chapter 18

Alexa

Elijah brought me to some expensive restaurant. Even though I'm pissed with him, I still eat the food that he orders for both of us. He orders me a portion of pasta and also a mushroom soup and for him, he orders lasagna. I eat it fast cause I don't want to be with him for too long. Right now, my mind just wants to get out from here and back to the hotel.

After a few minutes, we finally finished our dinner which is good. The food is so delicious and I have to come back here again but not with him. We're in the car and on our way to go back to our hotel.

Then, I look around to see its not the right way to go back to the hotel. I remembered the road and I'm so sure it's not the right way. "This is not the road to go back to the hotel. Elijah, don't do anything stupid." I said and my heart feels uneasy out of sudden. What if he planning to do something bad to me because I don't want to accept him. God, please help me.

"I'm not going to do anything bad to you. I just want to talk about us." He said and I look at him.

"We don't have anything to talk, Elijah," I said and crossing my arms to my chest. "Now, let's turn the car and go back to the hotel," I said but he doesn't follow what I said and just drive straight. "Elijah! I said let's go back!" He didn't listen to the best thing to do is I just keep quiet and look outside the window.

After a few minutes, we arrive at one of the condominiums in Italy. Elijah parks the car and gets out of it. I didn't want to get out from it until Elijah open the door for me. "Let's go." He said and I get out from the car and follow Elijah inside that condominium. I look around to see all the decorations and design are so pretty and I can see this is the expensive condo.

Elijah just leads the way until both of us are in the lift now. "Where are we, Elijah?" I ask.

"On our way to my penthouse." He said casually and that makes my eyes widen. His penthouse?

"Ho-" he cut me off.

"I have my own penthouses in more than ten countries. This is one of it." He explains and I just stay speechless. A moment later, the lift finally arrived at his penthouse.

"Come in." He grabs my wrist and brings me to the living room.

"I don't want to be here for too long. So, let's just talk about what do you want to talk." I said and take a sit on one of the couch there. He takes a seat next to me.

"Alexa, I brought you here just because I really want to be with you again. I want us to be a happy family. I already said this to you a lot of times but you just rejected it without gave me any chance." He starts.

"I told you so many times that I didn't want you in my life anymore. I already have my own life and I'm happy with it. Please don't ever try to ruin it. We can meet but for the sake of Gabriel and Gabriella only." I reply.

"I know that I'm fucked up because of what I did three years ago but why don't you give me one more chance. You never give me any of it and now please give me that chance, Alexa." I take a deep breath and look at him.

"I-I don't know. I don't want to get hurt cause I'm tired of getting hurts. What if you hurt me again." He holds my hand and caressing my cheeks.

"I won't I promise you. This time, I'll appreciate you more than before and also be a good father to our children. You just need to open your heart for me and let me in, Alexa. Just one more chance." He said and I don't know why all my hatred towards him are going out of sudden and I feel like I want to be with him back. It is the right thing to do?

NO!

NO!

NO!

I can't go back to him but then I feel something brilliant coming out of my mind. I smile evilly in my mind.

"Okay then, I'll give you one more chance to let you prove to me what you said just now b-" he cut me off.

"Really? Oh my god... Alexa thank you so much. You know how long that I wait for this time to finally come and It's today." Then he leans in and kisses me. I feel hesitate to kiss him back, to be honest, because I just want to make him fall for me to makes my plan go smooth.

Revenge. That's what I want to do. Makes him believe I want him back and leave him just like he did to me. He needs to feel what I felt back there.

Suddenly, the kiss turns out to be a very passionate kiss. We kiss for I don't know how long until he moves his lips to my jaw and my neck then go back to my lips. He's now above me while I am laying on the couch. The kiss becomes so hot and then I feel he carrying bridal style and bring me upstairs but the kiss still doesn't break. This is dangerous. SHIT!

Just then, I feel something soft behind me and I know that I'm now on the bed with Elijah above me. He starts to roam his hand all over my body and I know if I don't stop him, we will end up having sex. So, the next thing I do is that I push him and make him fall on the floor. I look at him and his face look shocked and I know he doesn't expect me to do that.

I sit up straightly and he comes on the bed and sits next to me. "I'm sorry, I want to take thing slow," I said.

"I know and I'm sorry. I just can't help myself because I miss you so much.." He said and I just nodded my head.

"You didn't let me finish my sentence back there. So, here's the thing." He looks at me. I need to tell him. "I did say that I give you a chance but not for you to get in my heart because I'm not that dumb to get hurt again. Actually, I give you a chance to be a father to Gabriel and Grabiella. That's it. So stop being so happy." I finally said and his face drops immediately.

That's only the beginning, Elijah.

"W-what? I-I don't understand." He said.

"I know you know what I meant. I'm tired. Can I sleep here tonight?" I turned to look at him and he smiles weakly to me.

"Of course, baby you can."He answers me and with that, I lay my back and turned my back to face him. I close my eyes to make myself sleep. I don't like him calling me 'baby' because I feel so gross to hear it, especially when that word comes out from his mouth.

A moment later, the feel hands wrap around my waist. "I don't think this is necessary. It's not like I want this." I open my eyes to see him.

"But-"

"Get off or I'm going back to the hotel." I said sternly and his hand move to from my waist. He makes some gap between us and I close my eyes to sleep.
