Glancing around the woods, the familiar breeze sinks through her skin as the leaves perfectly brush against each other. Alexandra leans against a giant oak tree as her feet shuffle against fallen dry leaves. Adam who has been sitting next to her on the fallen dry pine tree lying on the ground.
"Everything here looks the same" She throws a glance at Adam remembering how she used to love coming to these woods to read whenever she couldn't bear to stay at home anymore.
"When was the last time you were here?"
"It has been a while"
"I could imagine since I often see you running into the other woods"
"Tourists come there a lot, is a good spot and is at the center of the city"
"Yea but I prefer here since is quiet especially as you are next to me"
Pretending to be shy, she tucks the hair behind her ear.
"What is it you already planned for me?"
Adam shoots a mischievous smile. "First you have to tell me what you wanted to tell me earlier"
Alexandra pretends to be frowning. "Not until you tell me what you planned, you said is a surprise I don't see anything" she glances around trying to find something she isn't sure of.
"The breeze"
"What do you mean" she raises her brow confused
"You always love the breeze here so I wanted to give it to you in the past but didn't know how to. I just thought you will love it here and besides with everything going on you needed to get out"
"Thank you" she whispers, moved deeply
"You don't have to mention" he slightly pinches her nose. "Now tell me what you wanted to say to me"
"I want to be with you too Adam"
"You already said that, come on tell me"
"Wait you don't understand"
"Tell me then"
"I don't want Nathaniel, I want to run away from the wedding. I don't want it, Adam"
"I knew something was always wrong, go ahead and tell me everything"
By this time Nathaniel who was been lured by Olivia and Adam was just behind the tree, as he attempts to take a step closer to them, he halts, hearing Alexandra's voice.
"You gave up your position for me and want to be together with me so I'm ready to run away from this marriage for you, you mean a lot to me and I want to also be by your side" Alexandra states firmly.
Deep down she knew she was playing the game he had started but what she didn't realize was that in this game he was the game master who intended to be one step ahead of her. Calling the shots while trying to use her moves against her, it was her specialty and Olivia had learned how her mind works while living together with her, Alexandra just didn't realize it.
"Has that man hurt you? Did he do anything to you?"
"No but is you I want, you I want to be with and not him. I want you to be right next to me. Let's be together"
"Of course, we will be together, we will go anywhere, we can even move to the moon if that's what you want" He holds her hand and she smiles, her eyes softening.
"As long as we are together"
"As long as we are together Alexandra because we will always be together"
"Promise me"
"I promise you" He states with sincerity but Alexandra didn't any word he said for she already knew Adam Hawthorn was a two-faced snake who had a uniqueness for being fake.
Leaning closer to her, he whispers in her ear. "Wait here I will be back"
