The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 57 Promises
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Look at you, your cheeks were turning scarlet haha,” I can’t help but to laugh just upon looking at him. Damn, he looked so cute now, but of course, I won’t going to tell it to him. I don’t want him to think that I found him adorable.
Like duh, I won’t say any words that might please him. If I would, that would be just a mistake. I’m not in my right mind, like now, I admit that I’m a little tipsy but not drunk. He looked seriously at me, but a seconds later, he smiled widely.
“Why don’t you look to yourself too? You looked really drunk,” He said with a smirk lurking in his lips. I grinned wider too and rested my hand on the table while looking directly in his eyes.
“Who said I’m drunk? It’s you who is drunk,” He smirked and put his face closer to mine. I didn’t leaned back, instead, I met his stares bravely.
“Really? but you looked like one now.” I raised an eyebrow, how could he say that? I gave him a challenging look.
“I’m not, if you don’t believe me? I don’t care,” His smirked widened.
“Sure, you’re not.” As he said that, he leaned back on the couch. My eyebrow furrowed, he didn’t believe me, isn’t he?
“I said I’m not drunk!” he looked at me, he’s clearly amused and I don’t f*uc*king like it.
“Stop looking at me like that,” I said empathically, slightly closing my eyes. I don’t like the way he looked at me, I feel like he’s making fun of me.
“Chill, what are you so angry about now?” I glared at him, seriously? He’s asking me that? argh, why I’m so grumpy again? I think the liquor is having an effect on my system now. But nah, I won’t let him win.
“Nothing,” I sass out, and leaned back on my seat also.
“Shall we continue the game?” I continued while yawning, I glance over the window, it’s still dark outside. I shook my head to wake up myself, don’t get too much distracted Alizah, you should win this game.
“Of course, we will, but are you still okay? You know, we can stop this game if you wanted to sleep now,” He said that only earns my death glare, is he really challenging me?
“Do I look not okay in your eyes?” I snapped out. He shook his head and sat properly.
“Nah, you’re perfectly fine in my eyes.” Why I heard sarcasm in his voice? I blink twice and switch my seat next to him.
I crossed my leg and looked seriously at him.
“What do you mean by the sarcasm in your voice, alpha king?” he looked at me with smile in his face, clearly he’s having fun, a lot of fun now huh?
“There’s no sarcasm in my voice, mate.” He replied, do I need to believe that? I fixed my hair and raised an eyebrow at him.
“I don’t believe you, I believe in my ear. I heard you being sarcastic on me,” I still insisted. He sat properly while still staring at me.
“Believe me now, I won’t lie to you. Never, look…” he held my hand and bring it closer to his lips.
“I would never lie on you again, I’ve learn my lesson. Lying would hurt you, if possible I don’t want you to feel any pain caused by me. If ever I hurt you, please remember that I didn’t mean it.” Why the conversation became like this again?
I pulled my hand on his gripped and smiled slightly, “Okay then, as you said so. I just hope that you’re not lying to me. I just want you to know also, if ever I found out that you’re lying… it would be h*arder for you to earn my trust.” I answered back.
“What do you mean about that? does that mean that you’re trusting me now?” I can heard hope in his voice. I chuckled while shaking my head. Geez.
“That was not what I mean, yeah, maybe I trust you, not fully but a little. Think about this, If I don’t trust you, do you think I’m here right now drinking with you?” I questioned with a smile in my lips. A second of silence, he able to cope out with shocked. He smiled widely and pulled me closer to him without any permission to embrace me a hug.
“You made me really happy now,” he whispered while still embracing me. I smiled and partly closed my eyes. Slowly, I hug him back. It’s not a bad thing, right? We k*issed already. Hugging won’t be a big deal.
I feel his body tensed up a little, but later on, he put his hand on my back and hugged me even tighter. I admitted, he’s the second guy who got intimate at me like this. Well, my father was the first. For how so many years, someone hugged me again like this. It’s really a heart-warming situation.
I rested my head on his shoulder and sigh.
“Are you sleepy?” I heard him asked. Yeah, we’ve been drinking for how many hours now. It’s unfair actually, I think I will eat the words I’ve said in my mind earlier. I don’t expect him to have this high alcohol tolerance. I mean, he’s been drinking with his cousins and friends this afternoon, but he’s still not drunk enough to sleep.
“A little, but I will be okay. I’ll remain awake,” I answered while sitting down properly. He held my hand and made me looked at his eyes.
“It’s okay honey, you can sleep now. Don’t force yourself, let’s end up this game.” Really?
“How about the bet?” I asked him. He shook his head and k*issed my forehead.
“Let’s forget about that too,” He answered smilingly. A little by little, the edge of my lips rose to show a genuine smile.
“Okay then, let’s get going. We need to sleep now,” As I said that, I stand up from the couch. He smiled and stood up too. He leaned his hand in front of me, I didn’t think twice and accept it.
“Sure, my queen.” I bit my inner lips preventing myself to smile again. He opened the door for us to went out the room. As we got out, he snakes his hand around my waist and lead me back to our room.
