Annie had left Alexander's office feeling utterly mortified. She couldn't believe she was about to confess her feelings for him in front of someone ese. Annie and Kaylee had been introduced but they hadn't spent any time together yet. Annie had just been too busy and Kaylee had been avoiding Annie so far. It wasn't long before there was a knock on Annie's door. "Come in!" Annie called. The door slowly slided open, revealing Kaylee who had an apologetic smile on her face. "Hi," Kaylee said, sheepishly looking down at the ground. This was her first time having a one on one conversation with Annie, it was taking all of her willpower to control her blazing anger, Kaylee hadn't gotten very far with her plan so far, so she had to try a new tactic which meant talking to Annie herself. Kaylee knew she would have to get used to this, the feelings of frustration and irritation if her new plan would work. "Oh, hi, Kaylee right?" Annie asked, it had been over a week since they had been introdu
"You wanted to talk to me earlier?" Alexander asked as he slowly sat next to Annie on the sofa. Annie jumped a little and paused her show to look at him. She wasn't sure what to say now, Kaylee had made her rethink a lot of things. While she suspected it wasn't Kaylee's intention to discourage Annie from confessing her feelings to Alexander, she couldn't help but think over all the points Kaylee had made. Annie's worst nightmare would be jumping into something that neither of them were ready for. She wanted a way that they could take things slowly, but she doubted there would be a slow with Alexander. Everything with Alexander had always been so intence, it was starting to scare her. Annie wasn't sure she could be all or nothing, expecially with her fragile mental state. "It's not important anymore," Annie shrugged off. Annie hoped and prayed that Alexander would take this as his chance to back off. However, Annie knew that Alexander could never take a hint. He's always seemed so stu
The next morning Annie woke up back in her own bed, she smiled at the thoughts of the night before. She felt so much for Alexander and she was glad to see some development between the two. As she sat in her bed, comforted by her blankets, she thought back to that first night she had met Alexander. He had been such a sweet boy. Everything between them had felt so natural, just as it had last night. She always thought that should be how love is, innocently natural. For years she had set such high standards for her potential partners, it had caused her a lot of pain and even more arguments. Now she wondered if she had been wrong. She wondered if the perfect relationship she was looking for was just someone who she could easily laugh with and spend endless hours talking to without ever getting bored. That first night she spent with Alexander had been the best night of her life. That Alexander had been the one to capture her heart and now she could see glimpses of him in the chaos of his c
Alexander drove for over an hour to get to a relitively unknown location. Alexander had been getting calls from a strange, unknown number all day, it had been happening for a couple of days now. Alexander had finally had enough of it an answered the call, whoever was on the other line clearly used a voice changer and had given him just one location and the instruction to come alone. Alexander couldn't explain why, but he felt compelled to go. With everything that had just happening with Xavier Alexander refused to take any chances. He hadn't confessed it yet, not to anyone accept Chris, but Alexander wasn't even sure that Xavier was dead. Alexander had shot him, at the very least he was incopacitated for a while, but Alexander couldn't be sure he was dead. As Alexander arrived, he sat in his car, turning off the engine as he looked towards the building. The building was an oversized building that had clearly been abandoned for a long time. As Alexander studied the building that could
For the next week Annie barely saw Alexander. He left her notes, and she knew he had been eating the food she always left for him. It seemed they were back to their old pattern. Annie hated it, she was at her wits end. That night they spent together talking for hours on the sofa felt so far away now that Annie had began to believe once again that none of it was real. Annie knew Alexander was a business man with bad habits, but she had thought they would see each other more. She thought that they had been heading towards a relationship, they hadn't even spoken in a week. Annie had tried, she stayed up sometimes, but he had headed straight to the kitchen, ate and left once again. The weird call still hunted her, she had yet to tell Alexander since he hadn't been around. She couldn't even ask him questions. Today Annie decided she would not worry about Alexander or their situation that she was trapped in. Instead she arranged a girls day with all her friends. Since the boys were busy it
Annie felt more confident with her new hair colour. It was still styled from her trip to the salon earlier in the day so all she needed to do to get ready for a dinner with Chris was change clothes. Annie put on a black knee length dress that she felt matched her new hair colour. Annie decided she would arrange to go shopping with one of the girls one day in the next week to get some new clothes to match her new hair colour. Annie lightly did her make up, she was going to a rather fancy restraunt and feared being underdressed, she had never been one to live an expensive life style before and it was a big adjustment for her. She had never really had to worry about her bills, but she didn't have enough money to pamper herself like she did now. Alexander had just given her a debit card with no spending limit. Annie hated thinking about how he got this much money, but she hoped it was of semi legal means despite her doubts. Annie got an uber to the restraunt and when she arrived Chris wa
Chris drove over to headquarters where he assumed that Alexander was hiding out. Chris knew that if Alexander was so busy that he couldn't make time for Annie there must be something up, or something going on that he wanted to be in the loop about. When Chris arrived at headquarters he quickly made his way over to Alexander's office. He greeted people as he saw them go by, it seemed everyone was attending to their usual duties which rose many more red flags to Chris, he couldn't think of a single reason that Alexander would be ignoring Annie so cruelly immediately after she had moved in. Something was off and Chris was determind to find out what. "Why have you been ignoring Annie?" Chrris demanded the second he walked into Alexander's office. Alexander barely looked up from his work. "I've bee busy." Alexander brrushes off. "I have a lot of paperwork." Chris shakes his head. "That's bullcrap, you have the same amount of paperwork as usual unless there is something I don't know ab
Annie had plans with Bailey when she woke up to a once again empty house. Annie was getting sick of always waking up to silence, she missed living with Rebecca who she still wasn’t seeing much of. Rebecca and Cindy were enjoying their honeymoon phase while it lasted, Annie was happy for them but was starting to feel isolated. She and Bailey had made plans to negate the feeling of being apart from their best friends. Annie got dressed quickly. She was glad to finally have her own clothes again, but she still kept the clothes Bailey and Cindy had brought on Alexander’s behalf when she had first arrived. It had felt like so long ago when she had first arrived, she wondered what what going on with her family. Part of her didn’t even care, they still hadn’t checked in, there were no calls when she was away. She would call at some point, but for now she wanted to wait. None of them were in any kind of rush to speak to her. Jack had sent her a text, but she had yet to reply. She didn’t know
