Chapter 0053 “What’s up?” Colt asked as I got out of the car.

“Frankie canceled his appointment because of his grandma. Figured I’d come give him a basket.”

“I thought so, so I brought one up for you.” Colt handed me the basket. “Alec.” Colt shook Alec’s hand.

I “An n is in a frenzy so as much as I want to see you, you better get going”

“Noted. Thanks Colt!”

The boys nodded as we got back in the car. Giving Alec directions, we were able to make it to Frankie’s house easily. There was a fair amount of people there.

“If you don’t want to come, I understand.” I said to Alec as I got out.

“I’ll wait for you outside “Alec leaned up against his car as I walked inside the house.

“Kirs! You didn’t have to come! I’m so sorry.” Frankie was a mess.

“Don’t be sorry.” Sitting the basket down on the table with the other cards, I was pulled into a conversation.

It took me 15 minutes to break free.

As I walked outside, I saw Alec checking his watch.

“Kris?” A small voice sounded behind me. It was Frankie’s daughter. She was three years old. Kneeling down, she ran towards me. Hugging me with everything she had in her.

“Oh Isabelle. You will see her again.” I tried to comfort her. Sally, Frankie’s mate came out to get her.

“Mamma!” Isabelle cried.

“I’m sorry, she has been a mess.”

“Are you going to plant a flower?” I asked “Yes.”

“Isabelle? Maybe you help mommy and daddy pick out a flower to your grandma.”

Isabella sniffed but nodded.”Otay.”

“Thank you.” Sally said as I waved good ye and she went inside.

1 Alec just held the door open for me as I got in. A second later, he was doing the same. “Sorry that took longer than I expected.”

“It’s okay.” It was me this time that reached out and took his hand. He accepted it without a fight.

Sending butterflies to my stomach. Waving as we passed the guards, we drove with the windows down to my shop. The wind felt great in my hair.

Pulling up to the front, there was storm clouds in the distance. “Are we suppose to get rain?” “I didn’t think until later Alec mumbled as he looked on. Unlocking my door, I relocked it after Alec walked in. Setting my stuff down, I started pulling out everything I needed. “Assuming you have a pain tolerance, we can get in done tonight but we can stop if needed.” “S hit.” Alec took his shirt off and sat down so his back was facing out. “This is cold.” Spraying his back, I started cleaning it up. There was a few scratches on his shoulders that made me chuckle. 1 “What?”

“I told your not to let any girls scratch your back.”

Alec turned and looked at me. “You going to charge me for what you did?”

“Maybe... But not in money.” I flirted as I pushed him back around.

“What would the princess want then?”

Turning my gun on, I started working.

“Hmm, any suggestions?”

“I don’t know what you want. A date? Back rub?”

“Hmm, I was thinking something more... Exciting.”

“Oh? Like what?”

“A midnight bike ride.”

“I think I could handle that. Let me get it figured out.” Alec agreed more easily than I figured he would.

“Really? Perfect.”

“Did you think I was going to say no?”
