The Silent Neighbour ✓

Chapter Twenty One

Nova Johnson

Sweating bodies, hands all over the place, lips falling down to my breasts. The eruption of pleasure was filling me, Alexander knew what he was doing, he knew what my body liked and gave it to me.

It was the last thrust that made sure my body crumbled underneath him, he falls besides me and our panting breaths trying to catch up with one another.

My fingers rush through my hair as I release a soft laughter, my head turns to see Alexander smirking. The moment Alexander told me I was his, it was just silence between us, but the butterflies swarmed my stomach.

I rest my head against his chest, my fingers circling around the tattoos on his chest.

He slowly shifts out of the bed, stretching out his back as my eyes scale down his scars.

"I'm going to shower." He whispers.

"I'll join you." I slide my legs off of the bed, allowing them to dangle above the cotton carpet, as he nods and walks into the restroom.

I open the bathroom door and see Alexander rinsing the shampoo off his hair. After drawing the curtains open, I step into the bathtub. As I recall the first time I snuck into his flat, my fingertips slide down his biceps. 

Alexander turns around, wiping his face with his hands before opening his eyes. As he draws me closer to him, the electric blue accentuates my tense body.

His lips press onto mine; I chuckle and wrap my arms around his neck.

"Stop, we have a busy day ahead." I whisper.

"And what's that?"

"I have work, in thirty minutes."

"That's enough time for me."

"No Alexander, I need to be early." He sighs and grabs the shampoo before handing it to me, I smile once more and kiss him.

Once we were both changed and dried up, Alexander was going to the gym and I was going to work. We decided to walk together, the snow was too much for us both to drive. I waited for him by the door of his apartment, I notice a black scarf hung on the cloak hanger. I slide it around my neck and wait for him to come.

Alexander walks out with a gym bag and an unzipped hoodie, "okay, let's go." I open the door and we walk out. "I have my maths exam tomorrow." Alexander looks down at me.

"Are you ready for it?" He asks me. 

"Maybe tutoring tonight might help me," I suggest.

"And what do I get out of it?"

"An amazing night." We reach the bakery door, Alexander smirks and kisses me on the lips.

"Payment confirmed, I would have done it anyways."

"Oh so I don't need to beg anymore?"

"Not for maths, but for something else then yes." I push his chest slightly, before waving goodbye and entering the bakery.

Olivia's bakery was packed, I knew this was going to be a long day for me. I hurriedly rush to the back, and throw my coat and scarf to the side before grabbing my apron from my bag as I wrap it around my waist.

The moment I got out, I began picking up the plates from the tables so more customers could sit and eat.

I dump them into the kitchen sink while greeting the rest of the personnel. Olivia was near the cashier as I walked back out. I notice a stack of plates with croissant crumbs on them. I run into a body as I pick it up and turn. I didn't have to look up anything as I do with Alexander.
