Alejandro sat in the mini dining room in his bedroom clad in a simple black T-shirt and a pair of black trousers. He scrolled through his phone as he awaited Jasira whom he sent Amy to fetch earlier.
The door soon opened revealing Jasira in a red dinner gown, a split run up to her mid-thigh, her hair was stylishly done by Amy, and she had a mid makeup on her face. Amy had forced her to dress up claiming this moment was special.
Alejandro dropped his phone, his eyes shining brightly as he glanced up, he must admit Jasira is one hell beautiful lady.
“You look beautiful.” He complimented as she sat on the chair in his front, the mini dining room contained two chairs and a glass dining table.
“Thank you.” She blushed rubbing her thumbs together.
“Let’s eat.” He stated
************
“I told you not to eat that food,” Alejandro complained as he rubbed Jasira’s back who had her head buried in the sink.
She raised her head and splashed water onto her face before turning to him. “But you put so much effort in__” She hadn’t completed her sentence when she turned to the faucet again and poured out the content in her stomach.
“So.” He snapped. “Did you think I would be okay knowing I caused this for you?”
She said nothing to his words and rinsed her mouth and then her face. He was feeling guilty but she wouldn’t be okay with herself also knowing his effort was wasted just like that.
She stood up and he guided her back to his bed, it was barely ten minutes after the food that she started vomiting, the salt in the rice was too much and the chicken was undercooked.
“Lie down while I get you some water.” He announced and she nodded. She watched his back as he went to get water from the freezer in the room. Never had it crossed her mind that Alejandro would be this caring to her, he really proved to her that he could change his cold side of him for her.
“Here,” He said giving it to her.
“Thank you.” She collected the uncapped bottled water.
After drinking the water, she started feeling sleepy, she kept cautioning herself not to sleep in his room but the last thing she remembered before she dozed off was someone covering her with a duvet.
*******
Jasira woke up the next morning feeling much better than yesterday, her stomach wasn’t upsetting and she felt so agile.
She dilated her pupils before snapping her eyes open, the strange white ceiling with an ash-colored room made her eyes pop out.
Shit, she slept off in Alejandro’s room, it was then she noticed a strong arm wrapped around her body on the bed.
She became still with her eyes popped out, trying to digest the images glaring at her. Alejandro allowed her to sleep on his bed without having sex with her, not only that: he was wrapping his arms protectively around her.
She wanted to scream, yell for the whole world to see that she tamed the devil, but she couldn’t because she was trembling herself.
Swallowing a large lump, she clasped her hands on his fingers and tried to unfold it but he was too strong for her. She cried with frustration while rolling her eyes, she needed to sneak out of this room before he woke up, she just couldn’t… she couldn’t… she thought about him waking up and seeing her ugly face, rumpled hair, and her morning breath.
She screamed voicelessly kicking her legs in the air before trying to unlock his arms around her waist again.
“And where did you think you were going?” Alejandro’s voice questioned, his voice was deep and rough sending shivers down her legs.
If she had thought his voice couldn’t get any more deep, she was clearly joking, if she was on her feet, she’d be shaking right now. “I’m, going, to my… room.”
Alejandro’s hot breath fanned against her bare neck making her gasped loudly, “What are__Geez.” She screamed as Alejandro grabbed her waist, picked her up on the bed, and made her lie on top of him.
“Alejandro!” Her eyes bulged out as she yelled. “Let me down.” She placed her hands on his chest in between her body and his while kicking her feet in the air as she struggled to come down but his stronghold around her waist denied her the body.
“Please.” She glanced at him to see that a thin smile formed on his face as she struggled. “Stop it.” She cried and his lips curved up making her bury her face in his chest and stop kicking her feet.
“Look up.” He pinched her waist and she whined shaking her upper body, he grunted deeply leaving Jasira with questions, her eyes almost fell off when she realized that she was jingling her boobs on his chest.
“Alejandro!” She screamed jerking her head up at Alejandro who stared at her blankly. “You are grunting!” She whined like he forgot he was doing so.
Alejandro said nothing as he sat up without leaving Jasira, he rested his back on the headboard as he arranged Jasira on his thigh.
“But I want to get down not you sitting up.” She whined pouting her lips while playing with her fingers. Within a few days, she had become so comfortable with Alejandro and literally forgotten that he was the devil, and she was supposed to fear him.
Her eyes jerked up as he flicked her forehead, not enough to hurt. “Should I drop you?” He arched his brow with his eyes pinned on her.
Of course, she was supposed to nod yes but she surprised herself as she shook her head negative. “No… I mean yes.” The wholehearted laugh from Alejandro made her mouth drop.
His head was thrown back, his pure white dentition was on display then his half-closed eyes. She was awestruck, she had gotten used to seeing his cold face and now he was smiling, never did she thought he would be this beautiful, butterflies danced freely in her stomach.
He pulled a flat face as he stared at her, “You are one hell troublemaker.” He pulled a loose strand behind her hair shocking once more.
“You have change and I love it.” She didn’t know when that escaped from her mouth, that was supposed to be in her mind.
Silence stretched after her confession, Alejandro understood what she meant by that, of course, he was also shocked by his strange but nowadays, he found himself loosened up for Jasira.
“I mean, in, a good way.” She fibs, playing with her finger, maybe she shouldn’t have said that, Jasira: why can’t you just keep shut for a second? Now, Alejandro was already angry with her.
Alejandro lifted her chin with his forefinger and made her stare into his blue eyes. “I promise to change for you in a little way I could. Will you accept me as I am?”
She froze, her tongue stuck in her mouth because a heavyweight sat in her chest as she stared at him. “I… I don’t__”
“It’s okay.” Alejandro cut her off, his voice was suprisedly gentle as he said so. He grabbed her by the waist and then placed her on the bed gently.
“Are you going out?” Jasira’s voice came out sadly surprising herself, why was she sad now? ‘You should be happy for goodness sake’
Alejandro rummaged his hands through her hair and chuckled, “You knew I always have somewhere to go baby girl.”
Jasira pushed her lips forward, “I know.” She blinked innocently and Alejandro nodded before standing straight.
“I don’t want you to leave the mansion today?”
Jasira arched her brow surprised as she sat upright. “Why? Not like my killers are out there?”
“Jasira!” he took a sharp breath, his forehead bunching up in a frown. “Listen to me.”
Was he angry? All she was crack a small joke and he took it seriously. She sat upright and swallowed her lump before speaking. “I won’t.”
His tensed shoulders released and he exhaled before muttering okay and left for the ensuite.
