Chapter 24 - Dating a Married Man (2/2)

When their eyes met, Alex waved at April and gestured her to come to him.

”Tell Linda to call the editors, We need this publicized when the time comes. We need to be ready in case those bastards starts to act!”

When April got closer, Alex kissed her forehead. April blushed at the Alex's sudden action. He pinched her cheeks, seeing that she was turning red again. She looks so ravishing, he thought. He couldn't help but recall last night, someone was starting to wake up. He cleared his head and listen back to his phone.

”Sir?” James called out, when his boss didn't reply.

”I'm still here” Alex scratched his neck.

”I will inform Linda and also your father called. Roughly 20 minutes ago.” James repeated what he just said. Making sure that his boss was listening this time.

”What did he want?” Alex looked at April, she was currently looking at the beach. He could smell his shampoo that she used and noticed that her hair was still wet. April's hair and dress was slowly being blown by the wind.

”He wanted to check if you went to work today. I said that you're sick and was staying at your villa. He didn't say what he wanted, it didn't sounded like an emergency. After that, he hanged up.” James was already used to covering up for his boss.

”Okay. Let me know if something comes up.” Alex hanged up, he didn't waited for James to reply.

Alex walked behind April and hugged her. He burrowed his head into her hair. ”Hmm.. You smell lovely.” He whispered.

April smiled, but didn't say a word nor looked at him. She was currently arranging her thoughts.

”April?” Alex leaned his head on her right shoulder.

”Hmm?”

”What are you thinking?” Alex wanted to continue what they shared, it was way too different than what he and his wife experienced. He felt more calm and relaxed when April was around.

”What happens now, Alex? What Am I going to become after this?” April spoke the truth. She did wanted to know. Though she was currently happy, It wasn't her intentions to become his Mistress. She only wanted to be free, free from being constantly judge and pitied.

Alex straighten his back and made April face him. ”I'll be honest with you, I'm not quite sure. All I know is, I want to be with you right now. Do feel the same?” Alex lifted his hand and caress April's cheek.

April nodded. Even though his answer was not satisfactory, at least he was honest. She too, wanted to stay with Alex.

Alex smiled and gave a quick kiss on her lips. ”As long as you let me stay beside you, I'll be always here for you baby.” Alex pulled April to him and hugged her. Right now, He knew that he didn't want April to pushed him away. He wanted to be beside her and their son, to be their strength.

April hugged back. It was too good to be true. For this to happen, what will be the cost? She was afraid to get hurt, yet she didn't want to let go of Alex.

”And your wife?” April murmured. She knew that Francesca would not be happy with this arrangement.

”You don't have to worry about her, I'll handle everything. Right now, you only have to worry about yourself and our son.” Alex kissed her lips again, he just realized that he was now addicted to it. April kissed back. She loves his kisses too.

After a while, Alex stopped their kiss before he turned into a beast again. He was getting hungry and so she was. He only drank some coffee earlier.

”Let's get your hair dry first, Before we eat. I don't want you to get sick.” Alex kissed her forehead and pulled her hand. He led her back to his room and into the bathroom. April's eyes never left Alex's, she was looking down at their intertwined hands.

Is it possible to stay like this forever?
