*****Alex's POV*****
I had just dropped the call with Gage when a knock came at the door to the room.
“Come in.” I called and the door was pushed open, revealing Seren dressed exquisitely.
I raised a brow at the sudden attire while she smiled at me.
Come to think of it, it had been so long since I last saw Serenity, she had just been going on and off for a while now, never at home and always busy.
I wasn't complaining though, considering that she had her own life to live and she had her own things to deal with.
“Alex..” she whined, the usual whining she added each time she called out my name.
“You don't look happy to see me..” she pouted and strolled into the room.
She clapped her hands softly and a maid came in carrying a tray of different meals in tow.
“I brought you food!” She smiled and getsured for the maid to place the tray on the table. Once the meal had been placed on the table, she dismissed the maid and the maid left.
She turned to me again and wiggled her eyebrows, suddenly also making me smile at the cute gesture.
“I said to treat you to a meal today, since I'm always busy running errands for myself and not having time for us anymore.”
For some reason, the way she said it made me cringe inside, but smiled at her.
“From today, I'll be taking care of your meals.” She added and began to set the meal before me, adding the essentials and everything she knew I liked.
“Alex say something and stop staring.” She quipped with a blush and I blinked, realizing that I had been staring at her for a very long time.
“What's up with you? You look lost.”
“I'm fine, just stressed.” I replied and she raised a brow at me. “Oh you're stressed? Then that's good! There's a party coming up in two days, I'm taking you along.” She said and beamed at me.
I scrunched my face up at the party and sighed. It's been such a long time I had such outings with Seren, so I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually go out and unwind for a while.
“Fine, we’ll go to the party in two days, who’s the celebrant?”
“A high school friend of mine, he just returned from abroad.”
“Oh…” I drawled and she nodded.
“Now open wide..” she chided and I felt slightly uncomfortable having her feed me the meal.
“It's fine, I'll eat myself…” I began to say, but was rudely interrupted by her.
“We haven't seen each other for a while now and this is like the only chance for us to actually bond again, let me treat you well. You might never get this chance again.”
I frowned at the last part, what did she mean by that? I watched her face and the look that flashed in her eyes.
