Now and Forever novel Chapter 18

I groaned as I searched for my phone, the annoying ringtone of my phone waking me up from my slumber.

"What?!" I snapped into the phone, not bothering to check the caller ID.

"This is the second time you're doing this. Are you always asleep when I call you?" In came my best friend's voice.

"Unfortunately yes, now what do you want at," I removed the phone from my ear and checked the time, "seven in the morning?"

"How are you still asleep at seven am? Have a late night with your fiancée?"

"Yes- wait a second, ewww, that's disgusting Bella." I crinkled my nose in disgust.

She laughed hard into the phone.

"Har har har, very funny Bella." I said in a sing-song voice.

"Now, what do you want?"

"How were my presents?"

"What present- oh wait, you BITCH!"

"Sooo, you didn't like them?"

"Why would I like them?! And how did you know we were going to sleep in the same room anyways?" I lowered my voice at the last part so that nobody could hear me.

"Oh come on Mimi, I put two and two together. You guys were going to his parents house, wouldn't it be weird that you would have to sleep in separate rooms?"

"Ugh, fine, you have a point but still, why would you do that Bellaaa?"

"I'll call you later Mimi." She said after laughing hard and then hung up the phone.

At this point I had lost sleep and didn't know what to do. I looked over at Alexander's side of the bed and was surprised to see him still sleeping, his back faced to me.

I slowly got out of the bed and made my way to the closet after putting on my robe incase he wakes up and I'm not yet showering.

I picked out a pair of dark blue denim jeans, a white top that stopped just on the waistband of the jeans and white sneakers. I picked out a pair of undies and a bra then made my way to the bathroom.

Since the power wasn't yet back, I had to have a cold shower! That's right, a cold shower! Which was freezing by the way.

I washed my hair which took it back to its curly form with strawberry scented shampoo, and used the strawberry scented body wash that came with it.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body then started piling my body.

I put on deodorant and my under garments then my clothes last. I held my hair up in a messy bun after oiling it the walked out of the bathroom.

Alexander was still sleeping, surprisingly.

He must be really tired, huh?

I put my pajamas in the laundry basket and hung my gown up on the door of the bathroom when there was a knock on the door.

"Morning ma- Amelia." The maid from the other day said.

"Morning..."

"It's Aurora." She said with a polite smile on her face.

"Well morning Aurora, how may I help you?"

"Mrs Knight told me to come and call you and Mr Alexander for breakfast."

"Ok thank you, well be down in thirty."

"You're welcome." With that said she turned on her heel and walked away.

I closed the door and turned around to look at a still sleeping Alexander.

"Alexander." I said as I shook him awake.

He groaned and turned to face the other side.

I huffed in annoyance and climbed over him to the other side.

"Alexander, wake up."
