Colliding Rulers

Storm (1)

Gevia's P.O.V

I was caught in the rain when I was on my way home. The forecast said that it was a storm, then I guess in a bit, it's going to pour. The wind was also picking up its pace, trying to carry the rain with it. I ran out of my car and into the house.

"Miss," the head butler called out to me with a dry towel in hand.

I looked at him and noticed how worried he was about me. I tilted my head to the side, looking at him. He blinked.

"You're all excused for the day." I grabbed the towel from his hand and walked to my room.

I feel him following behind me. I could sense his doubts behind me.

"But miss! It's utterly dangerous for you to stay here alone."

"I'm fine alone. Just lock the door or something."

He was still following me to my room.

"Miss, there are a lot of thieves that come and go whenever there is a storm. They won't pass up this opportunity!" he debated with me.

"I know you're all worried, but come on. You have a family to protect as well." he hesitated for a second before opening his mouth.

But I cut him off.

"The house has sensors all over the place and a laser that's ready to shoot if danger comes. Don't worry too much. Daddy had already thought things through. I'm already big enough to handle my own. Have you forgotten that I know how to protect myself against such scenarios?"

I stopped in front of my door and gave the butler the towel back. He was still looking at me, but this time, I do now know what his expression was. He gripped the towel hard and nodded his head. I could see the side of his lips creak upwards.

"Understood, Miss."

"I want you all out of here in ten minutes. If you're not out of here in ten minutes, you're all fired and don't even bother coming back until the storm subsides."

"Duly noted, Miss. Please stay safe." he bowed his head at me before walking away.

I sighed before entering my room.

"That took everything in me to tell him to get lost. Have I grown too soft for him to not listen to me the first time?" I shook my head before throwing my ass onto the bed.

"I guess you are." I heard Alex's voice.

I jumped as a reaction. I kept looking for them inside my room. My head was turning to every corner, but still I didn't find them. Was I hallucinating Alex's voice? I mean, it's been a month since Alex last talked to me. I'm missing them again. All I could do was slap myself using both of my hands and shake Alex out of my mind.

I've been missing them like crazy, but right now, it seems bearable. Why do I even miss that retard? God, I really do think I've grown soft. How did I change? When did I change into such a soft person? I can't believe I'm a softie now. Is this Joshua's influence? Is it? No, I don't think so.

"Shut it." I played it cool.

It's not the first time I've heard their voice. It's been a long time since the first one. Since the third one, I've been having conversations with the voice. Funny, I know. I can't help it though. Wait! I can. What the actual f**k?

"Aren't you going to search for me?" the voice seemed to have gotten closer to me.

I felt Alex's presence inside the room, but I still shrugged it off. I really think it's all just my imagination. An imagination that was strong enough to project even the presence of Alex.

"Oh, please. I'm just hallucinating. You're not real."

I began undressing to change my clothes. The imaginary Alex stopped talking, which made me smirk. After I stripped off of my clothes and was only wearing my underwear, I heard a door open. And before I knew it, I was pushed to the wall, back first. I heard a thud when my back hit the wall.

"Umph," my voice suddenly came out.

Alex was right before me. Their eyes were searching mine and when our eyes locked, I could feel their stare wander around my body. Alex made sure that both of my hands couldn't do anything while they pinned me to the wall. I had already unclasped my bra behind me. One sway and it would fall.

"Are you provoking me right now, Miss?" Alex softly growled into my ear, sending chills down my spine.

There it was again. Whenever I catch a sniff of Alex's scent, my body goes wild. It was an inevitable reaction. Did they train my body to obey them whenever they're near me? Did they do something to me when I wasn't looking? I hardly believe so. I even want to kiss Alex right now and they're not even moving at the moment.

"What are you doing here?"

Good. My mind is still intact. I can't let arousal take over my mind again. I don't want to be a s*x-slave. Was I already one?

"I missed you so I came here before the storm entered the American atmosphere,"

"The wall is pretty cold. Can you not pin me?"

Alex took one last glance at my body before pecking me on the lips and moving away. When Alex turned around, I turned around as well. My stomach was acting up. I felt jittery, fidgety and unable to contain my smile. I had to bite my lips to stop myself from smiling. I went into my walk-in closet and changed my clothes into something more comfortable.

Good thing the butler gave me a towel before I felt sticky, otherwise I would've needed a bath. While I was putting on clothes, I couldn't help but think about what was about to happen. Alex was there, just outside my walk-in closet. With me. And we're the only ones here in the house.

I can't shoo them away. It was already pouring outside and the wind was angrily hissing, whistling even. It can't be helped. Alex can stay here. I got out of my walk-in closet and saw Alex looking at my gaming set up.

"Don't ask me why I have that, and don't ask me to play with you. I suck at games." I said before sitting on the edge of my bed.

Alex turned around and sat beside me. Alex opened their mouth, then immediately closed it afterwards. Alex looked away and was wearing such an adorable expression. I wasn't quite sure why Alex looked away.

"Why aren't you looking at me?"

"What could possibly be the reason?" Alex asked.

"Why are you asking me? I don't even know."

Alex's shoulders slumped and I heard them sigh. The quietness of the room made me think that I was alone. The heat in-between my legs wasn't there anymore. I was calm and I could think. I wasn't as nervous as when I was changing my clothes.

"Why are you even here?"

Did they even think things through before they decided to infiltrate my house? I couldn't help but doubt Alex's intellectual level. Now that I think about it, it's the first time that we're together and not doing anything s****l. Well, at first, it was s****l, but after that, it was this awkward silence.

"I came to visit?" Alex finally turned my way and I couldn't help but be in awe with Alex's visuals.

Their thick eyebrows were already shaped and there was no need for a trim. Alex's natural pink, thin lips made them look like a prince. The silky smooth hair, shining at its finest, but not because of oil. Alex's hair was so healthy. It was fluffy, but it wasn't curly. It was straight, unlike Alex.

"And what's the purpose of your visit?"

The form of Alex's eyes looked as if Alex had eyes that came from heaven. Everything about Alex looked perfect. Even that prominent jaw of theirs. I haven't seen Alex without their clothes though. I wonder what they're hiding behind their clothing. I shook the thought out of my head. Why am I constantly thinking of lewd things? I can't believe I became such horndog.

"I missed you." Alex caught me off guard. My heart started racing when Alex said that. They sounded so serious and they didn't avert their eyes when they said that. I played it off by rolling my eyes and pushing Alex's handsome face away.

"Who was it that severed our private sessions?" Alex scratched the back of their neck, looking away sheepishly and guiltily.

"Sorry. I had to do something. That's why I'm here now."

I opened my mouth to say that they could've at least texted me, or gave me a call, but then- but then what were we in the first place? Did I have the right to ask that from them? What was I to Alex? What was Alex to me?

I kept quiet.

"What do you want to do?"
