She’s my twin episode 25 – 27

SHE’S MY TWIN

CHAPTER 25

 

 

Derek’s POV

“what took you so long? we’ve been waiting for you” Alexis

asked immediately she saw us. she focused her gaze on me

and back to Alexa. I win-ked at her and I’m sure she got the

message.

“sorry I stayed too long.” I said pu-lling her in for an embr@ce.

Alexa’s eyes were all sweaty right now.

“it’s okay” she smiled. “come on let’s go” she held my hands

pu-lling me towards the exit.

I stared at Alexa, she wanted to say something but couldn’t. I

didn’t mean to make my princess cry but I have to. it’s the only

way she’ll realize the true meaning and value of relationsh!ps.

Alexa’s POV

I can’t believe he picked Alexis over me. ever since we were

little, everyone chose her over me.

I felt so frustrated. I had to visit the bar. it’s the only place safe

for me to let my anger out. I gulped the whiskey down my

throat without tasting. tears falling down my cheeks. Damn it

Derek. all of you.

when I arrived home I was completely drun!k, I had no idea

how I made it to my be-droom before pas-sing out. I got a

hangover the next day when I woke up due to excess drinks. I

took some aspirin before taking my shower and then went

down to join the others for breakfast.

I didn’t eat much though. the incident yesterday kept on

flashing before my eyes. I was such a fool. a big one for

k!ss!nghim. what was I thinking when I did it?

“can I come in?” dad asked opening the door slightly. I smiled

and nodded.

“sure dad”

“how are you feeling now?” he asked

“what do you mean daddy?”

“aren’t you happy that you’ve finally graduated? what was the

nee-d to drink? is there something wrong?”

No wonder. dad must have caught me when I got back from

the bar yesterday.

“no dad. I’m fine” I shyed my eyes away

“Alexa quit drinking plea-se. you’re finally done with college.

you should think of getting a job and starting your life”

“I’m sorry dad. it won’t happen again promise”

he pu-ll-ed me close and gave me a warm hvg

“it’s okay” he whispered k!ss!ngmy hair

“you know you should work in my company. it’ll be great

handling the family business”

“but dad”

“I’m not forcing you. just think about it OK” he said and I

nodded.

Derek’s POV

“favorite food check”

“favorite check”

“Derek” Alexis called

“yup”

“sis c@m£ back drun!klast night. care to tell me what

happened?”

“she’s probably feeling bad”

“for what?”

“I don’t know”

Derek?” she half yelled

“fine she k!$$£d me but I didn’t budge”

“what? you’ve been waiting for that to happen and you did

nothing?”

“she’s jealous. she didn’t mean it. I want her to know the

ess£nce of relationsh!pnot agree to them because she’s

jealous but trust me, your sis is quite the k!ss£r”

I said and she pinched me

“hey that hurts”

“don’t talk about my sister that way. she’s trying to open up

and you’re pushing her away”

“no I’m helping her open up better”

“I hate you”

“cause you like my brother. what else” I chuckled and she

blu-shed

“don’t worry, when we’re done, Alexa would come back to

normal so help me finish up the list ok”

she nodded yes

“thanks Alexis. you’re nice. I can’t believe the other one is your

twin”

“Derek”

“sorry”…

CHAPTER 26
2 months later
“so how was work?” dad asked immediately I got in. I dropped
the files on my table and sat down.
“stressful dad but I’m getting the hang of it”
it’s been two months since my stupid act with Derek. I wanted
to tell him just how I felt about him but he pushed me away
so I had to accept dad’s offer and work for him so that I won’t
spend the rest of my life wishing for something that can never
be.
Alexis got a job in another company. though different
companies called to have me but I kept turning them down. I
nee-ded to be by myself.
“dad I’ll go freshen up”
“Alexa My business p@rtner for the new launch is s£nding his
son tomorrow and you’ll be the one to strike the deal”
“dad it’s a very big deal and… ”
“I’m sure you’ll do a great job. just be yourself and do your
best” he smiled.
“OK dad I’ll try”
“very good”
“I’ll see you for dinner. let me freshen up plea-se”
“ok sweetie” I k!$$£d his cheeks and walked out to my
be-droom.
******Fast Forward******
“Bernadette” I called my secretary and she rushed into my
office.
“yes ma’am”
“cancel all my meetings today. I have an appointment with
someone later in the day” I said staring into my l@pt©p. I have
to summarize thing project before he comes.
“is it the business meeting you have with your father’s p@rtner”
“yes. why? do you know anything about him?”
“yes. um actually your father told me to do some research to
help you just in case” she said and I nodded.
“ok what did you find?”
“he’s a very funny, smart and overall a handsome guy” she
said and I rolled my eyes
“anything else?”
“um nope”
“so how does this help us? we nee-d real information like if he
has a criminal record or something”
“no. he’s clean trust me”
“sounds like you like him”
“everyone does. he’s not just a guy but the guy”
“next time everything I ask you should be work related and not
based on some silly crushes got it?”
“yes ma’am”
“good. you may go and don’t forget to cancel my schedule
which includes the board meeting and everything” I said
staring intently at her.
“got it” she said and walked out.
I sat down in my office still running throu-gh some files on my
l@pt©p when the door flew open.
“ma’am he’s here”
I could tell how excited she was.
“let him in and bring coffee”
“sure” she closed the door.
the door was opened and someone walked in. I was focused
on my l@pt©p so I didn’t bother looking up cause I knew that it
was him
“plea-se sit. I’ll be with you shortly” I said still busy on my
l@pt©p.
“you must be very busy that you don’t want to attend to the
person seated in front of you”
I sighed and looked up “for crying out loud…. ” I paused when I
saw the person seated.
“Hi Alexa. we meet again”
“what are you doing here. plea-se leave. I have a business
appointment with someone important”
“I want to stay”
“Derek plea-se get out of my office. I don’t want to talk to you
right now” I yelled.
the door flew open and Bernadette c@m£ in with a tray of
coffee.
“here you go sir”
“who told you to give him that? take it back” I yelled.
“ma’am are you OK?”
“are you mad? take it away”
“ma’am this happen to be the guy our company is supposed to
strike the business with”
my jaw, dropped. I turned to look at him.
“was I the important person you wanted to see today?”
I didn’t say anything. I swallowed ha-rd .
“Bernadette plea-se leave”
“yes, ma’am” she shut the door behind her.
for some minutes we didn’t say anything. he just took a sip of
his coffee smiling occasionally.
“so you’re my dad business p@rtner’s son?”
“yes”
“um so about the deal… ”
“let’s forget about it. I’ve changed my mind” he, said standing
up
“hey wait”
“what?”
“you can’t say that. plea-se try to reconsider” I pleaded
“ok I will but on one condition”
“name it. I’ll do anything”
“go out on a d@t£ with me…. ” he said smiling. what could he
be up to now…

CHAPTER 27
“go out on a d@t£ with me” he said smiling.
what could he be up to now?
I frowned “sorry but I can’t” I said stating the obvious. As a
matter of fact I can’t.
“are you turning me down?” he asked but I didn’t respond.
what is his problem? how could someone who made it so
clear right from the beginning that he wants absolutely nothing
to do with me is asking me out on a d@t£. maybe it’s one of
his pranks.
“Alexa… ”
“plea-se I don’t want to. and if you won’t say yes to the project
because of this then you can go ahead. do whatever you want.
after all I’ve never been able to st©p you” I made way to my
chair but he pu-ll-ed me back to him.
for a moment everything felt fine, I was close to that
handsome guy that made me feel like trash.
“Derek we’re at work and anything not work related should be
cut off”
he sm-irked “are you chasing me away?”
“why are you doing all of this? you told me you don’t like me
so why are you torturing me? plea-se Alexis is waiting for you” I
tried to pu-ll my hands from his grip but It was very firm.
“you’ve changed so much princess”
he’s finally called me that. after the long wait I got to hear it
but who am I kidding. he likes Alexis and that’s plain fact.
“Yeah but not because of you though. I’ve finally realized my
worth”
“oh really..
” yes so plea-se leave ”
I turned to go but he gr@bb£d my w@!st and seated me on the
table. I was wearing a flair short go-wn and black heels.
he was coming in very close and I could feel the heat
emanating between us. his Cologne smelled nice and he
looked so handsome.
He lingered over my head. a strand of hair fell on my face but
he took it behind my ears. I felt a burning s-en-sation to k!sshim
again but refrained myself.
“Derek st©p this” I pleaded. all of me was enjoying what was
happening.
“you really gave me attitude love” he said. his gaze suddenly
bec@m£ serious
love? what the fv¢k is wrong with this guy?
I tried to get up from that position but he moved in between
my legs ma-king it impossible for me. gosh I loved the feel of
everything.
“St©p this… ”
“just say you’ll go out with me and I’ll leave you” he said
“cause I know de-ep down you’re loving this”
“so you can tell me how much of an idiot I am to you? sorry
but I’ll pas-s”
“why do you think I’m bad?”
“well it shows so I’m not lying”
“I’ve been dying to meet you. I never knew the project was in
your company till I c@m£ in” he moved further from me
I tried to catch my breath and compose myself
“i didn’t know as well” I said standing up
“so are you going with me?”
“Derek….
before I could say anything, he pu-ll-ed me close to him and
crushed hisl-ips on mine. he ni-bbled on my lower l-ips £nding
shivers down my spine. after the k!sshe pu-ll-ed away
” don’t turn me down. I’m expecting to see you ” he said and
walked away closing the door behind him.
I t©uçhed myl-ips to confirm what just happened. He k!$$£d
me. I smiled and went to sit down on my chair. OMG I forgot
to ask him about the deal. what if says something and his
father decides to call off the deal. what response will I give to
dad?
I put my stuff into my bag. I took some files to work with at
home. after wearing my shoes, I made for the door.
“were you able to convince him?”
Bernadette asked immediately I closed the door.
“who?” I asked acting like I didn’t know what she was talking
about
“The guy, the project for the new launch, sounds familiar?” she
asked waving her hands sarcastically
“yeah I did my best. let’s hope for the best”
“OK. I’ll arrange your office”
“thanks dette” I smiled and walked towards the exit,
responding to some workers who kept saying “good bye
ma’am, have a good day ma’am”.
I opened my car and stepped in. after putting my seatbelt on, I
drove home. I kept on thinking on what to tell dad. I feel like
I’ve failed him. maybe I should have just said you to the d@t£.
after all its just a one day thing and it wouldn’t hurt but
Where’s my self esteem and respect as a woman if I did that.
“Good afternoon Dale” I greeted as I stepped down.
“Afternoon ma’am Alexa”
I nodded and took my stuff in the car. I hanged my clutch on
my shoulder and made for the door. I sighed before pu-lling the
door knob and going inside.
“Alexa you’re home” dad greeted. mom smiled at me as she
set up the table
“so how was work?”
“Very OK” I faked a smile. how do I tell him I’ve failed and
crushed his dreams.
“Dad, I wanted to tell you that… ” he interrupted by hvgging
me.
“you don’t have to tell me anything. I’m proud of you Alexa”
he pu-ll-ed from the embr@ce
“what do you mean dad?”
“isn’t it good news? you impressed my p@rtner’s son and he
said he can’t wait to join us for the launch” dad smiled
“say what now? I mean yes I did”
“he said his son can’t st©p singing praises about you and the
company”
I’ve been worried for no reason. he was right, he does have
magic up his sleeve. I smiled but I knew I would tell dad the
truth.
“um dad. your business p@rtner… ” I paused and looked at him
“yes go on”
“he’s actually Derek’s father”
“really” mom ch!pped in.
“you mean Derek? the guy who took your sister out? and c@m£
to your graduation? that Derek?” he asked and I nodded. why
is he bringing back the past.
“so Derek was the one you met today?”
I nodded yes again
“wow what a small world but the important thing is that you
handled everything”
“thanks dad. oh and dad?”
he looked at me “yes sweetie”
“now that we got the project, I was wondering if I can leave
the house and live on my own now?” he looked at me sternly.
probably shocked from what I said “I promise I’ll come visit
soon. I just want to have the taste of being free and
independent. plea-se dad. I’ve actually found an ap@rtment and
I plan to move in soon”
“OK Alexa. you’re big enough to make your own decisions”
“I love you dad”
“you’re agreeing to this?” mom asked
“Audrey the kids are old enough to decide what’s good for
them”
“they are our children. they deserve to live with us”
mom held my hand
“Alexa plea-se I know you’re leaving because of me. but honey
don’t go”
“mom you’re hurting my wrist”
she loos£ned her grip on them.
“Alexa I’ll be broken without you here”
“you should have thought of that before you picked favourites.
I’m leaving and that’s final.”
“Alexa honey…
” plea-se mom. if you cared about me a little then agree to this
” I said before going upstairs to my room. I nee-d my freedom
and I know I would get it anywhere but this house….
