Chapter four

 Half way to the meal Ethan asked."has anyone seen Isabella for a long time now."?

******

 The door to a hotel room opened and a man walked in followed by a woman,the room was dark amd the man attempted to turn on the lights,but the woman blocked his part."come on Lucius,why are you ignoring me"? She askes her voice sucked up.

 The man seems to be frustrated as he replied."because you are annoying and a stalker Isabella." 

 Isabella turned red in anger."am a stalker Lucius but these pesty girl fans tat follow you around aren't considered stalkers."

 "Stop this Isabella,you are not trying to prove anything,what you want you are not gonna get,youa re too young for me." Lucius said holding unto her shoulders.

 "For Christ sake Lucius am a twenty year old woman." Isabella clarified angrily stumping her feet.

 "And am a twenty nine years old man,it's not healthy for you ,and besides your brother won't be happy if he gets to know about this." Lucius tried to explain.

 Isabella let out a small chuckle."my brother…that's it you are afraid of what Alex might do if he gets to know about us,you are scared of Alexander."

 Lucius's eyes narrowed, his grip on her shoulders tightening. "I'm not afraid of Alexander, Isabella. I just don't want to hurt him or you."

Isabella's expression turned mocking, her voice taunting. "Oh, Lucius, you're so noble. But you can't resist me, can you?"

Lucius's face twisted in frustration, his eyes flashing with anger. "Isabella, stop this. You're not going to get what you want by taunting me."

But Isabella just laughed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Oh, I think I will. You see, Lucius, I know you want me. And I'm going to make you admit it."

And with that, she reached up and pulled his head down, her lips crashing down on his in a fierce, passionate kiss. Lucius tried to resist, but his body betrayed him, his lips responding to hers with a hunger he couldn't deny.

Just as they were lost in the kiss, the hotel room door clicked shut, and they were plunged into darkness.

 Back at the restaurant, Ethan's question still lingered in the air. "Has anyone seen Isabella for a long time now?"

Alexander's expression turned guarded, his eyes avoiding Timika's gaze. "I haven't seen her in a while, Ethan. But I'm sure she's fine."

Julian raised an eyebrow. "You're not worried about her, Xander?"

Alexander's voice was firm. "No, I'm not. Isabella can take care of herself."

But Timika was worried she and Isabella had stayed for only a short period of time but she already valued her so much.

 After the dinner they all went to the restaurant driveway to pick their cars and go home,they reached the driveway as it seems Ethan and julian had arrived in one car, Alex opened the car door for Timika who stepped in.

 He turned to his friends."and thank you guys for showing up and ruining my dinner date."

 Ethan and Julian chuckled."sorry man,we just wanted to check up on you it been long."Ethan said.

 Julian sided that."Timika seems to be very nice though,it did be better if you never hurt her." The two men entered their car and left while Alex returned back to the car whete Timika was sitting and was almost dozing off.

 Alexander got into the car, his eyes softening as he saw Timika's tired expression. He reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair out of her face, his touch gentle. "Hey, sorry about tonight," he said, his voice low and soothing. "I know it wasn't the dinner date we planned."

Timika's eyes fluttered open, and she smiled, her voice husky. "It's okay, Alexander. I understand. Family is important."

Alexander nodded, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Yeah, they are. And I'm glad you're a part of mine now."

As they drove home, the silence between them was comfortable, the tension from earlier dissipating. But Timika's mind was still racing with thoughts of the meeting with the technology company tomorrow,As the car glided through the night, Timika's eyelids grew heavy, and she felt herself drifting off to sleep. She didn't know when she fell asleep, but the next moment she woke up, she was in Alexander's arms, being carried out of the elevator in their luxurious penthouse apartment.

 She wanted to walk with her feet so she tried to struggle."don't fight it,relax." Alexander said his voice calm.

 Timika also felt it was best not to fight it ,do she relaxed into his arms,taking in his looks.

 As Timika relaxed into Alexander's arms, she took in his chiseled features, his sharp jawline, and his piercing blue eyes that sparkled with kindness. His dark hair was perfectly styled, and his tall, athletic build was evident even under his tailored suit. He exuded confidence and authority, and his warm smile put her at ease. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, and his soft voice was calming, making her feel safe and protected in his arms. She noticed the small scar above his left eyebrow, which only added to his rugged charm. As she gazed up at him, she felt a sense of admiration and gratitude for this man who had swept her off her feet and into his life.

 Alexander only out her down when they got to their bedroom,he walked into bathroom for a bath while Timika went into closet to change into a pajamas and in no distance time she was in another dimension.

 Minutes passed and Alexander was finally out of the bathroom he wore only a jumper and joined Timika on the bed,he gently scoop her into his arm first breathing in the scent of her hair oil ,his fingers combed through her silky hair, he looked at her face that.

 Her face was a vision of serenity, her features delicate and refined. Her skin was a radiant porcelain, with a subtle sheen that hinted at her smooth complexion. Her eyes, a light shade of brown, were fringed with lush lashes that added to their allure. Her nose was small and slightly upturned, giving her an endearing and feminine appearance. Her lips, painted a soft pink, were full and inviting, curled into a gentle smile that suggested a deep contentment. Her hair, a rich blonde that cascaded down her back like a golden waterfall, framed her face with a soft, silky glow. As she lay in Alexander's arms, her face was relaxed, her features softened, and her expression peaceful, as if she had finally found her haven.
