It Comes In Three's

Chapter 107

It Comes In Three’s Chapter 107 Lottie’s POV I skip down the stairs with a newfound drive to tackle the day ahead… My hair was now blow-dried, my makeup done and my outfit fresh. Today, I wanted to help make myself and Alex feel more normal, as though it were just a typical day before all of the drama had kicked ofT. As I reach the bottom step, the front door opens, revealing Anna, as she smiles at me. “Hey girl! What’s up with you? What was that text all about?” Anna asks loudly, before footsteps are heard – causing me to pull a face a sign for her not to say anything in front of Alex. She eyes me oddly, before her eyes widen in realisation – as she nods in understanding. I’m glad she got the memo… “I’m going to the office again.” Alex appears in the hallway, as I close the front door behind Anna and turn to see him standing there. “We were actually going to go to the mall today!” Anna chirps, as I decide to go along with the idea. We hadn’t even discussed going to the mall, but it sounded way better than spending another day trapped inside the large office building doing nothing! Sure, his office was spectacular, and exciting to see. But spending a whole day there when you aren’t an employee, having nothing to do… is brutal! “Oh really?” Alex mocks, arms folded as we both nod and attempt to hold back our laughs. “Don’t like hanging out in my office anymore no?” He questions next, as Anna and I both shrug and mumble. “It’s ok… I guess… but we get bored! Let us drive to the mall, then we will meet you there straight after! I’ll stay in touch too!” I bargain, as Alex seems to think on it briefly. Just as I think he is going to respond, he turns on his heels and walks away from us – leaving myself and Anna eyeing one another in suspicion. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

– “Take his credit card and let’s rúán!” Anna jokes, as I laugh out loudly us both following him into the kitchen where he had went. I watch as he makes his coffee, seeming unbothered by our presence. “Alex? What are you doing?” I find myself asking, as Anna sports beside me before masking the laugh with a cough. 1/5 Chapter 107 I can’t look at her, as I avoid all eye contact knowing that she would just make me laugh, as I await Alex’s words. “If you go to the niall, my men will be there following you both the whole time that’s my deal!” Alex states, as Anna groans loudly next from beside me. “We aren’t babies! We can drive to the mall and back Alex! It’s a public place!’ Anna states bluntly, folding her arms, as Alex turns to us fully now his features set in stone. “Lottie was chased in town, another public place! Del was harassed in the hospital, another public place! It’s either my men keep an eye on you both today, or you don’t go at all! Kev doesn’t want you wondering around on your own either Anna.” Alex deadpans, as my mouth opens and closes – lost for words. 2 I guess he has a point there? “Ok yeah fine! You have a point! But tell them to at least keep a distance!” Anna rolls her eyes, as Alex nods once. “You won’t even know that they’re there! I do expect you both back at my office afterwards though, no detours!” He adds, as we both nod in understanding. oh meat thanks! Let’s o chuckle. – Lottie!” Anna cheers in excitement, rushing back down the hallway as I “You got my card?” Alex questions me next, referring to his credit card that he would often lend me. “I think it’s in my purse.” I ponder, as he takes a drink from his coffee cup – eyeing me steadily.

“Buy whatever you want, I don’t care, just make sure to text me!” Alex warns, as I nod in understanding – leaning up to kiss him once more. “Make sure to text me back!” I retort, as his eyes fall into a glare at my response causing me to giggle. After he left me high and dry at school the other day, I don’t think I’m the one he needs to worry about here! I enjoy the lighthearted conversation, as I say a final goodbye before heading out to Anna’s car with my purse. “I can’t believe he agreed to let us go to the mall today! What did you do to him?!” Anna laughs loudly, as a blush forms on my cheeks. Anna eyes me, starting up the car, before another loud laugh comes next at the realisation… “Oh I see! You better work for that freedom girl!” Anna jokes, as I cover my heated face in my hands and laugh along with her. 2/5 Chapter 107 We drive off towards the mall, knowing that Alex would no doubt already have a couple of guys there waiting on us. “So tell me now? What was that text about? You seemed worried!” Anna comments as she drives, bringing us back to the whole reason she had came over to my house In the first place. I sigh heavily, before speaking- “My period is late! Almost two weeks now! I got a cramp this morning and thought I had started but when I went to the bathroom, nothing! I explain to her, as she side eyes me, keeping focus on the road. “I see… well… do you use protection?” Anna questions, as I grow awkward at the open conversation. “We used to…” I trail off, as Anna turns to me – raising her brows. “Well Lottie, I think we gotta grab you a test at the mall hun!” Anna remarks, as my mouth falls open at the suggestion.

I don’t know what exactly I expected her to say… perhaps that this happens to every girl? That it’s normal to miss a period after having unprotected sex… that it doesn’t always mean you’re pregnant… but I knew that the reality was straightforward. I have to face the aftermath of sleeping with my boyfriend without protection! What did I seriously expect? What did ‘we’ expect? “Don’t freak out! You might not even be pregnant! We don’t know for certain so there’s no use stressing! Let’s just enjoy our day at the mall, pick up the test before we leave, and take it from there?” Anna suggests, as I nod along at the idea thinking it would be for the best. I can’t even begin to imagine a life with a baby… would Alex want that? With everything else that’s going on at the moment? The last thing he will want is a baby? We pull into the large multi-storey parking lot, as I check my phone seeing a text from Alex already… ‘Park on level 3. My guys are waiting there. I’ll know if you don’t too, doll, so don’t try and avoid them!x” I read the text aloud, as Anna grumbles, clearly having thought we could just hide from his men in the mall today…. “They won’t be all bad… we’ve done this before!” Anna sighs in remembrance. Leading up to the trial against Tommy, Jason and Holden, Alex had assigned two of his guys to basically escort us around town whenever Jace, Del and himself were busy. Sure, it was a total pain in the a** sometimes knowing we were being watched and followed around, but we put up with it nonetheless. We would even forget that they were there half of the time! 3/5 Chapter 107 Anna pulls into level three, parking up the car, as I look around briefly noticing the two familiar faces of the men as they stand by the entrance leading into the mall. “There they are, Laurel and Hardy!” Anna snorts, as I laugh out loudly from the comment – exiting the

I remember to take my handbag, as we approach the guys forcing a smile as they nod to acknowledge us. “We won’t be much bother ladies, you’ll forget we are even here! We will wait outside the stores for your both!” One of them speaks first, as I smile and politely thank him. We enter the mall, as the guys put some distance between us, giving us at least some freedom as we step into the busy place. “Where to first?!” Anna grows excited, since we hadn’t been here in a while now, as I look around at the number of stores. “How about… Nike over there first… then we could do Victoria Secret beside it?” I suggest, as Anna agrees and we head towards the brightly lit stores.. We head straight for the sneaker wall first, thankful that the two bodyguards remained outside like they had said they would. “Let’s just shop til we drop!” Anna laughs, as I nod and pick out a pair of Nike Vaporfly. “These look like good gym sneakers!” I state, deciding that I need new workout shoes, as Anna agrees with my choice. I get the sneaker in my size, before we both admire the new Nike dunks in grey, white and black. We grow excited, knowing that we have to get these matching, as we decide to both purchase a pair. We also buy a couple of gym sets from Nike, before exiting the store and heading into Victoria Secret. We buy many cute underwear sets, along with some perfume and body spray. “Where to next?!” Anna asks, as we look around, leaving the store. “Bath and Bodywork’s?” I suggest, spotting the store, as we head towards it. The scent in this store alone was exceptional! We spend some time smelling the stuff, picking out different products. I also purchase Alex a men’s

set which I personally thought smelled incredible, as we leave the store feeling accomplished. “You want to grab food before we shop some more?” Anna questions, as I nod – taking note of my hungry stomach having not ate yet today. 4/5 Chapter 107 I shoot Alex a quick text, telling him that we were going one of our new found favourite lunch spots at the to grab lunch, as we stop at CRAVE. This was mall having discovered our new love for Sushi. The two guys decided to grab a bite to eat at the taco jolt.t opposite us which meant they could still keep tabs on us whilst giving us privacy all the same. This wasn’t all bad today…. We eat, before shopping some more at Zara, Swarovski, Yankee Candle, H&M, Prada and even Carhartt where I picked up some new clothes for Alex. Who said retail therapy wasn’t the best type of therapy? “Ok… last thing to do now is grab you that test… let’s find a drug store in here!” Anna suddenly states, causing my heartbeat to quicken. I had almost forgot about that…. Here goes nothing….

EJ Kincaid I think Alex will be happy about it if she is Visitor are Kevin and Anna just really good friends I though he said he was gay
