My Most Precious One(76)

“I’m fine, good actually but I’m itching to get back to work.” I said excitedly.

“Ah sweetie we missed you too, but I was calling to see if maybe you wanted some more time off. You still have one more week and I wanted you to enjoy your man over there.” I grew agitated.

“Philip I need the money and I love working there, are you trying to get rid of me?”

He scoffed. “Are you crazy, get rid of you, you’re the head waitress and my sweetheart. I just wanted you to have some more time off. Alexia it’s been a few years and you finally have someone, just enjoy it because when you come back your ass belongs to me.” Lukas stirred looking at me with narrowed eyes, shit he heard the last comment.

“Philip I appreciate why you’re doing this, I really do but I need the money and I really would love to come back. I miss you guys.” I breathed playing with my hair, why was I feeling so insecure right now?

“Alright fine come back to work, usually time.” He huffed.

“Thanks again Philip it really meant a lot to me that you thought of me like that but I’d rather work.” I said softly.

“See you tomorrow. Kisses.” He cried out on the phone.

“Kisses.” I relied.

“If he offered you more time you should have taken it.” Lukas leaned to one side looking at me, propped on his elbow.

“Lukas I need to pay my bills and continue with my life.” I continued to play with my hair. The feeling of being insecure was now plaguing me.

“I know that. I just hated knowing you took time off from work for this, instead of me taking you somewhere exotic and nice, not to nurse the wounds I caused you.” He exhaled. He rolled back covering his eyes with his arm, I put my phone down and scooted over to him. I found my nook the one I missed so much.

“Its fine, I’ll take time off next year, it’s not a big deal.” He took my arms and rolled us over so that he was on top of me.

“Next year? Not a big deal?” He hissed. “Alexia, you are my number one priority, there’s no way I’m going to have you work yourself to the bone as a waitress especially when you will have a masters in archaeology? As for your bills, I’ll pay for them.” He said in a serious tone.

“Thanks but I won’t have you pay for me and what I do with my work doesn’t concern you.” I fired back.

“Like hell it doesn’t, your mine, mine to take care of, mine to protect. I won’t have my woman slaving away when I have more money than that of a small country.” He said bluntly.

“Lukas” I scoffed.

“No discussion Alexia.”

Work was awesome. I missed the girls more than anything, I was glad to be back.

“So where did he take you?” Kaci asked.

“Nowhere, we just spend time together. He needed to work and I thought it be nice to just stay with him.” It was a lie and I rarely lied to Kaci but I just couldn’t tell her what had happened. I didn’t want the pity look. I was going to tell her but not right now.

“I don’t believe you.” She said eyeing me. “You lost a serious amount of weight and you don’t look like you just came off two weeks of sex heaven.” She pulled on my arm took me aside.

“What happened?” She asked.

“Nothing” I squirmed.

She squinted “I call bullshit.” I swallowed hard.

“Later” I finally said. she nodded.

“Damn right later.”

She pointed at her table “I’ll be back, we’ll make plans for tonight, maybe we’ll watch the last twilight movie and make fun of it, like we did the with the rest of them, cool?” I forced a smile. “Ok.” Why did she have to do this to me? I seriously wasn’t in the mood the rehash all this.

Roxi smiled. “So when are you going to tell me what fucken happened you little shit. There is no marathon sex smell on you. Kaci is right something’s up and bitch you are so going to tell me.” She was irritated.

“Kaci is coming over tonight.” I said.

“I’ll call Peter telling him I’m going to your place and you better not fucken lie cause right now I’m so pissed at you.” She walked away leaving me anxious about what exactly would happen tonight when they found out.

“What?” Yelled Roxi.

“You have to be fucken kidding me!” Cried out Kaci. “So after that you stayed here alone?” She hissed.

Roxi stood up and paced “I’m so fucken angry at you right now I can’t see straight, all that shit happened and you didn’t think to call or lean on us.” She stood in front of me. “Oh don’t you dare start crying I swear Lexi, it doesn’t work with me. So now what?” She asked and I shrugged I guess fake tears only work on men.
