“Right. Danny will be at your house at 6pm, if you would still like to use the Limo?”
“Oh thanks, yes if it’s still alright?”
He nodded, smiled ever so slightly and moved aside, I stepped into the elevator and the doors closed. Shit, that was beyond awkward, he really does hate me. He’s done with you Alexis, you flirted and dick teased him for far too long, and he’s done.
Was it really such a surprise that I was in this awful fucked up situation? I had been couped up for 9 years at home with my housework and Bold and the Beautiful and as soon as I faced temptation, I gave in. There was never the intention of taking it any further, because I couldn’t and he has now realised this, probably thanks to Ms Fucking Carrot-Top Jessica. I have fucked up my career and possibly my marriage for that matter, what I have done will eat at me and eventually I will have to confess.
Oh Shit, the note, Fuck. I need to get it back, Alexis you’re a fool. He’s obviously fed up with my indecision and doesn’t want me anymore and I have basically poured my heart out to him on a stupid freakin sticky note. Ok options are, go back up and hope he hasn’t gone to his room yet, he probably went straight to his office. I could sneak in and get it before he has even seen it, or hop in the Porsche and high tail the fuck out of here and deal with it Monday in the hope he has forgotten all about it and providing I even have a job by that stage, shit! The elevator stopped abruptly, I was ready to get out thinking I was in the basement when it started to go back up. What the? I pressed the basement 4 button again but it wouldn’t light up. Oh Shit, Crap, Balls, he’s found it! The elevator came to a stop, if there was ever a moment I wanted super powers, it was now; invisibility, or Spiderman super-suction so I could hide against the roof. The doors opened and he was standing there holding my sticky note. Get in first, Alexis.
“Before you say anything, I’m sorry. I’m fucking fucked in the head and I’m a dick tease and I’m pathetic and I understand.”
I gave him the keys to the Porsche and walked past him, I kept babbling shit about not being ready to go back to work because my legs were just like a can opener and turning to goo when I was faced with the hottest man on earth, I kept walking and babbling till I reached my desk and started grabbing my personal things, he just stood there and watched. I had been in my own little bubble of confusion and humiliation, that I had not noticed the massive smirk on his face.
“So, I just want to apologise for arousing and tormenting and……..” Why the fuck is he smirking at me? I have just completely confessed to falling for him, teasing him and fucking him around and he is smirking.
“I love you Alexis.”
What? Is he insane? I stood speechless and frowed at him from utter shock.
“I love you Alexis and you love me.” He walked over and scooped me up in his arms, he took me back into his apartment and into the private elevator, he elbowed basement 4 and we began to descend.
“You don’t love me, you can’t love me after what I’ve put you through, I’m teasing you, you can’t love me.”
“Alexis Hunny, I’m not confused about my feelings for you at all, they are set in stone and will not change. You love Rick but you love me too and you can’t admit that until we can openly share time together. Go on your Girls Weekend, have a great time and when you get back I will have made the impossible, possible.”
He put me down next to the Porsche and opened the door; I took back the keys and got in. I was stunned and couldn’t say anything, the confused frown I had upstairs was still plastered on my face and remained that way until I pulled out of the basement car park.
Danny pulled up in the Limo, not too long after I got home. I was still thinking about what Bryce had said. Why is it he understands the way I am and feel better than I do? Make the impossible, possible? What did he mean by that? Alexis, wipe it from your head, no more Bryce, no more Rick, weekend with girls, weekend with girls. I kept repeating weekend with girls in my head in the hope it would work and take my mind off the alternative.
“Danny, would you mind taking Nate and Charli for a ride around the block for 5 minutes, I’m not quite ready.”
“Certainly Ms Summers.” He opened the door and Nate and Charli jumped in.
“Right, no mucking around or Danny will lock you in and bring you straight home, won’t you Danny?” He nodded and smiled in my direction, I waved goodbye as he pulled away. Rick was in the kitchen cooking pasta; he was so sweet and really was a wonderful husband and father. I walked up, kissed him on the shoulder and wrapped my arms around him. Glancing around, the house was spotless, the rubbish was out, the dishes were put away, the washing was folded and he had even picked up our dry cleaning, and here I was leaving for the weekend to drink alcohol and let my hair down with my friends. Rick had been so good to me, even the changes he had to make to allow me to go back to work had not been a problem for him in the slightest.
