Real Alex

1400 Words
The wedding was a private event with just family members. His Mom Aunt Terry, brother Neil and sister Shelly, Aunt Grace(my Mom's best friend), Uncle David, their daughters Jenny and Anna, their son Tim, My Mom, Dad, Emma, My Uncle Nate, Aunty Sherlene, Mrs. Colton(Alex's grandma), they were all there. Few neighbors and distant cousins were also there, but no media, or un-necessary people. I wanted to throw up at the thought of this wedding, but I have to control. I am again in front of this mansion, but this time not because of dreams. This time it was my revenge which caused me to enter his house. My new family was waiting for me at the door and started showering rose petals the moment I enter the house. A path of petals were laid down showing me the path to his room. How innocent these people are. I will not harm them, I thought. After what felt like eternity, I was finally asked to go to my room, his room to be precise. He changed the door. It was not like the previous one, I think he learnt his lesson that day and decided to change it. "Yeah, I changed the door after your wrist. Didn't want another accident." He told me with a chuckle. I went inside the room and it was nothing I expected. It was not a room, but a 2 bedroom apartment in itself. It has a balcony, which was bigger than my room. Balcony had a garden and a swimming pool. On the right of swimming pool was a outdoor swing, that looked like a rocking chair. And a table, which I guess he uses sometimes for his office work. A punching bag, few workout equipment, which made that corner look like a gym. On the left side was garden. It had a lot of flowers, some of them I never saw in my life. At the edge of garden was a view of the city. I came out of the balcony into the room again. Next to the balcony sliding door was a big couch, big enough to fit 6-8 people. And a TV in the front. Next to TV was a door which must be a separate room. "That's my library. I am sorry but no one is allowed in there. Its finger print protected. Sorry, but that's my private place." he said looking at the ground. His private place, no one was allowed. What was inside. Has he trapped girls in there? Or s*x equipment? I ignored it. I didn't want to think about his sick mentality. In front of the library door, next to the couch was a walk in closet. I saw that he had emptied one side of his closet. I think for me. Next to closet was bathroom I guess. And then there was his bed. I looked at the room again, and he has decorated all the room in black and grey. Just like his heart, I said to myself. There were few indoor plants and paintings on the walls. These were some weird paintings. One of them had a storm on it, and not a normal storm. It looked like it was going to destroy everything in its path. Another one was of a woman, half black and white, and half color. Black and white part had tears in it and the shading was done to indicate eyes were red with tears. While the color part was smiling, full of life. I looked back at him and saw that next to the bedroom door, which was exactly in front of his bed was a portrait, which I think was of his Dad. "Is he your Dad?" "Yes, He is my Dad. I want him to look at me and see if I am doing anything wrong. He is the first one I want to see every morning. He gives me hope to continue my day." Who can say that this person, who talks like this is a bloody rapist. "You should freshen up, and I will ask Roni to bring up all your luggage here. She will help you in setting up your closet." He went out after saying these words. I sat down on the couch as this is the place I will be living for next few months. May be a year, so that he gets habitual of his kid. And then I will leave. "We are having a dinner party tomorrow night. To announce the wedding. Will you come with me for shopping. Can I call you Nicolle now?" Shelly entered the room full of excitement. "You can call me anything you want. I am still the same Nicolle who came here 3 years back. And right now I am tired, may be tomorrow?" I chuckled. She is like a 3 year old kid who is always excited. I like her a lot, but Alex never talks to her. "But then, when will get ready? We have to be ready by 6 in the evening. Alex is hosting the biggest party. All his investors, clients, board of directors, their families, Dad's friends, out friends, basically anyone who is someone is coming." She said while jumping on the bed. "Ok, just give me some time. By the way where is Alex? I need to ask him something." I wanted to ask about doctor's appointment as I was feeling low. "Oh, he went for some work, not office I guess because he was not in his suit." "Seriously, we just landed. Never mind. Let me freshen up and then we will go for shopping." I was feeling low, but seeing her face, I couldn't say no. We went for some shopping, got a lot of dresses. Turns out Alex asked her to take me out for shopping and handed his card to her so we could shop. We were in the car when a wave of dizziness hit me and I fainted. I don't know what happened after that, but when I opened my eyes, I was in the bedroom. A doctor was sitting next to me and Shelly standing in a corner, head hung low. "Shelly..." "You are awake. Good." The doctor got up and walked outside the room. Shelly turned and started to cry hugging me. "Hey, what happened? Why are you crying like this.?" "Alex happened." Aunt Grace entered the room. I looked at her with a puzzled look. What does she mean by Alex happened. "When you fainted in the car, she didn't know. She only thought that you were sleeping. So when you didn't wake up, she panicked and called Alex. He was at home that time. He scolded her badly and said you should have gone for shopping after some time. After some rest. You have not seen him angry. He can scare anyone with this glare. That's why she is crying." I felt so bad and angry at the same time. Poor Shelly was crying because of me and Alex. How can he scold his lil sister. She is just in high school. But then, has he ever cared about anyone else but him. "I will talk to him, please don't cry. I was the one who didn't tell you I was tired. Its not your fault." "Don't pamper her. She did a mistake. She is not a kid who cant understand anything." I saw a deadly glare in his eyes, which I never saw before. He was so cold, icy. He was looking like Snow Queen, who can freeze anyone with his eyes. Snow King I mean. "She don't know anything Alex. Don't yell at her." I told him and he turned towards me. His eyes full of concern now. How can he change his expressions so easily. "Are you Ok? Doctor told me it was stress and fatigue." He eyed towards Shelly once again and then turned towards me. I saw Shelly going out of the room. So this is his real face. This is how he really is. he pretends to be sweet in front of everyone and for his family, he behaves like a stranger. "You should take some rest. I will send your medicines and something to eat." He headed towards his library and closed the door. Roni brought some fruits and medicine for me. I took them and decided to sleep.
