A novel of passion's flame chapter 19
NORA'S POV
I still couldn't believe what had happened earlier at the dining table. Alexander and his mother had an argument and he stormed out in rage.
To hell with the wedding and the goddamn wedding planner. His words kept replaying in my head and I bit my lips nervously.
Surely he didn't mean those words but what bothered me was the way he was staring at me while he said that,I was confused, Nervous and worried.
While i sat in my room in deep thoughts,I could still hear Tricia's excited voice as she spoke to the wedding planner. Mr Knights had invited me to join them but I declined with an excuse of having a headache and she asked me to come rest in my room.
Mrs Knights was a really nice woman but why does she want Alexander to get married when he clearly doesn't want to but faking everything? I still don't understand all this.
I stepped out of the room, watching Tricia excited conversations with the planner and I felt a pang in my chest. Alexander would be getting married soon and I couldn't understand why the thought filled me with Sadness and Hurt.
I didn't know why the thought bothered me so much,I had only known Alexander for a short time but I felt so drawn to him.
I shook my head, clearing my thoughts. I needed to focus on the present moment, not get caught up in feelings I couldn't explain.
I was about to turn and head to my room when Tricia's Eyes fell me,I Didn't look away from her;Daring her with my eyes and she eventually looked away and I walked back to my room.

ALEXANDER'S POV.
I downed another glass of whiskey, Gesturing for Lab to pour me another. He stared at for a moment before obliging, watching me closely.
"Alexander, Shouldn't you head home? Your mother would be worried"Lan said, setting the bottle down and sitting beside me.
Lan was more than just an employee;He was like family and I considered him a good friend. I sighed taking another long sip of whiskey.
"Mother wants me to meet with the wedding planner"I said, my voice laced in furstration.
Lan's brows furrowed. "What's wrong with that?"
I hesitated, unsure of how to respond. "I don't know....I just...."
Lan's Lips twitched with amusement. "Is this about Nora?"
My brows furrowed. "What makes you think that?"I asked, playing it cool.
"I've seen the way you look at her..... What do you feel about her?"He asked.
I took a deep breath,My heart pounding hard against my chest. "What do I really feel about Nora?"
Lan nodded. His eyes sparkling in amusement but he said nothing, waiting for me to continue.
I stood up, feeling a rush of emotions. I walked over to the window, staring out the City below.
"There's just something about her...I don't know, it's hard to explain. Everytime I'm around her,I get this weird feeling. I feel like I'm drawn to her like there's this unexplainable connection between us but at the same time I'm scared of what that means, I'm scared of how she makes me feel,of the way she looks at me with her beautiful eyes...I find myself wanting to be around her more,I want to know more about her,to understand what it is about her that's got me all twisted up inside. I want to make her smile,I want to make her blush,I want her to always be happy,I want to protect her, I want to support her,I want to have her in my arms, I want to feel her lips against mine,I want her....I want her to be mine"
I turned around and Lan's expression took me aback,He looked shocked, His eyes were wide open.
"You're in Love dude!"He exclaimed,a huge grin spreading across his face.
I glared at him, feeling a flush Rice to my cheeks. His jaw dropped.
"You're blushing"His Eyes went wide.
WHAT THE F-UCK!
I Am Alexander Knights,I don't blush!
I can't blush!
And I'm blushing!
I'm Blushing! For her.
"Shut up"I said sternly,my expression serious. "This never happened okay"I said and he nodded, still laughing.
I frowned feeling a surge of annoyance. "I want to Ask you some questions, You've known Nora for a long time right?"I asked,my heart pounding hard against my chest.
Lan nodded again,A sly grin spreading across his face. "I want to know everything about her, Does she have a boyfriend?"I asked.
He bursted out laughing and I stared at blankly, wondering what was so funny about what I asked. "I could send you out of my office right now"I warned, trying to sound stern.
Lan rolled his eyes. "You need me to give you information about your crush"He winked.
I glared at him."Shut up and answer the question"
Lan's grin faltered for a moment before he responded. "Yes she does, There's this guy....."
My heart sank and I felt a surge of Jealousy. She has a boyfriend?
"What's his name?"I growled,my hands gripping the glass of whiskey.
Lan's eyes were filled with amusement. The fucker is amused....I felt so angry, annoyed and furstrated right now.
"Woah Woah Woah, Calm down,I was kidding. Nora doesn't have a boyfriend, She's never been interested in boys"
I felt relief wash over me and my lips curled up into a smile. Lan laughed again, looking bewildered.
"You're fucking whipped bro!"
I glared at him but I couldn't deny the fact that he was right. I was whipped,I was in trouble. I can feel it but Nora's got me wrapped around her finger and I don't even care.
