Dinner
Lily’s PoVUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
I practically ran out of the room with tears streaming down my face. I ran down the stairs bumping into Alex’s father unintentionally. I looked at him horror, my eyes apologising and pleading with him to let me off. I expected him to raise his voice at me as it seems that’s what everyone does around here.
“Woah, you should watch where you’re going next time so you don’t hurt yourself.” He spoke in a surprisingly soft tone, his hands steading me.
“Lily are you okay?”. I replied with a nod flashing him a forced smile. From the look on his face i was sure that he didn’t buy it but thankfully he did not press on the issue.
“Dinner is served, why don’t you come to the table”. He said while leading me to the dining table where Alex’s mother was already sat sending daggers at me.
To say those stares did not give me chills would be a ridiculous lie.
He led me to a seat before walking back to the head of the table and his wife close to him. I kept my head down as I wished for this to be over as my appetite had been ling taken away by Alex and his glaring mother. For now i just wanted to crawl to my bed and hide away from the world. I’ve had a really interesting day.
But i guess it couldn’t get any better as a woody scent hit my nostrils. I sat still refusing to acknowledge his presence as he casually pulled the seat close me and sat down.
My nails had not gotten more interesting than it was now as i trained my vision solely on it.
The food was served by the maids before everyone began digging into their food except i couldn’t do that and instead i continued picking at it.
“Get me a cup of coffee”. Alex’s voice caught my attention and i raised my face to look at him bewildered.
Why would anyone want coffee at this time of the day. Well Alex Dankworth is full of surprises that i can testify.
A maid brought him his coffee in a jar. She stood between me and alex bending over to pour the coffee into his cup.
It all happened in a flash and next thing i know I’m trying to wipe off hot coffee off my burning skin. Coffee that was intentionally spilled on me by none other than the petite brunette that insulted me the other day. I wouldn’t forget that smug face.
The grin on her face was enough proof that she did that on purpose.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorrry Lily. It was an accident”. She said showing fake concern and remorse while attempting to clean the coffee from my hand but instead she brushed the towel roughly on my hand causing painful grunts to leave my mouth.
“It’s okay, please just leave it”. I said through pain while trying to get her off me but she wouldn’t budge as she kept insisting with fake concern.
“Stop it and get out!!”. Alex’s deep voice silenced both of us, putting a stop to our little back and forth.
“I.. I’m.. sorry sir”. She said in merely a whisper obviously cowering in fear.
“Now!!”. His gruff voice boomed out, his tome much more colder than it was it. The petite brunette hurriedly scurried out of the room.
He looked towards me with the same fury in his eyes before he ordered me.” Get up now”. I quickly stood up not giving him the pleasure of repeating himself again.
He stood up at the same time, grabbing my other hand before his mother’s cold voice filled the room.
” She said she was sorry, you did not have to do that at the expense of this.. this thing”. Susan looked at me , her eyes sizing me up as though checking if i was worthy of being called a thing.
“Mama please” Alex said in a pained voice.
“You know it’s true Alex, I’m sure there’s not much damage to her hand ut she’s just being dramatic. “. Susan sneered. Her eyes boring holes into our joined hands.
“Enough mum”. Alex Spat out angrily before storming out of the dining room and dragging
me along with him. His mother had the look of shock on her face. I suppose they had never disagreed on anything. While Daniel, Alex’s Father simply ignored the drama happening around him as he continued having whatever it is he was eating.
Well there goes Dinner.
When we finally got into the room, Alex slammed the door closed and pratically threw me on the bed before walking to he bathroom.
I sat quietly without making a sound for fear of aggravating him or worse being at the recieving end of his anger.
The sound of the bathroom door opening made my breathe hitch. I sat still refusing to look towards the bathroom door until he came into view.
He was a holding a stool and a first aid Kit. He placed the stool in front of me before sitting
casually on the chair.
“Give me your hand”. He spoke in a firm gruff voice, his expression as cold as ever and his eyes held so much anger in that.
I brought my hand forth and he held it bringing close to his eyes as though he was examining the burn. I wonder if he feels the spark and tingles i feel right now as he’s holding my hands. The room had become hotter from the close proximity we were in. His scent was all i could breathe and i was loving it.
He took out something from the first aid kit and began applying it on my hand. I flinched from the stinging pain it caused and that did not go unnoticed by Alex.
“Does it hurt?” Alex surprisingly asked in a softer tone. His eyes searching mine for the answer. “Yes, a little bit”. I said while biting lips to prevent the groans that wanted to escape.
I watched as Alex continued treating my hand with so much focus. He did it tenderly and asked at every time if it hurt, if i did not know better i would think he actually cared for me.
I watched his wavy dark hair that had gotten longer fall over hus face. He beautify grey eyes, his well chiseled jaw and his beautiful face. I could stare at him all day and to think that he was all mine, well just legally but that should count right?.
I stared at his sexy lean and long fingers as they moved skillfully treating my hand and now i wished i had more burns all over my body. God how did he make everything look so sexy.
I imagined him being a doctor, a sexy doctor. I’m sure he would get a lot of clients waiting in line for him.
“Lily can you stop that and please let go of hand, i said I’m done”. I heard Alex’s smug tone and he had a smirk on his face a he spoke.
I quickly retracted my hand and looked at him wide eyed as i realized that i had been caught.
I did not even realize that i had held his hand and was feeling his fingers up to his veiny arm. And boy did i say how good it felt.
I can only imagine what those sexy fingers can do.
“Wifey if you let me i can show you exactly what i can do with my fingers, just say the word”. Did i fucking say that out loud.
He stood up from the stool bent over . He was so close to me that our noses were touching and my heart beat accelerated. I quickly squeezed my eyes shut as i rambled out.
“I.. I never said that”.
“Mmm, but i need you to stay still and be quiet.” I did not believe that he could get any closer to me.
“Mmmm”. The sexiest sound ever blessed my ears. I felt his breathe on my neck as he spoke.
“You smell so good wifey”. I couldn’t help the blush that formed on my cheek. He was doing so many things to me at once.
“Alright, i got it.”. Alex said before he moved away frome. I opened my eyes find him chuckling with his hands in his pocket.
I just sat there with my cheeks red. Turns out Alex had no intention of making out me. He just needed his phone, but couldn’t he just go through the other side of the bed
Fuck you Alex!!!
“Goodnight Lily”. He smirked at me before walking out of the door.
“Aghh” i screamed into the pillow. I laid on the bed playing different scenarios of me and Alex in my head. With those thoughts i fell asleep.
