Falling For The Alpha King novel Chapter 16

Not long after, Lisa called his name, Scott turned around and was surprised to see Lisa's appearance walking down the stairs.

Scott couldn't take his eyes off Lisa. The girl looked stunning in a red midi gown with an open-shoulder model. Her long hair was left loose to cover part of her earrings which were also red.

“Scott,” she called with a smile.

"Y-yes," Scott answered nervously.

"Are you daydreaming?" she asked.

"N-no," Scott replied.

"Are you nervous?" she asked again with a mischievous smile.

"Well, to be honest, yes. You look so different," he replied.

“So, I just look different today? Did I look normal yesterday?

"No, it's not like that. You always look awesome all the time.” Scott's face turned red. The man turned his gaze the other way.

Lisa smiled happily seeing Scott's face turning red. After her footsteps hit the first floor, she slowly walked over to Scott and stood right in front of him. Now they looked at each other.

"Scott, are we going now?" Lisa asked.

"Um, yes. Come on," he said. Then, Scott asked the girl's permission to let him hold her hand.

Then they both said goodbye to Dorothy. She was in the kitchen at the time when she heard Lisa's call, she rushed out and went over to them.

"Grandma, we are going now," said Lisa.

Dorothy was smiling then replied, “Yes, have fun, and don't forget to bring your keys. Just in case you will be coming home late at night."

"I've brought the keys with me. So, you can go to sleep early," said Lisa.

"Okay. Go quickly before it gets too late."

"Dorothy, thank you and good night," said Scott.

"Bye, Grandma."

"Bye, have fun."

To be honest, Lisa and Scott were feeling nervous. The palms of both of them became slightly sweaty. Embarrassed, Lisa pulled her hand away and wiped her palm with a tissue she took from her bag.

"Sorry, Scott. I was too nervous, so my palms got wet,” she said.

“Umm, my palms are also wet, I am nervous also. We are the same. Can I have the tissue please?" asked Scott.

"Sure. Here it is." Lisa gave some tissue to Scott.

Then, when he arrived next to the front passenger car door. Scott opened the door and let Lisa in.

"Thank you, Scott." Lisa got into the car and sat down. Then, after Scott closed the car door, he walked over to the driver's door.

In the car, Lisa observed the situation inside. Starting from the perfume that Scott put on the middle mirror hanger that smells of coffee, to the music that turns on and sings country songs which are her favorites too.

The car drove slowly away from Dorothy's house. That night, the streets were already crowded with couples celebrating the weekend, after five days of work, on Saturday and Sunday they would enjoy a relaxing time. Usually, almost all restaurants or cafes will always be full on weekends. Luckily, Scott had reserved a place at the cafe he was going to visit with Lisa.

“To be honest, after being in this city for so long, I rarely go out at night. So, all of this was quite a surprise to me. Very crowded and quite full,” said Lisa as she looked out the window.

“Oh, I thought you used to go out with your grandma. If you like, I'll take you out more often," Scott said.

"How long will you stay in Stowe?"

“During this summer vacation. Why?" Lisa asked.

"Ah, it's okay. I just want to know. So, we can plan a lot more.”

Planning more things? Lisa became curious, what would the man plan for her? To be honest, Lisa was very happy to hear the man's words.

“I'm getting impatient to see what your next plan is. Then, what's the next question?" Lisa asked with a smile.

“My apologies in advance, I forgot to ask. Won't your boyfriend be mad that you went to dinner with me?" asked Scott.

Lisa smiled, then replied, “I don't have a boyfriend. So, no one will be angry with me or you.”

"Oh thank goodness. While in Manhattan, did you often go on dates? For example with a male friend who is in the same class as you?”

"Never. It might sound strange to other people.”

“Umm for being honest, it does sound a little weird. But, why didn't you ever go on a date? Did your parents forbid you?” Scott looked closely at Lisa's face.

Lisa suddenly fell silent and lowered her head. Scott felt guilty for asking her that. However, the man felt that there was nothing strange about his question. It sounded a little strange to him if a girl as beautiful as Lisa never went on a date. Scott waited long enough, but the girl remained silent and didn't say anything.

"Sorry, Lisa. If you don't want to answer that's fine. Let's talk about something else," Scott said.

"No, it's not like that. It's just—" he answered.

"Why Lisa?" asked Scott.
