so I don't have much time right now. I promise to call you tonight after I finish for the day, okay? Alright, dad, I have to go now. I love you…” Abi spouted out in a rush and in the next second she ended the call just in time because Alex's lips found hers at that moment.

Time seemed to stand still as his lips caressed hers. Damn it! This guy was becoming more and more shameless by the second. Abi pulled away from his kiss by putting a hand on his chest again and pushing him back. There was no time for this. They still needed to get back to the palace!

”We need to leave as soon as we can. We're already late!” she reasoned, and without waiting for a response, she quickly ran towards the bathroom to shower and get ready.

Breakfast was waiting for her when she got out of the bathroom. It was laid out neatly on the small table in their room. When she walked over to the table, Alex walked around and pulled her chair out for her, like a true gentleman, and pushed it in as she sat down. He went back to his side and settled in.

Alex merely watched her, not eating anything himself, just admiring the view.
