Trapped with the Alpha

” We know and we understand Austin you have to see that we are just looking out for you, nothing more” Stephanie said and held his hands.

“At least if you guys would look after me, kindly get me food and water not locking me up here ” Austin said.

He hated staying put in one place, it felt like his whole life was on hold.

“So that is what is doing you, you are hungry” Audrey teased and picked up his phone so he could put a call through to pizza place and placed an order of pizza for everybody in the room

In no time the pizza had arrived and everybody ate to their satisfaction, they all say their talking about their forthcoming examinations and future plans when Audrey’s phone rang when he picked it up he spoke in hushed tones and eventually left the room

Stephanie wondered who would be calling him that made him leave the room, he had never left the room before when he was on call, it meant that he was hiding something from her and she was going to find out what that was. He stayed for a very long time outside talking with the unknown caller. Mirabel had noticed how nervous her best friend was becoming so she moved closer to her, holding her hands so she would not do something stupid.

Immediately after Audrey finished with the call, he put his phone down and entered the room.

“Sorry that was a client” he said and gave a slight chuckle.

” Client , that is why you were talking in hushed tones and you left the room” Stephanie said.

Audrey tried to get close to her so they could talk but she immediately shifted far away from him

“Do not patronize me Audrey you have never lied to me before who were you talking to on the phone”Stephanie asked.

Audrey hated lying to her and every time he tried to lie to her or anybody else they always found out how terrible of a liar he was. So this time was no exception he had been caught in his lie and he knew that if he should use another lie to cover it up it would only make matters worse so he decided to come clean to her so she would not be angry or at least it would reduce the pain she felt for lying to her.

” Fine, I have been caught, it is Ivana” he said.

” Really Audrey Ivana is the client that called you” Stephanie said standing up from the chair so she could confront him head on.

” Yeah, in a way she was calling me invest in one of her paintings under the guise of my father’s company of course and also come for one of hwe exhibitions” Audrey said looking down at her ” babe you sure know how much I love art and I love watching people’s exhibitions I am very sure she has learnt her lesson the other time, I am very sure she would not try it again” He said holding her hands

Stephanie did not know what to make of what her boyfriend was telling her he had the effontery to play dumb about what happened at the last art exhibition they went to in the presence of everybody. She released her hands from his, at this point everywhere had become tense, no one wanted to interfere in the lovers fight as they were not sure if it would backfire or not.

“You know, she was all over you at that party, trying to get your attention and all and you are here telling me she learnt her lesson, if you think she learnt her lesson why did you lie to me, why did you walk out of the room just to talk to a client” she said already raising her voice.

” Babe, we are in the presence of out friends don’t you think we should talk in a more private place” he said gently grabbing her hands so they could talk but she flinged it away she was not going to take his cheap offer of them going to a more private place, she knew what that meant, she would not be able to control herself when he is already in her head.

“No, Audrey, let them hear exactly what you want to tell me in private, what explanation do you have for everything, answer me’ she said .

” Fine, I knew you would flip if you heard I was talking to Ivana, I was avoiding this reaction, secondly this is an investment I do not think you would be there since you know nothing about my father’s company” he said at that point he knew he had misyarned, he was not supposed to say what he said.

“Wow, Audrey” Stephanie said, mouth wide open , ” you know I never knew you to be this shallow, this girl is intentionally trying to warm her way back into your life and you are too blind to see that she is using her arts to get back to you, the earlier you realize this the better for us” Stephanie said as she walked out of the room

Audrey tried calling her but to no avail, he even chased after her but she had long gone out of sight, he came back into the room and sat down on dejection.

‘ let me go and find her” Mirabel said as she stood up to leave the room in as much as she would never hide from her best friend.

” Alright , thank you” Audrey said in a sad tone.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

” You know, Audrey if I were her I would do worse, her fears are valid she is scared of losing you, I hope you understand her” Mirabel said before she finally left the room, Audrey just nodded his head as he sighed.

“Wait, wait is this Ivana Forbes” Derrick and Austin said simultaneously.

” Yes” Audrey replied. ” You are still in contact with that girl, man. How many times have I told you that she is bad news now? Did you even meet her again?” Derrick asked.

“I never lost contact with her, I just got a message from her recently telling me to come for her art exhibition in New York here so I decided to take Stephanie with me as a date” Audrey said.

“I don’t know if it’s the fact that you are dumb or just really nice did you not get the gist that she was messaging you because she just wants to rekindle your old flame and now she is calling you again” Derrick said tapping his brother. Derrick kept teasing his brother for a very long time, even the pleadings of Austin for him to stop taunting him yielded no results, after a long hours of keeping his cools and having patience , Audrey sparked angrily” Guy just leave me the fuck alone, I don’t need your taunting now” Audrey said as he dashed out of the room angrily.

Audrey knew that he needed to take a walk; it took a whole lot for him not to hit Derrick in his face, the boy just knew how to push his buttons
