Chapter 67

The day went by so fast. I got off work, shut my laptop up, and picked up my keys off the desk. With this, I walked out.
Dylan's office wasn't far from mine so he came out too. I loved that he wrapped his hands around my waist quickly, kissing my cheeks as we walked out.

I was also thankful most of the employees had gone home so they wouldn't see us acting like Romeo and Juliet. Dylan turned me around once we got to a really quiet passage; the warm light which spread across the hallway, and light out into another was the only presence.

He pulled me against the wall, kissing me roughly and pulling at my hair. He used his tongue to invade my mouth, licking every part and inch of it. I chuckled as he wouldn't let me go.

'Let's do it here," he whispered and my eyes widened at his request.

'Are you being serious?" I asked trying to be sure he wanted it.

He chuckled back.
'Yes, bend over!" he grunted and I did as he told me. I turned my arse to him waiting for him to pull my trousers but he didn't. Rather, he slapped my butt and ran away sticking his tongue out like a child and running with his back.

My cheeks flushed, I felt so embarrassed.
Dylan waited for me at the park, near my car scrolling through his phone.

' Here comes my nymphomania girlfriend." He shouted once he saw me. I laughed in annoyance.

'Really? Do you think I'm a nympho? I guess I would prove otherwise to you." I uttered and moved to the driver's side of my car.

He smiled at me probably thinking I'm not serious or didn't know what I meant. He blew kisses at me and then turned to his car.

'I will call you later." He whispered and entered his car.

I smiled at the thought of him. I drove to Brendax's house, halting my car in front of his house before walking in.

I heaved a sigh as I stopped in front of his gate. I pressed the button to alert him someone was in front of his house.

Soon, I felt the gate opening vomiting his tall stature. It was the second time I saw him in his pajamas. He looked shocked to see me, I smiled and raised a big bag of chips to him.

He smiled excitedly before coming forward and wrapping his hands around me. I paused for a second, not wanting to hug him but I did.
We went inside afterward and watched sponge bob, The Little Mermaid, and Moana.

I and Brendax ended up arguing about The little mermaid and Moana. Brendax had asked me who was the Queen of the ocean.
'I don't know, who do you think?" I questioned him back throwing a handful of chips into my mouth.

I tucked into him well, my head was placed on his lap while he sat up. We just finished watching Moana.
'Moana." He answered quickly, too quickly I was sure he didn't think about it.

'Ariel was a princess tho," I answered.

'Moana left her village to save the ocean, Ariel left the ocean for a man, for dick!" he shouted and I felt so angry for Ariel. It felt like Brendax was a father rebuking his daughter.

'Shut the fuck up!!" I laughed and he did too.

'I am more of barbie, barbie is the real Queen of the ocean. She saved the ocean." I added.

By the time I checked the time again, it was already a few minutes past Ten o'clock. I had to go home, Brendax escorted me out of his house to my car.

Before I entered my car, Brendax stopped me.
'I want to propose to Rayden tomorrow. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend. She is such a sweet soul and I can't wait to have her as my own."

I nodded my head, excitement bubbling in me just by the thought of my friend finding happiness. I trusted Brendax, he was a good guy.

'And, thank you, Alexia." He mouthed not too loud but the genuinity in his eyes was so obvious.

Glad I came, I wrapped my hands around him one more time before driving home. Getting home, I entered my room and slept off after speaking to Dylan. He kept talking about how we should move in together which I found a little absurd especially because Mom told me never to move in with a guy except I am sure he would get married to me.
Right now, I could not assure myself that, yet.

Next Morning:
9 pm

In my office, the door flung open and someone rushed in. It was Rayden and tears were in her eyes. I didn't know the reason she had tears in her eyes and her hands were shaking.

'Tell me what happened." I rushed to her, holding her trembling hands

'Brendax was arrested. A dead woman was found in his house. Alexia.." She cried.

'Dead woman? What do you mean by that?" I questioned a little taken aback. How could a dead woman be found in his room? Who was the dead woman?

'This morning, I was at his place, he told me to come very early which I did. He was about to say something to me when the door flung open and some bunch of policemen walked in. They gave Brendax a search warrant and began to search the house. Lo and behold, they found a woman's corpse in the guest room. They took Brendax this morning to their custody. Alexia, you have to help Brendax."

My heart skipped a beat by the time she was done. Corpse? Woman? Murder? Police custody? I couldn't help the fear that hunched below my skin. I knew Brendax would never kill someone talk more of hiding them in his house. He was certainly framed.

The first name that came to my mind was Kylie.
Of course, I wasn't expecting her to back down without a fight. Brendax exposed her which means she would want to get back at him. I picked up my keys quickly and walked out with Rayden.

What evidence do they have that made them think Brendax really killed the woman?! He could be framed, they would never think that, would they?
