Part 10
Nick and Alex calmly walked down the hall and to
the elevator where they met up with Jeff.
"So, you can give the driver directions,"
Nick told Alex as the elevator started on its way down.
"Do you know the governor Alex?" Jeff
asked.
"You could say that. I used to be best friends
with his daughter Marcia," Alex said with a smile, grabbing Nick's
hand. Making sure Jeff noticed, of
course. The elevator opened and they walked through the lobby and out the door
to the limo.
"So, how did you meet the governor's
daughter?" Jeff asked.
"Our parents are old friends. We were sort of
forced together at a young age," Alex said, explaining it to Drew, Jeff,
and Justin.
"Are your parents still alive?" Justin
asked.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, you'll probably be
meeting them tonight."
"Well, that will be a pleasant surprise for
them, won't it?" Drew asked.
"One of many, I assure you," Alex said,
snuggling against Nick. His arm went around her and brought her closer to him.
The ride to the mansion was spent with chitchat
about Alex's family and the governor. When they arrived at the mansion, the
butler, Jeeves escorted them to the main living room.
"Jeeves, do tell Marcia I've come
calling," Alex said.
"Miss Alex! I did not recognize you. What on
earth are you doing her with Mr. Whitman's guests?"
"Jeeves," Alex said. "These are my
friends. Just tell Marcia I've come calling. Tell her to meet me in the
library. Oh and Jeeves?" she stopped the old butler from running off.
"Yes Miss Alex?"
"Don't tell Mr. Whitman I'm here. I want it to
be a surprise," Alex said with a glance at Nick.
"Yes, Miss Alex," Jeeves said rushing
off.
"Another surprise?" Nick whispered,
pulling her to him. "Aren't there enough for the evening?" He asked
through clenched teeth.
"Not yet. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a
meeting to attend." She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before walking
out of the room and around the corner.
"You two are quite cozy, aren't you?"
Drew asked.
"I suppose why?"
"Just saying. You weren't like that
before." Jeff and Justin were in the other side of the room, looking at
photographs. "Did you sleep with her?"
"Not in the way you're suggesting. Trust
me."
"I do brother. But do you trust
yourself?"
