Alexander's POV

The orange hues of the sun, seeped through the window, creating a light airy feel in the room. The sounds of the birds chirping were distant, yet I could hear them clearly. It felt like all my senses had heightened, making me appreciate the beauty of nature.

Lying down in bed, I averted my eyes to the beauty that was sleeping on top of me. Louisa, sleeping peacefully, her stomach and chest pressed onto me. My arm around her soft, smooth shoulders. Her delicate hair covering her face, I brushed the strands back behind her ears, to capture and admire her elegance.

Even sleeping, drooling on me, she was heavenly. I felt like the luckiest man on earth. The way she opened up to me last night, it was like our souls connected. I saw the fire of passion in her eyes. The first day I laid my eyes on her, I was captured, I was star-struck by her heavenly beauty. It took all my strength not to kiss her that day, and the many times after that.

I chuckled, remembering the first time I saw her. I never was the one to go drinking at the pub, especially alone. For some reason I was somehow destined to go that day. I saw Louisa, slumped down on the bar stool. She looked like she had the whole earth weighing down on her shoulders. She seemed familiar to me, like I had seen her before.

I wanted to find a way to talk to her, I didn't want to come across as the creepy guy, approaching a girl on her own. I thought the best thing would be to buy her drink. I was like a giddy child when she came to me. All I could see was, stress in her eyes. I wanted to help her.

When she revealed her idea of applying, I couldn't stop roaring with laughter on the inside. All I could do was advise her to go for it.

I wasn't sure I would see her again, but I did. The brief moment in the carpark. The way my heart skipped many beats seeing her again. Yet again, it took all my strength not to grab her and kiss her.

Viv had interviewed many people, each time I would watch from my office, praying that she didn't give the job to someone else. The last interview of the day was, Louisa's.

When Viv told me, she decided Louisa was the one, I was elated. I felt like I had to celebrate. That's when I knew Louisa was the one for me. Fate had brought us together for the third time. Seeing her at the club again, my heart was bursting with happiness, almost as if it would jump out of my chest.

Dancing together, with the combination of the music, lights and alcohol was electrifying. When she had her hands around me, all my senses in my body were tense. The effect she had on me was truly one in a million. Her jittery hands were trying to capture everything on her phone, I felt like I had to assist. That's when I took over, grabbed her phone and took pictures.

The three times seeing her, it was like the earth was pulling us together like magnets. The more I saw her, the more my passion for her grew inside me. It was like a ball inside me, getting bigger and bigger, waiting to burst.

The very few intimate moments we spent; it was a build up to last night. Last night was when the ball inside me ruptured. It was like fireworks inside of me exploding. I never wanted to let this girl go. She was the one for me.

I drew away from my reminiscing, I admired Louisa sleeping once more. I carefully got out of bed, making sure not to wake her. Finding my trousers, I propped them back on, making my way to my own bedroom. A quick cold showered awoken all my senses. How I wish I had Louisa in the shower with me.

Whilst getting out of the shower, my phone started to ring. It was an unknown number; I shrugged my shoulders and answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr Pierce." The stern voice said.

"Speaking." I replied, getting changed.

"This is parking control. We just want to ask you about this car that's been parked outside your building since Tuesday, are you aware of this?"

I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What car?"

"It's a black Volkswagen Golf-"

"Leave it!" I cut him off realising that it was Louisa's. "I'll be there in ten minutes."

I hung up, not listening to what the guy on the other end had to say. I rushed to finish getting changed. I made my way back to Louisa's bedroom. Still sleeping in the same position, I left her, I took in her irresistible looks. Snapping myself out, I frantically look around the room, trying to find her keys. Trawling through her bag, I finally retrieved the keys.

Before I left the room, I leaned over the bed, giving Louisa a kiss on the forehead. She was so intoxicating, she was like my drug, I wanted more of her. Taking in her beauty once again, I made the decision to lay everything out on the table, tell her how I truly feel. I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself.

***

Parking up Louisa's car, I went inside calling Maggie. Her chirpy, cheerful manner entered into the main room, smiling like always.

"When Louisa wakes up, give her the car keys." I handed them over to Maggie. "If she asks where I am, just tell her I'm out."

"Oh, of course Mr Pierce." Maggie responded, taking the keys into her hands.

I spent most of the morning, fumbling around the city, trying to find a restaurant I could fully book to myself. I recalled the Italian rooftop place. It was a long shot but it was worth the try. I was overjoyed when they told me they had no bookings for the afternoon. Without hesitation I booked the entire restaurant.

Before going back home, I found myself at a jewellery store. There was a need inside me to buy a gift. I hoped that if she felt the same way, I would give her the gift.

I saw the most exquisite necklace. It was thin and simple, reflecting a sheen gold colour, accompanied with letter 'L'. My heart skipped a beat thinking about gifting it to her.

When I got home, I felt restless. I needed to see her again. Doubt creeped in my mind. What if she doesn't feel the same way. I should be able to deal with that? I inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm myself down. I prepared myself for the worst.

As I was pacing up and down, it didn't occur to me that Louisa had just entered the room. When I saw her, I instantly stopped and it felt like all the worry was flushed away from my body. Again, I was blown away by her beauty. Her innocent hazel eyes, gazing into mine, brings back memories of last night. Her soft supple cheeks, rising as she smiled at me. How I wish I could wrap her in my arms and kiss her, make love to her right in this moment.

We both approached each other, for a moment we were lost in each other's eyes.

"Louisa."

"Alexander"

We spoke at the same time and chuckled. I motioned for her to speak first.

"I went to go see Sarah." she said in her soft-spoken tone.

"How is her mother?" I enquired, whilst gazing at her engaging face.

"Um, she's fine." she swiftly responded. "I... Um... Also saw Calum."

I clenched my jaws hearing that name. I had never met him, but I knew he was a twat and didn't deserve a sweet and innocent soul like Louisa. I could tell she had more to say, so I stood there in silence waiting for her to carry on.

"He seems different. He also made the effort to turn himself around and get a job." She stated in a low voice.

I narrowed my eyes and cocked my head. I began to ponder why she was telling me all this. I continued to stay silent.

"He reminded me how much I truly love him. He proposed to me and I said yes," Louisa said hesitantly, extending her hand, showing me the ring on her finger.

Devastation came piling on me like a bulldozer. It felt like someone put their hand in my chest, pulled out my heart and split it in two. I felt numb. I couldn't comprehend the words coming out of her mouth. For a moment I felt dizzy, as if the world around me was spinning. Standing there waiting for me to respond, she took her shaky hand away.

I forced myself to smile. "Wow! That's great! Congratulations."

I leaned in to hug her, my arms wrapped around her shoulders, leaning my chin on her head. She closed the gap between us, bringing herself closer to the hug. I closed my eyes, taking it all in. The sweet, flowery, scent from Louisa had engulfed my nose. Her scent made me feel at ease. We finally broke away from our hug.

"I've also decided to move back in. I know you've done so much for me and I am really thankful and grateful." She said with a jitter in her voice.

The pain was increasing all over me. I wanted to scream. I knew I had to keep my emotions in check.

"Don't worry about it. Whatever you need to do, it's fine with me. You can leave your stuff here if you want. That can be your spare room, anytime you need it, it's yours." I respond trying hold back my anger and rage.

"I... Um just need to sort some things out. I let you get on with moving. Let me know if you need any help." I didn't wait for Louisa to respond. I stormed up the stairs towards my bedroom.

I slammed the door shut. I was breathing in and out in such anger. I felt myself go red in the face. Pacing up and down my room, the anger and sadness was consuming me. The first thing I saw was my lamp, besides my bed.

I pulled it from the socket and threw it at the door, I let out a raging howl. I slumped down on the floor, leaning on the bed. Lifting my leg up, I rested my arm on my knee, placing my head in my hand. I felt broken. I was prepared to tell Louisa everything, how I felt about her.

It was like she had all the power. She had my heart in her hand, and she threw it away. I couldn't stop feeling this way, towards her. She was consuming my every thought and I didn't know what to do.
