"I agree, it's a funny movie." He paused and took him my eyes, "So you like blond guys, ugh?"
I laugh and shake my head then looked up at his hair which was the opposite of blond. His hair was as dark as midnight. "The hair colour of a guy doesn't matter." I tried choosing my words right.
"Right." He says sarcastically.
I shake my head, "What's your favourite movie?"
"Forrest Gump."
I burst out laughing like he did me.
"It's a great movie." Defended, "It teaches great life lessons and I love it. You laughing won't make me stop loving it."
I brought my eyes to his and calm down, "I 100% agree with you but you just don't seem like the Forrest Gump type."
"What's the Forrest Gump type?"
I think about it, but nothing came to my mind. Every loves Forrest Gump. "Okay, so everyone loves Forrest Gump. I get it."
He nods, "Yes and did you realize it's the same actor for both of our movies."
I didn't even realize it until he mentioned.
Jenny and Buttercup was the same actress.
We both lift our cups to our head finishing off our tea. I place the cup down and look over at him. He did the same and looked at me. There was a weird silence in the air while we stared at each other.
Tonight, I was able to see a whole new different side of Alexander Carter. It didn't match his billionaire personality that I got when I first met him. The him I saw today was a cool, normal and regular guy. Except Alexander Carter wasn't a regular guy. He was my nephew's brother and totally off limits, but I could help with the feeling that I might actually be into him.
It was hard not to like him when the man looked like a walking god. Even harder when he's so kind, friendly and sweet.
"Well, I'll wash up." He reaches out taking the cup from my hands his fingers brushing mine and when it did, I felt shivers run through me. What that a sign that showed I liked him?
I don't want to like Alexander Carter.
I can't like Alexander Carter.
Too late for that. A voice in my subconscious said.
You only dream about kissing a guy because you like that guy. If you didn't like him then you wouldn't have dreamt about kissing him.
"No, I don't."
"What?"
I shake my head when I realize I was answering myself. "Oh, no. Not you. Do you want any help washing those?" I needed to do something to get the crazy thoughts out of my head.
While standing from the stool, he answered, "No, It's just two cups and a spoon. I'll be fine."
When I nod he turned and walked over to the sink.
My mind went back to my dream.
I smiled in the kiss and when he stopped I wanted him to control.
I smiled!
That made it even truer.
I wouldn't have smiled in the kiss if I didn't like him.
For the love of God, someone help me!
Want-have a desire to possess something. That is what's wrong with me. I wanted this. I wanted Henrique. I wanted Alexander.
I wanted to be happy. Being in this big house with my nephew and his brother made me happy and I didn't want the feeling to end. I don't want to go back to my old life; to a job that made me miserable. I want to be happy.
I started at the cream ceiling and let my thoughts wander. What will I do when he finds my sister? I'll have to go back to my sad boring life and I don't want to, not even for a second.
A knock on my door brought me out of my daydreaming. I turn to look in direction of the door, "Come in," It must be Maria, the temporary housekeeper. She is a sweet Mexican immigrant with two teen girls. Her husband left her in Mexico with her daughters and never came back. She was able to get a working visa then worked her way up to permanent resident.
The door opened showing the tall frame of Alexander which made my eyes widen. I jumped up in a sitting position. He was in his famous suit and tie, looking handsome, as always.
"You don't have to look so shocked." He stated.
"But I am. I thought it was Maria." I didn't expect him back home so soon. It was only around 2'o clock.
He shrugs, "Well It's me. I have something for you." he walked closer in the door pushing the blue gift bag in my direction. While taking from his face he continued, "I took it from the company, one of ours. I thought you might need a better one considering the one you have is a bit old."
I frown at his words not understanding what the hell he was talking about. I opened the bag and saw the phone box. I look up at him, "I can't take this. I already have a phone."
He shakes his head, "No. You have a blackberry. People don't use that anymore." I frown at his words, not everyone is rich like you, Alexander. We can't all afford, Samsung, iPhone or Icare.
"I use it."
He shakes his head, "I'm giving you this new one. It has 20gbs and I placed a 64gb SD card in there. You can do a lot of things with that type of memory and music is already paid for. I also placed my number on speed dial in case of emergency."
I sigh giving in. I took out the phone box out of the bag and started opening the box. The place the big phone in my hands and admire it. "Thanks. I really appreciate this." In the gift bag and spot a purple phone case, I loved it immediately.
