🌹CHAPTER THIRTY - FIVE🌹

"Lena... you're... suffocating... me" I manage to say to her as she holds me in a tight grip, her arms are so strong, I had no idea that my own best friend was this strong. I have a hard time breathing, but even after my warning, she still doesn't let go of me and I feel like I'm going to faint any second now.

Pulling me inside her apartment, she closes the door and forces me to sit down by her kitchen table, then she finally lets go of me and I can finally breathe. It feels so much good to be able to breathe, and when your body isn't being squeezed so much and it does hurt.

My rips are aching from how tight her grip was. She sits on the other side and she has this look that I can't tell what is, but I can tell that she's not happy, but she's not angry. I have no idea why she's giving me that look, but I get this feeling that I don't want to know.

"You're going to tell me everything, and when I say everything, I mean every single detail of everything that you did" She orders me, the tone in her voice is one that tells me that I better do as she says or else and I don't really want to figure out what that else is.

"All right, all right. I'll tell you everything" I say to her, knowing that this will take a long time and if I skip even the smallest detail she will interrupt me and asks questions that I need to answer and then continue with the story, this will be hard.

She has her arms crossed over her chest and that always mean serious business, is it a bad thing that I don't want to tell her because of this very reason, she takes this far too seriously and it's not fun to tell her anything when she's like this. "Good, now you may begin" She tells me and then she looks at me, waiting for me to start telling the story.

I open my mouth to begin. "When I came to work few days ago, I was happy, because of my date with Alexander and I-" I start but she interrupts me. Are you kissing, I didn't even get to finish one sentence before she interrupted me. "On first names bases, are we?" She asks with a smirk, and I nod before I continue telling her the story of how everything happened.

.•🌹•..•🌹•..•🌹•.

I spent the whole day telling her the story of just few days, it's strange how that took so long. But, she kept asking question and interrupting me while I was telling her, she also wrote a few things down on a notepad, I don't know why, but then again, when she gets like this, it's best to not question it.

After dinner, we just watch something on Netflix and I do sleep over at her apartment, she practically forced me, but I did set up alarm at six so that I could go to my apartment and get ready for work since we will be going to work tomorrow.

While lying down in the bed, I keep thinking of everything that I did tell her, the things that have been happening to me are all unplanned and so unpredictable. Nothing could have prepared me for any of this, I never wanted any of this to happen.

I didn't want my life to be so strange and filled with confusion, but then again, you never always get what you want. I can't sleep, no matter how much I try. Perhaps that is because I keep thinking so much and the more I try to sleep, the more I keep thinking.

My thoughts just wander about Alexander and how crazy my life has become since I met him. It all started with him, and maybe it all ends with him, but I can't imagine my life without him. It's really strange how my opinion on him has changed.

It wasn't that long ago that I used to think he was a dick and a jerk and arrogant, well he's mostly the same but never to me that is something that has changed about him and changed my thoughts about him, but that all happened after I got to know, or know him a better than I did when we first met.

And, now we're friends, or sort of friends. The thoughts that we're friends does bring aching to my heart and I have no idea why. At first I never wanted us to e friends, because I didn't want to be friends with a person like he is, but now I don't want us to be just friends, I want us to be more than friends.

What am I even thinking? This is crazy. Why did my mind ever think of this? We met only few weeks again and that wasn't that long ago and now I'm thinking that we'll be in a relationship together. That thought has entered my mind before.

When he said that he didn't like kids, I had forgotten about that thought as I had dismissed it right after I had thought of it, yet now I keep wandering back to it and I don't even know why I'm thinking like this. I should go to bed, I definitely should go to bed and try to sleep a bit.

It's far too late and I should have already been asleep, why is my brain keeping me awake when I really need to sleep. Somehow I'm missing the bed that I slept on at his house. Are you kidding me? Even now, my thoughts wander to him and his large mansion.

It just never stops, I don't even even know how tomorrow will be. I'm his secretary and I can't stop thinking about him now, I don't know how I will be tomorrow. "Go to sleep, Rose. I can practically hear your thoughts over here" Lena suddenly says.

I turn my head, open my eyes to look at her, and give her a confused look. I had my eyes closed and I didn't even move a muscle, how in the world did she know I was awake and thinking. "How did you kn-" I ask, but I don't get to finish. "Know?" She asks me.

"I just know" She tells me, as she sits up and turns on the lamp on the nightstand. "Come on, tell me what's bothering you" She says, she looks wide awake, while my eyes are hurting from the light and I have a hard time to see, as the lamp has a strong light bulb, besides I was almost asleep, well I wasn't but still.

"Nothing is bothering me" I tell her, as I turn around. My eyes are so tired, and my brain is tired, besides it has been thinking so much that it needs a break and sleep is the best break that the brain knows. Lena then comes to my hand of the bed and forces my body to turn around.

She has a look on her face that tells me that she's not believing me, at one bit. "What makes you think that there's something bothering me?" I ask her, I have no idea how she knows this, but then again, my brain is far too tired to even think about it at this point.

Though, it can think of Alexander Knight for hours, without getting tired. She raises her eyes brows. "You've been twisting and turning for hours, and sighing every now and then. It was pretty easy to figure out that you were awake and something was bothering you" She tells me and I gape at her.

"Then it didn't take that much to know that you're thinking about a certain boss you work for" She says, teasing me and it works. My cheeks start to heat up as I feel the blood rush to them and I'm blushing. My blushing is the answer she needs and it says it all.

"I knew it. I'm a detective. Detective Lena. It has a nice ring on it, doesn't it?" She asks, and her voice is all happy and joyful, how can she be like that. I'm so tired that I feel like my eyelids are about to fall down and get glued together.

She stands up and starts jumping on the bed, that is alarming since her ed is rather old and it can break if she does this. I'm too tired to even care about it, as I close my eyes and try to get some sleep. But, I think she has other ideas in her head as she goes out of her bed.

And turns on the light that starts to burn my eyes. "Come, we're going to have fun" She says as she pulls me out of the bed. I fall with a loud thump on the floor and it hurts. But, it did wake me up. "What was that for?" I ask, as I lie on the floor.

I don't even bother to try to get up. My mind may be awake now, but my body is more asleep than it has ever been. The fall from the bed didn't hurt that much, but the hardness in the wood will most likely leave some bruise on my skin for a few days, and I will not like that.

"I needed to wake you and that was the only reason I could think of" She admits, with a giggle. She helps me stand up and I sit on the bed. "Now, can I go back to bed or will you throw me out of it again? I ask. I feel like my body is going to fall asleep at any moment and that's why I sat down.

If I hadn't sat down, then I would have most likely fallen down to the ground, because my body is still fast asleep and I don't think that it will wake at any time soon. "Of course, you're not going back to sleep. We're having a party" She says, a little too loudly, as I hold my hands over my ears to shield them from her loud voice.

I have no idea how she's not tired but then again, she never really sleeps that much anyway, or that is what he tells me. She takes naps during the day, which means that she doesn't need as much sleep at night. She even takes naps at work, which I have no idea how she has not gotten fired by now, but somehow she manages to keep her job.

"A party? In the middle of the night? I don't think so" I tell her as I attempt to lie down on the bed, but she doesn't allow me to and pulls me up, so that I'm standing on the floor, I almost stumble but I hold into the wall beside the bed to keep myself standing up, and I don't want to fall again.

"Yes, we are. Trust me, it will be fun, I know it will. Every party with me in it, is the best party in the world. Just ask those who have partied with me" She says and drags me out of the bedroom and into the living room, she turns on the light and takes out her phone.

Suddenly loud music starts to play from the speakers all around the living room. This definitely wakes me up and anyone around this apartment. "Don't you think this is too loud?" I yell over the music. She starts to dance with the song but I just stand there and watch.

"No" She yells back as she holds her phone in her hands and just dances, she giggles and she does look like she has fun. "Dance with me" She speaks, yelling over the music. I don't even get a chance to say anything before she pulls me to her and I start to dance, and this is fun.
