Chapter 19

"Glad you could finally join us." Bethany said, her words dripping with sarcasm.

"Sorry, feeling's not mutual." Audrey said with a tight smile on her face.

Bethany threw her a glare and turned to Alexander.

"Morning Xander." She said with a sickly sweet voice.

Alexander just gave her nod of acknowledgement and pulled out a chair for me.

Bethany turned to me and threw me a glare, I just ignored her and took a seat.

Audrey sat on my left and Alexander day on my right.

"Morning Mrs Knight." I said politely at the woman that was sitting next to Alexis.

"Oh please Amelia, call me Melanie and good morning to you too." She replied with a smile on her

face.

I put three pancakes and and an apple on my plate then filled my glass up with orange juice.

"Mom, what happened to the power?" Audrey asked after a few minutes into breakfast.

"The line blew, so the whole neighborhood doesn't have any power."

"When will it be back?"

"The power company said the latest they could fix it would be tomorrow." Melanie explained.

"What?! How am I supposed to curl my hair now?!" Bethany exclaimed.

"You can go back to your house since it isn't in the neighborhood." Audrey said while shrugging her

shoulders and looking down at her plate.

Bethany huffed then stood up and stormed out of the room, again.

This gave an opportunity to look at her outfit properly.

She was wearing a black jumpsuit the stopped mid thigh with killed six inch black heels. For makeup,

she had done smoky eye with a dark red lipstick.

Alexis, like always, stood up and followed her.

She was wearing a navy blue dress that stopped just above her knees with blue six inch heels. She

had just gone for a natural look for makeup and had clear lipgloss.

"Why does she always do that?" Melanie asked.

Alexander, Audrey and I just shrugged our shoulders and just continued eating.

After breakfast, I called Soph.

"Hello?" Her voice came through the phone.

"Hey Soph, it's me, Amelia."

"Well no shit Sherlock."

I just rolled my eyes and continued speaking.

"I called to tell you everything, but you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone."

"Yeah yeah, I promise."

"No Sophia, I'm serious. You have to promise not to tell anyone."

"Ok Amelia, I promise I won't tell anyone." With that said, I told her everything.

"Woah Amelia, you really did have to do that you know." Sophia said, sincerity in her voice.

"It's not like I had choice either, but as long as you and mom are doing okay, I don't mind, and besides,

it's only for a year, I'll manage." I said with a small smile on my face even though she couldn't see it.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure, but please don't tell anyone, especially not mom and dad."

"I promise. So, when's the wedding?"

"I'm not sure, I'll ask Alexander when it is."

"I forgot to do something earlier on." Sophia said, suddenly turning serious.

"What-"

"MY SISTER IS GETTING MARRIED TO ALEXANDER FREAKING KNIGHT, THE HOTTEST MAN IN

THE WHOLE OF AMERICA!" She screamed into the phone.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is when Alexander walked into the room.

And to make matters worse, my phone was on loud speaker.

I quickly hung up the phone and turned to Alexander.

This idiot had a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face.

Can you believe it? A smirk. This idiot had the nerve to smirk at me.

"Would you look at that Amelia, your sister thinks I'm the hottest man in America, don't you agree with

her?" He said in a teasing tone.

"I think you look like pig." I said looking at him.

"A sexy pig." He said, the smirk still present in his face.

"You might look like a sexy pig but-"

"So you think I'm sexy?" He cut me off. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

"What? No!"

"But you just agreed that I look like a sexy pig." He said, still smirking.

"Shut up!" I cried as I felt heat creep up my neck and cheeks.

He just chuckled and walked out of the room.

Three weeks later...

"Get up Amelia!"

I groaned as the curtains were drawn open and the sun disturbed my eyes.

"We're going to the spa!"

"Shut up Audrey, I'm trying to sleep!"

"No, now get up. I have the whole day planned out for us."

I opened and eye and saw Audrey standing in front of me with her hands on her waist.

I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

"Where's Alexander?" I asked, my voice groggy.

"Right next to you."

"Oh." I said when I noticed the lump under the blankets next to me.

How didn't all the ruckus wake him up?

"How didn't he wake up with all that's happened?" I spoke my thoughts.

"I don't know. Now up! We have a long day ahead of us."

I obliged to what she said and went straight to my closet.

I picked out a yellow off the shoulder sundress that had white floral patterns dancing around it. It was

two inches above my knees and I paired it with brown ankle length heeled boots.

I got a white strapless bra with matching undies and white ankle socks to put in the boots.

The door suddenly opened and in came Audrey.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm getting my clothes to go have a shower?" I said in more of a question than a statement.

"Why?"

"Because I have to shower in the morning?"

She rolled her eyes, "I mean, why are you taking your clothes with you to the bathroom?"

"Because I have to dress up?"

"No idiot! Why take your clothes to the bathroom if you already have a closet."

At this point she had taken my clothes out of my arms and put the on the dressing table.

"It's not like Alexander hasn't already seen you half naked." She muttered under her breath, but I still

heard it.

Heat crept up my neck and cheeks and Audrey must have seen it too because she was looking at me

wide eyed.

"Oh. My. God Amelia!"

"What?" I muttered, looking anywhere but at her.

"You-"

"Shut up! I'm going to have a shower now."

I grabbed my clothes off the chair and made my way to the bathroom.

As I was showering, the door to the bathroom opened. I wasn't that bothered since I knew Alexander

was still sleeping and I knew it was Audrey, probably getting something to borrow.

After showering, I dried my body and started looking for my clothes.

I swear to god I put them over- HOLY SHIT! Audrey!

I poked my head out of the bathroom and looked around.

No sign of Alexander, PERFECT!

I quickly made my way to the closet, my eyes on the door incase Alexander walked in.

I opened the closet, my eyes still on the door. I closed it and sighed, my eyes closed.

"Ahem." My eyes flew open and man, what a sight it was.

Alexander freaking Knight was wearing nothing but pajama pants that were hanging dangerously low

on his hips, showing off his v line. His torso was so well defined, I could count how many abs he had.

This man of an Adonis, had six abs, all perfectly toned with a trail of hair going down from his belly

button into his pants. He had a tattoo on his left ribcage, a writing of some sort and his arms were so

muscular, I just felt like running my tongue over them.

That's so disgusting Amelia!

'Oh shut up, I know you were thinking the same way.'

"Staring's rude, Ms Anderson." The jerk said with a smirk on his face.

"Huh?" I dumbly said, my mind in a haze.

He put on a shirt and walked towards me.

He came so close that his chest was touching mine. He faced towards my ear that I could feel the his

hot breath on my bare skin.

"Excuse me." He whispered in my ear, and with that, he pushed me to the side and opened the door

then walked out.

I just stood there dumbfounded.

That did not just happen!

I shook my head to rid all of the dirty thoughts that ran through my mind when I saw him half naked and

put on my clothes.
