I took off my dress, brushed my teeth and went to bed.
And of course, I didn't fall asleep until hours since the kiss kept playing in my head.
........
It was around six in the morning. None of the workers had arrived yet and Henrique and Alexander were still asleep.
I couldn't stay in bed, so I decided to start making breakfast to keep my mind off a specific person and his kiss.
I kept waking up in the night and it was all because of one person that wasn't leaving my mind.
I didn't understand what was happening to me. I am the feisty girl that lets no one in. I am a girl with great comebacks and sassy remarks. I am the girl who suffered depression because of her family's betrayal.
But who am I now?
I was letting Alexander mend my broken heart and all the rules that I had created over three years suddenly didn't matter.
I was responding to his kisses, his jokes, laugh.
I was falling in love with Alexander.
And I couldn't help myself.
He was the only thing on my mind. Sometimes I forget the main reason I was even here.
To take care of my sister's abandoned baby, Henrique.
I was falling hard and I wasn't sure if he was going to be at the end of the mountain to catch me.
Alexander is a good man, isn't he?
He wouldn't hurt me, right?
Not like Alliyah.
I was so lost in my thought that I didn't feel anyone coming close to me until I felt Alexander's hand around my waist. I turned around to see a fleshly shaved Alexander. He smelt good, he bent his head and kiss me lightly on the lips.
"Good morning." He said smiling at me.
I automatically returned his smile. "Morning, you smell good," I said and nuzzled in his neck. He laughed and pulled away. I gave him a sad look.
"Wouldn't want my pancakes to burn, now would I?" he said I remembered that I was making breakfast before he came. I quickly turned around and turned the pancakes.
Alex went and sat at the island. "How was your sleep last night?"
"Bad," I replied as I placed all my attention on the pancakes.
"Why?" he sounded like he pouted.
"I didn't get much sleep."
"Someone was up thinking about me." He said, and I knew he was smirking. I've come to know his face and how it looks when he says certain things
"Cocky much."
He laughed. "Come on, don't be shy. I won't tell anyone." He said.
I took the pancakes out of the pot and placed them on the plate. I turned off the stove and took off the mitten and apron. I placed them on a nearby hook. Then I walked to Alex slowly and stopped in front of him and went in his opened legs.
"Don't tell anyone what that I did this" I slowly brought my face closer to his for a kiss. When his lips close enough to touch mine. I turned my head and licked his cheeks with my tongue. He yelped and jumped off the stool.
"You're trouble, missy. I can't believe you did that. I thought you were going to kiss me not lick me." He said in a laugh.
"I know, and that's why I did it." I smiled. My plan wasn't to lick his face it was originally to kiss him, but I watched The Duff and that's what the girl did. It was so funny, and I really wanted to try it myself.
"Come here." He pulled me to him and wrap his hands around my waist. "That's not how you kiss someone. You kiss, like this." He slowly brought his head to mine. His lowered his lips on mine and he started kissing me with full passion in which I returned. We were interrupted when his phone began to ring. He pulled away from me to answer it. He excused himself and walked out of the kitchen, maybe trying to keep whatever on the phone in private.
After about five minutes of waiting for him, I started to eat my pancakes since it didn't seem like he was coming back any time soon.
I left a few pancakes under a plater for him cased he decided to come back.
I washed the things I used then made my way on to Henrique's room.
I opened his door and there he was in his crib playing with one of the toys.
I was shocked, he was crying. He was focused on the toy in his head that he didn't see me.
"Good morning baby."
Henrique turned to look at me and smile showing his little tiny teeth.
I laughed at his cuteness. I went over to his crib and pick him up.
"You must be hungry." I smiled up at him. "Let's get you some food."
I want back to the kitchen with him latched on my side. I noticed the pancakes where gone and Alex was nowhere to be seen.
Probably in his office working.
I fed Henrique and went back to his room and gave him a long bath. He fell asleep as soon as I got his clothes on. I smile and took him back to my room.
I didn't really have a plan for today.
Maybe read Wattpad and paint.
If I was in the mood, I could take Henrique to the pool.
There was only one thing I wasn't allowing myself to do today.
I wasn't going to think about Alexander.
I spend the whole night doing that already.
After doing all the necessary chores, I decided that an evening by the poolside wouldn't be so bad after all especially since I was exhausted.
After placing Henrique on a blanket with his toys I laid one out for myself as well. I laid down on the grass watching Henrique with sleepy eyes and trying to enjoy the cool breeze. It hard to keep my eyes fully opened but I tried. I loved watching Henrique play. He was an angel, a bundle of joy.
