The Alpha King’s Mistake by BlackFlame
Chapter 63 Realization
Harper Alizah Grace’s POV
“Harper!!! Come back to earth!” I was being pulled back in to the reality when I heard Amanda yelled. I blinked twice and looked at her.
“Lower down your voice, you’re carrying Matthew.” That who’s sleeping in her lap after hearing her story about the dark heroine. It’s quite a long story so he fell asleep.
She looked at her son in her arms and smiled.
“Oh, I forgot. Sorry, I’ll just put him on our room then I’ll be back later,” I nodded my head. He’s referring to Matthew, I nodded my head.
“Go ahead,” I answered and then gave her a smile. She was about to stand up but she stopped when she saw someone else behind me. I know who might it be, no other than him. I turn around to see if my guess is right. And hell yah, it’s him.
“What the two of you doing?” He asked that made my brow met in the middle, isn’t obvious? We are just talking?
“Nothing King, we are talking about something. Just remembering the past,” Amanda answered. He nodded his head to acknowledge her answer.
He looked at my direction, what? He signing something to me.
“I’ll get going now, I’ll let the two of you talk.” Amanda continued and nodded her head before she leaved. And now, it’s me and him was left in the area.
“Come on, we will go somewhere else.”
“To where?” I asked casually. He gave me a look, “Just get up and come with me.” then why he sounded bossy? I don’t freaking like it.
“To where?” I repeated. He let out a sigh and sat beside me.
“Why you’re so grumpy? You’re not like that last night,” Last night, yeah, I’m not with myself last night. Take the blame on the liquor. Geez…
“I’m drunk last night so what would you expect?” I answered sarcastically. Instead of getting annoyed with my attitude, he laughed and leaned back on the sofa.
“Come with me, I’ll take you out now for you to cool down. You looked so angry to me, what did I do?” I sigh and avoided my gaze. I don’t know why I’m annoyed just seeing his face. What’s wrong with me?
“Nothing, your presence is enough to annoy me.” I saw him glanced at me, he’s clearly confused.
“My presence is enough to annoy you? How is that so?” Seriously? He’s asking that? Is he not aware that he’s kinda annoying?
“Yeah, so you better get out my face now.” He chuckled from what I said.
“The attitude, get off now and go to our room. Change your clothes because we will go in a date now.” He really does sound bossy, could he say it more nicely?
“Are you demanding me?” He shook his head.
“Of course… not honey,” I gave him a look.
“Then ask me nicely, you sounded like you’re commanding than asking.”
“Yeah sure, would you like to go out with me, my queen?” I stared at him, did he really said that? I couldn’t help but to smile. He’s easy to manipulate.
“Okay then, wait for me here.” I stated before I stand up. He nodded his head, “be quick, I don’t like waiting.” Huh? really? But he always said he’s willing to wait and gain my trust slowly. Not a patient man huh?
“Yeah, whatever.” I said while rolling my eyes.
“Go on babe,” I faked a smiled before I completely leaved.
Geez, where we will go? I took a d*eep breath as I walk in the long hallway. This day would be tiring again, I thought I’ll just going to stay here all day. But I guess, he changed his mind every time. When he wanted to go out, he’ll go out.
After a few hours, yeah hours, let him wait for me. I walked out in our room and go towards the living room where he staying at. Surprisingly, he’s patiently waiting for me. But nah, who knows what he’s thinking right now? Maybe he’s murdering me in his mind for making him wait for so long.
When he felt my presence, he looked at me.
“Are you ready?” I nodded, I feel a little guilt because I made him wait.
“Yeah, sorry for waiting.” He stood up from the sofa and smiled.
“No worries, when it comes to you, I’m willing to wait.” It contradicts the words he said a while back. He doesn’t like waiting huh? But anyway, I won’t open up another argument with him.
“Let’s go?” we go outside the palace together, “No guards will come with us?” I asked him when I noticed that no one is following us behind.
He glanced at me quick and shook his head.
“No one, we own this day. I know that you don’t want someone who’s following you wherever you go,” I secretly smiled from what he said, he’s starting to understand me. Well, it’s quite irritating when someone’s following you behind like you’re a three-year old girl, right? Knowing that I can protect myself more than they can.
“Right, but how about you? What if someone will ambush us and harm you,” he chuckled from my statement.
“Honey, are you underestimating me? I’m not a king for nothing, I can protect myself and I won’t let anyone harm us. They’ll taste blood before they can do that.” Okay, as he said so. Not a king for nothing.
“As you said so, but where are we going?” I asked again.
“Get in the car first then I’ll tell on the way,” I looked at the car in front of us. Ah, alright. I just get in the passenger seat, as soon I’m inside, I saw him get in also with a smile in his lips. Why he’s so happy? Is there anything so funny about? Geez, he’s really crazy.
I’m just looking at him, he’s getting weird day by day. When he felt my gaze, he looked at my direction.
“What?” he asked with a glint of amusement in his voice. I shook my head, “Nothing, I just found you weird.” His smile widened.
“The other day you found me annoying, now weird. You’re really hurting me with your words honey?” Is he serious now? He’s being so dramatic. I rolled my eyes on him.
“Start the car now, and drive.” I sounded like terror boss right now who’s commanding her driver. Haha, I think I’m the one who’s weird here. Geez, what’s happening to me.
“Okay, my queen.” He answered instead of getting annoyed by the way I talk. I’m starting to admire his tolerance towards my b*itchy attitude. For sure, when someone treat me like the way I do to him, I’ll surely smash his or her face.
Then realization hits me, did I treat him so bad, did I go to far? I still remember the day I told to him that do the golden rule which don’t do the things that you don’t want the others do to you. A big reflection comes into my mind, I become who is he before. I’m rude and cruel.
But, the other side of my mind saying that, I did the right thing. I was hurt and disappointed by what he did before, I can’t force myself to trust someone else who’s at first broke my heart. He hurt me before, but he’s making everything to fix it now.
He lowered down his pride and ego for him to gain my trust. Maybe, this is the right time to give him a try. I’ll try to trust him, care for him, but I can promise that I’ll love him. Love takes time.
“Harper?” I blinked twice when I heard him called me. I was being drown by my thoughts again.
“Yeah?” I mumbled.
“Are you okay?” I glanced at him.
“Yeah, perfectly fine. Why?” he shook his head.
“Nothing, you’ve become silent. Anyway, where we will go is a secret, you’ll know later when we got there.” I just nodded. Secret, he loves secret. That’s one of the reasons why I can’t fully trust him.
