She is always complimenting me, something I am not used to after being with Bella for as long as I have. “Aww, thanks, angel.”

We turn our attention back to our food, a comfortable silence falling between us. I steal glances at her, and I can’t help smiling. She always has a way of making my day better.

“What will you do for lunch?” I ask.

Alana looks up at me and shrugs. “I will probably just grab a coffee and a sandwich or something.”

Yeah, no, that isn’t happening. She needs more than that for fuel to help her brain work.

“No, not good enough. I can prepare you something more substantial.”

Alana opens her mouth to argue with me. “Sweetness, I am not asking.”

She huffs. “God, you are always so bossy.”

I chuckle, shaking my head. “You love my bossy side.” I wink at her.

“I don’t need anything for lunch!” she protests, folding her arms over her chest.

I don’t say anything, instead I finish my breakfast, gather my dishes and walk away. Once I dump everything in the sink, I check my fridge to see what I can make her for lunch. I have some cooked chicken, leftover pasta and items for a salad.

“Babe, do you like cold pasta?” I call over to her.

“Yes. Why?”

“Great! I am going to toss together a chicken and pasta salad for you. I won’t take no for an answer,” I reply firmly.

I hear her muttering from behind me but can’t understand what she’s saying. I let her to her rant because she will get over it soon enough and eventually get to the good part and thank me. I find a suitable container and start prepping. It won’t take long.

While I’m in the middle of adding some seasoning, Alana’s arms slip around me from behind, and she kisses my neck. “Thank you for taking care of me, Ezra.”

I turn to face her. “You are welcome, angel. I like taking care of you.”

Alana smiles brightly at me. “I know I whine when you try it sometimes, but I do like it when you do.”

I plant a soft kiss on her lips. “I don’t mind. I think it’s cute when you pretend to be annoyed or mad at me.”

We part, and I finish off making her lunch while she makes sure she has everything for her classes. I place a yogurt, a smoothie, and mixed nuts next to the container of pasta salad.

She appears at my side, her eyes falling on everything I had set out for her. “Babe, I appreciate you making lunch for me, but there is no way I will be able to eat all of it.”

“Eat what you can. We should leave or you are going to be late.”

Alana puts everything into her bag, and we head out, starting the journey to the college. We chat, laugh and listen to music on the way, the time passing fast. Before we know it we have arrived outside of the campus.

Alana removes her seatbelt and leans over to take my lips with hers in a heated kiss. I groan, cupping her face in my hand, and kiss back in the same manner.

“Fuck, angel, you are going to get me fired up,” I mumble into her lips. My cock is already starting to harden.

She giggles and backs away. “See you later, handsome. Thanks for dropping me off.”

“Mmm. Yes, see you later. Text me during the day if you can.”

Alana nods, pecking my lips with a final kiss and climbs out. I watch her walk away until she is out of sight before I drive off. I am meeting with a realtor to look at a couple of apartments for Alana. She has no idea, but she needs somewhere to stay until things are sorted. If I could, I would continue to let her stay with me, but I can’t, not right now, not until I end things with Bella, and talk to my parents. I have a feeling all hell will break loose when I break up with her, and I don’t want Alana being around for that. I would rather her be somewhere away from everything, a place no one will know about.

I have no idea how she will react, but I can handle her. It is either an apartment or a hotel again. I would prefer she stay somewhere she can try to make her own and feel at home, rather than a hotel room. If I find somewhere perfect for her, I will ensure she has everything she needs in it before she moves in. I may need to put her up in a hotel for a week or so until the apartment is ready for her.

The guy I am meeting is a trusted friend who has his own business. He won’t ask any questions or mention it to anyone. I will pay for it from my other account. One which Bella has no idea about. I like to call it my savings account. It isn’t illegal or anything, but more of a private account only for me.
