Page 56 of Thalia De Luca

My dad looks up at me. "What's the issue?"

"It's Alexander," I deadpan.

"And?" My dad stares at me and raises his eyebrow. "I still don't see the issue, Thalia."

I let out an annoyed sigh. "I just don't want to see him."

My dad rolls his eyes. "This little feud between you two has to stop. Go."

"Dad-"

"I said go, Thalia, before I drag you there myself," my dad cuts me off and looks back down at his papers on his desk.

I refrain from arguing and I get out of my chair and walk out of his office.

I really really don't want to go but I also really need to go to the gym.

Damn it.

I walk out of the front door and go to where my car is parked. Once I get inside the car I drive out of the estate and down the street.

I really don't feel like facing him or just being near him.

Call me a wimp, but Alexander is the one person I am scared of. Something about him just makes me weak, mentally and physically. And now that we have had sex it's even scarier and it makes me feel even more vulnerable to him.

The drive to Alexander's house isn't long. His security lets me in, and I park next to one of his many sports cars.

I will never understand why he is so obsessed with cars, he has over twenty different cars while I only have two. One of the cars, which is a white Ferrari, is a gift my mom and dad gave me for my birthday. My other car is the one I bought myself, it's a black Porsche 911 which is my favorite car.

I walk to his front door and open it. I walk inside and smell bacon and eggs.

Damn.

I also hear music playing from the kitchen, so I walk towards the kitchen and when I do I see Alexander wearing just black boxer briefs while cooking eggs and bacon in separate pans.

He wasn't dancing or singing, just mumbling the words while focusing on the food.

I try my best not to stare at his body.

I walk more inside the kitchen. "I thought you were more of a pancake guy?"

Alexander looks at me and I see something flash in his eyes before it disappears.

He looks back at his food. "What are you doing here?"

"I am here to use your gym ‘cause ours is under construction I guess." I walk to the fridge and open it.

"Oh, joy," he mutters.

Alexander turns off the stove and then puts his food on the plate next to him.

I grab a water bottle and then close the fridge. I turn around and see Alexander standing right in front of me.

I take a sip of water before twisting the cap on. "Yea?"

"What are you doing here Thalia?" Alexander whispers and then leans his face closer to mine.

"Going to work out, Alexander."
