Chapter 38: Chapter 38:

G"So let's get on with the first aid shall we?" Alec says and takes the first aid box. He opens it and brings out a bundle of cotton wool and a few band aids. He adds some antiseptic wipes as well.

"Did you get a fracture when you fell?" He asks concerned

"No. Just a bruise"

He applies some liniment on the surface of the wound on my left knee and I grimace in pain. At the same time, I felt a pit of fire in my stomach whenever his fingers made contact with my skin.

"This wound is so deep"Alec says with a grimace referring to the one on my left knee.

"Sorry" he says and takes my right palm and applies some there. I groan.

"There" he says and takes the band aids. He puts them on the wounds

It wasn't so bad.

"Okay I'm done"he says proudly and packs his stuff.

" thanks doc"I taunt and he grins.

"You have been a very good patient! Do you want a lollipop?" He asks with a proud smile.

"No" I reply and he laughs.

"I could give you one! You'll enjoy it" he says seductively and I swallow hard.

"I'm sorry but I'm not into candies doc! Maybe another time" I say with a smirk and he laughs harder.

"You are such a pervert!" I spit in his face and he kneels down laughing whiles holding his tummy.

"Come on Nikki! I meant a real lollipop! The candy one not the one you are thinking about! That means you are the pervert here "Alec spits.

I can't believe my ears. He's calling me a....

" Listen up Russell! You were the one who was being all .....I don't know! But you are the pervert"I reply.

He smirks at me and brings out a lollipop from his candy jar. He waves it in my face.

"See! I wasn't kidding! I really had this on me" he says and I scoff.

I know Alec! He didn't mean that kind of candy!

"Well then! Give it to me" I spit and he hands it to me.

"Enjoy it" he spits and leaves to the bathroom

"Oh and you can join  me if you want Nikki" he adds and winks at me before disappearing into the room.

I groan and just lick my lollipop.

I scan his bedroom. This is the second time I've been in his room. His bed is huge and covered with black and white sheets, there are many pictures of him on the walls from childhood till now, he has a desk with a pencil jar on top together with an apple laptop and I see something like a locker.

Curiosity gets the best of me

and I walk to the locker. I turned the key in front and opened it to reveal a collection of men's watches. I gasp. How rich is this guy? He keeps on surprising me. I guess Jake's father is worth billions to give his son all these. I wonder what his closet will look like.

"Ooh! Looks like someone is checking  out my watch collection" Alec spits and I shut the locker hurriedly.

"Don't have a heart attack sugar!" He teases wearing a sleek bathrobe. His hair is moist and he looks so fresh maybe.

"I wasn't checking out your watch collection!" I chide him and he chuckles

"So what were you doing then?" He asks applying some cologne on his body making the whole place smell like rose petals.

"I was just looking at it" I reply

"Isn't it the same as checking out?" Alec asks and I realise how stupid my answer was.

"How did you get such an elegant watch collection?" I blurt and he chuckles.

"My dad got it for me" he says with a shrug.

"Its sick! I would kill to have such a watch collection! Damn!" I spit and he laughs

"I guess am one lucky guy" Alec says proudly and I roll my eyes.

"Errrr can you leave so that I can dress up?" He asks with a smile playing about his pink lips.

"No doctor! I want to see you dress" I taunt and he chuckles.

"Okay! But you better not scream" he says and begins to untie his bathrobe

I shriek and head for the door.

"Won't you stay and watch me dress up?" Alec teases as I leave the room.

"No! I'm fine" I holler and leave to the hall earning a chuckle from him. He was so goofy!

I entered the kitchen. I was starving. I wonder what they have here.

I look through the groceries and decide to prepare gnocchi dumplings and tomato bake. Am sure Alec wouldn't be bothered seeing me cook in his kitchen.

I gathered all the ingredients and began to work on them. Potatoes there, eggs here, cheese there....

This is going to take sometime. I start with the potatoes.

"Awwwm, my girlfriend is cooking for me?" Someone coos at the doorway and I roll my eyes. Who else apart from Alec calls me girlfriend.

"No! I'm cooking for myself" I reply.

"Oh really?" Alec says with a smirk and walks towards me in a white tee shirt and a pair of dark jeans.

"Yes! So you need to cook your own food dear 'boyfriend' " I say making air quotes on the word boyfriend.

He chuckles

"These ingredients are many! There's no way you were preparing the food for yourself only"Alec says

defensively and I growl.

He smiles proudly.

" so what are you preparing buttercup?"

"Gnocchi dumplings and tomato bake" I say with a shrug.

"Mm. Nice! So chewy and band" He says and I chuckle.

"We better hurry up because I'm starving" I state.

"Yeah me too"

Alec and I work together. I hear the doorbell ring.

"Who could it be?" Alec scoffs

"I'll be back"he adds and leaves the kitchen.

I continued to cook. I checked the time on my watch and its eighteen minutes past twelve. Its noon. I should have been in school right now. I need to call my parents and explain to them why I couldn't come home yesterday. I know they'll probably think l stayed over at a friend's house but they don't know what really happened.

I'm finally done cooking and I take the food to the dining hall. Alec isn't back yet. Curiosity was getting the best of me. Why isn't he back? Was he attacked? I walked to the hall and I hear a heated argument.

" Just go Madison! I'm tired of your threats! You're just a big fat liar!"Alec spits raucously at the person who I knew was called Madison.

"Oh so now you're kicking me out of your life? You're horrible! I should have known you"  Madison retaliates.

"I'm fed up! Okay? Stop bothering me!" Alec yells at her.

"I don't care! I'm gonna make sure you stay with me and only me!" Madison spits and a lump forms in my throat. I suddenly want to see who she is and if she goes to our school. Is she the same Madison Jake's father was talking about? I walk to the front door. Alec stood rooted at the doorway with a tall chick with neck length dark hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black tank top with grey shorts.

Her eyes land on me and I see her smile evilly.

"Oh!  I now see why you're behaving like this! Because of her right?" She says and points at me. I'm still confused with what is going on

Alec turns to look at me wide eyed.

Madison laughs and Alec looks at her.

"Just disappear okay? I'm tired" Alec tells her.

"You're tired?" Madison spits venomously

"Nikki! Can you please leave us alone? I'll be with you in a jiffy" Alec says sweetly.

I nod but Madison laughs again and I'm rooted to the spot.

"Oh Alec! You never change! You act so good and sweet like a saint! But you're not"

Alec's jaw clenches

"I guess you dumped Kate! And now you are trying to get into this one's pants as well"  Madison says and Alec grabs her neck making me flinch.

"You better watch your words Madison!" He warns.

"You're choking me" she complains and he let's her go. She coughs.

"Get out!" He commands

"I'm not going anywhere until you listen to me"  Madison yells back.

"Listen to me sweetheart! If you know what's best for you, I advice you drop this guy like an itchy sweater! He's a monster!"  Madison warns me and I feel a pit of fire in my stomach.

"Stop Madison!" Alec yells. His eyes darker now.

"I won't stop! She needs to know! Everyone knows you are a player! You get into girls pants and you dump them! Not wanting anything to do with them! Then you get another girl telling them you love them when its actually a lie you pervert! I'm not going to allow that now that I'm pregnant you asshole!" Madison yells and I'm dumbstruck.

She's pregnant? Alec too is shocked. I looked at her tummy and its protruded a little.

"You're pregnant?" Alec asks softly.

"Yes I am! Three months" she replies.

"That's not possible! You were on birth control right?" Alec says sober.

"I was but I made a little mistake one day and the last thing I remember was that day, I was with you" Madison spits.

Alec is a teenage father? I just gasp

"How sure are you?" Alec asks

"Very sure! I wouldn't lie about this!" Madison  says.

Alec rubs his face tiredly.

"Fuck!" He yells and punches the wall hard making me flinch quickly.

I can't believe all that I've heard today.

"Do your parents know?" Alec spits.

"Yeah. They were mad"

Alec sighs.

"This cannot happen right now!" He yells and ruffles his hair.

"We have to talk about this! We need to figure something out" Alec says. Madison nods.

"Nikki! Can you please go home? I'll see you later" Alec says and I nod. I look at Madison once over before leaving.

"I hope you haven't gotten into her pants yet" Madison scoffs

"No Madison" I hear Alec say.

I stop a cab get in. After preparing some delicious gnocchi dumplings, this had to happen! Now I'm going home still starving.

I got down at McDonald's and

sat down and placed my order.

Later the waiter brings my burgers and I eat them hungrily. My stomach grumbles as I eat but no one seems to hear it.

💜💜💜

Alec POV:

Madison and I have been secretly having a relationship behind our parent's back. I know she's the daughter of my father's best friend. I thought our relationship could work but it failed and I left her and moved on with Kate. I thought she could be the perfect girlfriend for me! But I couldn't bear her rebellious attitude anymore! Kate was also a good start up but she just wanted me for my money! She didn't love me so I got rid of her. She sent me apology letters and stuff but I ignored and rejected them all.

The last time I met Madison was at a park to give her, her birthday present. After that we had a series of fights and I finally announced it was over between us! But now she shows up and tells me she's three months pregnant right in my face and Nikki was there too.

We are currently sitting at the dining hall and she's guzzling the gnocchi dumplings Nikki and I prepared. Nikki should be here eating those with me! Not her!  And now, I'm in a fix! If my dad finds out I got his friend's daughter pregnant, he's gonna be so mad

I hope her father doesn't know its me or he'll tell my father.

"So does your father know that the child you are expecting is mine?" I drawl.

"No he doesn't! He forces me to spill it out but I can't say it! But the moment I do spill, he'll tell your father" she replies and eats.

I heave a sigh of relief. He doesn't know but I'll still be doomed if my dad finds out! I need to come up with a plan.

"These are so delicious? Was it that girl who prepared them?" Madison asks and I nod miserably.

"Wow! Yummy" she says and takes in more. Her pregnancy is making her eat much more than I expected.

My Mom too is going to be extremely disappointed in me if she hears this!  I'm in deep shit!

"Don't tell anyone about this especially the father of that child" I warn her.

She chuckles in my face.

"You think its going to be that simple? Do you know the humiliation I've gone through?" She spits

"Its your fault! How could you forget not to take your birth control pills!" I retaliate.

"Everyone makes mistakes okay? It was a mistake" she spits.

"I can do that for you on only one condition" she says.

"What's it?"

"That you will not abandon me! That you'll get married to me when we are adults" she states and a lump forms in my throat. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Nikki! Not with her!

"I....I...." I trail off. If I say no, she'll tell my father or she will tell her father who will in turn tell my dad! And if I say yes, I'm going to be stuck with her forever! And even if the dads find out, they will force me to marry her. This is too much stress!

"Mm hmm? Go on" she urges.

I sigh heavily.

"Give me some time to think about this"

"Some time? You need to make your decision now" she spits

"Okay fine! I agree to your condition"

"So  I'm not telling my dad its you, until you tell me to do so but if you go against my condition, I'm telling your dad personally" she says.

"Deal" I reply.

She smiles and stuffs her mouth with more gnocchi dumplings. I can't believe I'm back to square one with her!

I try to eat but I've lost my appetite.
