“So you aren’t fucking?”
I didn’t like her tone. No, we weren’t. I wished we were. I gathered so did Alexandra. I hated the idea of a few months more with celibacy but damn if I didn’t think it might be fun at that point. I wanted to unwrap her like a birthday present. God, the idea of it conjured up more than feelings these days. I never imagined I would find myself attracted to Alexandra, but she lived in my brain rent-free. Our time apart only hammered that home. I worried about her.
“Whether we are or aren’t isn’t your business, Bridge.”
“Hmm… well, since you’ve gone soft on me, I am done. This is your last chance. If you want?—”
“Bridget, I could blow up my life for you, yes, but I don’t want to. What I want is to try to have a redemption arc where I stop lashing out and hurting people. You deserve the same. Take the time to find someone who treats you well for once. Cherish that, okay?”
“What?”
“Just…” I wasn’t sure what to say. “Goodbye.”
I hung up.
I paced, wanting to scream. I was shaking. Torture was seeing her dangled in front of me. I knew she was no good, but I couldn’t help myself. I headed down to the garage. Hopping in my car, I drove like a madman through the streets.
I arrived at the palace and padded down the hall to find the person I longed to see. Press and parents be damned! I needed to do this.
“Rick… what are you doing here?”
Alexandra opened the door to her room in a dressing gown. It was not sexy, but I sensed maybe there was something sexy underneath it.
I pushed my way into her doorway, still reeling. The bed was unmade. She’d been cosied up with a book by the looks of it-— one with a half-naked cowboy on the cover. Interesting choice, but I couldn’t fault her for reading.
“I… I wanted to tell you that I missed you,” I said.
“You said that earlier,” Alexandra said. “Are you alright?”
“Alexandra, I want and need you in my life. We started this off on odd footing, but I need you now. You see good in me I do not. You believe in me when I have no hope in hell of doing anything right.”
“That’s not true.”
“I care about you, Lex. I just wanted you to know.”
“Okay, well, I care about you, too, but our hides will be tanned if?—”
“Oh, fuck them! Celeste cannot control us forever?—”
“Celeste can hurt me,” Alexandra’s voice was nervous.
“Alright, I won’t stay,” I agreed. “I want to, but I won’t.”
I opened the door to the hall and stepped across the threshold.
“I will be here for you—no one else—until you tell me otherwise,” I promised. “You and your sisters can trust in me. Now and forever. I’m here to help.”
Alexandra smiled broadly. I couldn’t help but want to kiss her. God, she looked so adorable! I leaned in, my lips grazing hers. She pulled me closer by the collar of my shirt. I dug in, pushing her against the door jam. We stood halfway in the threshold. I ran my hand down to cup her assA. As I did, she leaned harder into me. As I cupped her breast with my other hand, I was delighted to find it was surprisingly full. I wanted to bury my face in her tits before running her off to bed. She moaned. I wondered if getting her off counted against us.
That was until I heard a voice behind us.
“Dear brother, what are you doing here?”
I stopped, backing away.
“I was saying goodnight to Alexandra,” I said.
Alexandra nodded, as if in a trance.
