All my worries when and I started to laugh with him and soon after Alexander joined.
After a few minutes, we finally settled down. I looked over at Alexander who carefully lifted Henrique out of the water then started lifted himself out. I ran my hands over my face and down to my hair. I moved closer to the edge and lifted myself out. When I came out I looked down at my soak dress which was clinging to my body.
I lifted my head to see Alexander staring at the clothes, his face had an expression I couldn't read.
"I know, it looks awful but it's all your fault." He lifts his head to my eyes but didn't comment. "Now we're all wet."
He shifted his attention to Henrique then bent to pick up the wet baby. "No one's hurt we just need to get out of these wet clothes before one of us gets sick."
I nod my head in agreement and started to move in the direction of the pathways but stopped when Alexander called me, "Kalliyah. As much I want you not to get sick, I don't think it would be appropriate for you walking around like that."
I frown not understanding what he meant. "What do you mean?"
"Your bra and panties are showing and your breast in printing out." My eyes widen at his statement and my eyes immediately shifted to my bosom then my butt. He was right, my black bra was printing out and so were my breast and since I decided to wear red panties with a white dress, it was visible as well.
My face heated up with embarrassment.
Alexander saw my breast!
Not the breast but close enough!
I didn't want to lift my head but I knew I couldn't avoid not to either, "Thank you."
"No problem." He turns to his right and pointed off to the pool house, "There are towels in there. You can use them to cover up. I'm heading over there, I'll bring one for you." he turns and started to walk towards the pool house. I had never gone into the pool house before since today was the first time I've actually been in the pool and it's all because of a stupid accident.
Not how I imagined my first time to be.
A few minutes later we walked out with the towels on his shoulder and Henrique still in his arms. I didn't know how he managed but he looked like he did with ease. He places one of the towels in my hand then handed me a T-shirt.
"It's mine, you can play it over the dress after you've dried up. Come let's go over to the gazebo." I followed him over to the gazebo which he places Henrique on the chair then started taking off his clothes. He dried Henrique with the towel making sure he didn't miss a spot. Then he started talking off his jacket then his tie.
"What are you doing?" I look at him as he continues to remove his clothes.
"What's it looks like I'm doing." he kicked off his shoes. "I don't wanna get sick either."
He pulled opened the buttons off his cream shirt revealing the marina underneath. He started to remove his belt then his pants. "See, all done. That didn't take too long."
Alexander stood in front of me in nothing marina and boxers.
Everything was showing and by everything I meant his muscles, the print out of his abs, everything. I tried to control my eyes, so I stayed on the first half of him and not any lower. I didn't want the image of Alexander Carter's body in my mind. His personality was already too much to handle.
I bent his head to look at his wrist, "You'll have to take care of Henrique. I'm going to leave for my meeting." He grabbed his clothes and started walking away. I let my eyes look at his body as he moved farther away. He turned suddenly making me jump a little, "See you later Kalliyah," then he turns and continued to walk out the garden.
I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding when he left.
I look down at the naked baby.
"It seems like you and your brother are both troublemakers." Henrique giggles and stare at me. I had no idea if he was giggles because he agreed with my statement or it was because he was a baby and babies giggle.
But whatever his reasons were, the two trouble markers were slowly making away in my heart.
.......
I touch the expensive antique and admire its beauty. Since Henrique is sleeping I didn't really have anything much to do so I decided to browse around the mansion. There were parts of the place I haven't even seen, like the side where Alexander bedroom was.
As I moved closer to down the hall, I start to hear sobs. Curious to know who is crying I moved closer. I leaned against the wall as I eavesdrop on the conversation.
"No, I have to work." I recognized Ms. Wilson's voice immediately. "Maybe. I don't know. I'll try and make it tomorrow...Yes, I know that but.." she sobbed some more. "Alright see you tomorrow." She reminds silent as she continues to cry. I guess her phone call had ended.
I peeped and saw the crying face of Ms. Wilson. My heart aches a little to see her cry. Even though she isn't the nicest person to me, she still was a human. I walked out of the hall and turn in the room, not exactly sure of my next step.
"Ms. Wilson is everything okay?" I found myself asking.
She lifted her hands to her face and started wiping the tears away. "It's not very good to listen to people's conversation," she snarled. Even when crying she could still be a bitch.
