Chapter 10

Aaron

I cannot believe what just happened . I seriously can't ...

When I drove up with Dave this afternoon ; I tried to ask him what was wrong and if there was anything I could do ?. He shook his head and kept quiet. When we pulled up at the estate at three in the afternoon, he dropped his bags in the hotel room we were booked in and ran out . I knew he wouldn't be far but I had installed a tracker in his phone without his knowledge so when I located him I followed the trail to the lake on the other side of the estate . I thought he would be alone but he wasn't .

He was talking with Lexi and she was listening . I wanted to ask him about his bruises but he shut me out . He showed his scars to Lexi because he trusts her . He didn't open up to anyone and he hasn't until I saw him crying and I made a few calls to the school... it turns out he was being bullied and taunted. A video of him when the explosion happened had gone viral at the school . Alexis was able to get him to speak . She did what I couldn't and everything aside ;I am still falling for her something just feels right when I am with her .I want to be a better man... she makes me want to be a better man.

I was about to go down on Alexis and when I was about to unzip her dress ; some guy yanked me off her and started man handling me. We ended up in a fist fight resulting in Alexis screaming and telling the guy to stop . When I heard the hotel room door shut, I pushed the guy off me and when I got out Alexis was nowhere to be seen . I cannot lose Lexi I just found her . Who the hell was this guy who disturbed my sexy time and what's his problem . I walked back and the guy was cleaning up his mess.

"who the hell are you and how do you know my girlfriend."

The guy stopped what he was doing and sat down and looked at me apologetically.

" I am Caleb and I reacted on impulse. I am sorry. Who are you and what are you doing with my sister ."

Oh hell this guy looks like someone I knew from one the evening business classes.

" Thato ?"

"How do you know my middle name?"

" I am Ron Brooks from business class. Remember you introduced me to Gavin before you left the country?"

Caleb looked at me carefully and he looked at me again and face palmed himself.

" You have a beard ... oh my word and you grew your hair .... Ron I am so sorry . I just went crazy."

" Clearly and your sister ran out . "

" I will call her .Dinner is in an hour and I came in to surprise her and I found you about to ... eew . I am sorry."

Caleb dialed the number . Thank goodness my memory kicked in . One republic's - I lived filled the hotel room and my heart sank.

" It's okay. We just need to find her."

Alexis phone rang and I saw it on the counter and I held it.

"Oh my word I shouldn't have fought with you. She must have had a bad response to our fighting. I don't know the full story but Simon better stay away from her ."

" We will find her CT. How?"

" Gavin invited me and how did you end up with my sister."

" It's a long story ."

" Break her heart and I will do more than give you a jaw punch."

My phone rang and it was Bryan calling .

" Excuse me .Bryan what's going on?"

" Are you fine ."

" I am okay . I just need to find my girlfriend ."

"She will be at the dinner just get ready. I will see you there."

"Yes .Do you know where she is?"

" I don't . All I know is that she will be at dinner .

"okay. I will tell Caleb. "

I hung up and looked at a calm Caleb.

" Ron what's up?"

" she'll be at dinner . Do you have tux for tonight?

"No ."

" I will give you mine . We are sitting at the same table . "

Once we cleaned up ;I shared my room with Caleb because I had a spare room besides where my boy was. We were done in thirty minuets and I had decided to shave my beard off . We both headed downstairs and took our seats . I have been anxious and from the time both Caleb and I calmed down and I helped him out. Lexi must have went into shell shock . My heart knew she was here question was where because the starter was served and she wasn't around . I couldn't touch my food . I was too worried about her . I stepped out and went upstairs to her hotel room and there was light beaming from the room. I opened the door and closed it . Her phone wasn't where I left it.

"Lexi ?"

"Abro is that you?"

"Yes my angel are you okay ?"

Lexi came running from the bedroom straight into my arms. I held her gently and kissed her bare shoulder.

"I am now that you're here . I'm so sorry about Caleb."

"It's okay Thato reacted out of impulse ."

She leaned back and shot me a confused look .

"How do you know his middle name ?"

"Where did you run off to honey?"

"Nowhere. "

"Who were you with?"

"Someone."

"Don't ..."

I locked eyes with her and she was looking guilty .

"Bryan..."

I took a deep breath and hugged her ...

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay . Im okay. "

"Tell me; what goes through your head ?"

Lexi's phone rang before she could answer me.
