A novel of passion's flame chapter 22
ALEXANDER'S POV
I couldn't sleep last night,I couldn't stop thinking about Nora all night, I couldn't stop thinking about what she had asked_𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩. I hadn't expected her to Ask me that and I certainly wanted to tell her what I really wanted but I couldn't.
But the truth was,I had made a choice to get married to Tricia despite her annoying behaviors. I had also done it for Lily's sake, She doesn't really get along with Tricia but with time I'm sure she'll get used to Tricia being around and finally accepts her as her mother.
And I had also agreed to get married to Tricia for another reason,A reason that I couldn't reveal to Nora yet_it's not like I didn't trust Nora,I trusted her a lot but I just can't tell her yet.
She'd asked me what I really wanted yesterday,If only she knew that all I wanted was her with her bright smile and sparkling eyes. Nora was different, She was like a breath of fresh air, She'd made me feel what I hadn't felt for any woman before.
She makes me feel Alive, Excited and Nervous all at once. She'd awakened a part of me that I didn't know existed and I couldn't help but crave more of it and this feeling.
Just thinking about made my heart race,Made me smile,Made me happy and sad. I was really worried about her, She didn't look alright last night, She looked deeply hurt,I could see the sadness in her eyes.......
I heard a knock at the door, disrupting my thoughts and before I could even respond, Tricia walked in and I felt my mood turn sour.
I frowned. "What are you doing here?,You can't just barge into my room like you own it"
Tricia's Eyes narrowed. "I can't come into my Future husband's room....."
There she goes with that Word husband that annoyed the hell out of me. "I don't have time for that crap this morning, What are you doing here and what do you want?"
Tricia took a step closer towards my bed. "I came to talk to you"
I raised an eyebrow. "About?"
"About us"She said, staring at me with a smile.
I frowned. What did she want talk about? Our wedding? Our future together? I certainly didn't want to have that conversation with her.
"What about us?"My voice was cold.
Tricia took a step more closer, her eyes flashing in anger. "We don't spend time with each other anymore"She said loudly. "You don't kiss me, You don't touch me and you don't even f-uck me...I missed you"
I looked at her;My face blank,I didn't react, Didn't respond,I just stared at her blankly.
Tricia was good in bed,no doubt. We'd f-cked a few times weeks ago but I'd made it clear from the start that she shouldn't expect something more or love from me.
"Say Something"She demanded.
"What do you want me to say, Tricia?"I raised my eye brows,My voice cold.
"You don't know what to say, Really?!!!"She exclaimed. "I'm your fiance and you can't even talk to me, I'm getting tired of being treated like this, I'm tired of being ignored, I'm tired of being treated like I'm not even worth your time"Her eyes were filled with anger but I still didn't respond.
"What is so Special about Nora huh?,Is she more beautiful than I am?,Is she more sexy than I am?, Can she take care of your needs more than I can? Can she love you more than I can?, What is so special about her huh?...."She paused,Her chest heaving with anger.
Nora was everything she wasn't, She was beautiful, Simple, Selfless, Caring, Kind, Respectful,Smart, Innocent.... She had a way of drawing me in, attracting me with her innocence and pure heart. She makes my heart beat faster, She makes me nervous, She makes me blush, She makes me feel unexplainable things.
"I'm the one who's been by your side all this years, I'm the one who's been supporting you, Loving you... Even after August..."She didn't dare complete her words when I turned and looked At her with cold eyes.
"Don't you dare utter his name ever again"My tone was cold, dripping with warning.
Tricia swallowed,Her eyes filled with fear."I'm sorry bringing up the pas...."
She f-king knew the rule,No one Utters that name in my house.
"Get out"I ordered,my voice cold and filled with rage.
"Don't forget that we have an appointment with the wedding planner to meet at the store today for our wedding"
With that, She turned on her heel and left.
August.
My jaw clenched as memories of the past filled my head. I desperately tried to push the thoughts away but couldn't.
I heard a knock again and I clenched my fists, thinking it was Tricia again and I stormed towards the door, filled with anger.
But when I opened the door,I was met with a pair of beautiful concerned eyes staring at me. I felt my anger disappear replaced by a sense of relief.
I missed her so much....
"Al...."She started to say but I didn't let her finish,I pulled her into my room, locked the door behind her and wrapped my arms around her tightly.
She gasped softly but she didn't pull away instead she melted into my arms,her body fitting perfectly against mine.
I pressed my nose against her neck, inhaling her sweet scent and I felt my senses calm down.
She was just what I needed,What I wanted.
Her presence soothed me and I felt my heart slow down,My nerves calming.
With her by my side,in my arms,I found Peace.
