Chapter26:secret

I waited for Alex to come pick me up for half an hour. I told my secretary to go ahead as Alex will pick me up. After sulking for a while I saw a black Bentley drive in and Alex got out. He came toward me grinning from ear to ear as if he was not late at all. I scrowled at him and I just averted my gaze from his figure.

"Heey baby."he said,"I'm sorry I'm late okay. Now get in." He added when he got closer. I ignored him and didn't even look at him. He came to stand where I was and looked at me with an intense gaze. "It's just that a meeting went overtime. Please baby."he pleaded but I still ignored him. Well I was just pushing his buttons to see what he would do so I continued to be stubborn.

He chuckled and then held my wrist and walked me to the car. He opened the door and expectedly waited for me to get in."don't be stubborn baby. I don't have much patient okay. Please don't push me." He said looking at me annoyed.

"Who's stubborn? Me or you. Earlier I told you I have a car but you just ignored me and dragged me to your car and now you're late to pick me up. I could be home by now. Do you know what day today is?"I said angrily with a straight face.

"What day is today?"he asked innocently.

"It's fucking Friday and one more delay will lead us getting stuck in traffic forever." I said stomping my foot angrily.

"Calm down okay. I've already apologized what more do you want from me?" He asked and I sighed. If I continued to act stubborn this guy will make me feel worse. Doesn't he know how to act sweetly to someone. I got in the car because either way I would still loose. This psycho don't know how to be sweet or coax a person. Alex smiled radiantly and went around the car then got in and we drove off.

Just as I had predicted, we caught up to traffic and I glared at Alex who was holding the steering wheel annoyed. The traffic was not moving and I guess that annoyed Alex. Serves him right. He ignored my annoyed and angry glances I gave him. I took out my phone and sent a text to Andy asking if today she would be free for a kareoke because she's the only one amongst us who is mostly busy. Shawn will always be free on a Friday night so that's a guarantee. I really wanted to go for kareoke today maybe Shawn would stop being angry with me and I know I'm yet to face Andy who'll obviously kick my ass but what to do.

I sighed when the man next to me continued to ignore me. I really didn't know what has got him angry. He was smiling a while ago and now he's not even looking at me. I then looked at my phone and Andy hadn't replied. I remember I had called her earlier this week but she didn't pick up. Is she ignoring me? Why is everyone ignoring me? I sat there bored then I closed my eyes for a bit and I didn't know when I slept soundly.

I opened my eyes and I was in Alex's arms and I realized he was carrying me. I looked around and saw we had arrived at my place.

"Why are you carrying me. Put me down."I said to Alex wiggling my body so he can put me down.

"You were sleeping. Idiot. What did you want me to do huuh? Now be a good girl and stay still." He chuckled tightening his grip on me.

"I don't have time for this. Alex put me down. My mom is in the house I can't let her see this. I have my damn fucking legs that can help me walk steadily."I said looking around in case someone is watching.

"Is there something wrong carrying my own girlfriend?"he asked smiling down at me.

"No but not when my mom is here okay honey?" I tried to convince him. He sighed then he put me down gently and I sighed a relief. I picked my bag from him and he opened the door for me then he got in after me.

Shock was written all over me. In the sitting room there was Andy and Shawn and my mom. They were watching my mom's stupid show. I was beyond mad right now. I had texted Andy and I thought she was busy when she didn't reply but now she's here watching and laughing at my mom's stupid jokes.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked me probably because he saw how angry I had gotten. I was red mad. I ignored him and walked straight to the sitting room. I stood in front of the three people hands at my hips.

"Aaaa!!! Kim move away from the TV screen can't you see we are watching?" The big mouth Shawn said with an annoyed and angry look. Oooh he can't be angry more than I am right now. Seriously, he didn't notice how angry I was.

"Why have you been ignoring my calls and texts Andy?" I asked Andy loudly and my mom and Alex who was still rooted at the door looked at me bewildered. I didn't give notice to Shawn's reaction. Andy gave me a lazy look and that annoyed me more.,"I'm talking to you Andy. Answer me damnit." I shouted.

"No cursing in the house honey." My mom scolded softly and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Like we don't curse and technically this is my house so I can curse however I want."I said then I heard soft footsteps coming towards me. I glared at Alex not to say anything but he won't listen to me.

"Baby come down okay. Can we go upstairs to calm down a little."he said to calm me but I'm not having any of it. Even though I could see how Shawn glared at Alex I was not planning on scolding them. My aim now was Andy so I shot the gaze at her as if to intimidate her. 

She laughed lazily"you got a boyfriend behind my back and you still expect me to answer your question. Are you dumb Kim?" She said and Alex frowned at her. Only him is supposed to scold her not these outsiders." Shawn you knew about this too?" She looked at Shawn unbelievably.

"I just found out today, don't give me that look. I didn't want to tell you when you came because I wanted to watch this show in front of me now."Shawn chuckled then glanced at Alex with a sneer. Alex didn't react and he just had this cold look.

"Really? Wow now some people have been busy lately. Since we are not needed, Shawn can we go to kareoke tonight? Just the two of us." Andy said looking at Shawn.

"Sure. Why not. Antie I'm sorry we will be out tonight." Shawn said apologetically to my mom who had been watching in the sidelines just with an expressionless face. Well everyone is giving a cold face to me today. I smiled bitterly because my friends have the right to treat me like this. I have kept secrets from them. Alex came and held my hand and led me upstairs.
