Hellbound With You (WN)

Back at the party, everyone was happily feasting on the delicious food that were being served by the maids, all the while enjoying each other ’s company. Soft music flowed in the background and the low hum of conversations that were going on among the guests and hosts made the entire place seem so warm, cozy and inviting.

The atmosphere became blissful once again. Though Alicia and Zeke had yet to return, everyone did not mind their absence anymore. Well, it was expected that another romantic moment would ensue after all that shocking public display of affection that Zeke had showed.

Moreover, Alicia was also crying when they had left. So they could already deduce that the duo might take quite some time before they would return to join the others for the party.

While the men were enjoying their drinks, Alex started up another topic. This time, he put Zeres at the center of attention. Something that of course, had the silver-haired guy shooting a frustrated glare at Alex.

”Oh, come on Zeres! You should actually start thinking about doing something that you really want to do in your life. And it should be soon, too. Maybe you might want to go study and become a doctor or perhaps even a teacher… or something along those lines. You have all the time in the world right now. But I still think it ’s better if you find something you really want to do soon. ” Alex said and Kai and Lucas nodded quickly, agreeing to what Alex had said.

Zeres was dumbstruck at that sudden topic that was brought up. He had not been expecting such a lecture from Alexander. No, it was more like he just was not used to Alex talking about serious matters and behaving really sensibly like how he was at the moment. But then, he remembered that Alexander was already a father now.

”Or are you not interested yet because… ” Alex added, leaning his elbow on Zeres ’ shoulder as he waggled his brow. ”Because you are occupied with something else right now? Or should I say someone…? ” his voice turned into a whisper.

Ahhh… he spoke too soon. Because there he goes again.

Zeres shrugged Alex ’s hand off his shoulder, but Alex just casually returned his hand back into position again and continued talking as though he did not feel Zeres not wanting to continue on this topic. ”I heard you ’re living with Iryz for quite a while now, Zeres. And yet you didn ’t introduce her to us as your girlfriend? What ’s the deal with that?? ”

”That ’s because she ’s not my girlfriend yet, Alexander. ” He sternly replied when Alex suddenly flashed that annoying grin.
