#CHALLENGE ACCEPTED#

ALEX'S POV

"Such a bitch." I state while I stride away from him but he holds onto my waist slamming me onto his chest. I spun around and place my hands flat on his surprisingly damp chest. I was expecting it to be more sweaty since performing calisthenics wasn't an easy game. Unless you were experienced.

"Bastard you meant." He says with mischief gleaming in his caramel eyes that were surprising looking lighter.

"Still a bitch sweetie." I say while getting on my toes as I peck his cheek.

Before I left the door I heard him say, "It's on..."

And that's how I knew what my next move was.

MYTHIAS' POV

(SWIPE FOR ALEX'S OUTFIT)

After an update in a few hours from Jake as promised I head into some business work. A lot has been going on in the Company as well as Mafia work. Getting into hectic times is all part of the life cycle.

My life cycle...

As for the company I was needed for one of the major events held by my company and so I inform Alex. She was apparently helping in finding Dan with Jake and others.

It took me by surprise but as I stood here waiting for Alex to grace us with her presence I got more annoyed.

"It's called being fashionably late..." Her soft voice echos from the top of the stairs as she descends looking breath-taking in her nude coloured dress that had a slit along with a bangle on her arm.

Truth be told, I've never seen her wearing jewelry.

"I prefer your hair down gorgeous." I say as she takes the last step and tries to hold a cute smile as she blushes pink.

"Exactly why its up. You look handsome as ever...Jake" She says as Jake takes her away leaving me with raised brows.

"Why don't I ever get a compliment?" I ask crossing my arms over in a child like manner walking towards the car.

"You've got to earn it..." She replies while sucking on another lollipop.

"It's blueberry flavored. In case you both were wondering."

I thought she was just talking to me as I narrow my eyes at Jake though he just looks out the window. Did he have a thing for her?

Who was I kidding? Anyone who sets eyes on her imagined her sleeping with them or even worse.

I walk closer to her and she links her arms through mine while Jake walks to the bar. I guess the toll of not knowing where Dan or anyone for that matter is on both of us.

"You know it doesn't hurt to smile Mr. Hale..." She sinkers my cover name.

"If only you knew sweetheart" I say greeting others while nodding my head acting as if I was interested. For some reason all my attention was on one woman.

Alex.

She played along well and she even danced with a random guy who was getting too close for my liking.

But despite my instincts I ask a brunette to dance with me and she complies. She wore a dark blue dress with an exposed cleavage but it wasn't as perfect as Alex's.

Fuck! Why did I just compare her to Alex? She was getting to my skin. I look back to see her blush under my gaze which made me smirk although I really wanted to smile.

She was fuckin' adorable when she blushed but her being confident was really a turn on. My heart did a weird thing when I see her about to kiss the guy with dirty blonde mop of hair.

I yank him backwards and leave the event. She was grinning and went straight to Jake whispering something in his ears.

Jake stood up and we both followed her. She had us wrapped around her pinky. Not for long though.

As soon as we reached home she took us to the computer room and plugged in a flash drive typing in a password.

It was an encrypted one as a pin pointed GPS signal flashes.

"And there is my buttercup..."

"How did you...?" Jake asks but she gives a cheeky smile instead. What did she do?

"While you two had your heads stuck up your ass I got the work done. Thank me...when we find him in one piece."

Great. Get ready for a long road trip to...Miami.
