NOT JUST FRIENDS
02

An angry expression was clearly drawn on the beautiful face of Alexia who was currently looking at the news of the wedding of Beatrix, her former stepmother.

The woman was completely crazy, not even a year after she was widowed after Alexia's father died and now she has decided to get married again. Even more crazy, the man who will be married to Beatrix turned out to be Gery. Yeah, Gery the lawyer.

Makes everything seem clearer. Those rotten people must have worked together to steal Alexia's treasure, and they succeeded. Unfortunately Alexia has no way to fight back.

Alexia threw the phone in her hand on the floor full of emotions, she could not live without her father's property, but the fact that his father had been fooled by his wife and people he trusted made Alexia more pity the fate of his late father than herself.

"Oh no, now I have to buy a new phone! " excited Alexia when she remembered that now she was not a rich man's son anymore.

The woman immediately picked up the shapeless fragments of the damaged cell phone and threw them in the trash.

Alexia then goes to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Yes, because of the loss of rights to her old house now Alexia must live in a simple apartment, because she must save enough money for her survival later.

And luckily Alexia found this apartment, the size is not so large and only has one room, living room and kitchen minimalist, minimalist, although not so spacious but quite comfortable to live in and the price is also not too draining pockets.

Now Alexia seems to be focusing on making some kind of cuisine in her small kitchen, lucky when she was a teenager she had time to take cooking courses.

And now he seemed satisfied with the results of his cooking and brought him a dinner shirt.

Tired of eating in silence, Alexia decides to turn on the television in the living room and watch the news from where she eats.

"Aish, why is the media so fond of exposing the lives of celebrities, instead of them also want to live freely like humans in general. " alexia grumbled when she saw one of the media was reporting about Jane Millia, a famous model who fell asleep was dating her lover.

Looks like the model was uncomfortable and very disturbed by the actions of the paparazzi who tried to get a picture of the lover, they even continue to be followed until both of them get into the car.

"Poor Jane, she must be very depressed, " Alexia said as she ate her last bite.

...****************...

Alexia stepped out of her apartment with a thick coat wrapped in her beautiful body because it was now entering winter, and some streets were even covered in ice that made it slippery. Not many people walk down the street because of the cold weather.

If people generally prefer hot musing to winter Alexia is the opposite, the woman prefers winter because she does not need to overheat and sweat.

"Alexia! "

The woman turned her head towards the voice earlier, making sure that it was her name that the person was calling. And sure enough from a distance Alexia can see Felix his friend is walking towards him. The man looks happy to see Alexia again, and so is Alexia.

Felix hugged Alexia's body briefly and smiled kindly.

"I think I saw it wrong, but it turns out that it was you. " Felix spoke while allowing Alexia's wind-swept hair.

"You're so mean, you just disappeared on graduation day and you never even called me again after that. " Axia punched Felix's muscular stomach voicing her irritation.

Though all this time only the man can understand him, but he disappeared when Alexia needed his presence.

Felix grimaced looking in pain to make Alexia confused, she did not even hit him hard and the Felix she knew would not be easy to be in pain just from being hit by a woman.

"You're overreacting... Oh my God you're bleeding! " exclaimed Alexia frantically looking at Felix's white jacket wet by the red liquid. "What a blow I'm too hard, forgive me for hurting you. "

"It's okay, I did get a little hurt. " Felix said with a grumbling face holding the pain in his wound.

"You're sure it's okay, we can go to the hospital if we need to, "just as Alexia sees Felix in pain.

"No, maybe we just need to replace the bandage alone." Felix refused confidently.

...****************...

"You're sure this wound was due to a fall? " ask Alexia for the umpteenth time.

The woman placed a new gauze on Felix's stomach wound. The wound wasn't very long but Alexia was sure it was deep enough, and it was like a sharp puncture wound not from a fall like Felix said.

"For God's sake. Alexia! You've asked that question more than ten times. " Felix said slowly while looking at the beautiful face of Alexia who was cleaning the P3K box in front of her.

"I'm just asking. " Alexia pursed her lips feeling less satisfied with the answer Felix gave.

"And I answered it many times. "really, Felix was not angry, the man was just anxious with Alexia's caring attitude towards him.

"Then, how could you be so careless. Fall to the point of getting hurt! " exclaimed Alexia looked like an older sister nagging her mischievous younger brother.

"You are, I am wounded. Instead of comforting you're nagging me. "cowler Felix with a face that's clear.

"I'm sorry, and where have you been all this time? just disappeared like a fugitive! " smile Alexia.

Felix held his chin looking thoughtful, but after that he then smiled at Alexia and made the woman confused by him. But instead of asking, Alexia just silently waited for the answer to come out of Felix's mouth.

"I went to take care of my Grandfather's farm in Canada, because my Grandfather suddenly fell ill" Felix replied as he looked at Alexia's face.

Alexia wanted to believe Felix's answer because Felix's grandfather did have a sizable farm in Canada. But her facial expression before answering made Alexia slightly doubtful.

"If the answer is that simple why should you think before you answer. You lied to me.! " accuse Alexia directly.

Felix put on an unacceptable face got a direct accusation from Alexia. The young man then replied. "If you don't believe me, just call the old man directly. Ah, I forgot that it's hard to get a signal that you won't be able to contact her, except by mail. "

Alexia certainly would not do that, after all what harm he if Felix lied. The man went where he was and Alexia had no right to rule her life even though they were both so close friends.

"Well, it's late at night you want me to take you home? " ask Alexia while getting up from her seat.

"I want to stay overnight, okay!? " Suddenly Felix asked to stay the night.

Actually not the first time for Felix to stay at Alexia's residence, but this time it is different, if his house which used to have many rooms for the man to occupy, but this time it is different, and now there's only one room and it belongs to Alexia herself. The two of them couldn't possibly share a room right!?.

"Actually I don't mind you staying, but here is only one room. "said Alexia hanging felt bad refusing Felix's request, but she had no other choice.

"I understand, I'll just go home. " Felix spoke quickly, making Alexia not need to be confused choosing words.

Although Felix understands Alexia's intentions, and intends to go home, but it seems that nature is less supportive with the news of a snowstorm that will hit their city soon.

As a good friend it is impossible for Alexia to let Felix out in a snowstorm, especially now that the man is injured. Now his brain is thinking hard how to get the man to stay. Letting him sleep in the guest room is certainly not a good choice, maybe he got a fever when he woke up the morning tomorrow.

"We share a room if you want. "break up Alexia with doubt.

"Hm... You certain? " ask Felix to make sure. "I don't mind sleeping on the couch if you want to" he added confidently.

"No... No, you're not gonna sleep on a couch. We can share a room, it's so cold here you get a fever if you sleep here all night. "push down Alexia and go to her room immediately.

If not Felix of course Alexia would not want to share her room with a man. Alexia believes that Felix is not a bad man who will take advantage of the situation to do nothing, because they have known each other for a long time.
