Breaking The Rules

Confessions

I spent the next 3 hours in a cell...

"Alex Ackles?" A guard asks 

"Yes!" I say standing up and he unlocks me

"U're free..."

"Thank god!" I say and run out of the cell. I go to take my things and then I leave. few6 steps away I see Annalise with George

"What the fuck?" I ask surprised

"He wants to make a deal..."

"Well I don't! And I told u we're not gonna settle..." I reply and pass by them leaving

"I'll make a public statement stating that I indeed  pursued u and that I got out of control when u rejected me, that I'm very sorry about it and that I never meant to hurt u..."He says and I stop 

"And what u want in return?" I ask without turning to look at him

"I want 10 minutes with u, alone, to explain some things to u..."

"Why would I want to hear anything u have to say? And why do I have to believe u when u say u're sorry?" I ask again turning my head a little to see him

"Because I'm telling u the truth and because we got on a wrong foot. And I really wanna explain to u why I'm so persistent...please, give me this chance, I promise u won't regret it..."He says and I sigh, turning my whole body to him

"10 minutes!" I agree 

"Yes!"

"Ok...so, were are we going?"

"To my office..." Annalise says and we leave

Half an hour later, him and I are in Annalise's office. We sit on each side of her couch

"So, I'm listening..." I say

"First,I wanna tell u that I'm really sorry for what happened to u when u were 19..."He starts

"Forget about it, it's been 9 years, move on..."

"Ok...second, I wanna say that I didn't understand that my behavior was so inappropriate. I really thought u were just fighting it! Maybe it's because I didn't know your past...Now that I know what u've been through, I  understand that my actions were triggering this. I'm really sorry I hurt u, I never meant to do that...As I said, I wanted to pull u close to me-I wanted u to notice me..."

"I had already noticed u,George...after the meeting for the divorce that u run to bring me the coffee I had forgotten..."

"Oh yeah! I really forgot about that..."

"I didn't...it was very kind and u didn't have to do it. But then u ruined everything...why did u do all that? I mean,there were so many other ways!"

"I know, but I told u, Christian had told me that u want to be pursued and u need guys to show u how much they want u and that u play tough just to see how much they'll last..."

"That's true, but still, u were rude and u kinda scared me the day in the kitchen and then in the elevator...God, I felt so trapped and weak and helpless in the elevator!"

"I'm really sorry Alex, all I wanted was u, and now I messed it all up...I promise u that u won't see me again!"

"Look George, I have to admit something: I was attracted to u the minute u walked in that conference room. And the next day u came to the studio, even Danneel caught the tension between us!"

"Then why were u pushing me away all this time?"

"Because I have one rule in my life..."

"Can I hear it?" He asks and I sigh
