Chapter 43: Turning up
Seeing she wasn't going to get anywhere with her questions, Alexandra slightly pushes him out of her path and continues walking, Nathaniel chases after her.
"Hey girl, where are you suddenly running off to?"
Hearing those words, Alexandra halts and turns to him, breathing out, trying to calm her nerves.
"I'm a woman, not a girl"
"Woman, girl, what's the difference but anyway where are you running off to when I came over to spend time with you"
"Spend time with me, you must be out of your mind"
"Hey that's harsh"
"Is it? Maybe you deserve it or worse. I don't still get why you come to this pack, where you have no business here"
"What do you mean I have no business here?" Nathaniel frowns
"Don't act like you don't know"
"I don't" He smiles
"Well I'm in no mood to enlighten you" she attempts to walk away when he grabs her handbag.
"Hey give it back"
"Not yet" Nathaniel hangs her bag across his shoulder "Now we talk"
"What do you want to talk about? There is nothing left for us to talk about Mr. Starkov so hand over my bag and I will be on my way"
"I'm sorry my lady but I can't do any of such"
Alexandra groans, running her hand through her hair. "What's your problem? I don't get what you want"
"What I want is you"
"You must be out of your mind"
"Only when it comes to you"
"What do you want Nathaniel?"
"So now we are back to Nathaniel"
"I mean… Mr. Starkov"
"I like when you say both of my names"
She rolls her eyes. "Why are you back? Why did you come here? Weren't you the one who said you regretted our agreement to get married so what in the world are you doing here?"
Glancing around, Nathaniel couldn't give her the answers she wanted to hear. Although he regretted what he had said Alexandra didn't need to know all that and he wasn't going to tell her either.
"Why did you come over? Is it boredom? Are you looking for more words to say to me? Did you come here to defend Olivia once again or maybe you came to tell me how a horrible person I am and Olivia is the best woman you've ever met"
"Don't say that"
"Then what do you want me to say? Jump up in excitement as if I have won the lottery. That's a fallacy and I don't live my life based on them. I live based on philosophy?"
"What then is your philosophy?"
"Kill or be killed"
"You don't look like that type of girl"
"I'm not a girl!" She states aloud "How many times do I have to tell you that?"
Nathaniel laughs. "Why do you hate being addressed as a girl?"
"How would you feel if I address you as a boy? Is belittling"
"Really? I don't see it like that"
"You don't see what normal people see"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"What did you say you came for again?"
"I didn't say anything but now that you mentioned it, I came to take you to my pack"
"What makes you think I will go with you anywhere"
"Who else will you go with I'm your mate"
"That you choose to regret our agreement, what more could we have to do with each other?"
"A lot. You will see"
Biting her lower lips, Alexandra frowns, pretending to be angry. "I'm not going to your pack"
"Why?" Nathaniel's eyes widened
"Because I'm angry"
"With who?"
Alexandra scoffs. "Isn't it obvious? First is you then I got attacked by Mobs and then you of all persons had to show up"
Nathaniel raises his brow, slightly confused. "So which of these made you angry"
"Are you being serious right now? Anyway, forget it, I'm not going to your pack and that's it"
"So when will you go?"
"You've got to be kidding me now. Hand over my bag and I will be on my way"
"No"
"Why? Why?"
Nathaniel chuckled. "Because I want to spend more time with you"
"I was heading to the house before those mobs came at me"
"I know"
"You saw it?"
"No I meant I guessed it but I know that deep down, you don't want to go back home"
"I don't know what you are talking about"
"Would you rather go home and sit by the window staring at the moonlight all day or would you rather spend the day with me beside your parents are not in town"
"Really? How do you know that"
"Well, I have my ways. I know you've missed me and want to spend time with me"
"Keep wishing. The only thing I have missed is absolutely nothing I was living my life until you showed up"
"Looking irresistible and not to mention, save you from those mobs"
"Should I thank you?" She states sarcastically
"Shouldn't you?"
"Not until you apologize for what you did to me then maybe I will thank you"
"Maybe?"
"Yes, I have placed it under probability and so until you then, I will decide if you deserve my thanks. It doesn't come off cheap"
Without uttering another word, Nathaniel holds her hand and drags her towards his car, he opens the door and puts her in, closing the door and jumping inside, he locks the door causing Alexandra's eyes to widen.
"Hey what are you doing?"
"Getting away"
"Getting away?"
"I want to spend the day with you"
"Hey let me out" Alexandra strives to open the door but couldn't
