"You're welcome." I looked up and him and smile.
"Not a problem." He turns to walk away but stop, "One more thing. I'll be hosting an annually fundraising here for the Patrick Carter Memorial Orphanage next week." I guess he's going to tell me not to be seen during that time. "Hmm...So you might want to get a dress and get yourself fixed up." Those words were the last I expected. He was inviting me to his fundraiser. He wanted to me to dress up for it too.
I smiled at him, "Thanks." But he barely nods at me. Something was up with him, he didn't seem like himself. He looked tired and sad. "Are you okay?"
He nods, "Yea, just tired. I'm trying to settle a big deal, but the old man is just so damn stubborn." He chuckles a little, "That's why I'm so early too. I need some rest."
"I'm sorry to hear your having troubles but don't worry about that old stubborn man, just relax." I smile, "And guess what?"
"What?"
"If you ever think you're too tired or stressed out because of work then you have me and Henrique as your ice-cream buddies. Just call or knock on my door and we'll be down there eating some cookie and cream ice-cream."
"Or chocolate."
I nod, "Or Strawberry Cheesecake."
"Or Vanilla."
"Yea, or maybe Rum and Raisin," I respond chuckling. I can't believe he was the same arrogant stalker I met a couple months ago. After spending time with him I've come to realize he wasn't all that bad, he wasn't bad at all. He was fun to be around and good company.
He didn't make me feel bad. He made me feel wanted like I belong here with him and Henrique.
I want to stay here with him and Henrique.
Is it mean to say I wish he never finds my sister? Is it mean to want to keep someone that wasn't mine?
He laughs, "You know what, I might just take you up on your offer."
I nod, "You should."
"I'm going to take a nap now but when I wake up I'll make sure I take you up on your offer."
I blushed then answered, "I'd love that."
He gave me one last smile then leaves my room closing the door behind him.
I've had boyfriends before but none of them made me laugh like Alexander did. None of them made me feel this happy as Alexander did. Alexander hadn't even kissed yet, we've barely even held hands yet being around him made my heart beat a mile a minute.
I like him.
I like Alexander Carter so much.
Is this what falling in love feels like?
Am I falling in love with my nephew's brother?
....
It was around 7 pm now and I was downstairs in the living room playing with Henrique, but Grey came and start licking my face.
"Grey, stop it." I laugh as he licked my face with his rough tongue. Grey moved over to Henrique and start to attack him like he did me. I giggle and stood up. "Come on Grey, you must be hungry." I tried distracting the dog but no prevail.
As I shake my head the doorbell rang. I rush to open the door leaving Henrique was Grey, knowing Grey wouldn't cause any harm to Henrique. Grey, in fact, was the perfect sitter especially when I was showering.
When I opened the door the first thing I saw was a handsome man with blond curly hair and ocean blue eyes then beside him was an equally beautiful brunette. His hands were securely wrapped around her waist and they both had rings on their ring finger. Husband and Wife.
I smiled up at them. "Hi, how may I help you? "I asked politely.
"Who are you?" the woman asked in a mean tone as she looked at me up and down with a disapproving look. I wasn't dressed as nice as her. I was only in a pink dress and barefoot while she was dressed nicely in a long dress and matching heels, her husband in a suit. But even though I wasn't dressed as nice as her I didn't deserve to be treated like that.
"I'm the one who should be asking you. You're the one at the door." I replied in the same mean tone she used at me.
Two can play that game.
The man held out his hands for me to shake, "You must be Ms. Bisson."
I took his hands and shake it, "Yea, I am. Who are you?"
Before he could answer Alexander's voices came from behind me, "Oh Gerald. I wasn't expecting you to come so soon. Ms. Bisson, you can go back to Henrique now."
I frown at him using my last name.
So, I guess I'm no longer Kalliyah.
I nod, "Nice to meet you, Gerald." I turn around and walk pass Alexander without looking at him.
I know I should feel sad or even angry that he addressed me for formal in front of his friends, but it hurt. Especially since I started to see him as a friend and not just the man forcing me to stay here to take care of someone else's child. Especially since I like him.
I sat back on the carpet beside Henrique who was still playing Grey and Cloudy who seemed to have joined in. For the past months, the dogs were inseparable so much so that Cloudy was now pregnant. I could tell by her belly which was suddenly getting big. I hadn't yet brought it to Alexander's attention. I was still waiting for the perfect time to tell him that my dog impregnates his.
"Get the dog off the baby. He'll give him flees." I heard a high pitch female voice said.
I turn around and look at the brunette.
I rolled my eyes.
No bitch, coming near to you is going give him flees.
