The Twin Witches

Chapter 16

Second chance

Alex was nervously waiting for Freya at the bottom stairs. Fredrick was annoyingly teased him as he couldn't stand still. He tapped his right foot on the floor, turned around back and forth.

“Can you calm down?” Fredrick advised.

“What if she changes her mind? What if she doesn't like what I had prepared for her?” he mumbled.

“You're Alex Whitlock, you had been with girls before. You know what you are doing.” Fredrick stated.

It's true, he had been with girls before but he never dated with them. They had come to him not the other way around. This is his first time asking and taking someone on a date.

“She is not someone, she's our mate!” Luca reminded him. A clacking of heels was heard by him, he looked up and gawked at the beauty standing at the top of the stairs.

“Dude, close your mouth, flies could fly in and wipe that drool of yours.” Fredrick teased him and laughed. Freya walked down the stairs like a model. Her hips swayed every step she took.

“You look beautiful sis” Fredrick admired and hugged Freya. Alex growled at Fredrick as Fredrick backed away with hands up in surrender. Freya narrowed her eyes at Alex.

“I'm sorry” he said as he lowered his head in shame.

He took Freya's arm around his as they went out into his car. He opened the passenger door and helped her to get in.

They drove in silence, Alex glanced at Freya from time to time. He didn't want to say something that would ruin their date but the silence made him nervous even more.

“Spill it out,Alex”, he stepped on the break when he heard her voice.

“What the hell Alex? Do you want to kill us both?” Freya blurted.

“Sorry” he said as he pulled out on the side of the road. He looked at her with regret written all over his face.

“Freya, I’m so sorry for what I had said that day. As soon as the word came out of my mouth, I immediately regretted it. Please forgive me and give me a second chance to repair the damage I caused.” He begged at her as he gazed at the distance. If she didn't forgive him, his life would be nothing. He felt a warm hand on top of his, he turned his head into her as their gaze met. Freya smiled at him.

“I already forgiven you, Alex.”She told him, Alex went out of the car as Freya was stunned.

“Where were you g” Before Freya could finish her question, the passenger door opened as she was pulled by Alex who embraced her.

“Thank you, thank you”. He happily said. She caressed his face and kissed him on the lips. Alex was frozen on the spot before he realized what was happening Freya had already turned her head away from him.

“No, that doesn't count as our first kiss.” he said as he pulled her back and kissed her passionately. Her lips are so soft and silky. He nipped her lips and Freya gasped for the new sensation she felt. Alex stock his tongue into Freya's mouth as it dances with hers. They pulled away to catch their breath.

“You taste so sweet like vanilla,” he murmured.

“Mhm”

He smiled broadly at her and stroked her face gently.

“Thank you, Freya. Thank you for giving me a second chance.” He kissed her softly on the lips and pulled away.

“ We better continue our way or else we will be late for our dinner reservation.” Alex said as he closed the passenger door and climbed into the driver seat. He took Freya's hand and brought it into his lips. Alex was beaming inside. She had forgiven him and they had their first kiss. It was the best and sweetest kiss he had in his entire life.

Freya felt warm and fuzzy after that heated kiss they had. That was really a special moment of her life. Since she was fifteen she had dreamt of being kissed by him, to feel his lips on hers, his warm soft lips. Freya touched her lips and was lost in the memory of that heated moment. She felt Alex squeezed her hand he was holding since.

“You have to stop that sweetheart,” Alex said as he parked the car outside the Fountain of Youth restaurant. Freya blushed as she bit her lips. Alex groaned as he bent to her and kissed her.

“You will be the death of me.” He grumbled.

He opened the passenger door and helped her out of the car. She took her purse and went inside the restaurant. They were shown to their reserved table and a waitress came to give them the menu. The restaurant had an elegant design, it had luxurious furnishings and soft lighting inside. They looked at the menu and ordered. Anthony had a cowboy caviar and she chose scallion and caramelized onion dip for their appetizer. For the main course, she ordered a Creamy Tuscan Chicken while Alex had Creamy Chicken Roulade with Spinach and Mushrooms.

For dessert , Alex had Cheat's pine lime and caramel ice cream parfait while she had the Vanilla yoghurt panna cotta with sumac strawberries and arak strawberry. The food was delicious and satisfying. The service was good and handled professionally. Alex paid their bill and they left the restaurant. They went for a walk to a park nearby.

“Alex,” she called lightly to have his attention.

“What is it sweetheart?” Alex asked as he looked at her.

“Hm, nothing” she hesitated and looked down.

“You can always tell me what's bothering you, Freya.” He said as he caressed her cheeks lovingly.

They continued their walk and Freya was relieved. They walked and talked about some of their childhood memories, about schools and other stuff. They went back to his car and drove back to the palace. Alex kissed her goodnight and went to his wing.

“I see your date went well.” her mom said. Freya smiled widely.

“Are Ariana and Anthony back? She asks. Her mom raised her eyebrows at her.

“ Don't change the subject, I want details.”

“Mom “

“What? It has been a long time since I went on a date.” Sienna announced

“We can go on a date my love whenever you want.” Her father called from their bedroom. Her mom huffed.

“I thought he wouldn't ask,” her mom whispered.

Freya laughed and went to her bedroom to change.
