Chapter81: punishment

Alex and I reached home and I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. Today has been the longest day I've ever had in years. After I got out of the bathroom and I wore my nightwears, I went to the bedroom to find Alex sitted on the bed. I was planning on ignoring him tonight so I passed him without looking at him and I got out of the bedroom. I know the closet looks disorganized after Alex disorganized it in the morning in his anger phase, but I'm not gonna arrange it now.

I got in one of the bedrooms in the penthouse and locked my door. I know this is not fair to Alex but this is the best punishment for him. He doesn't get to shout at me and he go scot-free. I'm the boss in this situation and I will punish him accordingly so that the next time he thinks of shouting at me he'll think of this day and this punishment.

I heard him turn the door knob but it was locked. He can't get in and I waited for him to start knocking and he didn't disappoint me.

"Baby, what are you doing? Open the door for me."he said knocking on the door. I laughed and I got in the covers." Baby, I thought we are good? Please don't do this open the door."he said but I said nothing. He knocked once then he stopped. I heard his steps leaving and I felt disappointed. I thought he was gonna try some more.

Nevertheless, I didn't care. I had to give him the punishment. I brought the pillows and used them to hug them. I know finding sleep without Alex in bed is hard but it's just for today. I have to be firm in my decision.

I brought the covers above my head and tried to sleep. I can't sleep and I groaned when I didn't get any sleep. The only thing I could see was Alex's handsome face and wondering if he was asleep. He says he can't find sleep without me so let's see. 

After a while, I heard the door being opened and I jerked out of the covers immideately to be welcomed by Alex's handsome face.

"Alex, what are you doing?"I asked him getting out of the bed. I thought he left and the door was locked.

"Why are you locking yourself in the room?" He asked.

"How did you open the door?"I asked back instead. He lifted his hands and wiggled the keys. I cursed loudly not caring he was here. I really forgot about the spare keys. Damnit. I couldn't help but curse again.

"I want to sleep Alex."I said going back to bed.

"That is not a problem at all...."

"I forgot to say alone. I want to sleep alone please."I said getting in the bed.

"What? Baby you can't do this to me. You know I can't...."

"Ooh I know. Now get out and leave the keys here. I'm tired and I want to sleep."I said and covered myself and closed my eyes pretending to be asleep.

"Baby please..."he begged but today I'm so serious about my decision so I didn't say anything. If he listens he would get out."I said I'm sorry okay. What do you want me to do?"he asked and I wanted to chuckle but I didn't.

"I want you out of the room. Now."I said still my eyes closed.

"Okay but can you first don't sleep without eating something. You didn't eat much at lunch and you haven't eaten anything now please wake up. I'll go after you eat."he said more like beg. I didn't notice he noticed the amount of food I ate at lunch. How could he not when he was watching me like a hawk.

"I'm not hungry."I replied but the next thing I knew is that Alex was standing next to me at the bed. He lifted the covers and I flinched because of the lack of warmth. I opened my eyes and glared at him."I said I'm not hungry."I reminded him.

"Yeah and horses can fly. You are eating something boss."he said lifting me up and carried me like a child but then my stomach made the annoying grumbling sound making it known it wants food. Alex laughed as he walked down the stairs and I hid my face in his neck because of the embarassment. This stomach is naughty.

He sat me on the kitchen counter and left to the fridge and took the boxes I saw at the backseat of his car. Is that food he bought."I didn't buy the food in your favourite restaurant because it was far and I almost got lost driving from your mom's house so I bought the food from the first restaurant I saw. I don't know about it's taste but I hope this will do for now. It had your best food though, it will do at least right?"he asked warming it in the microwave but I just smiled. I can't imagine he made all that effort.

He started giving me food as if I'm a child. I protested saying I'm not a kid but he wouldn't listen. He was back to the Alex I knew who don't listen to me. I ate anyways because he wouldn't listen to me.

After I ate, I told Alex to eat too. I know he hasn't eaten anything of importance if not anything at all. The food is delicious but not as delicious as his food or from the restaurant I love but it's better than nothing.

I went back to the room and told Alex to stay out. I was adamant on punishing him. I know why I'm doing this. Most people say that people don't change and maybe, just maybe this punishment Will help a little. I know he can't sleep but it's only for today. I had to comfort myself because I'm doing something unfair.

I didn't know the time I slept but when I woke up it was already in the morning. I could see the light outside the penthouse windows. I got up and went out of the room. I need to prepare and go for work. I went to Alex's room but the room was empty. I mean Alex was not in there. The bed looked as if it had not been slept at for a whole night. Where did he sleep? I didn't think much about it and I went to the bathroom and after I was done I went to the closet and I was surprised. Everything was in order just the way I like it.
