AWE

Skye had opted to listen to the Alpha, knowing full well that it was her clumsiness is the reason why she was alone now and her future husband was running ragged throughout the entire park area just to find some ice. The man’s tall muscular form eventually caught her line of sight as the man walked back to the car with a bag full of things.

She stayed seated as Hakan opened the car door once more, pulling out a towel and small ice packets before placing them on her head, holding them with one hand before ruffling through the rest of the contents of the bag. Skye took it upon herself to hold the makeshift ice pack, a surprising grateful smile appearing on the Alpha’s face, as he continued rummaging through the bag.

Hakan pulled out a bottle of water, opening it up before handing it over to her, “Drink some water. I don’t know what kind of snack you wanted but I got you a variety of things since dinner is still four hours away.” He said softly, as he opened up the plastic bag that has a couple of packets of chips and some candies.

Skye just gave the Alpha a small nod with a smile, a sign of her thank you as she took a swig off the bottle. Despite her sharp tongue from earlier, she knows how to thank people, even the arrogant alpha in front of her that was on his knees outside of the car just so he could make sure that she was not hurt, not that he would avoid another of her word lashing.

The alpha returned inside the car once Skye was comfortable enough, this time he was the one who took charge of the music as Skye continued rubbing her throbbing head with the ice. No conversation was shared between the two, the only sound in the car was the music, the crackle of the bags of chips, and the subtle munching.

“Where are we going for dinner? I’ll at least know how much to eat and not spoil my appetite in the process,” Skye said as she opened another smaller bag of chips, lowering her backrest as she kept on eating the chips. She watched from the corner of her eye as the alpha pulled out his phone before scrolling through it and making a phone call.

“Around 7 pm? All right. Thanks. Have a good day!” Hakan turned over and gave her a small smile before shaking his phone, as If that was his answer to everything yet Skye just nodded, understanding what he wanted to say before continuing on her snack.

“We still have around three to four hours of free time. Where do you want to go?” Skye shrugged, not knowing where to go. She wasn’t the type of person that would go out to town every chance possible, that was her elder twin. She was the girl who preferred to stay at home and read or maybe cook something.

“I don’t know. I don’t go to the town that often, so I never really knew what kinds of things are out there. It's my twin who often goes out of town with her friends, well I don’t think she would be going out again, after what happened..” Hakan watched as Skye trailed off with her words, a far-off look in her eyes.

“Then, what are your hobbies? Maybe I could bring you somewhere you would enjoy.” Skye could see the effort that the man was giving to make sure she was comfortable, by his mother’s orders if she was remembering and overhearing their conversation earlier before they left. She had accidental eye contact with the man before she looked away first, shrugging.

“You were the one who’s supposed to ‘take care of me’ today. Let’s go wherever you want to go.” She didn’t want to sound ungrateful to the man but it seems as though the Alpha had taken her words a little differently with the way his black eyes hooded and his body became closed off. 

If her pride would have allowed her to speak honestly, she would have admitted that she didn’t have any clue about where to go in town. She doesn’t know where the malls, cafes, markets, and shops are. The only thing she knows in the city is her university, hence she couldn’t direct the Alpha where she wanted to go. She didn’t know the city that well. It was her twin’s playground, not hers.

Skye righted her seat once she felt the car engine start up, cleaning up after herself and putting the empty bags of chips back inside the plastic bag before using some of the tissue inside the car and cleaning her mouth and fingers. 

“Seatbelt.” She did his order without a second thought, glancing at him from the side of her eyes. Before pulling out a tissue paper and handing it over to the Alpha.

“Wipe your mouth, there are some crumbs around your lips.” She muttered as she watched him take the tissue away, pulling her hand away before they could even have any skin-to-skin contact. Hakan did so as she had asked before he drove out of the park.

They traveled through the city for a couple of minutes before the car turned to a huge building, Skye watched from the passenger seat window as she stared at the huge building with wide eyes. Hakan heard the small gasps of awe coming from her, and his small scowl turned into a smile as he turned another curve as drove down to the basement parking.

“Where are we?” Skye asked as the car stopped, turning towards Hakan with her still wide and awed eyes. The alpha just gave her a genuine smile before he got out of the car, confused Skye followed after the man as Hakan locked the car behind them. 

“Just follow me. I have a feeling that you would enjoy this.” Unconsciously reaching out for her hand as Skye continued to look around the area, not noticing when they got into skin-to-skin contact. Hakan led Skye to the basement elevator, smiling more when he felt the giddy anticipation bubbling from Skye’s hand.

This is going to be fun.
