Now and Forever novel Chapter 17

We got back to the mansion and I was the first person to get out of the limo. I made my way to the room and immediately took off my heels and walked to the closet.

I sat down on my dressing table chair and started removing the jewelry I was wearing one by one careful not to damage it.

I set the jewelry aside and got my wipes out from the drawer. I started off by removing the eye makeup then went on to the foundation.

As I was removing my lipstick, the door to the closet opened and in Came Alexander. He paused a bit when he saw me but walked towards his side of the closet.

He took of his jacket and unbuttoned the first three buttons of his shirt then grabbed a grey shirt and a pair of pajama pants and made his way to the bathroom.

I took the jewelry and clutch into my hands and made my way to Audrey's room. I opened the door and set it on her bed and walked out of the room.

I went back to my room and into the closet. I tried to unzip my dress to take a shower after Alexander but it was no use since I couldn't reach the zipper.

I heard the bathroom door open and I assumed Alexander had finished taking a shower. I walked out of the closet and saw Alexander sitting on the desk, switching on his laptop.

"Umm, Alexander?"

"What?" He said waiting for his laptop to get on.

"Can you please help me?"

"Help you with what?" He asked putting in his password for the laptop.

"Umm," I coughed awkwardly, "unzip my dress?"

At this he turned around, an eyebrow raised. "Help you with what?"

You idiot! You know very well what I said!

I rolled my eyes and repeated my question. "Please can you help me unzip my dress?"

He stood up from his chair and walked towards me. He went behind me and took ahold of the zipper and pulled it down slowly. His fingers brushed against the skin of my back and a shiver ran down my back involuntary.

When he finished he walked back to the desk without another word and started working.

I walked back into the closet and grabbed a pair of undies and a bra with my pajamas and made my way to the bathroom.

As I was showering, the lights suddenly went off and the shower got cold. I yelped as I jumped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body.

I tried dressing but it was no use since there was a lack of light. I opened the bathroom door and looked around the room. I think the power had been cut off because of the lack of light also in the room.

The only light was the moon streaming through the balcony doors, and even it didn't do much help with light.

Alexander was no where in sight so I assumed he had gone to ask what the problem was. I walked over to the closet because that's where I had left my phone earlier on when I had emptied the bag.

I found it on my dressing table and put the torch on while walking back to the bathroom.

I changed into my bra and undies then went on to the pajamas.

I really need to get pajamas, I can't keep on wearing these if I'm staying in the same room as Alexander!

Suddenly, a twist in my lower abdomen sent pain surging through my body.

Nooo, it can't happen now! God why?!

I went back to the closet to grab a you know what and a hot water bottle. I went back to the bathroom again and put it on.

I went over to the shopping bags and got out a robe I had gotten when I went shopping and put on my house slippers then made my way downstairs, my phone in hand.

I walked into the kitchen and started looking for a kettle or a little pot I can boil water in. I bent down and looked around in the cupboard for something I can use when the same pain came again, but worse this time and I clutched my stomach and sat down on the floor, waiting for the pain to pass.

"Ok, deep breath Amelia, deep breath." I repeated with my eyes closed shut.

The sound of someone walking made my eyes open. I saw the silhouette of a man standing against the door frame and I got an idea of who it was.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I stood up from the floor with the help of the counter.

"I could ask you the same thing." Alexander said as he walked to the kitchen island and took a seat on the stools.

"Boiling water." I said as I bent down again and looked for a pot or kettle. I heard him suck in a breath and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

"What?" I asked as I stood up and looked at him but couldn't see his face properly because of the little light I had from my phone.

"N-nothing." He said as he vigorously shook his head no. "What are you looking for?"

"A pot or kettle to put water in."

"Why do you need hot water?" He asked as he stood up and walked to the other side of the kitchen.

"For something..." I trailed off as I swung back and forth on the heels and balls of my feet.

He brought me a pot and sat down on a stool on the kitchen island and I filled the pot with water and put it on the gas part of the stove.

I went round the table and took a seat next to him while waiting for my water to boil.

Around two minutes later, my phone rang and Sophia's name popped up.

"Hello?" I said into the phone.

"AMELIA YOU IDIOT!" She screamed into the phone.

"What did I do? And why are you calling at one am?"

"Why are you on t.v? And with Alexander Knight?! Only the hottest billionaire in the country?!" She said all at once.
