Chapter 48: Crazy for Chasity

Alex

I woke up feeling particularlywell-rested. I glanced at the reason for this as she snuggled up to m chest.

I realised Chasity and I were still alone in my bed.

I smirked.

I wondered what my brothers were up to They were probably seething.

Felix

I was seething.

I was livid, I was f‘*“*goutraged! I had tossed and turned all night after Calix and I had decided t sleep in our own respective rooms rather than slip intothe bed that Chasity was in.

Alex's bed.

I took a cold shower and dressed quickly.

We had stuff to do today anyway so Alex's morning after would have to be cut short.

I burst into Alex’s room.

I found him awake already, stretching and yawning, but still cuddled up with Chasity.

"Good morning," said Alex brightly.

I stared at him blankly.

He grinned.

"Good morning," said Chasity sheepishly.

"Good morning, Princess," I said, kissing her forehead.

I was not mad at her.

"Alex and I have to run some errands today so Calix will take you to school, okay?"

I glared at Alex.

He sighed, kissed the top of Chasity's head and slowly sat up, remaining on the edge of the bed.

"By all means, take your time," I said sarcastically, with a flourish of my hand.

”1 will," he said, smiling.

I rolled my eyes.

"Errands?" Said Chasity, frowning.

"Yes, Baby," I said.

"We have a busy day ahead.

Alex, here, seems to have forgotten.

Thank goodness woke up early and came to remind him!" I said pointedly, hitting him where it would hurt, right in the schedule.

"Oh, yes, what would we do if we didn't have you keeping track of the schedule!" Snapped Alex.

I had touched a nerve.

I said nothing.

"I did not forget," added Alex, getting all snippy.

"Where's Calix?!" Calix Finding the address for Didi Torte had been a cinch.

Alex had simply looked her up in the pack directory.

Our pack kept meticulous records on its members and ever since Alex had come into office, thos records had been expertly reorganised for "maximum efficiencyand ease of retrieval." He had alsc had the pack directory digitised so we could search the names of members from our phones.

Thus, we had gotten her address back when we were still on the yacht.

As curious as I was, I would not be going with Felix and Alex today to interview Didi as someone had to stay behind to keep an eye onChasity and drop her to school.

I figured some alone time with Chasity would do us good.

She had marked Alex last night and I really hoped I was next.

I was happy for Alex though.

I knew he felt like the odd man out sometimes when it came to Chasity.

I entered the entrance room and looked up to see Felix at the top of the stairs.

"We're off to the races, Baby Boy,” said Felix, sliding down the bannister towards me.

"Where's Alex?" I asked.

"I thought he was right behind me," grumbled Felix.

"He's in a daze this morning!"

I yawned.

I had not slept well without my Chasity.

I had given up on sleeping at the crack of dawn sol was dressed already "That mark on his neck has his head in the clouds! Lucky bastard,” muttered Felix,continuing his r without any input from me.

"I'm happy for him," I said simply.

Felix raised his eyebrows at me.

"Chasity has a very harmonious relationship with me," I explained.

"And a very...explosive one with you," I reasoned.

"By explosive you mean passionate right?" Said Felix, grinning.

"No, I mean volatile," I said.

Felix’s smile slipped off his face.

He tried to shove me but I dodged him.

"Anyway," I said, undaunted.

"Alex's biggest insecurity is feeling ignored by her.

He wanted her attention more than anything but he was too...you know...Alex-like to admit it.

Now, he has it," I said with a smile.

"Okay, well, now I want it back," said Felix simply.

I rolled my eyes.

"Well, she'll be hanging out with me today so you have a wait on your hands,” I retorted.

Felix tried to shove me again.

"Felix, cut it out," said Alex.

We looked up to see him coming down the stairs, a look of determination on his face.

He was back to business.

"Coming back down from the clouds so soon, Lover-boy?" Asked Felix incredulously.

"Yeah, we have a job to do for Chasity, remember?” Said Alex sternly.

"Let's go! Calix, please make sure she gets to school safe and sound and on time.

Also, make sure she eats something first." "He's got it, Dad, let’s go,” said Felix.

"Don’t worry, Alex, we'll be fine," I said reassuringly.

Alex nodded.

"Thanks, Calix," he said, smiling slightly and clapping me on the back.

I went upstairs after they left only to find Chasity still snuggled up under the covers in Alex’s roon "Time to get ready for school," I murmured, sitting on the edge of the bed.

She quickly pulled the covers over her face, hiding from me.

I bundled her up in the blankets like a burrito and threw her over my shoulder.

She squealed something but it was muffled.

"What was that?" I chuckled as I headed downstairs with her in tow.

I took her to her master bathroom and placed her in the bathtub, burrito blanket and all.

She disentangled herself and peeked out from the blankets.

"Calix!" She complained.

"Good morning, Goddess!" I said fondly, She pouted.

"Hmph," was all she said.
