🌹R O S E III🌹

🌹CHAPTER THIRTY🌹

The door to the bedroom opens and I really jump up from the bed when I see him standing there, with a look of sorrow on his face. I can see in his eyes that he has been crying but then again so have I. The clock is about one in the morning and I waited for him for hours, the tears just kept coming and I could not stop them no matter how much I tried.

As soon as my eyes have landed on him I run up to him and join him into a hug, a hug that I know we both need and this isn't just for myself, this is also for him. Though, I truly needed to hug him. I've been worried all night and I could not even sleep.

"You're home" I whisper into his shoulder as I hug him and he hugs me back. I know now that everything is going to be all right now that he is here with me and I know that nothing is going to happen to either one of us since we are now in each other's arms. I never want to be without his touch ever again.

"We should go to bed" He whispers to me and I nod my head. Just hearing his voice makes me believe that everything is all right. We walk to the bed and when we lay down he pulls me tight into his chest and the grip he holds me in is one that he doesn't want to let go of any time soon but then again I don't want him to let go of me.

I close my eyes as I breathe in his cologne, the one that will always melt my heart in ways that nothing else can as this is his scent and this is how he smells. "Are you smelling me?" He asks me and I freeze as he has caught me red-handed. The blush rises to my cheeks.

"Maybe..." I trail off awkwardly as he has found out that I was smelling him. "Why?" He asks me and when I thought this awkward moment could not get any more awkward, it gets a whole lot more awkward. "You smell good" I whisper, trying to get out of this conversation.

"And how do I smell?" He asks. I can almost hear the smirk when he spoke. He's teasing me and I'm falling for it. "Just go to sleep" I tell him with a giggle and I can already tell that the fight that we had earlier, it has been forgiven. I've already forgiven him and he has forgiven me.

That is clear to the both of us now. Alexander chuckles at me. "Where's the fun in that? I was enjoying myself listening to you. Your voice is like of an angel" He whispers into my ear. A shiver runs down my spine and as the blood form in my cheeks.

Blushing like a tomato or even deeper than that I turn my head to look at him and I don't need words to tell him how I feel because the smile that I give him says all that he needs to know and more. "Now, go to sleep" I whisper to him and he nods his head and I know that he understood the smile that I gave him.

"As you wish, my love" He whispers to me and my heart wills up with love and happiness as I get myself comfortable in his arms and then close my eyes as I feel his scent and him pull me into the darkness where the dreams come rushing to me.

My eyes snap open by the sound of my alarm and when I try to move I find that I'm unable to move at all. A giggle escapes past my lips as I realize that Alexander holds me tight and is still asleep. "Alexander, wake up. We're going to be late" I tell him and he stirs up in his sleep.

"We're not going to the office today" He announces and I grow confused at that as I've no idea what he's talking about. "Perhaps you don't have to be there but I still have a couple of things that I need to figure out so I need to be there" I tell him as I try to break free.

Why does he have this strong arms? It's not really helpful when I'm trying to get away from him and that is a sentence that I never thought I would ever say but I did. "Let go of me, I have to go" I tell him but he's not having it. Pretending to be asleep when it's clear as day that he's awake as there is a smile on his lips.

"No, you don't. You're staying right here with me" He tells me. I let out a sigh as my attempts to getting out of his strong grip which doesn't hurt me at all as it's strong but inviting and warm and comfortable in ways like no other. I give up and snuggle closer into his chest.

If you can't beat them, join them. Is that not something that is often said? And it certainly does fit because there is no way that I'm able to get out of his arms now. "I still need to go to work" I remind him but he shakes his head but not once does he open his eyes at me.

Though, he does have a mixture of a smirk and smile on his face and it's hard to see which direction it's leaning more into, though I know he's amused by this. "We're both staying at home today" He tells me and I roll my eyes. I need to go to the office because there are still so many things that have to be done there and I've not gotten everything yet but I know that I will soon.

"What?" I ask him. He turns me in his arms so that I'm now facing him but not once does he let go of me and not once do I want him to. "I acted horrible to you but I want to make it up to you and spend the day with you" He says to me and I think my mom and Mrs. Ryder were right.

He is coming to me, begging for forgiveness. "All right, what do you have planned?" I ask him. He smirks at me. "Nothing" He answers which does leave me confused. "Nothing?" I ask. Wondering if I had heard him right or not.

I find it rather off that Alexander Knight has nothing planned. He is normally the one that always has everything planned out as he likes to be in control. Is this the same man that I'm in love with. He chuckles. "Yes, nothing. I figured that we could spend the day in bed" He says to me and I smile to him.

This is unlike him but the idea is sort of nice to me and I could use a day or two just to stay in bed and calm down as work has taken a lot out of me, even when I've not been there for long. There are many things that are new to me and I need to adjust to after being asleep for so long.

"Why?" I ask him unsure of what has happened to him as this is not like him at all. The Alexander that I know doesn't like to stay in bed all day and would never do that. "Because I want to spend time with my fiancée before we go back to the world which is so insane" He tells me and I do have to agree with him on that.

But, there is something strange about him, so strange that I have no clue what is happening. I look at him to see that he does have a look of sorrow on his face. "We will go back outside later today but for now, I just want to spend time with you here in my arms" He says.

The way he says it, it's almost like he's desperate but then again we did have a fight yesterday and perhaps he just feels as guilty about it as I do and he wants to make it up to me in any way he can. So, who am I to deny him this? He just wants to spend time with me and I really do want to be with him.

"All right, but not too long, I still need to go to the office and take care of couple of things" I tell him and he only smiles at me and hugs me even tighter. "This is the life" He says and sniffs. "Are you now smelling me?" I ask him a raised eyebrow at him.

He chuckles and smirks at me and I can tell that he's mocking me for some reason but it only makes me love him even more than I already did which I'm not sure how is possible but somehow it is possible. The love I have for him can only grow and become more and more.

My heart is at peace right here in his arms. "Of course, your scent is like the sweet smell of heaven that I never want to stop smelling" He says but I notice that after he has said that there is a look of sadness on his face. Does he truly feel this guilty about the fight that we had?

Can I even call it a fight? Since we barely said that much to each other but he was the one that stormed out of the meeting room and left me alone with Mrs. Ryder to help me pick up the things that he should be doing or at least helping me do.

"You're so ridiculous" I mutter to him which makes him only smile at me and the way that he smiles at me melts my heart in ways that nothing else can. He does have effect on me that nothing else on this earth does and it's like anything. However, I never want this feeling to end.

The way that he makes me feel, the way that I fall deeper in love with him each time I see him smile or look into his beautiful eyes. It fills me up and brings me nothing but love. "You are right, this is the life" I tell him. This moment right now is everything I could ever dream of.

After everything we have been through and everything that I know we will go through, we deserved this moment and it is everything. I snuggle closer to him which I'm not sure is possible at this point right now since I'm so close to him that I can hear his heartbeat and I think our hearts are beating in sync, as if they are one.

The smile on my face is one of happiness and joy and I never want that smile to go away. The feelings I feel inside me right now are feelings that I never want to disappear from my heart as they are of love and peace which makes me happy.

He makes me happy. But, when I look into his eyes there is something in his eyes that makes me feel uneasy as he is feeling sadness. "You know I forgive you, right?" I ask him and he nods his head. "Of course, I just hope your forgiveness will be about everything" He says which makes me look at him with a confused look.

"What are you talking about" I ask him but Alexander shakes his head. "Don't worry about, let's just enjoy his moment, while it lasts" He only says and that makes him kiss my forehead and I smile, though I still worry about him as I know that something is going on, I can feel it.
