Placing his hand on my lower back, Alexander leads me into the reception area of the restaurant where a man stands behind a pedestal.

"Welcome and how may I help you?." The man says kindly, looking from me to Alexander.

Alexander's grip on my waist slightly increasing as he replies back.

"We have a reservation under the name of Alexander James."

The man's eyes widen in alarm before he quickly nods his head and grabs two menus.

"Please follow me sir."

What was that all about?

As we walk into the main area of the restaurant I see everyone looking at us.

Well by us I mean Alexander.

The women all look at him like they want to devour him and that certainly doesn't sit well with me.

I try to glare at some of them without Alexander noticing but I seemingly fail as he presses me further into his side.

The man leads us to table in the corner, next to the window for which I am grateful.

He places both the menus on each side of the table before smiling at us and telling us that our waiter will be with us in a moment and with that he quickly walks away, back to his post.

I go to sit down at my seat but am stopped as Alexander tugs me to face him.

I frown in confusion as he looks somewhat angry.

Before I can ask him what's wrong, he pulls me closer to him and slams his lips down on mine.

I stand still, shocked but as Alexander bits on my lower lip I comply and kiss him back.

We both part and my face flushes as some people stare back at us with astonished looks on their faces.

Still not letting me go, Alexander pecks me on the lips once more.

"That'll teach them for staring at you." He says with a clenched jaw.

"Eh?" I spill out unintelligently.

"The men were staring at you." He says as he pulls out my chair and motions for me to sit down before placing himself in his own seat.

Thanking him, I scoff in disbelief.

"Me? Yeah right. All the women were staring at you like they've never seen a man before." I say in contempt, still eyeing some of the women.

Alexander smiles a charming smile as he grabs a hold of my hand.

"I only have eyes for you babe." He says as he winks at me.

Blushing bright red in the face, I simply nod and grab the menu, pretended to understand half the dishes that were written on it.

The waiter comes and asks for our order and almost as if seeing my apprehension Alexander orders for me.

"Thanks" I say and he nods.

Stroking his thumb against my hand, a warm feeling runs through me.

"I've told you how beautiful you look tonight right?" He says.

I nod, knowing my cheeks won't be cooling down anytime soon.

All throughout the date Alexander had been the definition of a gentleman.

We both swapped stories of our childhoods and I learnt quite a lot about him.

He told me of how his parents were always busy working abroad. His father an entrepreneur quite like Alexander while his mother had her very own boutique.

Both the kids had gone after their parents, profession wise.

Even though their parents were basically never at home, Alexander had told me that they didn't feel neglected or abandoned since Stella and him both knew that their parents were out there making a living.

I could tell just then and there the amount of maturity Alexander held even from a young age.

I was also apparently right when I had said Alexander and Stella were the closest of siblings.

He had said that Stella was the first person whom she had gone to to open up about her sexuality, fearing that their parents would go against her.

But they all embraced her and loved her the same.

When it came to me everything was pretty much the same albeit on a rather slimed down scale.

I told Alexander how my father was a carpenter with his very own shop back home and how my mother was an almost stereotypical house wife.

Life back home had been so calm and peaceful.

A feeling of home sickness courses through me but I focus back on Alexander who places money into the small cash book.

"I feel bad." I say to Alexander.

He looks at me in surprise.

"What why?"

"I should've gone halves with you but I forgot my purse back home."

Alexander rolls his eyes at me and says "I asked you out and so I'm paying. Now come on lets go."

I stand up, not wanting to argue over something silly and let Alexander guide me to the entrance.

I almost let a smile slip through as Alexander hold my hand and pulls me incredibly close to him, muttering under his breath.

We both head over to his car and he drives me home.

Halfway through the drive I notice that we are most definitely not going towards my house.

"Where are we going?" I question Alexander, not knowing where he's taking me as he's full of surprises.

"Well I thought why let the party end there and so I'm taking you back to my place." Alexander says jokingly.

"You know that's what happens in nearly every horror movie and then the girl ends up dead." I say back with a straight face.

"Oh I know." He says ominously before erupting into laughter.

I scoff and then realize what he said.

"Wait, I can't come back to your place."

"And why not?" He says rolling his eyes like I've said it a hundred times.

Well maybe I have but still, that's beside the point.

"Because I don't know, it's not something you do on a first date. I mean I'm not saying you have to take me on anymore dates, well not if you don't want me to I mean if you want me to I don't really know but like still it's kind of unprofessional and I'm not ready to have sex with yo-"

Alexander shuts me up by kissing me, almost as if it's a reflex action I kiss him back.

The same sparks reunite between us and I feel like a starved animal with the intensity he kisses me with.

Pulling back, he un does his seatbelt and then mine before lifting me and placing me on his lap.

Only now do I realize we've already reached his house and are parked in his driveway.

My focus goes back onto him as I realize I am currently straddling him.

He doesn't even let me go red in embarrassment as he kisses me once more, biting on my lower lip to allow him entrance into my mouth.

I do so and he doesn't hesitate to slip his tongue into my mouth to play with mine.

Releasing me from his hold, he slowly starts places kisses down my jaw till he reaches my neck and starts nibbling and sucking on the skin.

Gasping for air, a slight stinging sensation is felt on my skin as he blows air onto it and I know I'm going to be sporting a large bruise tomorrow.

"We have to stop," he says hoarsely "I won't be able to help myself otherwise, damn." He winces.

I almost ask him whats wrong but then I realize exactly what had happened.

His not so little member wasn't being exactly discreet as he poked against my leg.

I start to giggle while Alexander glares at me.

"Cold showers aren't fun Nora."

And with that full blown giggles escape from me.

"You're so awkward Nora."

**********

Entering Alexander's room I try to make him let me sleep on the sofa.

"Nope Nora, this isn't even the first time we're sleeping together. Jeez don't stress about it. I won't do anything."

I wasn't worried about him, it was me I was worried about and my wandering hands.

I could almost imagine Alexander kicking me out of bed for groping him.

Knowing there was no way out of this without embarrassing myself, I agree.

I take the clothes out of his outstretched hand and go into the bathroom to change, deciding to skip the pants as they are too big on me and keep slipping down, I just wear his shirt that reaches mid thigh.

I haven't even fully stepped out of the bathroom when I hear Alexander groan.

"Mother fu-, you really aren't helping me with the whole cold shower situation Nora." He grumbles.

I just laugh and go over to the bed where my pillow fortress separates the two sides of the bed.

Slipping into the covers as Alexander steps out of the bathroom all changed, he just smirks at the pillows and gets into bed after turning the light off.

Not even five minutes later does he throw all the pillows to the ground and come closer to me.

"Seriously Alexander?"

He doesn't even reply but slips his arm around my waist and pulls me closer to him, not resisting any longer, I snuggle into his chest.

Just as I am about to fall asleep, I mumble out a "night Alexander."

"Good night angel."

And with that Alexander places a kiss to my forehead as I finally fall asleep.
