Bloody Lips

Episode 17

ALEXANDRA POV:

A week..

It has been a week since I last saw Xander..

Currently,i am sitting on a counter of the kitchen, eating donut which is heaven and thinking about everything that has been going on lately. I feel suffocated here. Not that I feel alone. How could I ? When I feel him everywhere. I know I can’t see him but I don’t know why but I feel him wherever I go. 14

I just want to go out and take fresh air. Alone time, got me thinking about Justin. I realized I hadn’t thought about him once Xander took me. Like what the fuck?! How can I forget it? I had been thinking about him nowadays as I get some away time from Xander. Where will he be? What he will be doing? Is he looking for me? What about Lary ? Has she checked up on me ? Is she looking for me also? I am dying to know what is going on outside these walls. I don’t know for how long he will going to keep me here.

‘What if he will be keeping you for whole your life?’ a voice in my head says.

I gulp down my bite,feeling sick to my stomach. It feels like I might throw up so I put the half eaten donut on the plate besides my leg. I hate to admit that but I am thinking about it also and I am not admitting that it can be true. 9

No it can’t be.. No.. I have to go..I lick my lips in worry and fear,my eyes set on the wall. They have lost their focus as my thoughts consume me. Someone clears their throat in the background.

I jump, almost slippjng from the counter,looking around me to find the same girl who was in the kitchen that day, looking at me with bright blue eyes. She seems nice. 2

“Um..hello?” I ask her,uncertainly at which she gives me a big smile.

“Hey. My name is Laila.” She replies . 97

“Laila..I’m Alexandra but call me Alex.” I reply with a small smile. 13

Yes we have never met before because it seems like no one lives here or if live don’t want to acknowledge my presence.

This week whenever, I have crossed path with her and whenever she comes to give me food or asks me if I need anything,her mother is always there. Whenever,i tried to make conversation she always drags her away.

I look around to see if her mother is there and from the corner of my eyes i see she is doing the same thing.We look at each other and starts laughing.

“She is not here. Don’t worry.” She grins at me.

“Oh.”

“Yes so , Alex. How are you?”She asks me.

I give her a dead panned look. Duh..

“Is this even a question? ” I joke at which she giggles.

“I know. But hey King is nice. Yeah,he has a bit of temper but he is really nice. ” 7

Okay,King is nice.Okay.. Wait.. King? KING? WHAT HE RULES A KINGDOM OR SOMETHING? 37

“King?” I look at her curiously. She looks at me with confused face.

“Uh yes? He knew you for a long time,r ight? Everyone know it here that the King has his eyes set on a girl” She completes it with a smirk but her eyes hold confusion. 7

I blush at her words. I clear my throat before saying, 3

“Where is here?” I ask. She opens her mouth before I hear hurried footsteps.

She shuts her mouth, instantly,her eyes wide and looking at me. Then,her mother enters the kitchen and looks around before setting her eyes on us. Pointedly,looking at her daughter.

“What are you doing here,Laila?” She scowls at her.

“Ma, I am here to ask Alex if she needs anything.”

“Alex?” Her eyebrows pull together in confusion. I wave my hand. Her mouth forms a ‘O’ shape before she smiles at me.

“Hey,honey.” Her eyes are warmly looking at me. I return the smile.

“I see , we are having a get together here but oh so bad nobody invited me in it. ” We all jump,startled and I,for the second time,was about to slip from the counter but before such thing happened i held the corner with my hands . 19

We all look at the door to find none other than The Majesty himself, leaning against the wall casually but his eyes are on me. How could he not make noise while entering ? I frown. 60

He smirks at me as though he can read what I am thinking,his eyes glistening. I roll my eyes at him which earns a chuckle from him. I turn my head towards Laila to find her looking at Xander like he has grown two heads while her mother has a small smile on her lips. 12

“Tchtchtch. I was not expecting it from you though.” He looks at older lady. 39

“We are not having get together ,Sir. We are here just to ask if the Lady needs anything. ” She tells him in a small voice.

“If you say so.” He say,moving his eyes on me.

“Miss me?” He asks. And with that both Laila and her mother leaves the kitchen. 28

No no no don’t leave me here,alone. I was about to protest where are you all going when Xander stands infront of me,suddenly.

I move to slide off the counter when Xander puts his hands on my thighs, parting them and standing between them. 174

Not good. That’s not good.. 5

I can hear my heart that has started beating, wildly and from the smug smirk on his lips,i know he can also .

“Okay move along .” I tell him 12

“No” he replies,calmly. I take a deep breath in before starting again.

“Xander just step aside and let me go.” I snap at him.

“You needed time alone, I gave you time alone and if I might add for a week. So i guess no.”

“What do you want from me?” I blurt out. 1

“You.. Just you.” He whispers ,while looking in my eyes. And I can see what he is trying to make me see. I close my eyes. 33

He always does that. When he couldn’t say things ,he used to look in my eyes and try to make me understand when we were together. 2

“You lost me. You are not having me back. ” I whisper back , lowly. 57

Seconds pass by and I don’t get a reply. Confusion clouds my mind so I open my eyes thinking he has left. 1

But oh how wrong I think.

He is still there,, but now his eyes are looking dangerous. He is mad ,I know he is mad. Uh oh not good. His grips on my thighs , increasing.I look up at him , carefully. 37

I have to calm him down because I know if he gets mad what will he do. Throw things ,punch walls or raise hell. 36

“Why do they call you ‘King’ ? ” I ask hurriedly. 2

“Who?”

“They.” I shrug at which he narrows down his eyes on me before looking behind me and whispering ‘they’ with humming. 3

“So?” I push. He looks at me again.

“Don’t change the topic.” He snaps at me. I gulp down. 12

“You are mine whether you accept it now or even after 100 years of your life from now on. You were mine,you are mine and you will be mine always and forever.” Now he has his face infront of me ,just inches away. 125

Our breaths mixing together. Then,it hit hard. The scent. His scent. I inhale it. Same. Everything is same about him but just stronger than before.

His eyes fall on my lips and something shifts there before he looks in my eyes again. I move back instantly. I know what he is thinking. 2

He smirks before putting one hand in the back of my hair and pulling me towards him, licking his lips.

“Ah. Don’t you miss me? Because I miss you too.” He whispers in my ear before kissing it. A shiver runs down my spine . 16

“I miss your eyes.” A kiss near my lips. 28

“I miss your blush.” A kiss on my cheek that makes me blush. Damn . 11

“I miss your lips ” A kiss near my lips. I fist my hands beside me. 2

His lips move over my lips ,not touching just brushing.

“I miss your taste.” He puts his tongue out while moving it over my lips that have me pulling deep breaths. My heart picks up.

I say in shaky voice.

“L-let me g-go” 7

He whispers over my lips,

“Your mouth says no but your body says yes. ” 229

I pull back instantly as far as his hand on my head can allow while looking at him with a frown.

“Are you quoting the dialogue from”The Nightmare on the Elm Street?” I ask ridiculously. What? I like that movie. 80

He throws his head back and laughs loudly. His hand on my head leaves it’s place and he puts it at his stomach. His whole body shaking. And like everytime ,I look at him in awe.

“Yes I am.” he says now, chuckling. His face turning towards me again. Now, his face holds a playful look. 7

I roll my eyes at him before jumping off the counter while muttering “whatever” . 1

I was about to push pass him when his hand grips my arm and he pushes me back on his chest. I crash on his chest and look up at him with a scowl. I open my mouth to tell him off or even curse at him when his face descends over mine. 3

And with that,he kisses me ,soundly and hard. One hand,fisting my hair while other,around my waist, holding me in place. I am shocked at his actions. On instant,my hands move and rest on his chest. His hold on me tightens and he kisses me like I’m his drink and he wants to drink me whole. 119

^ 23

I touch my lips thinking about that kiss even days are passed since that kiss had happened but still i can’t keep that image out of my head. 4

I lick my lips ,I can’t forget what he did just because of this damn harmones. I can’t let him in when he is the one to make me build my guards up. What if he leaves me again? 65

A panic settles in the pit of my stomach. Even though I want him gone but still the thought panic me but what panic me more is what Justin has been doing ? 17

I rub my hand over my face and let out a tired sigh.

Xander can’t seem to keep his hands off himself , always touching me holding me but whenever he tries to kiss me again, I push him back and run from there like the house is set on fire and yes that earns laughs from him also. 37

I have to talk to him if I have to get my life back in tracks again. I have to do something because the only person that can make it alright is me . 2

With that determination,i close my eyes and let sleep take over me.

XANDER POV :

I watch her as she falls asleep and I smile. How I am tempted to go and hold her while she sleeps but I am worried that she doesn’t like that. 69

I have camera sets on her room. As I said before , i always have my eyes set on you,Alexandra . 383

I hear a knock,signalling they are here now. I turn my head away from the laptop’s screen and look at them,while sitting up straight on my bed. 2

“Hello,my King. You call us?” Jennifer says,while her daughter,Laila,looks down . 10

“Yes,i do.” I reply before motioning them to sit on the couch that is against the wall. 20

They both sit there. Jennifer is working in my house for a long time since my parents were here and I was kid. Then,sometime ago she asked me if she could bring her daughter also and I said yes without a second thought. She is like a second mother to me,not that I will going to say it outloud. 9

“So what was going down in kitchen that day? ” I ask her. She sighs before replying.

“Laila was there to ask her if she wants anything.” Then she looks at Laila.

“Is that so?” I ask Laila now.

“Y-yes”

I raise an eye .She knows that I won’t going to kill her so she continues. 45

“Well. Alex was sitting alone there and I was looking for some days that she wanted to talk,i mean you see, she was alone and to be honest I will lost my head if I don’t have anyone to talk to so I thought I should talk to her.” Now my both eyebrows raise at her. I hate to admit it but she is right. She was alone and I didn’t think about it.

“Forgive her please King, I will keep an eye on this stupid girl that she doesn’t talk to her again.” She scowls at Laila. I raise my hand to stop her. 7

“Well.. This stupid girl is right if I might add….” Laila blushes furiously at it while Jennifer looks at me,carefully. 7

“You can talk to her…..” Laila looks at me with her eyes shining happily. 3

“But ….” I trail off to get both of their attention.

“Don’t . And I am serious don’t tell her anything and anything means anything . Don’t even call me ‘ King’ infront of her, call me Xander or Sir . Do you get it? She doesn’t know anything about me, about us.” I say seriously looking dead in their eyes. 54

Laila gulps down while looking at her feet , she knows what I mean, she let it slipped last time she knows and Jennifer knows that also as she glares at Laila. 1

“I will make sure nothing like that happens,King. You can have my word.” Jennifer says. 2

“As expected,good to know that. Now that I made myself clear you can go now. ” I dismiss them while leaning against the headboard.

Laila was the first to leave the room when Jennifer was about to go,i call out her name, she peeks her head inside.

“I’m hungry.” I tell her. 76

“Yes,Sir. I’m bringing it.” I nod while deciding to do my work and that is watching my love,sleep. I hear the sound of the door closing and I take a deep breath.

What should I do with you Alexandra? You make me crazy. But I like it. Believe me,i like everything you do to me.
