“You know what? I think we should tell her, and I want us to do it together,” I said.

Olivia smiled. She had been so afraid to do it alone. I could imagine how she felt now that she knew I’d do it with her.

“Oh, Alex, you’re the best!” She threw her arms around me, and I wrapped her in mine.

SOME EXPLAINING TO DO

Olivia Sanders

This whole morning had been somewhat of a dream. Waking up next to Alex was an experience I wouldn’t mind having for a lifetime. I know it was not the first time, but it felt so different now that I had fallen for him.

When he told me about his feelings for me, I initially thought it was a joke. We had just shared an amazing sex the previous night, so I assumed it was a result of the aftermath. I wouldn’t have blamed him; it was one of the best sex I had ever had in my life.

My feelings for Alex had been developing for a long while now. At first, I thought I was just distracted because of our make-believe relationship, but the feelings grew stronger with each passing moment, and that scared me. The last thing I wanted was to have strong feelings for a man who didn’t feel the same.

“Penny for your thoughts?” he asked, bringing my attention back to the car. He was driving us to Sam’s apartment. After a long discussion, we decided it was only right to inform Samantha already about the current state of our relationship.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I was just having flashbacks,” I said, my cheeks flushed a little.

He squeezed my thigh gently. “I’m glad I’m not the only one.”

His touch still managed to give me butterflies. I felt like a high school girl with her first crush whenever he stared at me with passion, and Alex was a very passionate man.

“Are you nervous?” I asked, although he didn’t seem like it.

He shook his head. “No, I’m not nervous. I most definitely hope she gives us listening ears, but we can always try again if she’s being difficult.”

I knew very well that he knew Sam more than I did, but I found it hard to be as relaxed as he was about everything. As much as I knew Samantha was just being petty, I still was afraid to lose my best friend. She had been my biggest supporter since we became friends, and I loved her so much. Losing her would be like losing a huge part of myself.

A phone buzzed suddenly, and I turned to see Alex picking up a call and putting it on speaker mode.

“Morning, Layla,” he said as soon as the call connected.

“Good morning, sir. I’m sorry to disturb your call, but we’ve made some urgent changes recently, and I’d love us to talk about them in person.”

“Is it that serious? We can just talk about it now anyway.”

I swear I heard the woman on the other end sigh softly. “We can’t, unfortunately, so please tell me when you’d be free to talk,” she replied.

Alex scoffed. “How does lunch sound for you? And it better be really urgent.”

The call ended with the woman agreeing to Alex’s time, and he looked quite concerned.

“What was that about?” I asked when I noticed the frown wouldn’t leave his face.

“Well, that was Layla, my PA and manager. She said she’s made some urgent changes, and whenever she says something like that, it always ends up being something I don’t like but is necessary.”

“And what are you suspecting it to be?” I asked again.

“Well, I do have my suspicions, but I don’t want you to worry, so let’s wait till I confirm what it actually is.”

Well, he could have left that last bit out if he didn’t want me to worry. Now, I have enough reasons to worry. He reached out for my hands just then, and I managed a smile. We started to get closer to Sam’s apartment, and my palms were sweaty.

Alex finally pulled over in front of the apartment, and we made our way slowly to the door. I had my own key, but given the circumstances, I decided to ring the doorbell.

“Who is it?” Sam called from inside, but neither of us responded. It took a while before she finally opened the door, and when she did, her face suddenly turned cold.
