Infatuation Of Darkness

Her eyes glistened to over with moisture and her lips trembled a bed. He had kept his eyes open and had ears all around her. His head was still on top of hers and she had an unbearing urge to raise her head and hit his chain hard.

Don't do it, she sighed thinking about the consequences. 

Jerking her head up she hit him hard.

"What the fuck?!" He yelled and moved away. Cupping his chin, he glared at her. "What is wrong with you?!" He bellowed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" She rushed to him and checked. "I don't know what came onto me sorry.." she hissed as she rubbed his chin. "I just couldn't resist. I've seen it in the movies.."

He scowled. "Really what kind of idiot do you think I am?"

She pulled the puppy, innocent eyes on him. "I'm sorry.." she whispered and hugged him closer, kissing his chest. 

He nodded and she felt it. Smiling she let go and pulled him onto the bed. Cuddling close, he put his head into her neck and she absentmindedly ran her fingers through his hair.

He had no idea about what she did..had he?

The clock went ticking and moving further into the night but Alexis stayed awake even the body screamed from the tiredness. She had waited for the Angelo to fall deep into his sleep and now she was sure that he had. Whenever he felt deep into he would often roll around and move away from her to sleep on his own.

She swiftly got up from the bed and without putting on her shoes she took them in her hand and walked out of the room. She tiptoed across the hall to the stairs into Elijah's room without knocking first.

Still trying to get comfortable in the new bad which was waste soft than the one he was sleeping and before Elijah briefly opened his eyes and saw someone hovering over him.

"Fmn!" Open his mouth to scream but was silenced by hand. Light flooded into the room and he closed his eyes in relief as he saw that it was Alexis.

She removed her hand and he growled in displeasure. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"Me?" She frowned. "This is the time to talk." She switched off every other light to the lamp. Its soft glow could be used as a night light.

"At-" he glanced at the time. "Two-thirty in the morning?" He winced. "Alexis. I'm jetlagged girl please.."

"Shut up!" She hissed and took a seat beside him having him move further. "Now is the time to talk because literally, everyone is sleeping. From Angelo to Agatha and the guards too. Everyone."

He thought about it and a question popped into his mind. "Agatha too? She is your maid. Why would she tell anything to anyone?"

Alexis sighed. "I cannot trust anyone. Who knows who belongs to which side anymore? For all I know, she is out to please me for Angelo." She didn't like the thought but the possibility of it was pretty huge.

"What now?" He asked running a hand thought his face as he yawned. "please hurry I want to sleep."

She smacked him in return, "As if I don't want to sleep right? Anyway, tomorrow we are going to go to Jayden's house." She declared looking at him for his reaction.

"The hell?" He hissed. "Why all of a sudden? Shouldn't we wait? Won't it be suspicious?"

"No." She whispered. "I'll take you out to some sights or so..and then you would want to see a friend." She shrugged innocently. "Like a family friend that I know too."

"What family friend?" He asked as he brushed through his memory. "Do I know him?"

She turned around abruptly making him flinch and stared hard at him. "Are you serious?"

He looked down for a second, "yes." He confirmed.

"Like seriously?" She asked again making him feel stupid. "I'm talking about Jayden!" She hissed.

"Fuck.." he cried, "see I need to sleep. So please just lemme sleep."

She sighed at his annoying crying. He was always like this. "Fine." She hit him with a pillow. "Bye."

He grinned cheekily. "Bye."

She sighed and moved out. Around round the stairs she moved up and came across Angelo's office.

Something beckoned her in, calling her towards it, inside and...

She shook her head and herself out of it. There was no need for something like this and what is she thinking?

'He's one hell of an intelligent man. There is no way that he would ever have anything kept inside the house that I could or anyone use against him.' She bit her lip thinking about it. 'He would have it all locked in a safe or something of sorts.'

Yet the door seemed way to inviting. She wished that she was not making a mistake like Hansel and Gretel. But she would walk into a house of chocolate any day so she couldn't blame them.

But..she is his wife, wasn't she?

Yes, she is.

So that meant that she is allowed to know what going on, inside the bedroom and outside it.

'I'm his other-better half after all.' she mused. She had half the right on his everything and at least she acknowledged it like that unlike him taking a hundred per cent of everything. 

Her right foot stepped forward and moved in a trance towards the door. There must be something that she could find. If nothing for her to use then some dirty laundry of his that she could air in front of people. 

Turning around the knob she stepped in. 

Elijah turned around and groaned in annoyance as the cold air seeped into the room and made him shiver. He had lived in Switzerland and it was cold there in comparison but he had a thicker blanket than this and also wore a thick night suit. Here he didn't and had underestimated. 

He got up and cursed his sister for not closing the door. He looked out and around for people who might be watching him but there was no one, he sighed in relief. That man seemed paranoid and he won't be surprised if his room was bugged. 

"Shit!" He swore.. He had to get to Alexis.
