The Alphas Sister Complete

Chapter two

Alex

Signing the last document on my desk, I leaned back on my chair and heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Finally, another day done.

From meetings to conference calls to piles of documents to go through and sign to going through my endless emails, I was so ready to call it a day and go home.

Pressing the dial button on the intercom, I summoned my assistant, Lisa. Minutes later, a knock sounded from my door

“Come in”, I said

“You called, sir”

“Yes please, see to it that these documents are sent to the appropriate departments”

“Yes sir”

“Yes, please. You can round up for the day after that”

“Thank you sir”, she said, retreating out of the office

Leaning back once again, I swiped a hand through my hair and down my face, a habit that comes when I’m feeling stressed or tired.

Suddenly, the door swings open and in comes the bane of my existence also known as my best friend, Antonio Gonzalez.

Visibly groaning, I returned to packing my briefcase hoping he’d get the hint and go away.

Ha, who was I kidding? It was Antonio we were talking about. Dude never takes a hint.

“Hey baby”, he said grinning

“What can II do for you, Antonio?”

“Can’t a man come over to see his best friend?”, he asked, making himself comfortable on the couch opposite where I sat.

“I’m busy”, I grumbled out

“Oh, come on, Alex, you can’t be too busy for your best bud”

Giving him the side eye, he raised his hands in surrender.

“Okay, fine. It’s been a while since we’ve hung out and I was thinking we could do some drinks tonight. Plus, it’s my cousin’s club opening tonight and I really don’t feel like going alone. Please, you gotta go with me, even if it’s for an hour or half”

“Do you have to go in the first place?”, I groaned knowing that if he pleaded well enough, he might actually be able to cajole me into going to the club with him.

I’m pretty sure the idiot was aware of this

“It’s the club’s official opening and it’s expected of us to be there as a sign of support. I would decline if I could. Please, pretty please”, he said, pouting.

“Enough with the theatrics, why don’t you find one of your many girlfriends to go with you?”

“Cause you’re the one I love”, he said with a wide toothed grin.

“You’re very stupid”

Laughing, he replied, “You know I can’t just take anyone to a family event. Please man, and hour tops and we’re out. Come on man”

“Fine”, I said, running a frustrated hand through my hair and down my face.

“One hour and I’m out”

“One hour and we’re out”, he affirmed.

Sighing once again, I said, “Lead the way”

“Yessssss”, he said, doing some sort of victory dance while I stood up to gather my things and head out.

“That’s why I love you, man”

“And I hate every thing that has to do with you”, I said gathering my things and walking towards the door.
