Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 20

When asked what they wanted for a reward, Murphy and Conner wanted to meet their parents, Tyler insisted he went along with them as their bodyguard.

Alexa sighed when asked what she wanted for a reward, all she wanted was to find her mother, she looked on with a sad smile as her friends drove off.

"We will find her," Reagan said patting her back, trying to comfort her.

Alexa looked at him sharply, "Stop doing that," She scolded him.

"Doing what?" he very well knew what she meant but he played innocent.

"Reading my thoughts as you please," She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Hmm, okay," He nodded.

"huh?" She blinked, that was easy, she thought, "For real?" She asked.

"If you don't want me to, I won't," He smiled at her.

"Thanks," She smiled back at him, just then Lia leaned in and whispered in her ear, "You actually believe him?"

"Hmm, I trust him," She said with a smile.

"Tsk, tsk," Her best friend clicked her tongue and said, "he's fooling you, my dear."

"I don't think so, I trust his words," Alexa said looking at him, there wasn't a single reason why she wouldn't trust him, he had done so much for her, his actions until now showed she could trust him, she could lean on him.

"Try it, he's listening to you even now," Lia told her, "Look at him smiling in bliss, you thought something good about him, didn't you?" Lia asked.

Alexa didn't want to doubt him but Lia is his sister so she just tried, 'I can trust you right?' She looked at him.

He smiled at her and nodded.

'Didn't I tell you not to read my thoughts as you please?' She narrowed her eyes at him, his eyes widened as he realized she was testing him, "Damn you!" She turned her back and began to walk away just then he appeared in front of her.

"I'm sorry," He apologized holding her hand.

"Keep your sorry to yourself," She hissed as she swatted his hands away, "I trusted you," She eyed him accusingly, "But... just when I think I'm starting to like you, you just make me hate you more," She then walked away from there.

"Oh no, you're being hated," Lia teased him sticking her tongue out, "dear bro-" She stopped as he glared at her furiously, "You've gone too far with your jokes," He shook his head as he ran after Alexa.

"Hey," He called out to her but she walked faster, but of course Reagan caught up to her within a second, "Wait," He grabbed her wrist making her face him, "I'm sorry," He said with a guilty face.

When she refused to look at him, he cupped her cheeks and peering into her eyes, "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me?" He raised his brows.

When she didn't reply, he continued, "I am really very sorry, I swear I won't pry until you want me to, I won't read your thoughts without your permission, please forgive me?"

'Really?' She asked him but he didn't reply.

"Come on, I said, I'm sorry, say something," He urged.

"You'll keep your words this time?" She asked.

"By all means," he smiled at her.

"Fine, then" A small smile slipped from her lips.

She then stared at him, "You can let me go now?" She raised her brows.

He pulled her cheeks, "Hey!" She complained.
