Fake Crying
He looked at her breasts with wide eyes, Simon was starting to come forward, but Alexander pushed him back. She had perfect breasts Alexander thought. She took one of her small hands and placed her fingers around her nipple, squeezing it the way Alexander had done.
It took all his strength to look away from her. “Pull up your blouse Greta. …..now.” His voice cracked when he gave her the order. She had that painful look of being rejected after making a bold move like she did.
“Okay. But you were touching me when we kissed” she said softly, feeling like she failed at getting him in her bed.
“I know what I did, it was a mistake. Simon was touching you not me.” Lying to her, Simon was irritated when he heard Alexander lie blaming it on him when it was really Alexander.
She knew it wasn’t Simon. “No, it wasn’t, it was you don’t even try lying to me.” Sniffling, wanting him to know she knew it was him. Looking down at her skirt, she was smoothing it out with her hands. She suddenly became nervous. Sensing Alexander was going to bolt on her.
Looking at the window, knowing it was getting darker outside. Turning her face towards Alexander, smiling slightly and shrugging her shoulders. “I just wanted you to know how I felt, that’s all.”
“I just don’t Greta, I can’t love you or care for you. It’s just not possible.”
She felt like she just lost, maybe she wasn’t as good as she thought she was. But Greta doesn’t give up easily. She was positive he cared for her in her past life, and he killed everyone that miss treated her. So she can make him care again. Anything to not marry that old bastard again.
Alexander could feel the waves crash against the boat as they stood in the narrow hallway facing each other. He could tell by the window that the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon. Wishing he was on the top deck feeling the ocean spray on his skin. Anywhere actually but where he was. Not wanting to face Greta any longer.
He had to admit he was shocked when she confessed her love for him. He felt guilty for not reciprocating her feelings, but he felt like she was bewitched by Simon. He could understand why, Simon was just that type of leopard. He could make any woman fall in love with him. Trying to come to terms with the unexpected events he tried to keep a clear head. He did not respond to her confession and could see the hurt in her eyes.
Foot steps was tapping on the wood while they were talking, When Alexander finally realized someone was walking towards them, they both went silent. Looking over Greta’s shoulder she saw Minty walking towards them.
“Hey, you guys, Looks like a deep discussion going on.” As she passed, Minty patted Greta’s shoulder. Minty could tell there was something going on between the two. Not sure what but could tell Greta was avoiding him earlier and it seemed like Alexander came looking for her. They would make such a cute couple, Carl liked Alexander also but when Greta turned to look at Minty she could tell Greta was crying. “What’s the matter?” Minty asked, her hand on Greta’s shoulder.
