The Contract

Chapter 11

Alexander's pov

It is warm, usually warm when I move a little, I have the air conditioning blasting in my room at all times but it feels like I have a heater beside me. I opened my eyes looking at my whereabouts, it was early morning, way too early in my opinion

It wasn't the sun warming me up because I left my curtains open, oh god no, it was my wife warming me up as she snuggled closer to my side trying to hide herself.

I shake my head a little at her antics, tells me to keep my hands to myself and ends up snuggling and I know for a fact she will blame me for trying to come close to her when she wakes up

I lay on my back comfortably looking at her, even though her face wasn't visible because here hair covered her face, her beautiful face.

It's been a whole month, and I have pushed myself away from her because it's a deal. We both made deals and now we have to deal with the consequences

It wasn't that I didn't fine her beautiful because god help me, I know she is the most beautiful little innocent girl I have ever met. She is perfect but I cannot go ahead and fall in love with her. I know I will ruin her too if I fall for her.

Thats the thing, I can't hate her either, I tried, god knows how hard I tried to hate her but I cannot. I left the country for a bit and hearing that she hadn't stepped out of her room for those 15 days was hard to hear considering her parents told me what kind of a chatterbox she is

I mean here is the thing, I was going to come home last night but when I heard from Jaxson that she was at a club, one of my clubs I flipped shit knowing how hungry men are and I know they would throw themselves at her and im still recovering from her kissing that fucking ass Lukas before we got married

"Mhm xan" she calls bringing me out of my thoughts hearing her voice

I look down to see her eyes closed, her hands on my t shirt was tight for some reason

"Yes Allison" I answer but I didn't get a response back, instead all I got was a hum

She was sleep talking making me smile, mom was right, she told me that sometimes when her little Stella is stressed or sad she talks in her sleep.

I didn't want this, I didn't want her or this unwanted marriage but I had to marry her for various reasons, some that are known to her and some aren't but that's for her safety

i completely lost my shit when she was making out with that bastard, I mean who wouldn't if they saw their future wife almost getting it on in the parking lot.

"Ahhhh" Allison screamed jumping off my arms and falling right on her ass of the bed

"Woah, are you okay?" I ask leaning over the side of the bed

"Mhm yeah, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you picked my lock and came in here to haunt me because it's not going to work. Maybe try mhm poison or mhm oh my god scary movies, I love them but holy thye fuck me up a lot too" she rambles on, something she does when she is either lying, stressed, upset or about to start crying

"Hey are you okay?" I ask again

"Im okay" she says getting up and rubbing her butt

"Come up here, what happened?" I ask patting the side of her bed

She sits up and took a huge breath rubbing her chest

"Im sorry if I woke you up" she whispered

"No, no you didn't. i woke up awhile back, I was waiting for you to get up" I say

"Why? So I can make you coffee" she pouts making me chuckle a bit

"Mhm no, it's so that i could get up because you were holding onto me like I would run if you let go of my t shirt"

"Hey liar, I knew you'd get handsy. You were cuddling me weren't you?" She asks pointing a finger at me

"Sure Al" I whisper getting up

"Mhm Alex" she calls making me turn around before I entered the bathroom

"Yes"

" Can you stay please, stay here with me for a few minutes?" she asks

I walk back to bed and lay down where I was laying previously.

"Come here" I whisper to her

She crawled up right next to me and sat beside me looking in my eyes.

"When is your meeting?" she asks

I notice her hands were trembling as she held onto her hands trying to make them stop

"At 10, its with a author who wants to publish with us" I didn't need to explain but I do anyways

"Mhm hmm fun, are your grandparents coming home again?" she asks

"Not today, their plans changed so they will see us tomorrow at the party we have to attend" I tell her

"What is the party for" her eyes didn't shine much, almost like she was hiding secrets in them

"The authors, we have recently partnered with some authors who have series coming out, it's basically a lunch party"

"Can I get the books?" She asked

"What books?" I ask knowing very well what she meant

"From the launch, I like books. It makes me feel free, it makes me think differently and it makes me ask questions" she explained, I knew she loved books. The boxes in her closet were filled with books, I was going to have them unpacked too but seeing it's her novels I didn't

"Sure we can get you some books" I finally say

"Can I confess something since we are being honest and becoming friends" she asks and holly hell, if I could tell her she is my wife not just a friend, I plan on spending forever with her, not just be her friend though thats a good beginning

"Of course"

"I took your AMEX" she confesses as if I already didn't know

"My AMEX" I play along

"Yeah, on our wedding night I got angry and grabbed it from your wallet the morning after when you were in the shower" she explained

of course she did, I felt like she was in my room that morning but since I didn't see her I played it off

"And may I know what you did with it?" I ask

"I wanted some books, I could have used my card but then I thought it wouldn't upset you right so I used yours" her hands had gotten better, she wasn't shaking anymore

"I do have a card for you" I say

"For me? Why?"

"Because you are my wife, it's a black card, doesn't have a limit nor do you have a daily allowance I suppose, spend whatever you want on whatever you want"

"Xan, you didn't have to do that" she whispered, the way her lips move when she calls me Xan, no one has ever called me that, people call me other nicknames but her's is unique

"I wanted to" a small smile covers her face but not her usual one, the one that can light up out whole penthouse, she was forcing her smile
