Chapter 50: Chapter 50

A knock on the door made me jump up in surprise. The door flew open and Rihana came in.

"There is a party tonight, David wanted to let you know since you hate it. He said to lock the door and stay in here if you don't want to join." She folded her hands across her chest, raising a brow at me.

It was so obvious that she was still mad and jealous about what happened last night.

"I'll talk to Alex then." I purposely emphasized as I started walking towards the door. Without warning, she suddenly disappeared out of my sight and I rolled my eyes, knowing exactly where she went. To who she went to.

I walked downstairs and saw the guys setting up the place. My heart froze when I saw Rihana already talking to Alex, her eyes narrowing at me as she spoke.

"Alex," I called as I walked to him. "Can you please cancel the party? "

"I can't." he said shortly as he stared down at me.

"But I hate it." I trailed off when Rihana huffed, causing me to shoot her a glare. We glared at each other with hate, not even bothering to pretend anymore.

"I really have to go somewhere, so solve it between you two and-"

"I don't want to. Please take me with you." I turned to look at Alex, who shook his head.

"You're staying here, it's already raining heavily outside. "

"I am coming." I gave him a hard look and he pinched his nose before letting out a sigh.

"Fine. Just this once." He avoided Rihana's piercing gaze and I gave her a look before following him.

As soon as Alex opened the door, I hugged myself as it was cold. I looked at Alex, who was staring at me .

"Wait," he took off his leather jacket . I tried to protest when he hovered it over my shivering body. " If you don't want to stay back, do as I say." He muttered and I didn't argue. We both hurried towards Alex's car.

"Where are we going?" I asked, putting on my seatbelt as Alex started the car. I let out a sigh, realizing that he was not going to answer my question.

"Alex? At least tell me where we are going-"

"I offered to take you along, not talk." The rest of the ride was silent and after a while, I squinted my eyes through the window, my eyes widening when I saw the trees surrounding the area we were passing by now.

"Where are we?" I questioned and gasped when lightening arched across the sky, lighting up the empty street.

"Don't you think we should go back?" I asked, panic striking me as I sat up straight. "It's already so late and if you keep driving that fast, we might even get into an accident. -"

"That's why I told you to stay behind, Rina." He interrupted my rambling with a huff.

"We're just going to an old hotel here, I need to talk to someone there." He said finally and I slowly nodded, my eyes narrowing at the road.

I snapped my head towards Alex as he suddenly turned the wheel, the car came to a abrupt stop on the sideways. "Shit." Alex hissed when the headlights turned off, darkness surrounding us instantly.

"What happened?" I asked, trying to be calm.

" out of gas, for fuck's sake, how the hell-" he stopped hissing before letting out a sigh in frustration.

"What do we do? Don't tell me we are stuck here! This is exactly why I told you to go back, you should have listened to me!"

"No, this is exactly why I told you to stay behind, Rina, but you refused to listen, remember?" he raised his voice and I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Wha-what should we do?" I didn't mean to stutter and Alex turned to look at me, his icy blue eyes glowing even in the darkness.

"I'll see if I can get gas from the motel. That's the only nearby place I know and if-"

"Why can't you just take us home with your super-speed?" I cut him off .

"Because, Barbie doll" His face closing in on mine. "It'll take 10 minutes or more before we get there and by then, both of us will be soaked wet, which would most probably result in you getting sick."

"Fine, then let me come with you."

"No, I'll only take a few minutes. Stay in here." He opened the door, stepping out and disappearing out of my sight. I inhaled deeply and leaned back against the seat, my heart pounding loudly against my chest. I should have just stayed behind. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, trying to ease my nerves and when I opened them, I froze on a figure that was now heading towards the car from a distance. My body stiffened and I squinted my eyes through the window, trying to see clearly but it was almost impossible to with the heavy rain. All I could see was a figure walking towards the car, a sudden image of Terry flashed through my mind, causing my breath to hitch. My eyes wandered around the area, the trees and the empty road.

My thoughts came to an abrupt stop and I hugged myself, staring at the unfamiliar man. My whole body was trembling now and I closed my eyes shut for a second but open the moment someone knocked on the window, making me scream in fear.

"Hello, ma'am, are you okay?" an unfamiliar man called as I crouched further away from the seat, not even wanting to face him, in case it turned out to be Terry.

"Alex." I barely choked out, clutching my chest tightly at the memory of Terry dragging me outside the car.

"Are you okay? Do you need help-"

"Don't touch her." I froze, my mind going completely blank.

"I-I wasn't trying to, I was only going to help..." My mind was filled up with the memories of Terry and what happened that night. How I was trying so hard to start up the car, to get away from him.

"Sorry, I took so long," Alex's voice came, followed by the closing of the door. My mind going completely blank for a few seconds again. Another image of Terry's sadistic smirk played around my mind. I closed my eyes shut as I shook my head repeatedly. He can't take me away, not again.

"Rina-"

"I have to go," I blurted out, opening the door without even thinking. "I have to-"

"Are you insane?! Don't even try to-" he stopped when I practically threw myself out of the car, picking up my pace. I started to walk, hugging my body tightly as my eyes roamed around the area again. I noticed the empty road and darkness surrounding the area completely. He-he's not here, he's not here, he can't be here-

A hand grabbed my shoulder and I stared screaming, throwing my hands everywhere.

"Stop, let me go! Let go!" I broke down into sobs.

"Shh, hey, it's me," Alex's soothing voice finally reached to my ears as I buried my face inside his chest helplessly. It was just him. It was only Alex.

"Sorry,"

"We have to go," he suddenly pulled away, picking me up in his arms effortlessly. "Close your eyes." I did as he told. My mind became dizzy for the next few minutes but my eyes remained shut.

"We're here." I opened my eyes slightly as Alex placed me down and my eyes widened around the unfamiliar place.

"Ah, so she is the girl." A man in his mid 30's walked up to us.

"Thanks for letting us stay here for the night." Alex followed the man to the reception table and I followed behind them, my eyes widening when I came to realize where we really were.

"We're sleeping here?! In this motel?!" I almost shouted. Both Alex and the man turned to look at me in surprise.

Alex turned to look at me, his eyes growing a shade darker. The man smiled, handing a key to Alex and before I could say anything more, Alex grabbed my hand, dragging me along the hallway. He opened the door. It was small cramped up, ugly old room with only one bed and a cupboard standing at the very corner.

"After you." Alex stepped aside to make space for me.

"I am not okay with this, you can just carry me and run all the way back to the mansion, I'm sure-"

"You'll get sick if you're out there for too long,"

"Then I'm sure you can just heal me with your special blood." I folded my hands across my chest.

"You're right," his lips slightly twitched into a wry smile. "That way, I'll have an excuse to make out with you-"

"Alright, never mind." I cut him off. Alex chuckling behind me as I closed the door shut, my whole face burning in embarrassment. I stepped out of the toilet and froze when I noticed Alex already shirtless, revealing his abs and toned muscles. I turned away, screaming at myself . It amazes me how he can't see how much him being shirtless affected me.

"Come here." Alex gently started patting the empty spot next to him on the bed. I climbed on the bed next to him. Alex reached out to switch off the light and I stared at the small window ahead of me, my back facing Alex. It was like he wasn't even there, but that was probably for the best-

"Rina," Alex's voice was hoarse. "Turn around, I wanna ask you something." He said impatiently . I let out a sigh before turning to face him.

"Yes?"

"What happened back there?" his question made me feel scared . I don't want to think about Terry.

"I was just afraid and paranoid. The last time I ran away from Terry, I was driving and then he just appeared out of nowhere and the car broke do-down an-and I-"

"Alright, hey, I get it," Alex wrapped an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.

"I was afraid." I barely choked out, burying my face in his chest, fighting back my tears. I didn't want to have a break down about that incident.

"You don't have to be anymore," Alex pulled me even closer. "Not when I am around." His words made my heart skip a beat . This is bad. I can't get swayed so easily again.

"I chose you." My eyes widen and I stiffened when he inched closer.

"Don't." I choked out , trying my best to ignore his eyes. His lips slightly brushed against mine.

"I'll always choose you. No one can change that. Not even Rihana." He said before kissing me on lips, causing sparks all over. I kissed him back hungrily, my hands already wrapping around his neck as we deepened the kiss. A hand made its way under my dress and I held back a moan causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. Alex started leaving trails of wet and hot kisses down my neck, his teeth nibbling on my soft spot, causing an uncontrollable moan to escape through my lips. I lost control and fell on the bed along with Alex, his body towering over mine now. He stopped to look down at me, his eyes filling with lust and love. His lips drew closer to my cheeks and started trailing down my jawline before resting on my neck, causing me to shiver in pleasure.

"Alex." I breathed, parting his lips from my neck and he leaned into another kiss, making me lose it completely.

"Wait," He suddenly pulled away making me gasp. "You're having fever." He said softly . I shook my head, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck, urging him to kiss me again but he didn't budge at all.

"I'm fine, Alex, just kiss me." My face heating up when I saw the amusement on his face. He pecked my cheeks as he grinned. "But seriously though, you're burning." He sat up as I looked at him unbelievably. How was he able to hold it? I was going crazy back there, ready to go all the way and this guy is just-

"Here." He suddenly sunk his teeth into his wrist and I winced as he hissed. I made a face and slowly took his hand, licking off the blood. I didn't want to fight. Also it's useless against him. I finally pulled away and almost gagged in disgust.

"This is the last time, I am doing it.-" I stopped when Alex cupped my cheeks and kissed me.

"Let's sleep, Before I do something, you'll regret." He pulled away. He got down on the bed and I laid back too. His hand tangled around my waist as he pressed his chest on my back, heat radiating off his body onto mine.

"Alex?"

"Hmm?"

"I want to talk, I don't think I can sleep so easily."

"Well, try to sleep."

"Why?" I turned towards him.

"Because I don't want to talk." His blunt rude words pricked my nerves.

"And why not?" I asked as he let out a sigh.

"Because," He breathed, his lips brushing against my ears. "If I keep hearing you talk, I'll really lose it. It makes me want to continue where we just left off . I won't stop, even if you begged me to." I squirmed as my whole face burning up.

"Al-alright then."

"You're still talking."

"Well, what do you expect me to-"

"Last warning,Rina" His voice was hoarse and I shut my mouth immediately. His chest vibrated against my back as he let out a soft chuckle and a small smile tugged on my lips.

"Goodnight, Rina." He doze off with me secured in his arms. This is what I wanted. I wanted him.

I wanted him so bad. I can't deny it anymore.
