Sold to my crush

Lily’s POV

I linked my hands through his begrudgingly, giving Grey and Gina a tight smile as Alex led me to the front door.

As soon as the door closed behind us, I ripped my arm away from his and threw my hands up in the air. “Alex what on earth do you think you’re doing.” I exclaimed clearly exasperated.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alex’s lip tugged upward as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a silver flask. He unscrewed the lid with his thumb and faced me. “I’m taking you out for a surprise, weren’t you listening to your boss in there?.”

I glared at him like he had lost his mind which I’m fairly sure that he did not have any brain to begin with. “How do you even know where I work?. You can’t just show up like this!”. I exclaimed.

Alex tipped his flask into his cup and his amused expression only grew as he watched me. The brown liquid splashed as he poured it and my face only contorted to sheer unbelief of the situation.

“It’s only 8am, are you really drinking right now?”. I said as I scrunched my nose in disbelief.

“And when did you start drinking?, did you always drink or I’m just seeing you for the first time?”.

“Just an old habit sweetheart”. He shrugged causally.

“That’s the answer you’d give me?”. I asked as I cocked a brow at him.

“You seem really worked up”. He smiled. ” Had a rough week princess?”.

I huffed and clenched my fists at my side. ” I’m being serious here Alex, you can’t just show up at my work place and pull a stunt like this.”

He just shrugged again and took a long sip out of his drink. “Well I can obviously”. He flashed me a smirk.

I threw my hands against my face and groaned in frustration. “Really?, you think you can just ignore my entire existence and just show up out of the blue and take me out for a dumb surprise!.” I exclaimed.

Alex wrapped his hand around my wrist and pulled me closer to him. “Can’t a man take his own wife out and surprise her?”. He looked at me cockily.

My heart fluttered at the close distance between us but I tried to not let it show. “I can’t go with you”.

“I’m afraid you don’t have a choice. You’re spending the day with me.” He said coly.

My brows shot up and my heart beat accelerated. ” I’m not spending the whole day with you.”

“We’ll see about that.” He shot back as he lowered his eyes towards me.

I folded my arms on my chest as I tried to stand my ground. “Go home or go back to wherever you’re coming from. I don’t care but all I know is that I’m not going anywhere with you”. I said firmly.

Alex lifted his drink to his lips and threw the rest of the drink down his throat.

I gulped as I watched his sexy Adam apple bob.

When he was finished, he turned to look at me as though my stubbornness only encouraged him more. “You’re wrong again princess, if you want me to go home or anywhere else so badly, you would have to drive me there.”

“I’m not driving you home or anywhere else.” I argued as I got more annoyed by his arrogance.

He held up his empty cup and poured. “I’ve been drinking and I can’t drive so I guess you would have to drive me home unless you want me dead”. He whined.

My mouth dropped open. ” I can’t fucking believe you Alex. I’m not driving you anywhere, I’ll just get you a taxi.

“Either you drive me or I’ll drive myself after I finish this whole thing.” He taunted back as he pulled the flask from his pocket and waved it in his hand.

“You can’t blackmail me into spending time with you.” I bit back. All I wanted was to scream at how confident his expression was.

“it’s not blackmail if that’s exactly what you want”. He said cockily.

“It’s not what I want.” I spat back.

“Are you trying to convince me or yourself princess?. Because I know that’s a lie”. He said as he leaned his face towards me and challenged me with a raise of his brows.

I blew out an annoyed breath and frowned at him. I hate that he’s right and I hate it more that he knows it.

“Just spend today with me, if you don’t want to do this again then I’ll leave you alone and we can go back to however things were before.” He proposed and wet his succulent lips as his haunting eyes focused sorely on me.

I chewed on the inside of my lips as I mulled his proposition around in my head.

I could either go with Alex today and see what would come forth for us after then or I could just stay behind and continue living the way we had been living.

If I decide to stay back and not go with Alex today, according to him it would mean him going back to wherever he was and we would continue this marriage as strangers to each other.

I don’t think I can bear that any longer.

Maybe going with him would be the start of a change in our relationship, maybe Alex actually cared for me and what if he has feelings for me. I guess I would have to go with him to see the end of that.

“It’s not like I have a choice.” I huffed.

“Good choice”. He winked at me and I responded with a rook of my eyes.

“Don’t look so stressed princess, what’s the worst that could happen?. He grinned innocently and took a swing from his flask.

I know exactly what the worst thing is, and that is the reason I’ve been so adamant about not leaving with him.

It’s him, he is the worst thing. I don’t know what I would do if I spend the day with Alex and he makes me feel all those bubbly things that he usually makes me feel only for him to just leave me right after wondering if I’m ever going to be good enough for him.

Well I wouldn’t be so surprised, that’s just men for you. They would take you to the dessert and make you think you’re going to have the best time with them only for them to leave you in the dessert without water.

I rolled my eyes at his question as I tried to ignore the gnawing of my conscience. “Don’t make me regret this Alex.”

I hate how he posses every aspect of my mind, whether I’m awake or in my dreams. I’m playing with fire, I just hope I won’t get burnt.

Alex bit down on his lip. He looked as if he was fighting something that I don’t know of in his mind before he stretched out his hand towards me. ” Let’s go Princess, I have somewhere I want to take you to.
