The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 66 River Falls
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
A genuine smile crept into my lip as I watched him cleaning in the living room. I really don’t expect him to agree when I told him that we will going to clean the whole house. I’m quite impressed, he actually knew how to do household chores.
Unexpected. I really thought it’s a good way to make him suffer. I guess, this is not his time.
“You looked more beautiful when you smile,” I blinked twice and the smile in my lips slowly vanished. He really loves to spoil the moment. What a way to make my mood change.
“You’re great when you shut your mouth,” I answered back which earns his chuckle. He even found my response funny, what a nice man he is.
He stopped wiping the table and looked at me completely.
“You’re rude, you know.” I stopped cleaning the window and faced him.
“Really? You’re annoying too, you know?”
“You are always telling me that love, don’t you have another words in your vocabulary to describe me? Like divinely handsome, or… smoking hot?” Geez? Is he serious? I would never say right in his face that he’s handsome, as in never. Yeah, I admitted that he really looked great but does it needed to say those words nor compliments to him?
I guess, it’s not necessary. I mean, you know yourself right? You don’t need to be complimented by others. Geez, sound so over-confident.
“Well?” He said that brought back my attention to him.
“I have a lot words in my vocabulary, but complimenting you good words aren’t there.” I counter back.
“Oh, that’s really rude and cruel of you. But it’s alright as long you’re not leaving me behind, I’ll bear all the pain.” Hell yeah, he’s being dramatic again.
“Whatever, Zach.” Opps, I accidentally mentioned his name, nah basically just his nickname. I quickly removed my gazed at him and just continue cleaning the windows.
“Zach, no one called me Zach except you. And I like it, from now on call me by that.” Ah, I think I already called him by that. Oh well, I usually don’t call him by his name. I always sarcastic nicknames like your highness or king. Sometimes, not addressing him.
“Umm, just resumed cleaning.” I said no, more on demanding. I sounded like I’m bossing him around which is clearly is? This is my own house, so… my house, my rule. Even though, my house is inside the kingdom’s territory, which is owned by him, that doesn’t mean that he owns this house too. Nah, that’s a big no. He’s just the ruler of the whole kingdom but he doesn’t own or possessed all the houses and establishments inside the territory.
“Yes, my queen.” He answered that brought back the smile in my lip. He’s being cooperative and submissive now. Not really him. I just shook my head and focused on what I’m doing.
We spend half of the day cleaning the house and when we are done, I’m very tired and hungry… again. We are both seating down on the couch and watching the accomplishment we had done. It’s quite refreshing to see this cabin pristine and in order again.
“Are you alright?” I heard him asked me.
“Yeah, just a little tired and hungry. How about you?” I asked while moving my gazed at him.
“Fine but hungry too.” He answered honestly. Ah, I have some stocked food here when I’m still here but I think it’s expired and no longer can eat. How is this? Should we go back at the market? It’s quite far and time consuming.
An idea comes into my head. I stood up from the couch and signs him to follow me.
“Where are we going?” He asked confusedly.
“We will catch fish in the river falls near here. You wanted to come or you’ll just going to stay here?” I asked while raising a brow.
“There’s a river falls near here?”
“Yeah, there is. You’ll come or not?” I asked impatiently. He stood up from the couch quickly.
“Of course, I’ll come. Come on.” I nodded and turned my back on him. We leaved the house together and go inside the woods.
We reached the river falls in ten minutes. Oh, how I miss this place. It’s still clean and refreshing like before, nothing changed at all.
“This is awesome, how pity that I didn’t even know that a place like this exist.” I glanced at him.
“Yeah, it is. But surely, you saw a lot of places like this.” I saw him nodded his head and looked around the area.
“Yes, but not as beautiful as this.” I just nodded too.
“Anyway, how we will catch fish?” he asked suddenly. That’s when I smirked, “You’re not an alpha king for nothing right? I’m sure you can catch fish without using anything.” I said that made him looked at me with disbelief in his eyes.
“You mean I’ll go in the water and catch fishes with my bare hands?” I nodded my head and gave him a challenging smile.
“If you thought that way, then… that’s what you will going to do.” Geez, why he can’t be resourceful? Like creating spears to catch fishes? Although, he’s not normal, he can catch fish without those stuffs.
“Are you kidding me now?” Ah, ah, did he lose his temper now?
“You don’t want to do it? Then, I’ll do it by my own. I’m hungry and wanted to eat.” I was about to start removing my shirt but he grabbed my hand to stop me.
“Don’t. Okay fine, I’ll do it.” He surrendered which made me smile.
“Great, you can start fishing now.” I amusedly ordered. He let go off my hand and then slowly started to get rid of his upper clothes. I quickly everted my eyes on him.
Don’t look at him Alizah, just don’t.
“Why aren’t you looking at me?”
“Do I need to look at you?” I replied causally to hide my embarrassment.
“You can’t look at me it’s either you’re shy or you find me hot and handsome.” I quickly gazed at him. Where does he get that idea? How confident he is?
I rolled my eyes on him.
“Don’t talk, just start fishing.” I sassed out. I looked around me and searched for some place I can stay at, while waiting for him can get something that we can eat for lunch.
“Okay madam, as you wish.” As he said that he went towards the water. I amusedly smiled when I saw his reaction, the water is probably cold.
“You can do it, go your highness.” I clear for him but he only glared at me. I just laughed and moved towards a wide and long stone near to the water and to him. I think, I’ll enjoy this moment.
