An hour later, Medrielle was busy getting ready for her date with Brock. She was sitting on her bed thinking of what to wear when her cell phone rang. She looked at the screen and saw Brock's name appear. "Hello and good morning," she said.
"Well, good morning to you gorgeous, Brock replied. I hope you are well and wanted to say what a great time I had with you last night, but regrettably, I'll have to reschedule. Something has come up. "
"I hope everything is OK," Medrielle replied as she could hear the irritation in his voice. "I understand, and I had a nice time with you as well. I won't have a day off until Sunday. Let me know if you can fit me into your busy schedule, Alpha Brock. "
"Alpha Brock? Oh no, it sounds like I'm in the dog house. You're calling me Alpha Brock and not just Brock. I really am sorry. I wanted to see you. I miss your beautiful smile, "he said with a sigh.
"No worries, Brock, she emphasized, I understand, I was just giving you a hard time. I hope we can get together soon, talk to you later", she said and ended the call.
She laid back on her bed. What is she going to do now? She was hoping to get out of the house, away from Alpha Prince, especially now that she had probably pissed him off when she laughed at him at breakfast. She wished Addi was available, but she was busy with Beta running errands. She lay there looking up at the ceiling, wishing her plans with Brock hadn't been canceled.
She thought back to her date with Brock. She had fun but it wasn't what she expected. She wasn't as attracted to him anymore. She couldn't understand why.
He was very good looking, an incredible body, great personality that made her laugh all night, but she just couldn't see herself kissing him, or in a relationship other than friends. She wasn't sure if she should continue to lead him on or just tell him the next time they were together.
He could have anyone he wanted, and he was still looking for his mate, so she figured he would understand she just wanting to be friends.
She rose from her bed and decided to take a shower. She would get dressed to walk around the pack to get some sun and get away from Mr. Grumpy pants, Alpha Gage.
Hopefully, her ankle will be healed enough. She was just buckling up her sandals when she heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in," she said.
Daisy ran into her room. "Medrielle," she said with enthusiasm, "Our daddy is taking us to the park for a picnic." She grabbed Medrielle's hand, "Please come with us, it will be so much fun. "
Medrielle looked up towards her door, and saw Alpha Gage standing in the hall holding Lily in his arms.
"Daisy, he said, "Medrielle has plans. Today is her day off. I'm sure she has had enough of you little monsters these past two weeks, " he said as he playfully roughed up the hair on the top of her Lily's head.
"Please, Medrielle, come with us," both the girls whined. Medrielle looked over to them and saw the disappointment on their pretty faces. She looked at Alpha Gage, and he also seemed to have a look of disappointment on his face. Maybe he was still upset from earlier or just in a hurry to get out the door? Medrielle also couldn't help notice Daisy's and Lily's hair was a mess.
"Well, my plans were canceled. She looked up to see a grin on Alpha Gage's face, which he quickly turned back into a frown. "I can at least comb your hair before you go running around the pack looking like you have no brush or comb."
Lily climbed down from her dad's arms, and all three of the girls went into the bathroom. Alpha stood at the door while Medrielle quickly combed their hair into tight ballerina buns on the top of their heads with a couple of berets to match their outfits.
He smiled to himself as he thought back to his phone call earlier with Alpha Romero. Before hanging up, he made sure to remind him about the report that he and Alpha Brock were working on for the next Alpha meeting. The fact that Alpha Romero was leaving the area for a couple of weeks meant today would be ideal to get it completed. Alpha Romero thanked him and said he would call Brock right away to make sure they met immediately, which led to Brock's cancellation with Medrielle today.
***
Gage couldn't help being in a better mood knowing Medrielle wouldn't be hanging out with Brock today. He was brought back from his thoughts with the squeals from his girls as they did twirls in front of him to show off their hair.
He laughed and quickly stopped and cleared his throat. He looked over to Medrielle and said, "I know it's your day off, you probably want to relax, but you are more than welcome to join us at the park. I organized a picnic and it's beautiful outside. "
Medrielle looked at him and was really surprised he asked her to join them. She decided to go along with them since her plan was to get some sun and what better way than to have a picnic at the park. "OK," she said," I'll come along if it's not too much trouble? I don't want to impose on your time with the girls. "
"It's really alright, Medrielle, I'll mostly sit on the blanket and watch them in the jungle gym and swings. I'm afraid I can't really play on the park equipment as it wasn't made for a six foot nine, two hundred fifty pound alpha and not to mention, my pinky toe is still a little sore." They all laughed as Medrielle thought to herself, "What do you know? He has a sense of humor, after all. "
They all walked to the elevator. Medrielle's ankle was still a little sore. Gage asked her if she was sure she was OK, and she shook her head yes.
When they arrived at the park, the girls quickly ran to play with their friends. Gage and Medrielle set out the blanket they had brought and took a seat on it. Medrielle was surprised he didn't bring his lab top.
She watched him as he kept his eyes on his daughters. He followed them with such intensity that she knew he loved them so much and could never bear losing them. She felt her heart swell. Maybe he wasn't as bad as she thought he was.
On their walk over to the park, everyone they met along the way greeted him with smiles and looks of admiration. Alpha greeted them with a smile as well. She loved to see his smile and wished he would use it more than the scowl he had on his face all the time.
She heard him clear his throat and looked his way. He was staring at her as if he were waiting for her response. Oh crap, what did she miss?
"Medrielle, her name from his lips made butterflies in her stomach fly. Did you hear me? "
"I'm so sorry, Alpha Prince. Could you please repeat that for me?"
"Yes, of course, he said, would you like something to eat or drink, I packed plenty of food."
"Sure, she said, what did you bring to drink?" she asked as she rummaged through the basket. She noticed he had packed sandwiches, fruit, chips, soda, water, a few bottles of Snapple, plates, napkins, and utensils. He had thought of everything. She was pretty impressed. She grabbed a strawberry kiwi Snapple and asked if he wanted anything.
"Water for me please, he said, never taking his eyes off of his pups. She handed him a water bottle, and his eyes shifted towards her. For a quick second, she thought she caught him smiling.
She continued to watch him as he opened his water and took a long drink. She could see his adam's apple moving up and down, and a sudden desire to kiss it flooded her.
Medrielle shook her head to remove her thoughts when she noticed droplets of water on his lips, and then, with a slight movement of his tongue, he licked them off. She felt her panties get damp, wishing he would use that tongue and lips on her. She closed her eyes and envisioned his soft lips, placing small kisses down her neck.
Suddenly she smelled his scent so strong, she opened her eyes and his face was right next to hers! It scared her, and she jumped back. He started laughing and waving his arms at a bee that had landed on her shoulder.
