Chapter 24: Game of cat and mouse
Hearing the familiar voice sound loudly in her ear, Olivia inhales deeply, cursing under her breath as she turns to meet Adams's cold gaze.
"What do you think you're doing to a sick patient?"
"Sick?" Olivia scoffs unbelievably, she had not expected things to turn out this way
"Yes"
"What are you doing here anyway? Alexandra isn't your mate so why care?"
"I was just in the neighborhood"
"Then how did you know she wasn't feeling fine"
"I overheard your conversation earlier so why are you hurting her?"
"Me? I wasn't"
"I saw you, you were demanding that she make breakfast for you"
Olivia rolls her eyes, wondering what has suddenly come upon Adam while
Alexandra smiles sinisterly, watching the scene as it unfolds.
"I wasn't and if I was, what's it to you? Alexandra isn't your mate"
"Olivia" Adams whispers
"What? Hasn't she told you about Nathaniel Starkov of Crimson pack"
"Olivia" He states "That's enough"
"Why? They would soon be getting married so you better know or don't tell she hasn't told you"
"I know everything. Everyone in the pack knows so, of course, I know as well"
"Then leave right away"
"No. Alexandra is one of our own and if she's not feeling tfine hen is our duty to take care of her"
Alexandra rolls her eyes hating how those two thought they would make a fool of her.
"Can the both of you please leave? I'm trying to sleep"
Olivia rolls her eyes, walks out, and slams the door, pissed off. She had not expected Adams to show up and what's worse, take Alexandra's side, that was humiliating and a blow to her face.
"I came as soon as I heard you were not feeling fine"
Alexandra forces a smile. "It seems so"
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
"No, I'm not hungry"
"I can make you something to eat"
"Forget it but you can help Olivia out, she is the one starving"
Adams smiles unsure of what to say. a
She closes her eyes "I want to sleep"
"Are you not going to give me the response today?"
Alexandra rolls her eyes certain that was why he had came over but what he didn't realize is that she had bigger plans, one he would never see coming. "I'm sick"
"You only need your mouth Alexandra to speak"noveldrama
"Will you please stop pestering me?"
"I'm sorry, just thought this place would be more convenient for you"
"Who are you to think for me? Who are you to know what I want? What do you know about me?"
"I'm sorry"
"Enough of your sorry"
"Let's reschedule, how about this evening"
Alexandra gawks at him trying to figure out why he was this desperate.
"Aren't you a little too much?"
"How?"
"I'm here, stuck in bed sick and all you could think of is the response I was supposed to give you" She scoffs. "Are you this inconsiderate or heartless?"
"Of course not but we have to set a new date"
"Tomorrow, same time and place"
Adams smiles. "Thank you. It wasn't my intention to piss you off"
"Piss off"? Alexandra laughs. "I'm not pissed off"
"I thought you were"
"You should stop thinking over things till you are certain of it"
Adams nods affirmatively. "Is there anything you will like me to get for you tomorrow?"
"No"
"What about your favorite chocolate? Flowers? Cake? I heard women love all these things"
"Women not Alexandra Guerrero. However just come with yourself and don't bring anything, it will be useless anyway"
Adams frowns, a little sad. "Why will it be? I would feel so useless if I approach you tomorrow without any gifts"
"If you decide to come with gifts, I won't come and you won't get your response sso it is best you stick to the end of the deal. No gift, a response, a gift then no response. Which would you prefer?"
"Of course, I will love my response. Gifts can wait later"
Alexandra smiles but it didn't reach her eyes.
"But wait, are you certain you don't want to see the pack doctor?"
"Yes"
"What if this sickness gets worse tomorrow and you can't make it"
"Don't worry about that, I will certainly be there, nothing would stop me from missing the show"
"What show?"
"Nothing I mean nothing can stop us from talking tomorrow so don't worry"
Adams smiles, touching her forehead, he feels her temperature. "You seem to be running a little temperature, wait here let me get some towel"
Alexandra forces a wide smile hoping he would just leave, glancing at the wall clock, it was noon, and she needed for him to leave her room so she could set her plans in motion.
"No!" She states aloud causing Adams to pause
"I shouldn't get it"
"Why don't you make lunch for me, I'm starving"
Nodding his head affirmatively, Adam leaves the room shutting the door and Alexandra jumps out of bed, striding towards the window, she looks down and sees one of the messengers already waiting for her as she had requested. They lock eyes together and he waves at her, Alexandra smiles, writing a note. She walks out of the room, certain Olivia was already out of the house and Adam would be in the kitchen.
Strolling through the dark hallway, Alexandra tiptoes down the stairs, glancing around hoping Adams wouldn't hear the sound of her feet walking into the living room. Alexandra rushes towards the entrance door, smiling sinisterly, attempting to open the door when she hears.
"Hello. Is anyone there?" Adams states as he stands by the dining "Alexandra is that you?"
Alexandra stiffens, her heart beating faster.
"Olivia is that you?" Adams begins to walk into the living room and Alexandra clenches her jaw, wondering why Adam had to show up at her house uninvited, glancing around a lot of things runs through her mind as Adams draws nearer. Alexandra hides by the corner, sweat creeps up her palms. Unexpectedly, Adams's phone rings, and he quickly takes the call walking away, Alexandra exhales deeply.
"That was very close, I almost got a heart attack" she opens the door and leaves
