I Want You

CHAPTER 4

Alex’s POV

“Hey guys, you see that brunette over there?” Beck said.

“Yeah?” Danny replied as they stared in that direction.

“Word on the street… no guy has ever gotten past a ‘hi’ from her.” Beck said.

“You sure about that? Even for Alex?” Declan said raising an eyebrow.

“What for me?—I said walking in —Apologies guys, had to grab my phone and tie up some loose ends of a deal.” I said requesting for a drink.

“Alex Drake what other loose ends can you tie if not that of the clothes of a female” And they all burst into laughter.

I stared at my friends and chuckled. “I wonder if you guys know that I can have anybody I want”

But not her. My subconscious me.

“Yes we know Alex. I mean you are worth billions. You either own a company or knew the person who owned the company. You are a success in everything you do and the business of women is not an exception. We know you can talk even the devil to move out of hell but the brunette is as stubborn as a mule” when Declan finished, the guys were already laughing.

“Oh thank you for the Ego boost” I replied with a fake bow and a hand on my chest.

“Beck thinks that you can’t get that girl over there” Declan said taking a sip of his drink. I smiled.

“Yeah yeah, I know you are the greatest playboy that ever graced earth but you see that brunette— Beck grinned— will ruin your record” he finished.

“Guys please, I came here to have drinks my buddies. Just you guys. No females, can we respect that” I said. That was not really the truth. Aliya has not really been replying my messages. She left the last one on read.

“And after all, it’s not us it’s them, I mean look around you. I can feel these babes boring holes through my back” I said.

“Are you backing out?” beck asked

“Oh please Beck, you know Alex can do this” Declan said.

“Yea I know he can but I would just want to watch him try” Danny said in a daring tone.

“Me too” Beck replied chuckling.

“Alright guys, I would do it but I want Beck's newest baby” I said

“You want my car? You can have it but it would be on one condition?” Beck said.

“What?” Declan said.

“You get her laid. A picture of her on the bed will be proof” Beck said.

“Damn bro!” Danny said laughing.

“Say goodbye to your car bro” Declan said smirking. I smiled as I checked my phone for the Umpteenth time. No reply. I was getting bored of the silence.

“Why are you silent?” I typed.

10 minutes later, there was no reply. Boredom was eating me up.

“I’ll do it but the only problem here is, she could fall in love with me and follow me around like a puppy” I said standing. My friends laughed and watched me leave. They stared on as I engaged the brunette in a conversation. The lady tipped her head over in laughter at what I was saying.

This was going to be easy.

I winked at my friends, as I had a hand in the small of her back, while we walked out of the bar.

*********************************************

I called the reception, ordering breakfast.

As I ate, I watched the brunette on the bed with tousled hair. She was still asleep. I groaned as the memories of last night flooded my memory. She was good with her mouth. She had almost matched my energy.

I took out my phone and began clicking away. I got just enough proof. Immediately I forwarded it to my friends. I yawned. Maybe it was not be a good idea to wake sleeping beauty up.

Dressed in immaculate white shirt and a black plain trousers, I was ready for work. I sipped my coffee at a very slow pace as I watched the city wake up from the high rise window of the hotel. Mornings were my favorite part of the day. I needed to get my head in one place because I had a very important deal to close.

“Anna, get Mr. Singh on the phone, I’m on my way to the office” he ordered my secretary. I took one last look at the brunette on the bed, sighed and left.

True to my name, I closed that deal. It was easier than I thought.

I walked into my office after giving orders that I did not want to be disturbed. It’s about time I called these guys. Just as he was about to dial Beck's number, my Assistant opened the door.

“Sir I’m so sorry to interrupt but we have your mother on the other line.” She said as her eyes pleaded with him.

“It’s alright I’ll take it” I said dismissing her. I groaned. Honestly mum was kind of like a pain these days. I dropped his phone and picked the other.

“Yes mum. What can I do for you” I said rolling my eyes.

“Alexander Andre Drake, I want to see you right this instant!” and the line went dead. I couldn’t believe it but I still had to go. The doctor said her blood pressure increased during the last checkup.

Told my assistant to clear my day.

I got to my mother’s in the next ten minutes.

“Hi mum” I said and went to kiss her cheek but she turned away.

“What is this thing you told Miranda? You just wanted to have fun with her?!— Her voice rose— I send you girls every month but the story is always same. What is wrong with you? — Her voice softened–You are all I have got and I am getting older. I need a grandbaby” then she began crying.

“Mom I don’t want to marry anyone of them” I said as I tried to hold her hands but she stopped me.

“Please. Don’t touch me. I am not ready to be your mother until you bring home a girlfriend and then a baby” my mother said and walked out.
