15: Dressing For My Date

Ryder's POV
That kiss was beautiful. It was like fireworks exploded in my head. I knew right there and then that she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I remembered her flustered face as we pulled away. She was so beautiful. Her blue eyes reminds me so much of the ocean. Whenever she is angry,her eyes look like waves crashing unto the beach.

Sleep found me easily tonight in contrast to a normal day. I saw her beautiful face once more and fell into the best slumber I've had since she died.

The next morning
I woke up with a start. Something was terribly wrong. I could feel it. Though everything seemed normal, the birds I loved hearing so much weren't singing. I couldn't even hear the flutter of their wings. Why were the birds in hiding?

I stood up and went to my window, and true to my ears, there were no birds at all.
What's wrong...?
I went into the bathroom to wash my face. Although I hadn't taken a bath yet I still looked okay.

I turned and looked around my ocean themed room. I had it repainted after I met Alexandra. Her ocean blue eyes were all I could see at night and it felt nice knowing I had a somewhat connection to her. My Liverpool themed bed was at the right hand side of my room. 85 had a drawer on both sides which held some documents. My walk-in closet was right next to my bathroom. I also have a book shelf leaning on my north wall. Leaning o. The East Wall is my mirror and vanity table. Ykj may be wondering why but I like to dress myself up sometimes..... Well that's a lie, it was actually for her. She loved dressing up. She always wanted to look pretty. That was before she died.
I shook my head trying to get rid of the feeling.
'If only we listened to her.' My wolf said making me feel even worse.
'Shr is gone. Ashton, she is gone!'
'Do you think I don't know that, Ryder? After all, we are the cause of her death.,' Ashton shouted in my head. I think I have a migraine. I shut him out angrily.

"Alpha, your wife is asking of you." A pack member came into the room. I groaned and went down.
I found Bella in my office with Brian. What does he want?
"We need to talk about who gets Alexa." What? Does he think of her as an object.
"Who gets her? Brian, nobody gets her. She decides who she wants. Moreover, she is not an object. You shouldn't be here, you have someone waiting for you in America. You have rejected her so you can't even call yourself her mate." I said facing a shocked Brian.
"I didn't mean to." His head cast down in despair.
"I don't know what came over me. None of us do. It was as if a spell was cast over us. We-" I cut him off
" Tell that to Alexandra not me. You hurt her. Whether you wanted to or not doesn't matter."
Brian cast his head down again and sighed. From the corner of my eye, I saw Bella raise her hand and reach towards Brian but she quickly dropped it.
Hmmm.....

" If that is all, I would like to leave"
I went back to my room to dress up for my date.

Alexandra POV
I picked up an emerald green flowery dress and grimaced. Too many flowers. I dropped it and picked up a pink dress. Ughhhh, too pink.

Here I was in the middle of my hotel room with piles of dresses on my bed, trying to decide what to were for my date with Ryder .
After that beautiful kiss we shared, he asked me out. He is coming over to pick me up by 6 pm and this is 4 pm and I still don't know what I want to wear. This is where Julia is supposed to come in but after that massive betrayal, I don't know if I want to see her again.

I got tired of looking at dresses and decided to sit down for a while. And then I got the best idea ever.

I separated the flowery dresses since I don't run to flowers much into a pile. Same went for the pink dresses.
