Chris POV
None of them were able to speak.
“Alicia?” I looked at her.
“ Who is she?” Alicia asked, pointing at Laura.
“ She is a nurse, she was supposed to attend to you” I answered her.
It was obvious they had known themselves from somewhere but that was hardly what should bother her, or so I thought.
“ Tell her to leave” Alicia said firmly, not flinching even at the look in Laura's eyes.
I was taken aback by her demand, she clearly didn't want Laura.
Without hesitating, I turned to Laura, “ leave”
“ Okay sir” Laura said with a bow and left.
The silence that followed was a little awkward. I turned to Alicia, asking why she was so quiet. The heck she needed to explain to me why she acted that way.
“ Don't you think you have an explanation to give?”
“ I think you should start it,” she said. I was surprised, shocked even. The Alicia I knew wasn't like this.
“What do you wanna know?” I asked her.
“ Everything”
The look in her eye was intense. I smiled knowing she hadn't realized who I was.
“ Everything?” I said, touching my temples. “ Well I'm Chris and I want to help you”
“ Help me?” she looked confused, “why?”
“I don't know,” I shrugged. That was the only thing I could say at the moment.
“ Okay, how I'm I supposed to believe that?” she asked.
“ It's up to you, where were you going earlier?”
“ Nowhere sir” she replied. I raised an eyebrow when she mentioned sir. What was she getting at?
“ Just call me Chris” I said leaning back to the chair I was sitting on.
She kept mute, and I didn't know what to say either.
“ Tell me about you”. I opted to engage her.
“ It would bore you out Chris” she said.
“I still wanna hear it,” I insisted.
“ But first, tell me why you were captured there” I needed to know why she was held captive. Was she an acquaintance of Ethan? I hoped not.
“ Alicia” I called.
“ How do you know my name?” she asked.
“ Someone told me” I wondered how long I could keep up with my lying.
“ Who was it?” she asked unrelentingly.
“One of the guests at the party”
“ How does he know me?”
“ Alicia, stop asking too much questions”
She looked at me a little apologetic.
“ Sorry” she muttered.
I stared at her, she was still so beautiful after twelve years. And those lips, heck she wasn't even wearing something nice yet she made impacts on me. I swallowed.
She chewed at her fingers and I imagined she would want to get out of here.
“ I'm hungry,” she said suddenly.
“ Okay” I said, ringing for Rachel.
“ Sir?” She came in immediately. “ Get a plate of food for her” I ordered.
“ Okay sir” she said.
I turned to her and gave her a reassuring smile but she didn't return it.
Rachel came in and served her. Watching her pounce on the food like a lion amused me.
She finished the food and mumbled a thank you.
I shifted to where she sat and surprisingly she didn't move away.
I held her hand and rubbed them. They were still the same familiar small hands, but they were a little rough as if she had been subjected to hard work.
I moved even closer, and to my surprise she leaned her head on my shoulder.
Her breath tickled me and my whole body wanted more.
I turned her to face mine and placed my lip on hers awaiting the possibility of rejection.
“ Chris” her voice over my lip made me go hard.
I opened my mouth and she responded, matching my energy. She moaned, it all came back to me, that night. I tried to forget but that memory stuck.
I wanted to do those things again.
I yearned for her and she was willing. I felt vulnerable the moment I deepened the kiss. Our tongues tied in a smooth sweet tangle.
The door opened and my mum stood staring down angrily at me.
I loosened my grip on Alicia and I noticed she was embarrassed. I loved her, always have. Even though she hadn't realized who I was, I was determined to never make another mistake.
I patted her shoulder and turned to my mother.
