ALPHA'S MATE

CHAPTER-18

EMILY'S POV,

I woke up with a sudden shiver because of the cold. I looked out the window, the sun had just risen.

I looked around the room it was a light lavender color with a bluish hue.

The furniture is modern designed matching the room's color and giving the room a vibrant look. The bed is huge, not the type you usually see. Everything seemed newly renovated.

I can say I had one of the best sleep I have had till now.

I got out of bed and went to freshen up.

Last night Alexander showed me where to find extra brush in the washroom. I took a one-time brush and brushed my teeth. There were all kinds of skin care soap shampoo. I washed my face with one of those.

This room had a big balcony with a balcony swing and small flower and decoration plants.

“Doesn’t matter how I look it is too good to be a guest room.” I thought to myself.

As I slid open the balcony a fresh wind came in. I breathed in the fresh breeze, it felt like my every tiredness ran away.

I walked up to the balcony railing and saw a gym made of glass.

Someone was working out, that person had a perfectly proportioned body.

His back was facing towards me so I couldn’t see who it was clearly.

When he looked towards me I saw it was Alexander.

When our eyes met he gave a big smile.

Seeing him smile like that my heart skipped a bit.

I could feel blood flowing towards my cheeks and I ran into the room.

“Why am I feeling like this!” I thought to myself.

I think a lot of time went by while blushing and thinking. I heard light noises from outside.

I went to see; what I saw I can surely not forget for a long time.

A handsome – hot guy was working in the kitchen. It was peaceful to the eyes.

I walked to him and said, “Good morning, Alexander."

"good morning. Did you sleep well?" he replied with a smile.

"yes, I slept well." I said.

“kind of slept too well,” I said in my mind.

Seeing him cook I asked, "Do you need any help with cooking?"

"Yes! I do need one help from you." Alexander replied while working.

"Tell me," I asked how could I help.

"I want you to call me Alex," he said with a smile resting both hands on the counter and my head on them.

For a moment it felt like I was lost in his eyes and I think I even forgot to breathe.

When I came back to earth from my Imagination, I said, "Yeah sure. Alex."

His eyes lit up when he heard me call him Alex. His happiness could be seen in his eyes and face.

"So Alex do you need help with anything?" I asked.

"You can only help me by eating these. Just wait for it to be done." he replied with a smile.

I couldn’t take my eyes off from a working Alex.

They say the truth; a working man is the best in one’s eyes.

“Would you like juice or coffee?” Alex asked bringing me out of my thoughts.

“I would love a cup of coffee please,” I said with a smile. I know I am blushing and all, also prayed that it’s not visible on my face.

He gave me a plate of pancakes, scrambled eggs, and a perfect cup of coffee.

“Here have some.” He said to me.

“Thanks for the food,” I said with a smile.

I knew the coffee was perfect even before drinking it from its aroma.

“What a perfect coffee,” I said drinking it.

A smile spread across Alex’s face.

“Glad that you liked it.” He said affectionately with a smile on his face.

Not so surprisingly the pancake was yummy too.

He sat down and ate with me, while eating he said, “I sent someone to bring Lily’s car here. I took keys from her and sent a guard to bring it here.”

“You didn’t need to but thanks for the help,” I replied with a shy smile.

I still don’t know why I feel shy under his gaze.

“I think there’s still some time before everyone wakes up. Why don’t you look around the house?” Alex said.

“Okay! Is there any place I shouldn’t enter?” I asked.

“There’s a room at the very right corner of this floor. That is my office. I don’t mind you entering but the place is in a mess right now. I don’t think you will like what you see.” Alex said.

“Yeah, okay.” I said with a smile.

I tried to help with the cleaning after I ate, but Alex said a definite no and sent me for a tour of his massive house.

If I didn’t know well I might as well say this a fairy tale castle.

This floor is well decorated with light colors and modern furniture and is well organized.

I thought Alex might like dark colors like those CEOs in the novels.

But surprisingly he likes colors that I would like in my house. I could never guess this.

I saw a gaming room, a mini theater where we saw the movie last night, kitchen. There were only three rooms on this floor excluding Alex’s office. The rooms are good but I have to agree, the room I stayed in last night is the best when I compare.

After I finished my tour, I saw Lili and Grover coming upstairs.

“Morning, Em’ ” Lily said with sleepy eyes and hugged me almost falling asleep on me.

“good morning sleepy head. Wake up. Have breakfast. We need to go back.” I said hugging her back with a laugh.

“Oh, yeah, right. I forgot.” She said rubbing her eyes.

“Good morning Emily. Did you sleep well last night?” Grover said with a mysterious smile.

“Good morning, Grover. I did have a fabulous sleep last night. Thanks for asking.” I replied with a smile.

“Did you have breakfast yet em’?” Lily asked.

“Yep, I just had. Go and eat now or we will be late.” I urged.

“hmm…” then Grover led her to the kitchen and I went back to the room I was provided to use the washroom and get ready to go back.

But I wouldn’t say I liked the thought of leaving this place. I don’t know why!

After getting ready I joined Lily and Grover, Ian and Rose also joined us in the meantime and Alex was there from the beginning. We all were talking and laughing.

I quite like the idea of staying together like that.

By talking with them I got to know that Alex, Grover, and Ian are some kind of long-distance relatives and do business together and live together.

I liked the vibe here…

A happy and lively vibe. They all felt like…family!
