It wasnât long until the limousine stopped in front of what seemed like a luxury apartment building. Becca was a little impressed by how the lobby looked and stayed close to Lex as they walked in and into the elevator, holding onto Lexâs arm as he swiped a card in the elevator and clicked on the top floor. The penthouse. When the elevatorâs opened Rebecca as shocked by how nice the place was. She slowly stepped in and let go of her purse as it fell on the ground, she looked around surprised by the whole place. [color=#D0209]0âWow⊠I never knew you lived like this⊠like I knew you had money and such but wow.â[/color] She said as she walked around more and admired the place, just about turning/spinning as she walked to get a look at everything.
The apartment was huge compared to Rebeccaâs place back in London. The luxurious kitchen that had its own island and bar, the stunning glass window wall that led out to a terrace with a pool and hot tub, also what looked like access to Lexâs own gym. As Becca reached the center of the room she assumed that upstairs was all the living arrangements, though not sure exactly how many bedrooms he had. She turned around when Lex spoke about money not being an issue and quickly walked over to him seeing his open gesture to take her coat. She let him take it off of her, and turned around back to face him.
âLex, do you have anything more comfortable for me to wear? Kind of want to get out of this dress. Iâm going to wash my face, I probably look terrible with crying with this make up on.â Rebecca asked and then walked into the bathroom to wash her face as Lex said he could find something and headed upstairs. By the time she was done washing her face Lex was back down stairs and the two met by the kitchen island, and he and handed her a dress shirt. Since he was taller than her it would work for now around his apartment.Rebecca thanked him and started taking off her jewelry and heels, placing them on one of the bar seats. âHope you donât mind.â She said as she took off her dress in the open. This revealed her numerous tattoos that she has gotten over the years, as well as her matching black underwear.
Rebecca took a seat at the bar and started buttoning up the shirt before looking over at Lex. âDo you think any of our friends wouldâve done this?â She asked as she watched him get some drinks out of the cupboard and start mixing. He quickly handed her a familiar looking drink, as she took a sip she knew he had attempted to make her favorite drink, not as perfected as Erinâs, but she was a bartender and it still tasted good. She listened as Lex explained his thoughts, the last part peaking her interest. âFirst off, this tastes great, didnât know you knew what I liked And what you mean? Youâre going to try to find out who did it?â She asked, quickly downing her drink and putting her elbows on the counter and staring at Lex as he talked.
Rebecca took his hand as he looked into her eyes. âWell⊠I wanna help. Not sure how, but I want to.â Rebecca said nodding to Lex, she took a glance at the clock he had on the wall. [color=#D02090]âI think we should head to bed. Iâm assuming upstairs?â She said as she stood up and quickly started heading up the stairs. She tripped on the second step, partly to her not paying attention and a little bit due to her tipsiness over the night. Lex helped her up. âIâm fine, just hit my knee. And Lex⊠do you mind if I sleep with you? Donât really want to be aloneâŠâ she asked softly as they walked up the stairs.
As they got settled into bed Rebecca took off her bra from under the buttoned shirt and turned ti face. âThank you, really missed you over the years. Glad to see youâre successful with everything.â Rebecca leaned in and gave him a kiss, holding for a couple seconds before laying down. She subconsciously snuggled close to Lex and quickly fell asleep. Rebecca actually felt safe.
Rebecca slowly woke up and found the paper Erin handed her and sent a message along with a picture of herself sitting on the edge of the bed to show that she was alive and okay. She then got up to find Lex, just following the smell of breakfast. Whenâs she reached the staircase she looked down and saw him. Shirtless, making food. Becca stared for a second before finally saying something. âYou know, cooking shirtless is dangerous.â She headed down stairs looking at the island and all the variety of food Lex had set our. âWow, this is amazing. Feel like a princess to wake up to all of this.â She quickly made a plate with a little bit of everything that Lex has made and started to eat.
While Lex continued to cook Rebecca noticed his phone buzz and out of curiosity noticed some talk about murder and crime, but not much from trying to read the small print upside down. âLex.. whatâs this about?â She asked pointing at his phone. She listened to his explanation. âWell? What do you know? Who did it?â Rebecca asked. She put on a pouty face with sticking out her bottom lip when Lex told her he couldnât tell her. Either he didnât want to or didnât know, still both wouldnât matter.
After finishing the meal that Lex has prepared for her Rebecca saw the time on the largeanalog clock Lex had up on the wall. âI have to head back to the hotel, need to gather some things and let my work know whatâs going on.â Rebecca said as she slid her phone to Lex. [color=#D02090âIncase I want to message youâŠâ she said with a smile as she got up and gathered her things and changed back into her dress. âThanks again Lex, Iâll probably be back.â Becca said kissing him on the cheek before leaving.
