Chapter 26

*Alex's point of view*

After Louise stormed away from me in a moody huff with that boy David chasing after her like some lapdog, I contemplated going after her but eventually decided against it, I was only being mean to be kind but I kept that to myself knowing it could very well backfire and result in me being injured.

Instead, I took deep breaths hoping to dampen the possessive streak that had flared up at the thought of David alone with my girl.

Although louise may not know it yet, she was Mine. She was mine in every way but sexual. At least not yet anyway.

I was trying to go at a reasonable pace, no matter how much it was killing me. I swear I was in a constant state of arousal, everything she wore was so fuckng sexy it made me mad that other men got to see it. She was MINE and I refused to share her with anyone and everyone who has a dick or is attracted to pussy better realize that!

But I also knew louise. Within the short amount of time, I already knew that if I tried to rush things between us, she would shut down and shut me out. God knew she could be a cold hearted bitch and I didn't want to be on the recieving end. I've been with enough women to know which battles to fight and which to hive into. I certainly didn't need another sexual harassment suite against me.

No, she woud come to me, and she would come to me under my terms.

Before I could work myself into a jealous frenzy, I heard the patter of heavy footsteps, instantly I knew it was Louise. 

'Finally over our little temper tantrum are we?' I mocked, feigning indifference. I didn't want her to know the struggle I underwent in leaving her alone with the dick David. I quickly entered the vehicle  so that they couldn't see my face.  I normally pride myself in having the best pokerface. I could lie through my teeth without anyone blinking a notice. Only god knew the amount of times, that had save my ass yet louise was able to easily see through me. It was unnerving.

Hearing louise enter the car, I was about to turn and order her to put her seatbelt on as she had a nasty habit of forgetting about her own safety, when that asshole stomped his foot on the gas. Hard.

Quickly clipping my own seatbelt, I checked the mirror to see that louise also had hers in, allowing me to breath a sigh of relief before my attention diverted to the dick head who was driving us to our possible death.

I had almost forgotten just how French he was. Europeans in general were known to be terrible drivers, what with having practically no streetlights and driving on the wrong side. But France was a whole other level, or at least the frenchmen were. This idiot seemed to have decided to chuck his rule book out the window and into a fire pit because, how he was driving, could not be deemed legal.

I felt my heart drop to my feet as we narrowly missed another car as the monkey decided to just switch lanes. I felt my face pale as we came to a sharp turn to narrowly avoid some pedestrians that seemed to forget that roads were made for cars not people. I swear at one point, the car was only on two wheels.

When we finally came to a stop, I felt like emptying out my breakfast but managed to hold myself together. Louise was going to need me. This proved true almost instantly when she stumbled out of the car, her face looking worryingly green. Instantly, I reached out for her; gently rubbing her back, hoping to be of some sort of comfort.

Strangely however, it was me who felt my stomach settle as a peace rested over me,

'You think you had it bad? try watching every narrow miss, you would have taken a panic attack, ' I said chuckling softly so as not to anger the bear, 'I think you forget that he isa pure blooded frenchman.'

'Promise me one thing,' she whispered, probably still recovering from the near death experience, before gripping my arm tightly.

Instantly I was alert. Louise did not initiate physical contact. She was the type of person who loathed people getting in her personal space, or as she plainly told me once; she just hated humans in general. So the fact that she initiated the contact had me worried and confused, last time she did that, I fucked up and ended up on her shit list.

'What?' I asked, trying and failing to hide my concern.

'You better be driving us back,' she managed to get out, before emptying her lunch onto the pavement. Gently holding her hair back out her face, I couldn't help but feel really happy. I was making progress with louise. She was beginning to trust me, my displays of affection towards her was working and wearing her down. 

Soon she would be mine in EVERY way.
