Chapter 29: Alasters turn

"Fine, one small glass" I say while rolling my eyes.

"There's the party girl I know" he jokes, because we all know I am far from a partyer.

"Don't even worry about your father love, there's plenty of choices here I'm sure we can find one that doesn't have a strong smell"

I nodded at his reassurance, he was right. There was a lot.

"What about this one?" I say while looking at a glass of a orangey pink liquid with a lemon on the side.

Alaster picked it up and took a small sip before looking at me with raised eyebrows "it's good."

He puts the glass up to my lips, urging me to take a sip. I let the cold liquid go down my throat and was surprised by a fruity pineapple taste.

I gave him a thumbs up and an enthusiastic nod.

"You know I'm only 18 right?" I say while he hands me the glass.

"That's nothing, I was drinking when I was 14" he picked up a random cup of his choice.

"I don't think that's something to be proud of" I say while giving him a pointed look.

"I know I know, I'm not a alcoholic or anything a man just loves his liquor"

I nodded as he talked, but I couldn't help my eyes scanning across the house looking for a certain face.

"Looking for my brother?" Alaster says while leaning close to my ear.

"N-no" I quickly defended

"Lying doesn't look good on you doll" he says, making me realize just how close our faces were.

I looked down at my shoes, letting my hair cascade in front of my face.

"Hurry up and ditch him so I can have my turn" he says jokingly, but for some reason it doesn't fully sound like a joke.

I just sort of laugh it off before taking another sip of my drink, I won't lie Alaster is attractive but I'd rather not ruin what I have with Killian right now. We're not necessarily together but it would just feel like cheating to me.

"Well we'd better get out there to the other guests" Alaster suggests, changing the subject.

I nodded before following behind him.

This house will never not amaze me, it was modern looking but very beautiful. The way the lights and windows perfectly light up every room is breathtaking. Even if it's dark out right now, I know the outside light is beautiful during the day.

I noticed my father walking towards us "Having fun dear?" He asks before glancing at Alaster beside me.

"Of course, all the good looks lovely" I smiled.

"I see you and Alaster are getting close, I hope you're keeping in mind what we talked about earlier" he says with a raised brow and nudging my arm.

Earlier?... what is he talking abou-

"Oh geez father no!" I say with a horrid expression when I remembered him asking about my love life and marriage.
