Chapter 83 His☆
♤Alezandra's P.O.V ♤
I didn’t think it through, not even for a second.
Fuck.
The moment the idea sparked I let it took over my entire body and before I knew it, I was moving before logic could catch up.
My heels struck the pavement in quick beats as I ran, my breaths were heavy in my chest as I panted, my racing pulse was loud enough to drown out everything that was happening in the garden. The air felt different from before, now carrying the weight of emotions and something reckless. It was exhilarating, and by the time I reached the car, I was already half‐laughing, half‐gasping from the rush of it all.
I yanked the passenger door open so hard it nearly bounced back at me, but I caught it and practically threw myself inside‐ my body folding into the seat in the most graceless way. The door slammed shut behind me with a heavy click‐ sealing me inside before I even realized what I'd done... or what I hadn’t. It wasn’t until the car lurched forward that I felt the faint yet persistent tug at the back of my head.
My veil had been caught in the door, but Andrea was already grinning, a genuine smile that reached his eyes causing the corners to crinkle in a way that made something warm bloom in my chest despite the madness. He looked over at me like this... like I was something wild, like he'd just unlock a new version of me, and God help me, cause I couldn’t held back my excitement anymore. A giggle slipped from my lips, the sound escaping my throat before I could stop it.
I was content, and that was all the encouragement he needed.
Andrea floored the gas pedal and the engine roared to life beneath us, its sound deep and powerful vibrating through the car. The Lamborghini surged forward down the long driveway, the sudden acceleration causing my back to press into the leather seat and stealing what little air I had left in my lungs‐ and holy shit‐ my heart shot straight into my throat as the speed climbed rapidly.
We were going too fast‐ way too fast, if it was any other time, I'd yell at him to slow down, but right now I was too happy, and I didn't wanna ruin that.
The numbers on the dash kept rising and I swore we had to be hitting 100 mph as the world outside blurred into streaks of grey and green. The driveway seemed to stretch endlessly ahead of us but Andrea handled it with ease, with his hands steady on the wheel and his focus on the path ahead of us‐ even as the grin refused to leave his face.
He didn’t slow down until the very last moment, easing off just enough to glance both ways before steering us onto the main street smoothly maneuvering the beast of a car. He seemed relaxed behind the wheel, driving almost effortless, like he had done this a hundred times before.
The window was down and the rush of wind flooded the car, whipping strands of hair across my face and rippling through the layers of my gown. I had to keep my arms wrapped around the bundle of dress, holding it close so it wouldn’t spill over and block Andrea’s view through the windshield. It was a pretty big, hideous dress, and being squeezed into a Lamborghini with all this fabric wasn’t exactly helping.
It was only when I turned slightly, catching the side mirror was when I saw that my veil was still trapped in the door‐ flailing in the wind and battering against the side of the car violently as we're speeding. It looked ridiculous and completely ruined.
Stuck in disbelief, another fit of giggles erupted at the sight, as expected a few seconds later it hit me all at once.
The absurdity of it all, the adrenaline still coursing through my veins, the way everything had spiraled so quickly... everything collided and I broke. The giggle turned into full blown laughter, spilling out of me uncontrollably as I doubled over slightly, one hand pressing against my chest in attempts to steady myself.
Andrea glanced over then and I caught the way he was trying AND failing to hold his own laughter in. His lips pressed together and his jaw tightening but his eyes gave him away, they were bright with amusement and something so close to what was happening to me this very moment.
He looked fucking ridiculous trying not to laugh.
I threw my head back against the seat, letting the laughter out louder now, so unlady‐like and completely unrestrained.
"Oh‐ hahaa.. my fucking shit‐ haaha.. I’m gonna piss and die in this fucking ugly dress if I can’t‐ haaa... I can’t sstt‐ haahaa... stop laughing‐ haaaa.. O‐oh my God!”
That did it...
My words came out broken and tangled between bursts of giggles, cackles and laughter with my breath growing more shaky as tears streamed down my face. I could feel mt nose running and my chest tightening from the lack of air, but every time I tried to pull myself together it only made it worse. The more I became aware of how ridiculous I looked, the harder I laughed causing my entire body to vibrate.
By the time we pulled up to a stoplight somewhere off a back road I didn’t recognize, I was barely holding it together. The car became still and quiet with the engine idling as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened.
Andrea turned to face me fully then, taking his time as he looked me over. His gaze assessing every detail carefully, the smeared makeup beneath my eyes, the way my chignon hairstyle had come undone, the wrinkled, disheveled, fucking ugly dress, then finally the veil still caught outside fluttering helplessly.
For a brief moment, it looked like he might actually say something but instead his composure cracked completely and he laughed. The sound that came from him was unfiltered matching mine. His broad shoulders shook as the sound tore out of him‐ rough and genuine. Within seconds Andrea was just as gone as I was‐wheezing, struggling to breathe and completely without zero fucks to give.
If we got pulled over, it would’ve been way too easy for anyone to assume we were high.
And so, here we are sitting at a red light on some unfamiliar road, both of us falling apart in the aftermath of our own impulsive escape with laughter filling the car so completely it felt like there was no room left for anything else.
Holy crap!
