Chapter 8

Vicki called to cancel, so our plan fell through. Apparently, something came up with her secret boyfriend whom she refused to tell me about and I didn't have time to question her about it. So we decided to catch up another time. Since I was essentially jobless, I spent my time going around Facebook and Instagram, watching amusing Instagram videos to pass the time, but I ended up dozing off in the process. The soft knocking on the door jolted me out of my sleep. "Roy, may I enter?" From the other side of the door, Alexander's voice could be heard. " Come in," I said, sitting up on my bed and the door opened with Alexander walking in. "Hey, little man." "Hi Roy," he said, climbing onto the bed to sit beside me. " How was school today?" "It was fine, we had outdoor activities today, so we went to the park," he said excitedly. " Really, did you enjoy yourself?" I said in a cheerful voice and he nods. " I had a lot of fun. I love school. " " I also did like going to school but I doubt not as much as you do." I joked, bopping his nose and he laughs. " So, what's your favourite subject?" "Arts" A soft smile touched my lips. Art had also been one of my favourite subjects. It's been so long since I last drew. My smile widens. "I'm really happy to hear that. It's also one of my favourite subjects too." "Really? " he asks excitedly, and I nod in response. " Maybe one of these days we could draw together and you can show me all your drawings." I beamed at him. "I would love that." he answered, excitement clear on his face, which was accomplished by a bright smile that reached his eyes. " Have you eaten love?" "No, Carolyn went to get groceries," he answered softly. "Okay, come on, love, let's go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." I took his hand, and we climbed down from the bed and out the door on our way down to the kitchen. On getting there, I ransacked the kitchen and saw some left over spaghetti and chicken from yesterday. Deciding to heat it up and both Alexander and I to eat since I was also kind of hungry . We ate as Alexander tells me more about his other school activities of the day, which really shows how much he loves going to school. " Can we watch a movie at the theatre room?" Alexander asked eagerly. " Sure, lead the way, "I replied, smiling at him, making him smile back at me, showing off his dimples that he definitely inherited from his dad. Oh! My love for dimples We went back upstairs to a direction opposite from that of my room, and Alexander opened a door. I was amazed by how big and spacious the theatre room was. It was truly beautiful. We decided to settle on one of the couches as Alexander smuggled close to me. I took the TV remote in front of me, turning it on to Netflix, asking Alexander what he wanted to watch. He couldn't make a choice and, after a little bit of debate, we settled for the cartoon, the Mitchell's and the machine. I cuddled him closer to me. I brought out a huge blanket that I saw kept on the next chair beside me. I put the huge fluffy blanket over the two of us as we watched the movie and didn't realize when i drifted off to sleep again. ☆☆☆ Giovanni's POV It was quite late when I got home . The meeting I had today lasted quite a while because we had to find an interpreter for a Chinese business partner who couldn't speak English. I walked into the living room to find it dark. "They are probably asleep," I thought to myself, going up the stairs to check on Alexander in his room, but his bed was empty with no sight of him. Panicking , I rushed over to Royalty's room only to find it empty as while. My heartbeat escalated and I brought out my phone ready to call Carolyn when I heard a noise coming from the theatre room. Taking big strides into the room and saw Royalty and Alexander cuddled up together, fast asleep. The view brought a smiled to my face and I watched them for some time before walking over to the couch, slouching down a little to my knees, taking in the sight of the beautiful woman In front of me. She looked so cute with her long red hair and her plumb lips that I so badly wanted to kiss right now. I removed her hair from her face and kissed her forehead before getting up and turning off the TV then proceed to picking up Alexander, making him wrap his hands around my neck. I walked out of the theatre room to his room and laid him down gently on the bed, tucking his blanket on him and placing a kiss on his forehead. I made my way downstairs and to the kitchen for some water before returning back to the theatre room, glancing down at Royalty, who appeared more uneasy with the way she was sleeping, so I gently picked her up and instead of walking to the direction of her room, i walked to mine. All I could think while making my way to my room was what her reaction was going to be when she wakes up tomorrow, which made me chuckle softly so as not to wake her up. I gently placed her on the bed, covered her petite frame with a comforter, and gave her a soft kiss. Then made my way to the bathroom to freshen up, walking back in with only a pant on. I made my way to the other side of the bed, getting under the covers when I felt her body smuggle close to mine and I stiffened. Then slowly begin to relax, I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer. Her head resting on my shoulder and her scent engulfs me as I close my eyes. ☆☆☆ Something heavy was constricting me causing me to opened my eyes and was welcomed with the beautiful features of Giovanni's face close to mine. When I looked down, I noticed that his hand was on my waist, my mine on his too., his foot crossed over mine and his front touched mine. His body was so close to mine that there was no room between us and my cheek started to warm up at this. Then as fast as this giddy feelings hit me, it was gone. Wait a freaking minute! Why was i here.? Alexander and I were both sleep off on the couch in the cinema room, so how did I get here. I couldn't have possibly sleep walk to his room, because that would be so embarrassing. My breath hitched and I was snapped out if my thoughts when I felt Giovanni's hand start to move around my body. my eyes widen and I turn to peek at him and discover that he is still asleep. His hand was perilously close to mine tilt, then he did it, cupping my breast and began caressing it. I bit my lower lip and groaned. It didn't help that I wasn't wearing any bra. I kept an eye on his other hand descend to the tip of my shirt, pulling it up my thigh and his hand moved dangerously close to my moist heat. I squeaked, making him open his eyes. I closed my legs tightly and he looked at me with one of his eyebrows cocked up, then looked at where his hands were and his eyes widened, but he didn't move them. I blushed, pushing his hands away, getting up from the bed putting a distance between the two of us. " What am I doing in your room, Giovanni?" I asked, upset. " I brought you here," he answered with a smirk on his face. "I know, but why am I here?. My room is just three doors away from yours. You could have kindly dropped me there. " I groaned lightly, "because..." He mutters, getting up from the bed. " I didn't want to and besides, my room was closer." He smirks "It's not like you were complaining. I'm sure you loved cuddling me since you were the first to smuggle close to me." I groaned lightly, "you know what, I can't do this right now. I'm out of here. " i walking out, making sure to bang the door on because I was being petty and aroused.
