Chapter 5: Starting over again

Atasha was silent when Alex suddenly took her hand. He was about to take it back but Alex grabbed his hand tightly and kissed it.I know you're still angry but I'll do everything just to get rid of the feelings you're not good for us, for me ... in Alex's mind.

Let my actions prove it to you if you don't believe what I said and he put Atasha's hand on his chest and the girl turned to his behavior and he smiled at her dearly and looked back at the road.

They reached the house and Alex immediately opened it for her. Alex was about to carry her but she said she can walk.

“Shai?” Alex wondered why her mood change.

"I said I'm fine!” She yelled. She saw something in his eyes that makes her apologize for shouting at him.

"It’s ok.” Alex's sad response.

Alex led her into the house ... Doña Andrei greeted them wondering why they came home so early.

"Oh hija why are you early? Her granny ask.

Atasha was about to answer when Alex suddenly answered her grandmother's question.

"Atasha one leg cramped so I took her home so she could be massaged properly so it won’t be painful," he said.

"All right, son, take Atasha up to her room and I'll send some ointment so you can massage her feet. I call Alia at the same time.” Her grandmother hurriedly call their help.

"All right, grandma, we're going up. “ Alex carried Atasha to her bedroom and sat her on her bed. He went to the bathroom and took a towel to wipe his feet ...

Atasha was shocked when she felt Alex's warm palm and then there’s like electricity flowing through her whole body and she felt strange.

"It's better that you take a shower first before we massage your feet .. let's wait for Alia to help you.” Alex knows that he cares for her so much and that she is the one he loves the most.

"The medicine is here Mam Shai.” said Alia.

"Just lay it here on the side table of my bed Alia. Thank you so much.” She said politely.

Alex carried Atasha again to the bathroom so she could shower and relax. After she was done changing on her pajamas in the bathroom, the she called him and he quickly went to her.

"Can I come in? Alex asked

"Yes, It's okay Lex.” Atasha replied.

Alex carried Atasha and look like they were newlyweds and the she blushed because Alia was still there when it happened.

"Thank you" .. Atasha whispered to Alex.

“You’re welcome, baby. I know Your hurt even if you say ok I can sense it. ” Alex speak sincerely with concern.

He sat Atasha down on her bed and began to gently massage the her foot.

"Will you sleep here?" Atasha asked.

"If you'll agree why not" with a mischievous smile.

"Where will you sleep?" Atasha said with a gleam in her eyes staring at Alex.

“With you, of course,” he said in a husky voice.

Atasha stand up. "I'll call Alia to get you some clothes in my brother's room and extra blankets and pillows."

Alex grabbed her shaking arm. "I was just kidding."

He turned to Alex and his face was serious .. "I'll stay with you here if you want me to babe. You know why I'm doing this right?" there was only a an inch between them to put their lips together and he was about to kiss her when the door opened and her grandmother saw that she was carrying clothes for Alex when Atasha suddenly withdrew her hand and sat on her bed.

"Son, I know you can't go home because it's raining. I already called Elisa to let her know that you staying over night here." said Doña Andrei with a smile reaching her ears.

"Thank you Mommsy" Alex replied.

“I’ll be going back to my room now. You take care of my princess Alex and when I find out that you did something silly, I will let the two of you get married right away tomorrow." Her grandmother’s face was serious but with smiling threatening on Alex.

"Yes Grandma" he replied.

Atasha's cheeks turned red from what her grandmother said and she feels different when Alex stares at her and she knows from the start he wants to make her feel comfotable with him.

He turned to the bathroom to change while Atasha is laying in her bed to relax her feet. When the bathroom door opened she saw Alex half naked and lying down. She looked at him like a greek god that fell from the sky.

“It suits you,” she said smiling at him.

"You look sleepy," Alex said and helped her sit up. She looks so fragile, in Alex’s mind.

Atasha slipped between the sheets. "Thanks."

He covered her up as she closed her eyes. “Thank you. . . . ”

Alex sat on the edge of the bed, watching Atasha sleep. “I didn’t come back so you could feel the pain I’ve cause you but it is YOU why I came and to saved your love for me. ”

Atasha sat on the bed and noticed that Alex is asleep on the sofa. She noticed that he was bare-chested. She also noticed that his arms and shoulders were well defined and his chest was broad as if it was delicious to always hug Alex and she will feel secure with him in his arms. Obviously, he worked out quite a bit. She stood up and went on the sofa where Alex laid.

At that moment, Alex stirred and rolled onto his side, facing her, and as he did, the blanket fell away revealing a very flat stomach. She reached down to touch his chest when suddenly she remembered herself and retracted her hand.

"What am I doing?" she whispered to herself and began to rise.

“Come back here,” Alex moaned, grabbing her wrist and pulling her down on top of him.

“I should go to bed.” sabi ni Atasha

“Yes, you should,” he said as he brought his mouth up to hers.

Atasha did not pull him away, and let his lips linger over hers for a long time. He savour her lips, she respond the way Alex kissed her, he hoped that she was doing the same. Her mind want her to pull off but her body ache for more.
