Now and Forever novel Chapter 29

As the week ended, Alexander and I had gotten closer, not that close, but closer. I mean, the guy was smiling, not smirking, but smiling at things that I said.

"Knock knock." I sang as I opened the door to his study.

He looked up with a raised eyebrow and leaned back on his chair, papers still in his hands.

"Alexander?"

"Mhm?" He hummed as he continued reading the paper's.

"Can you like... I don't know, tell me about Tony?" I asked as I bit my lip and took a seat in front of him.

He immediately froze and looked up at me, his face contorted into surprise.

"What?"

"I said, can you please tell me about-"

"I heard what you said, Amelia."

"Then why did you say 'what?' If you heard me the first time?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

He inhaled and exhaled slowly.

"It was meant- you know what? Never mind." He said as he went back to his work.

"So... are you going to tell me, or...?"

"No Amelia, I'm not going to tell you."

"What? Why not?"

He looked up at me and crossed his arms.

"Because, Amelia. It's honestly none of your damn business. So please, don't bury your nose in it."

I raised my eyebrows at his rudeness and stood up.

And to think we were actually getting somewhere.

"It might not be 'none of my damn business', but you honestly don't have to be rude about it."

I didn't wait for his reply and just stormed out of his study, making sure to slam the door shut.

Since it was only 3:23, I decided to go to the beach.

I grabbed my sunglasses, towel and phone then made my way out of the back door.

"Hello?" I said into the phone when Bella answered.

"Mimi! Hi! How are you?! I haven't spoken to you in like what? A week? Don't tell me you guys had-"

"I'm gonna stop you right there Bella!" I said as my cheeks got hot.

I finally got a spot on the beach and sat down on a chair.

"So..." Bella trailed off.

"So?" I urged her to continue.
