Chapter29: familiar

I wore my dress which was just above the knees and it hugged my shape tightly. I applied a little make up on my face and I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Wear this sneakers baby."Alex said and I raised my eyebrows at him. I can't wear sneakers with a dress."why? You'll be so smart baby. Try and see how smart you will be."Alex convinced. I wore them and I looked at myself at the mirror. Alex came and hugged me from behind me and then looked at the me in the mirror."you see, it looks good on you." He whispered in my ear and I shivered when his breath hit my neck. I let him hug me and I looked myself in the mirror. I was smart actually. 

"Where did you learn to dress ladies  honey." I asked him. I could feel my heart tighten when I imagined Alex dressing someone else. I looked at his eyes in the mirror waiting for his answer but he didn't answer. He just smiled but I saw something flash in his eyes but it left as soon as it came. Had he been in a relationship before? Of course he would have a girlfriend if not girlfriends. He's Alexander Scott what do I expect.

"Don't let your mind run wild baby. It's not good for you." He said and didn't hold me anymore.

"You look good too. I mean smart and handsome."I said to him to stop thinking about his exgirlfriends. He looked smart too when he had had worn his dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt that emphasized his muscles. He completed the look with white sneakers. He looked so handsome. I walked to him and I lifted my hand to ruffle his hair a little then he chuckled.

"Let's go baby. Are you done?" He asked and I nodded he wore a black leather jacket and then took my purse and he held my hand and we headed downstairs. When we reached downstairs I was shocked when I found my friends still there. I looked at Alex and he released my hand. I went to my mom and looked at her.

"What is it honey? Why are you this dressed up?" My mom asked.

"I'm sorry mom."I apologized for what I said earlier. I was rude and I hate the feeling of making my mom mad at me.

"Why are you sorry honey?"my mom looked at me as well as my friends confused. I looked at Alex who had come to stand behind the couch. He nodded and I smiled.

"I'm sorry for being rude earlier. And you too Shawn and Andy, I'm sorry for not saying anything. I understand if you want to give me the silent treatment. When you are ready to talk I'll be here." I said looking at Andy and Shawn who were looking at me like they didn't know who I was. I just smiled at them faintly.

"Mom, is it okay if I take Kimberly out?"Alex asked my mom and I was shocked at how polite he was. Mom looked at him proudly then she stood and walked up to him. He held his cheek with a fond smile and Alex smiled at her too. I smiled at them and I wondered what my mom would say.

"Of course you can. But I want you guys back by midnight."my mom said.

"Okay."Alex said the same time I said"no." My mom looked at me.

"You have an objection honey?"my mom asked.

"Mom you don't have to give curfew time to us. We'll be fine." My mom looked at me and then smiled at me before looking at Alex.

"Okay Alex, you can come back any time you want."she said.

"Just don't make her drink too much. She's a light drinker." Andy said smiling and I looked at her. Maybe she has come around.

"Aren't you going to kareoke anymore?"I asked her and she just shook her head.

"It won't be the same if you are not there."she said smiling and I felt bad for ruining their night. I looked at Alex who was looking at me all that time. He smiled then looked at Andy.

"I'm Alex."he introduced himself to Andy. He extended his hands and he shook his hands with Andy."I'm sorry for the late introduction."

"I'm Andy and I'm so honoured to meet you Mr. Alex. I'm also sorry for being rude earlier I was just mad at my friend here. Don't take it to heart."

"No problem Andy. Actually I was wondering if you two can join us too." Alex said and I glared at him. For fucks sake this is our first date.

"No sir, since you are going on a date it's fine but thanks." She politely rejected and I was so happy.

"Actually Andy, we should go. I can't stay here and since Mr. Alex is too kind we should not turn him down." Shawn said and I didn't understand if he was being sarcastic or not. He was looking at Alex grinning at him. I'm really so mad at Shawn right now. He had to be a dick.

"Okay then. Then we will join you guys." Andy said and I just smiled helplessly.

"Then it's fine." Alex said and he smiled at me. Shawn and Andy got up ready to leave and Alex came to hold my hand.

"Be careful guys."mom said from behind us and we all smiled at her then we left the house. 

"So you're driving right?"Shawn asked Alex,"and where are you taking us? I won't be surprised if you take us to strip club. Please don't take us there, my Kim can't take it."he added grinning at Alex who tightened his hold on my hand. He's beyond angry and Shawn is just provoking him. I'm about to talk but Alex beat me to it.

"Do you perhaps have a problem with me?"Alex asked putting on a smile that I know is fake. He want to punch Shawn right now and I'm very grateful he's controlling himself so good.

"What do you think? Now open this damn car of yours and lets go. Bills on you."he said and I smile apologetically at Alex who returns my smile as if to say its fine. I can't believe that Shawn is giving Alex so damn hard time. We get in his car and we drove off. Alex kept holding my hand that was on my lap the whole driving until we stopped at this big bar. My friends and I had never been here because the drinks here can't be afforded by commoners like us. We got in and Alex had not spoken a word since his confrontation with Shawn. He led us to this private room where there were two men and told me he would be back. We entered and the men looked at us like we had lost our away. I wondered if Alex had dropped us in the wrong room when the men gave us that look.

"Heey guys I think you are in the wrong place." Shawn shamelessly said and I gave him a look asking him if he's sure. One of the men with blond hair laughed and he looked at us.

"You guys are funny. Anyway, if you have finished looking at us you can close the door when you leave."he said then he lit up a cigarette and started smoking. Where the hell is Alex.

"Kim? Kimberly right?" The othe man called and I looked at him. Now that I focused on him he look familiar. Maybe one of my patients when I was working in San international hospital.

"You look familiar." I subconsciously said then I looked at him to see him stand and walking to us. 

"Of course I am, you remember Mr. Andrew right? Andrew Einstein."he said and I thought for a while before my eyes went wide.

"Oh my God!! It's you. How are you. Wait, you have changed alot in one year. When you were coming for sessions you were much worse. Ooh ... Forgive me for talking too much I'm too excited when I see you all changed now." I said smiling.

"No problem, why don't you and your friends join us. Come sit with me. I'll tell you everything that have changed. You'll like how I've been good so much." He said holding my hand and I sat next to him.

"Baby."the voice came and I looked at him.
