I hate doing this to him.
"We'll talk more when I get home. Goodbye." Beep. Beep. Beep.
The line goes dead.
I turn to Alpha Reagan.
"You have to fix this." "You can't askto do that. That young man sounded very pissed, there's no way I'm going ahead to resolve this issue. He's going to givea proper scolding and I don't like getting scolded. I could cry." He blabbers and I watch him with my eyeballs stretched open to their limit.
What? What the hell did he just say? "Excuse me, are you high?" "I am not high!" I sigh in disbelief, shaking my head. This man truly loses his mind when he's in my presence.
"Since you've refused to resolve this issue for fear of getting scolded, I'll do it myself. But just so you know, the next tyou stand beforeand try to..." Another interruption by my cell phone again. It's still in my hand so I check the caller ID.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA heavy sigh of relief leaves my chest when I see that it isn't Ryan calling again.
"Hello." I greet after swiping the answer icon and pressing the phone against my ear.
"Ashanti?" The person on the other end of the call asks, it's a masculine voice and it sounds very familiar.
I heard that voice today and it was at the Fashion and Design hall.
Léonard Kirk.
It's no one else but him.
"Yes, it's Ashanti." "Great. Ashanti, it's me, Leonard. How are you doing?" "I'm doing okay, thank you. And you?" "Never been better. I noticed you left the hall already." My face breaks into a wide smile. Alpha Reagan on the other hand, starts frowning and the look on his face tellshe wants to know who I'm speaking with.
Right now! "Oh, yeah. I left a while ago.
"That's rather sad. I was hoping to see you again." "Oh..." "Anyway, that doesn't mean I can't see you again. What do you say abouttaking you out for dinner tonight?" He asks sweetly and I don't know why, but my eyes flicker to Alpha Reagan and yes... he heard it.
His brows are nearly touching his hairline and he has this wild look in his eyes that would have scaredif I didn't know him too well.
He looks like he wants to set something on fire.
"Who's that?" He mouths the question. I ignore him.
"You want to takeout to dinner tonight?" "If you'd permitto?" Leonard answers over the phone.
Alpha Reagan starts shaking his head in denial with his eyes wide open.
"Tell him no!" He mouths yet again, this taround, accompanied with hand gestures.
"I'd love for you to takeout to dinner, Leonard." "Great! What tis good for you?" "Say... six pm!" "Perfect! I'll make a reservation right now and cpick you up by five-thirty. Are you okay with that plan?" "It's perfect. Thank you." "No. I should be thanking you for accepting to go out on a date with me. It's an honour." My cheeks heat up as a heated blush spreads on my cheeks. He's sweet, okay? And Alpha Reagan is losing his cool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You're too kind." "I look forward to spending this evening with you, Ash. See you at five thirty." "Yeah. See you." He hangs up.
I dare not look at Alpha Reagan's face. We've arrived at my house and the car has stopped in the driveway.
"Who was that?" He asks sharply. I turn to him.
"None of your business." He lets out a frustrated sigh.
"Why is he taking you out for dinner?"
"That's still none of your business." I put my cell phone in my bag and carry it. My hand is on the door lock as I look at him again. "He even called you "Ash". Why?" "Because it's short for Ashanti."
"No one calls you Ash, except me." He sounds like he's abou e's about to cry and it hurtsto do this to him, but I have to.
"Don't be such a baby. Anyone can callAsh." I unlock the car door om and push it open. "Kave to go now and rest before it's tfor my date." "Ashanti you've still not toldwho's ta..." "Thank you very much for the ride." I cut him off with a dry smile on my lips. "Have a nice day." With that, I step out of the car and the moment I close the door behind me, a triumphant smile forms on my face.
Who got the last laugh? X
