Chapter 56 Alex Is Nicole’s Dear Friend



"Are you okay, doc?"

Alex heard Nicole's voice first and then saw her face after a few seconds as she got away from him.

Apparently, Nicole's hands had turned into a tough shield and she had wrapped herself around Alex, protecting him.

Nicole didn't suffer a lot of injuries and when Alex checked her stitches, they were intact and didn't open up.

Alex heaved a sigh of relief and said, "thank you."

Nicole shook her head. "It's nothing. I should be the one thanking you."

"Are we out of danger?" Alex asked the important question.

Nicole nodded. "There don't seem to be any more terrorists."

"Are you—"

RATATATATATATATA!

"FUCKING BITCH!" Nicole cursed and dragged Alex down behind the barrier of the freeway, protecting herself and him.

"How in the world did these guys survive?" Nicole was dumbfounded. She thought the bikers were all dead!

Alex smiled and shook his head. If only things were this easy.

He went to the side and slowly distanced himself from Nicole.

"Where are you going?"

"I see guns. Wait a second." Alex said and from his inventory, dropped the SMG and Ak-47 on the ground.

He took them and came back to Nicole. "Here, this is loaded and there was also ammo."

"Good job." Nicole was happy they had a weapon with them now. "Do you know how to operate a gun?"

"Yes. I learned it in the shooting range, that's where I met your sister, remember?" Alex reminded her.

"Right. Right. You take the left, I take the right." Nicole instructed and both got to shooting whoever came their way.

"Won't I be in trouble with the police if I kill—"

"ALEX, I AM THE LAW!" Nicole shouted in the heat of the moment and ran away to shoot the bikers.

Her arms could turn into a tough shield and she didn't have a problem running after the terrorists.

Alex could tell that she was a Blessed and it made sense to him.

If she wasn't a Blessed, she wouldn't be a high ranking officer.

As Nicole had instructed, Alex took the left and finally shot down all the enemies.

He didn't have plans to get into a conflict with El Vizan this early, but it seems like fate wanted him to get things done earlier.

Far away in the heavens…

Achoo!

Fate rubbed her nose and wondered, "is husband thinking of me?"

"He's probably cursing his fate for being shitty and getting him into such bad situations." Scarlett, eating marshmallows alongside Athena, said calmly.

Athena was eating marshmallows too.

Turning to look at the two, Fate was firstly dumbfounded.

She couldn't help but think of the marshmallows as Athena's head.

"Cannibalism," she said as she looked at Athena eat her own self.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Alex and Nicole got into a series of trouble on foot as well.

Thankfully, Nicole had her phone with her and used her agents to get themselves to safety.

Austin was put into a temporary lockdown.

All vehicles, people, and everything from the road was made clear.

There was nothing on the streets temporarily and whoever was present, was shot down.

People were in fear and complaining.

However, when told that there were deadly terrorists, they calmed down and kept themselves at home or in whatever institutions they were in.

With such clearance, the army got a chance to work properly and they secured the entirety of Austin, eventually getting Alex and Nicole to safety.

Alex was taken to Nicole's home present in the richest neighbourhood of Austin. It was secure and really luxurious.

Alex didn't have to worry anymore here since this was an army chief's home.

He rested outside while Nicole repeatedly placed orders and instructed the army as well as police to clear things up and take away the lockdown.

The terrorists were all hunted down, Blesseds were used by the army to take further action, and finally after two hours, everything was back to normal.

Nicole sat down on a bench at the gate of her luxurious mansion beside Alex and said, "it was a tough day, wasn't it doc?"

Alex nodded. "Just call me Alex now."

Nicole chuckled. "Beer?"

"No. And you aren't allowed to have it as well." Alex reminded her.

"Tch. I wonder if having you as a friend is a curse or something. Don't eat this, don't do that, don't breathe loudly… like damn." Nicole seemed frustrated after being denied the beer.

Alex chuckled. "It is what it is."I think you should take a look at

He then got up and said, "anyway, I should get going."

"Do I ask someone to drop you off?" Nicole asked.

Alex shook his head. "I'll go in a taxi."

"No. I'll ask someone to drop you off." Nicole wasn't gonna take a no from Alex once he mentioned the taxi.

Why should the person who saved her life take a taxi when she was here? Nicole reasoned.

Alex just wanted to meet Arl and get his phone…

"H, take Doctor Alex to his home." Nicole said on her phone and a BMW XM came out of the gates of her mansion.

Nicole went to the driver and said, "Doctor Alex is really dear to me. If he gets even a single scratch then…"

The driver was sweating buckets hearing this. Still, he maintained a professional look and said respectfully, "I'll put my life on the line if need be, Ma'am. Please do not worrry."

"Good." Nicole said and then went to Alex to bid him farewell.

As Alex went off, Nicole said while waving her hand, "see you soon."

"ALEXXXXXXXXXX!"

Janet yelled as she saw Alex and hugged him.

"WHERE WERE YOU!?" She broke the hug and asked him with a serious as well as worried face.

She almost had a heart attack when she got no call or anything from him.

"Let's go in, mom. I'll explain everything." Alex said and tried to calm everybody down.

Melissa seemed sad as well and hugged Alex the moment Janet left him.

Her sadness was fake since she knew the whole picture, but she had to put on an act because of family.

However, though such was the case, she really did miss Alex and that feeling wasn't fake.

Everybody went inside and once settled, a barrage of questions hit Alex.

It was as if there was rapid fire going on.

Alex's and Nix's family asked him everything ranging from where were you? What were you doing? Who was the man in the BMW who dropped you here? Why didn't you have your phone? Why did you lose your phone?

And so on and so forth.

For the next hour and a half, Alex did nothing but answer the questions while sipping on coffee and eating some pasta that David cooked.

Finally when everyone was satisfied with everything, Alex excused himself and went to his room.

"Our boy is so hardworking. Even during a terrorist attack, he was out there saving people." Josh said with a proud smile.

Janet nodded. "Though, I hope he saves himself first before others when such a bad situation arises again."

Nobody disagreed with that and the talks of him continued between the two families.

Upstairs…

"Husbandddd!" Melissa jumped on Alex and the two fell down on the bed.

She showered him with lots of kisses and said, "I missed you so much!"

She truly did. Even though it was just for a day, she really missed him.

The mortal body's sense of time was something she had to follow now that she was in a mortal world. Hence, even a day felt really long to her.

Alex felt warm when he met Melissa again and got so many kisses.

Even though it was too much, he didn't hate being loved like this.

Alex wrapped his arm around her waist and hugged her while she continued to kiss him.

They did a passionate kiss as well after a while and Melissa wanted things to escalate further, but Alex politely stopped her and said, "honey, I wanna talk about something."

"Is it more important than seggs?" Melissa asked.

"Uhh…" Alex had to rethink now. It wasn't as important as having sex with his cute wife, but it really was important…

"It isn't, I guess." Alex gave in and said honestly.

"Good. Fill me up first, and then we'll talk as much as you want." Melissa said and kissed Alex back, sealing his lips.

Clothes went flying in the next instant and the bed made squeaking noises while moans reverberated in the room.

The bed sheets were soon stained wet with suspicious liquids and thankfully, in all of this, the room was made sound proof otherwise things would've been really bad.

By the time Melissa was satisfied, it was morning of the next day and Alex was in mood to talk anymore.

He was really sleepy and slept with Melissa in his embrace.

The talk that he wanted to have got delayed further…
