The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 55 Game (Part 2)
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
Even if I closed my eyes, I can’t sleep. This is not new to me anymore, every time he’s near, I’m not at ease, he’s presence is enough to bother me.
I took a d*eep breath and open my eyes. It is dark around the room but because of my night vision ability, I can clearly see the surroundings.
“Still can’t sleep?” I heard him softly asked me. I didn’t bother to answer his question, instead I spare him a glance. He’s not looking at me, he’s staring at the ceiling too.
I quickly averted my eyes on him when he was about to look at me.
“Shall we continue playing the twenty questions?” I blink, is he serious? I think, it’s too late. We are supposedly sleeping right now.
“Nope, we will not. Sleep now.” I answered and closed my eyes again. Sleep now Alizah, sleep. I talked to myself.
“But I can’t sleep.” Oh, and that’s my fault?
“I have nothing to do with that,” I felt him move and get off the bed to turn on the light.
“Actually, you’re the reason why I can’t sleep.” He said while looking at me. My brow furrowed and sat down on the bed.
“You have your own mind and body, you can sleep without minding me. so why me?” He grinned widely and walk towards my direction again.
“I know you can’t sleep because of me, do I need to say that to you too?” He said as he held my jaw using his one hand.
I bit my inner lips, he got it right. Damn, he used my own word against me. But heck no, he won’t win. I slowly smirked at him and get his hand off on my face.
“Okay then, I can’t sleep because of you. Do I need to kick you out over here so that I can sleep?” I sass out. I assumed him to raise an eyebrow but instead, he looked amusedly at me.
“You will kick out me out in my own room? Is that fair?” he said while pouting. Is he still drunk? This is the first time he pouted like this. Geez, I can’t deny the fact that he looked so freaking cute.
I suppress my smile and looked seriously at him.
“I still remember the time you said that this room is also my room too.” He blinked twice.
“When I said that one?” wow, now he looked confused.
“When…” I am too, I can’t remember when he said it but yeah, I heard him said that.
“When…?” Argh.
“Forget about it.” I replied and rolled my eyes.
“You’re just making things, why you just tell me that… you love being here with me.” I immediately looked at him. The heck? where his word came from? Ha! I bravely met his stares.
“If I love being here with you, why I wanted to kick you out?” I answered back and grinned devilishly. This time, he chuckled so loudly.
“Silly you,” oh, and I’m the one who’s silly now huh?
“I’m not silly, you’re the one who’s silly here.” He smiled and then slowly laughed genuinely.
“Why you’re so grumpy?”
“Why you’re so annoying?” I answered back. Geez, why are we making this nonsense argument? I sigh and looked at him, seriously.
“You know what? We should drop this topic. Sleep now, have a good nap!” As I said that, I was about to lay down on the bed but he stopped me.
“Hold on, I can’t sleep, you can’t sleep. Let’s play another game until we fall asleep.”
“Okay, state the game name?” I asked him while crossing my arm on my chest. He smiled and stood up.
“Come on,” he signs me to get off the bed. I just confusedly looked at him.
“Come on, we will go somewhere else to play that game.” Eh? Why would we need to go out? What if we fell asleep? Where will we going to sleep?
“Just get off and follow me.” He said like he read my mind but I know he doesn’t. I just sigh and stood up. He opened the door and let me go out first.
We are currently walking in the long hallway, we didn’t go downstair so I assume, the place we will go were just close.
“Here we are,” I stared at the door in front of us. Where are we?
“What are we doing here?” I asked him. He looked at me and then smiled.
“You will know when we go inside, shall we?” I just nodded. Okay. He opened the door and go inside first. As soon I got in, my brow furrowed. A mini bar? What are we going to do here? Drink liquor? I seriously looked at him.
“Eh… don’t look at me like that. We will play the game here,” I raised an eyebrow while crossing my arm on my chest. Okay then, if we play the game here. What game and why here?
“There’s a lot of wine here,” and so?
“We will drink while playing games, it will help for us to sleep quickly.” What a dumb suggestion. After drinking too much liquor we will be wasted and won’t remember what are we doing. Is he planning to make me drunk?
“Okay, state your game but this doesn’t mean that I’m agreeing to play it with you.” I seriously said. He smiled and looked around the whole area.
“Alright, let me tell the game name first.” I just nodded my head and walked towards the couch. My feet hurt from standing. He followed me and sat beside me.
“The game was just like twenty questions but it does have different twist. The game called Tell or Drink, from the name itself. It’s either to you if you’ll answer the question I’ll gave to you or you’re going to decline it and just drink.” He told to me. Sound so fun but a little messy.
What if I always don’t want to answer his question? I need to drink and get drunk? Geez.
“What can you say about it?” He asked me.
“Aren’t you drunk enough? You drunk with the Royal Beta, Gamma and with your cousin a while back.” He smiled at me and hold my shoulder.
“Don’t worry, I’m still fine and not drunk. I won’t get drunk easily so let’s play.” I bet he’s not like this when he’s in his right mind.
“No, we need to go back and just force ourselves to sleep,” He shook his head.
“Are you afraid to get drunk honey? Don’t tell me… you’ve got some small tolerance towards liquor?” I narrowed down my eyes on him. Is he challenging me? Only if he knows that I don’t get dunk easily. Any kind of wine was just like a water to me. Ha, perk of being a tribrid.
“Nah, okay fine. If you insisted. Shall we start playing this game, oh wait… let’s add another twist to our game.” I suggested while smirking widely.
“Why I find your smile weird? What are you planning?” I chuckled darkly and stated my suggestion instead of answering his question. And nah, I’m not smiling at him. This is called evil smile.
“Whoever will sleep first should obey the one last wish of the winner, did you agree with that?” I asked him. He stared at me for how many seconds before nodding his head.
“Okay, I bet I’m not the one who will sleep first even if I’m still drunk.” He said while smirking too. Oh, he’s sure that he’ll win huh. Well let’s see.
“Let’s start now then for us to know who will be the last man standing,” I said and gave him a challenging look. He stared back with the same expression as mine.
“Who will ask first?” he asked.
“let’s do again the scissor, paper, stone, stick game.” I suggested, he nodded his head and prepared.
“scissor, paper, stone, stick!” I half sang. I slowly smiled when I saw that I won. He did paper while I did scissor. Haha, got yah. I should ask personal questions that I know he won’t going to answer. It’s time to get a person drunk.
I know he’ll ask me personal questions too, but even if he’ll do that… it will be h*ard for me to get drunk. May the best man win and survive.
