Chapter39: lonely bitch

"I heard you were leaving for Hong Kong."she said calmly.

"Yeah, so?"Alex asked his tone expressionless and cold.

"Ooh nothing, I just wanted to know and be sure."she said.

"You're a freak. Did you call just to say that. I need to go to bed. Let this be our last call or talks okay?"he told her but more like warn her."or else I'll think you want me."he added just to annoy her.

"Damn, eeeeeww!! Fuck I'm hunging up on now."she said and then she hung up. Alex went back to bed and spooned Kimberly who was fast asleep. He kissed her neck then put his head there and slept breathing in her scent. He originally wanted to watch her the whole night but her scent was his sleeping pill and he couldn't help it. He wondered how he's gonna be sleeping without her but what to do.

He woke early the next day and went to make breakfast for Kimberly and after he was done he went to freshened up and wore his clothes that Kimberly had prepared yesterday night putting a sticky note saying wear this. He smiled seeing how neatly they had been arranged. His girlfriend was a clean freak he could not blame her. She was probably the most organised person and the cleanest person he had ever seen. She can go to work and still manage to keep the penthouse spotless clean without any need of a helper. He couldn't be more grateful to the universe. It granted him such a great woman and he couldn't ask for more.

Alex got out of the closet to the bedroom to see Kimberly still asleep and he decided not to wake her up. He walked up to her and kissed her forehead but looking at her lips he bent further and tasted them for a while. He went to his study and took the necessary documents and left calling his assistant to have everything ready. He drove himself to the airport where his private jet was located and left.

********************************************************

I woke up only to find myself alone in the bed. I saw creases to the side where Alex slept but the place was cold meaning he left some time ago. I sighed disappointed because he didn't wake me up. At least I would have sent him to the airport or something like that. I took my phone and called him but his phone didn't really connect. I cursed when I remembered he's probably on the plane. I stretched my arms and I looked around the room. It felt lonely or maybe it's because I'm used to waking up in his arms. I went to freshen up because I needed to go to work.

After I was done freshening up I went to the kitchen to have some breakfast before I leave. I'm used to having coffee in the morning so I immediately went to the coffee machine to pour myself some in my cup. Then I saw the note with Alex's not so neat handwriting but if it's a man's handwriting then I can't probably complain. It's better than most men's handwriting that I have seen so far.

"Morning baby, I'm sorry I didn't wake you up I just didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep. I'm leaving but I'll call you as soon as I reach. I made you some breakfast, you don't need coffee. It's in the fridge so just warm it okay. I knew you would come for the coffee machine that's why I placed the note here so you won't miss reading it. I'm gonna miss you so much baby. I love you.❤️

Your husband Alex."

I read the note about four times because I just wanted to imagine his voice reading me the note in my head. I was smiling all the way reading it. I put the note in my bag and went to the fridge to look at what he cooked and I wasn't surprised. He cooks so well and he cooked my best meal. I couldn't be more happy than this. He's such a gentleman sometimes such that I can't help rather than feel my heart filled with a lot of warmth. I ate my breakfast and went to work.

The day passed without Alex calling me and I felt like I could go crazy. On my way to the penthouse I called him and he didn't pick up and I got so frustrated. He must have reached China and he didn't even call. I reached at the house frowning and bored. The house was so quiet and it was annoying. I wish I would have invited my secretary to come join me. Then I remembered my old car. I will tell Alex to give her the car since he refused to give it back to me. I decided to do some cleaning to occupy myself from the thoughts that Alex hadn't called me.

Everything was clean by the time the arm clock hit 7 o'clock. I made myself a simple dinner and went to drown my sorrows at the sitting room watching some stupid Netflix series. I guess it went by the name controlz or something I wasn't really following up so I decided to repeat watching some episodes of vampire diaries. I don't think this series will ever grow old fashioned. I was watching how Stefan and Elena were playing lovey-dovey Infront of Damon when I heard a ding on my phone and a ring on the doorbell.

I almost laughed when I got confused about what to attend to first. Obviously the person at the door can't be Alex but whoever sent the message can be Alex so I tapped in the WhatsApp messenger only to see it's my silly friends talking in our group chat. I cursed and went to look at the door and find out who the hell is ringing on the door at this hour. I pipped at the door hole to see Melissa. How the hell is she here right now? I opened the door and I smiled at her.

"Heey Meli?" I greeted smiling at her and she hugged me.

"What's up girl. Damn I smell loneliness in here."she made a joke and I laughed. It's good to have some company especially Alex's sister.

"What are you doing here so late?"I asked her.

"Now you don't want me when I literally came to keep you company?"she asked me and I felt embarrassed. I didn't mean that but it may have sounded like that.

"No I didn't mean it like that."I gave an explanation so that she won't misunderstand me.

"I know. Don't get too worked up. Aren't you gonna invite me in or what?"she asked and I smiled opening the door wide open for her to get in." My brother is such an asshole. Can you imagine I told him to rent me this penthouse but he refused then I was shocked when I saw you guys living here. He's not into apartments and condos or penthouses so I was surprised when he's living here without much complaints. He's more of a mansion type of a guy "Melissa said as she went to the sitting room and I was shocked to hear what she said. Why would Alex not say anything about this. I wondered

"What the hell is this that you are watching?"she asked me looking at me like I have two more heads.

"Ummm. Vampire diaries."I replied smiling.

"Hell, I know it's vampire diaries but isn't it too old. I probably grew up watching it."she said.

"I didn't grow up watching it but I have watched it a few times. I just think it never gets old. I love it."I explained and she shrugged.

"My brother thinks you are a kid that needs to be watched. He sent me here to accompany you and watch over you."she said and I smiled at her,"since I see you are fine, I'm gonna go to the study. I have some work to finish. Goodnight I guess."she said walking to the stairs. I didn't even get to say goodnight to her because by the time I recovered from my shock she was already gone. I thought she had come to accompany me, what just happened? Great, now I'm alone again. Why does she think I'm fine? I'm a lonely bitch who can't help wonder why her boyfriend haven't called. I groaned frustratedly and switched off the TV and carried my phone and myself upstairs to sleep.
