Alex ❤’s Jessie.
The story of Alex aka The Professor, man-whore, playboy and so on. Alex has never been serious about any woman he has been with, except for a quick lay. For so many years in his life that’s all they were to him, nothing else. He has up to 5 different women a week. Yes his the CFO of the English Brother’s company and his great at it, but when work ends for him, fun starts.
Lately Alex has been left feeling empty and unsatisfied no matter who or how great of a lay his next conquest was. He started asking himself why, but he could never put his finger on it. Until the day he saw his childhood friend Jessie again.
It has been 14 years since they last saw each other, that’s when Jessie left with her family for London. Seeing Alex for the first time after 14 years, made her heart flutter. He was not only gorgeous, he looked like a model for some magazines. She knew from stories she read that Alex is what they call a man-whore, he never has a serious girlfriend, all women is good for is for a quick lay, but Jessie didn’t care. She wanted Alex, whatever part he is willing to give her.
Alex tried his best to stay away from Jessie, even went as far as telling her how bad he is for her. Still, Jessie didn’t care, she felt she was a grown woman and she can make her own decision.
One day they finally gave up. They knew that no matter what they did, they could never push their feelings away. Their connection is undeniable and they gave in to it. Knowing that Jessie is only around for a 5 weeks for a holiday visit, they decided to give this thing they have a try. They became inclusive and instead of Alex running away scared, he was excited and love the feeling that came with belonging to Jessie only. Alex gave up all the women and gave himself only to Jessie for 5 weeks and Jessie was happy with that, but the more time they spent together.. the more they fell for each other. Would 5 weeks be enough to be together? The closer and closer they got to their ending, the more they realized 5 weeks will never be enough.

Will Alex and Jessie figure out a way to make a long distance relationship work?
Or will they give up each other’s dream to be together?
Or will they end their relationship and go back to their old lives?
No matter how much of the man-whore Alex was, I love the way he changed and gave up everything to be with Jessie. To him she was the one and the only one he will give everything up for. He was so attentive and sweet to Jessie and I think he is my 2nd favorite English Brother, next to Barrett of course.
Waiting for my next English Brother…
