CHAPTER 5

Edward stares at me intensely....so i look down on the floor...

"Sweets....look at me..."he says lifting my chin Up with his fingers.

As we eye contact, Edward comes more close to me,.,.like as if he was gonna kiss me......

Realisation hits me,.... he is really going to kiss me!!!

GOD!!! HOW CAN I FORGET!!! He mentioned that we would have our wedding night today instead of yesterday..... I totally forgot about it....

GOD SAVE ME!!!

Our faces are just inches away.... My heart beat increases in a sharp rate....

If i act harsh on him....I maybe sentenced to death.....what should I DO? Push him? Wat exactly should I do?....

He stops his actions and asks "Are you willing to do it...? I don't want to force you to do it....I respect your Decision....I don't want anyone to do it without thier full will in it.....Can I do it with you...?"

"I..I...I'm....I'm.not.ready...." I say looking at the floor....unable to look at his face.....

"Okay...I will leave for my room then....." Edward says and goes out....

I feel at peace since he won't force me.....

I guess He is a good man.....if it were other men like MATHEW, they would have forced.....me.....

ALEXA'S PAST.

With a huge bang on the door I wake up.

I find Ken on the floor..... .and he reeks of alcohol!!!

why did he drink so much?

I try waking him up but he does not get up......I don't want mom finding him in this state...so i pull him to his room which is opposite to mine.....he's too heavy.....its so hard 2 pull him.....

As I reach his room I open and pull him inside..... I decide to leave him on the leave him on the floor itself coz he's so heavy....

I look down as I feel something catch my leg.....

"Don't leave me all by myself....."ken says rubbing his forehead...

I sit down beside him...

Within seconds I'm pinned down on the floor by him......his lips crash on mine,....I try pushing and kicking him,,,.but nothing seems to work.....

I can't think of anything to do.....so i pushed him with all the force I could muster up....

As he is down on the floor unconscious I take the opportunity to head to my room. I lock the door so Ken cannot enter...,.

How could he kiss me? He is my uncle......did he think of me as somebody else.....?

I drift off to sleep as these thoughts goes on and on.....

I hear a knock on the door early in the morning. I open the door rubbing my eye. I find my mom standing there.

"Honey I'm going for a urgent meeting. I won't be back for 2 days. Ken will stay with you. If you need anything ask him. Bye " she says in a hurry and goes downstairs before I could open my mouth.

STAY WITH KEN? ALONE? If she said atleast a day back I would

Have not thought of this any bad.....but How can I be with him after what happened yesterday? Anyway I should get out before he wakes up......so I take shower quickly as possible.

After shower I go downstairs so I can have breakfast and quickly leave. I haven't decided what to do yet but I have to leave........I don't want to face him. At least not yet.

As I enter the kitchen I notice ken making breakfast. I turn to go back to my room but he noticed me and called out

"Come here "

I go to him though I'm not willing to go.

"Breakfast ready. Going anywhere?" He asks.

He acts like nothing happened last night!!! Is he acting? Or did he forget due to the effect of alcohol? I don't know!!!

" don't know,have to ask Mathew if he is free..."I reply noticing the change in his face.

At times like this I wish I had friends to hang out with.

"Here" he hands over a sandwich.

I eat it quietly and quickly as possible.

I want to know if he really does not remember...This is driving me crazy!!!

Not able to control myself I ask "Dont you have anything to say about yesterday?"

"No,why?he replies.

"You were drunk last night.--"before I can finish he said "So what?"in a harsh tone.

DOES HE NOT REMEMBER???

"Nothing, I just asked..." I say not knowing how to answer. He does not ask anything else which I'm happy about.

I put my plate in the sink and head to my room. I call Mathew to find if he's free.

"Come out " Mathew told me before I can speak. I go out. I find Mathew leaning on a motor bike.

He smiles at me as I reach him.

"Where do you want to go?" He asks me as I sit behind him.

"Anywhere you take me."I reply. He doesn't say anything, he just takes off.

Mathew does not talk to me during the entire ride.....

We soon reach a white farm house. It was elegant. I wonder why he took me here.

"This is were I lived in my childhood."says Mathew opening the door.

"It's beautiful" I say looking around.

Mathew takes me around the house . It had white tiles all over the house except for the living room which had black tiles forming a pattern. I couldn't make out the pattern but It was pretty

Mathew tells me his childhood stories and some experiences. Sometimes I could sense pain in his eye which disappeared within seconds. I act like I didn't notice it since I didn't want him to be worried.

We both sit on the couch.

" Are you hungry? He asks me. "No" I reply.

"Then that's good let's go back."he says but his hands reach my wrist.This action of his does not link his words. I stare at him not knowing what to do.

"You look too pretty for me to let you go " he says as he cups my face in his hands. He looks into my eye . Feeling uncomfortable I look down.

"Look at me" he says with his eye fixed on mine.

I look at him full of nervousness. He bends towards me standing up from the couch. His hands still gripping my face. He place his left knee on the couch beside me. With his other leg he balances himself.

His lips pressed on mine. His lips was soft and his kiss was gentle. His tongue opened into my mouth pushing me more into the couch. It pulled me deep into the kiss.

For some reason, I dint want it to get over!!!.

He pulled himself away from me and said "sorry I couldn't control myself".

I have no idea how to respond so I nodded. I don't think there is any need for him to apologise because I wanted more of it.

After few minutes of this romantic kiss the thought of yesterday flashed on my mind. I have no idea why this out of all came to me after such a pleasant movement.

I'm pulled from my thoughts as Mathew asks me"Anything wrong?"seeing the change in my face.

"No...no." I answer and see him. Seeing his face again the thought of last night flew away. It also reminded me that we kissed just minutes ago. I blush at the thought of it.

"Let's go" he says and I nod.

We head to my house with the same bike we came here with. We had ice cream on our way back to make sure we din't feel hungry.
