Chapter 152: Women…
At the end of Alex’s classes, he went to the parking light where he found someone unexpectedly waiting for him at his car. It was, of course, none other than Emily, who had a bit of a nervous expression on her lips. When Alex saw this, he scoffed and rolled his eyes, before asking just what the girl wanted.
“Is something the matter, Emily?”
Emily shook her head quite frantically, in an obvious display of anxiety. As she denied that there was something that made her feel nervous.
“No… Nothing… I just… I just wanted to know if you had any plans tonight?”
Alex could immediately tell the girl was still afraid of everyone and everything after what she had been through, and thus Alex scoffed once more, as he unlocked his car, before explaining to the girl exactly what he had planned for the night.
“Same thing as every week night. I’m going to hit the gym, then head home. Why… Don’t tell me you want to spend the night at my place again?”
Emily quickly shushed Alex in case any of the other students nearby overheard him and misunderstood her intentions. She quickly closed the distance between the man and scolded him for his poor choice of words.
“Shhh! Keep it down! Do you really need to make it sound so… so scandalous!?! I just… I’m scared, Alex! Please, just let me stay at the penthouse. I can’t sleep alone in my parents’ house… Not again!”
“Emily… For the last time, the contract is dead… Trust me… Some powerful people made it go away after Richard was murdered. Nobody is going to try to harm you!”
However, Emily was deeply frightened, and Alex could tell by the look in her dark blue eyes as she pleaded with him, no begged him, to let her stay the night in one of his spare rooms.
“Alex… My cousin works at a local gun shop and he told me that Chad went out and purchased a handgun! What if he comes after me? I’m not like you! I don’t know how to defend myself!”
Alex was a little bit surprised by this information. He had heard that Chad was paying Vanessa to teach him how to defend himself, and he thought nothing about this. After all, despite being an athletic prodigy, it would take years for Chad to get the knowledge and experience to properly be a threat to Alex in a fight. But if the man had gone out and purchased a gun… Well, Alex wasn’t delusional enough to believe he was bulletproof. Thus, he sighed heavily and nodded his head before allowing Emily into his car.
“Alright fine… You can stay the night, but Emily, I still have to go to the gym, so you’re going to be sitting in the waiting room for several hours as I get my workout in…”
Emily quickly hugged Alex without even thinking of the implications and thanked him from the bottom of her heart for his support.
“Thank you! Thank you so much! I promise you won’t even know I’m there!”
Alex nodded his head, and pet the girl’s black/blue hair, as he got into his car, and drove off to the gym. Where he would train for several hours in the sport of fighting. During this time, Emily mostly spent her time in the waiting room on her phone. But every now and then, she would look over and see Alex flirting with Vanessa, which made her feel a bit jealous. Though she didn’t quite recognize she was feeling this emotion, and instead buried her face back in her phone.
Eventually Alex returned from his training to the waiting room while completely sweaty. Normally, he would shower at the gym’s facilities, but he didn’t want to keep Emily waiting too long, and thus he simply opted to take a shower when he got home.
When he picked the girl up, Alex noticed she was in a much fouler mood than she had been when he drove her to the gym. And thus, he was quick to ask about this.
“Is something the matter Emily, you see a bit… I don’t know… How do I put this… Pissy?”
Emily didn’t know if Alex had deliberately chosen this word to irritate her even further, but she simply grunted in displeasure before leaving the gym, leading the way to the parking lot without even turning around to look at Alex.
This caused the man to scoff yet again, and shake his head while voicing his thoughts aloud.
“Women… Sometimes I wonder why I try to so hard to please them…”
Luckily for him, Emily didn’t hear this as she was waiting rather impatiently or the man at his car. Which he only unlocked for her once he was close enough to hop into the driver’s spot. Throughout the entire car ride home, Emily remained completely silent with a scowl on her face, as she thought how much of a bastard Alex was for flirting with another girl in front of her. Her thoughts even led her to believe if he wanted to flirt, it should have been with her. And the moment she realized she had thought about this, the girl began to blush.
Alex, of course, had no idea what the girl was thinking about, or why she suddenly went from angry to embarrassed, but the mind of a woman was a deeply complicated and convoluted mess. One that was entirely devoid of things like logic and reason, both of which were the foundations of a man’s mind. Instead, they thought purely on emotion, and because of that men could never actually understand how a woman thought, or what the hell she was even thinking about.
Once inside the penthouse, Alex found that Diana, Shannon, Madison, Kristina, and Jade were already preparing dinner for him. They had shamelessly walked around naked, wearing nothing but an apron as they greeted their man home after a long day’s work with his favorite beer in hand.
It was only when the women realized Emily was by Alex’s side that they realized they were dressed incredibly inappropriately. With Diana being the one to tell the other girls to get dressed.
“Oh, my… You should have told us you were having company. Pardon us while we go get dressed into something a bit more… Appropriate!”
Alex could only facepalm. He didn’t exactly have the same rules about nudity in this house, that he did back in Korea, and that was because it wasn’t just his women who visited this penthouse. Emily appeared bothered by the sight of the five beautiful naked women and couldn’t help but storm off to take a seat on the sofa. She did not say a word to Alex. And thus, the man simply sighed as he wondered off to take a shower in one of the spare bathrooms.
At some point Emily began to sniff herself, and realized that she also needed to shower, luckily for her, she had left behind a set of spare clothes at this place, knowing that she would be back, and thus she went to gather them, before accidentally entering the same bathroom that Alex was currently occupying.
While the man had left the actual shower, and toilet part of the bathroom locked during his time in the shower, he did not do the same for the area with the sinks, and thus when he exited the shower naked, to shave his face, he found that Emily was already inside dressed in nothing but a towel while she stared at Alex’s naked body in shock.
Emily had never actually seen a naked man before, outside of some pornography that her friends had shared with her. And she was completely stunned into silence when she saw Alex’s chiseled body and his massive cock.
Alex was also slightly surprised, but he made no move to grab a towel to cover himself. After all, he was all too accustomed to other people seeing his naked body, and would never get embarrassed over such a thing. Thus, he simply asked the woman who was once been his childhood crush one simple question.
“Are you going to use the shower? Or are you just going to stand there and stare at me?”
It was only now that Emily realized she had been staring at Alex’s genitals in complete and total shock for several seconds of awkward silence. And thus she blushed red and fled into the separate room that contained the shower, where she slammed the door behind her and locked it before yelling at Alex.
“You pervert!”
Alex could only once more sigh and roll his eyes before repeating the same thing he had said earlier in the day.
“Women…”
