Downside Upside (Chapter 16)

Downside Upside

Chapter 16

When I woke up, I was snuggled in Alexander’s arms. I can’t lie, it was nice.

But I knew that I should get up before he woke up.

I tried to move, but Alexander was a lot stronger than he looked.

Maybe just five more minutes...

The next time I awoke, a nimble hand was playing with my hair.

I felt like I had turned into a flaming tomato when I looked at Alexander.

He was awake and smiling right at me. Still holding on tight.

“Hey there” he whispered.

“Hi” I whispered back.

I tired to get up again but Alexander still had a firm grip on me.

“Alexander we need to get up eventually” I said.

With an annoyed huff he finally let me move.

“By the way, would you be interested in going to an unbirthday party with me?” Alexander asked.

I smirked

“Only if your my date to my mothers ball.”

Alexander’s smile widened,

“I believe that can be arranged.”

“You better get going before the guards find you.” I said

He nodded and was back on the terrace within a second.

I walked after him.

“I’ll see you when tomorrow morning for me and tomorrow night for you.” I said

Alexander turned quickly around to me and gave me a small kiss before turning back.

“I’ll see you then Red.”

How one can disappear into the morning sunshine, I will never know. But somehow Alexander can pull it off.
