Chapter 36: Prom

Book:Caught Between Two Alphas Published:2024-5-1

We boarded a taxi and went to Sawyer mall. ”Wow, this place is huge, won’t they charge excess?” Charlotte wondered, staring at the large three-story building.
“Yea, who wouldn’t, can’t you see it’s made of glass. Let’s go” I urged and we entered, the air that greeted us smelt of wealth and elegance.
Charlotte shivered slightly. An attendant came to direct us. He took us to the spa and I almost screamed. Never been to a spa before but this place is freaking great.
We did manicures and pedicures, the attendants were very fast and so gentle, that we both fell asleep.
An attendant woke us up and we were led to the massage room. “I feel like eating these cucumbers but these rich dolls would only laugh at me” Charlotte whispered, our faces covered with a sweet-smelling paste which I don’t know what it is, and I giggled.
“Don’t eat it if you want any guy to cast a glance at you” I teased and she giggled.
The attendant rinsed our faces and after feeling my face, it felt so soft and smooth. “You look fabulous” Charlotte confessed, staring at me.
“And you look beautiful” I said and we squealed, hugging each other and some girls stared at us with disdain.
I gave the credit card to the attendant, he went inside without and the manager came out, inviting us to his office, his office was well furnished and large.
“Do you know who this credit card belongs to?” He questioned.
“Yes Austin” I replied, confused.
“Can you call this Austin please?” He pleaded, this is weird, I brought out my phone and called Austin, and he gave my phone to him.
“Hello, you’re Austin right?…. I’m.. so.. sorry sir… I just wanted to confirm if the credit card wasn’t stolen” The man stuttered, his eyes wide with shock.
“I’m so sorry ma’am, this is on me, you don’t have to pay” The manager replied, somewhat scared. I nodded and collected the credit card as I left, thought the manager insisted on giving us a tour but I declined, opting for an attendant instead.
The attendant took plus inside the boutique and we stared at the large pile of pretty dresses. We checked the whole lines of prom dresses twice before I decided to pick a blue, long, six-piece with a slit from my feet to my thighs. It was an off-shoulder, my cleavage was exposed and I felt so naughty.
Charlotte went for an extremely short plus-size gown. It stopped midthigh and had a round neck, it hides the baby bump so well.
We were about to take off the dresses when Barbie, Ava and Mia walked in. Anger boiled inside me.
They stared at me with surprise, they hadn’t gotten over yesterday’s shock. ”What are you doing here?” Barbie inquired, staring at me with hate.
“Barbie, let’s leave. She’s a demon and super dangerous” Ava cautioned and they left angrily.
“You rock babe!” Charlotte squealed, hugging me tightly.
“And you’re about to kill me” I muttered and she released my neck.
We bought the dresses and then went to the makeup section. We changed into the dresses and seat down for our hairdo.
I stared at Charlotte, I used to be fatter than her but now she’s chubby. “I wish I had your body” She pouted and I smiled.
“This gown is too sexy, Donald would go nuts looking at you” I teased and she smiled shyly.
“And what about Austin? He’s gonna rip the gown off your body with his eyes” She retorted.
“She’s it’s our turn already” I shushed as we sat in front of the mirror.
My hair was styled into a loose wave which fell to my sides while Charlotte’s was made into a messy bun with some strands falling on her left eye.
“We want light make-up” I instructed, not wanting to look like a nasty witch with heavy makeup.
“Wow, I look like a celebrity who’s about to walk on the red carpet, the make-up is light yet so beautiful” Charlotte complimented, looking at her face in the mirror.
The make-up gave her the look of a school belle, full dark eyelashes and purple lipstick at the edge and the remaining part white. She just looks breathtaking.
I stared at myself and almost covered my lips, the makeup made my face a bit slim and damn, the artist had changed my eyeballs. My makeup was a bit more than Charlotte’s but they did a splendid job.
I smiled at them, our dresses matched our lipsticks.
We went to the shoe store, Charlotte wore sneakers, she looks so cute. I choose blue high-heeled shoes, it was hard to walk without almost stumbling but I was determined to wear them. We didn’t get to pay for anything which surprised me but maybe it was because the manager was scared of losing his job.
We were escorted out by the attendant and I gave him a tip. “Wow prom starts at 8 pm and we’re 10 minutes late” Charlotte gasped as we sat inside the taxi.
We got to school, I paid for the ride and was about to text Austin. “No, surprise him” My demon whispered, we were getting along quite well.
The night I found out about her, she tried to make me go to Dracula but I resisted, telling her that not all demons are evil and now we’re pals.
“Let’s surprise everyone” I said and Charlotte nodded.
My purse had a diamond at the top and I wondered if it was real or fake. Well, I didn’t care anyway.
“Charlotte, we’ve got lots of haters, if you want your baby safe, please don’t accept anything from anyone. We can’t trust anybody even Austin or Donald, someone might drug the drinks and hand it over to the guys who would be clueless” I cautioned and she nodded with a smile.
We walked inside the large hall which was beautifully decorated. I had never seen inside the hall before and wow it’s beyond beautiful.
A group of guys whistled and gasped as we walked inside, the music froze for some seconds and I could feel everyone’s gaze on us.
“Where could Austin be?” Charlotte whispered, trying not to raise her head, it was obvious that she felt shy, but damn who wouldn’t? Everyone’s gaze was focused on us.
We went to the bar and I ordered juice, a guy tried to flirt but I don’t give him any reply.
A guy walked up to Charlotte, he teased her for a while, winking at Charlotte who blushed. If only Donald could see her now.
Everyone screamed when Brooklyn walked inside, the hall became rowdy as the girls ran forward, trying to get a glimpse of Brooklyn. He came alone and he wore a white tuxedo and white pants, his hair was styled carefully and brushed to the back, probably gone to the saloon.
He looked cute and manly, if he looked this way then how would Austin look?.
Austin and Donald walked inside and the noise doubled. “I love you Austin!”.
“Please I need to fuck you”.
“Just one night Austin and I’ll be glad!”
“I love your face” Were the thoughts I heard, stupid girls and they’re pissing me off.
I swallowed a lump when I looked at Austin, his eyes bore into mine when made eye contact. His blue tuxedo fitted tightly to his sexy body, and his long slender legs made him extremely tall in an appealing manner, my inside churned with arousal as I licked my lips.
Brooklyn walked to my side, making me avert my gaze from Austin. He kissed my knuckles. “I saved the first dance for you milady, do me the honours please” He pleaded with his hand stretched and I took his hand.
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea because I’m not very good at dancing”
“I’ve got you covered babe. Your flaws make you perfect” He said and I blushed.
We walked to the dance floor and he held my waist, putting my hand on his shoulder. I felt uncomfortable with the way he held my waist.
He took the lead and I followed as he directed, I saw Charlotte dancing with Austin who stared at me with anger, Charlotte seemed to be having the best time of her life.
“I have something to tell you” Brooklyn whispered and I urged him to go on.
“I’m… in love with you. I’m sorry I didn’t ask you to be my prom date on time. Would you be my prom date?. You’ve been on my mind all day, images of your smile keep interrupting my head. Your smile makes my day and your laughter, I wish to listen to it every day. Please be my girlfriend. This is sudden but I haven’t been courageous to approach you” Brooklyn let out and I stared at him with shock.
This was coming late and I hated to break the news to him. ”I’m sorry but my heart belongs to someone else” I apologized slowly.
“Who?” He asked and my gaze fell on Austin who was dancing with Candy now. My stomach tightened and I stifled a growl.
“Austin?. You chose him over me even when you know he’ll never love you. You know he’ll always be cold and obnoxious. Would you trade your happiness and life just because of mere infatuation?” Brooklyn asked, gripping my hand tightly.
“I’m sorry but you can’t force the heart to make some decisions, infuriated that he had nothing good to say” I responded harshly and his eyes hardened.
I could see he was trying his best not to vent his anger on Austin. I saw Donald dancing with Shantel who was dressed as a fairy princess with short gown music ended and with a kiss, Brooklyn left my hand. “Still think about it, weigh the odds. I’ll still wait for you” He muttered.
“I still won’t change my mind” I retorted.
”I hope you don’t regret this. I’ll always be here for you, anytime, anywhere” He countered and walked away.
I could see Austin fuming with anger but I was also angry at him. He’s my date yet he danced with someone else and she was throwing herself at him.
Austin left Candy and walked past me without glancing at me. All the time I spent trying to look good just for him!. I began following him and he walked faster.
I couldn’t keep up with the heels, I stopped and removed them and ran after him. He ran to the garden. “Wait please” I yelled, he’s very fast.
“Why? Go back to Brooklyn, he’s your date anyway” He answered bitterly.
“He asked for a dance, that doesn’t make him my date. You were also with Candy”I retorted.
“It does Ariana, I hate to see other guys look at you and when they touch you, my insides but with anger” He confessed.
“I also hate seeing you with Candy” I replied, cupping his handsome face.
“I.. i… i”
“What do you wanna say?”
“You look amazing” He complimented, looking into my eyes. His hot breath fanned me as I blushed slightly.
He kissed my lips gently and my body vibrated at his touch, my nipple stood erect and my legs quivered, he uttered some words as he feasted on my neck, I felt his teeth on my neck and I raised his head.
“What’s that, why do I feel your teeth?”
“My wolf wants to mark you as mine but it’ll hurt a little” He explained and I nodded, he knows lots of things.
“If you bite me, what will happen?” I inquired, straightening his tuxedo, pardon me but he’s a demigod, each time I look at him, he looks more handsome than before.
“We would be bound together, I can feel it when you’re in pain, we can share powers and keep us together, that’s if you want” Austin whispered, I stared at his eyes, a gleam was beginning to spread.
“You shouldn’t wear these types of dresses outside, it’s better worn in my room or house alone” He mumbled, his warm hands running up my thighs.
“Stop it, this is the garden, anyone can be watching”
“They’re free to watch me kiss you but not your body” Austin replied.
“Stop it already” She cautioned, pushing him away gently.
“Fine but you’ll spend two days in my room”
We held hands and walked inside slowly.
Donald was angry when Charlotte left the dance floor to talk to Josh. “She’s fucking pregnant yet she danced with other guys and now sh flirting with Josh. If she takes alcohol won’t she endanger my child?” Donald raged as he stared at her.
Josh left and he went to her side hastily before any other guy come for her. “Charlotte…”
“What? I’m busy, you should also get just with your date” She replied harshly and Donald sighed.
“I know you don’t like my opinion, but I’m sorry. I felt you’d feel ashamed if people discover and you would get humiliated”
“So you’re ashamed to let people know about my child?” She muttered.
“You look stunning” He said, cupping her face. He wanted to kiss her but he restrained himself because of the stares he was getting.
“You’re exposing too much flesh to these hungry eyes” He complained and she frowned.
“Save your complaint for yourself, I also deserve a date” She replied and walked past him, going I meet Josh who smiled and led her to the dance floor.
“Hey Donald, let’s continue the dance and get kinky in the garden” Shantel purred and he declined.
“Why? Because of that thing?” She quizzed, pointing at Charlotte.
“Leave now, Shantel before I lose my temper” He warned and reluctantly she left.
Donald perceived a strong scent and couldn’t help but feel attracted, the smell lured him and he followed the scent as he walked outside.
Austin and I walked inside, holding hands. Candy stared at me with rage and I glared back at her. “May I have this dance?” Austin requested with a curt bow.
“Can I ever say no to my boss? I’m afraid if I say no you might fire me” I teased, taking his hand as we proceeded to the dance floor. Everyone was shocked, I wasn’t a great dancer but he made me feel like the best in the world.
His movements were fast, precise and gentle. His grip on my waist was firm and it felt joyfully right.
“How did you know how to dance so well?” I asked, his hand was on my thigh as he raised my leg to his waist.
“It’s not very hard to learn” He replied and I heard a commotion from the food side, I looked back and it was Shantel, insulting Charlotte.
Where was Donald? I walked to where they were. “Leave her alone!” I shouted angrily.
“And what would you do, weak ass?” She inquired, pushing me and Austin caught me. With rage, he slapped Shantel and everyone gasped.
Donald ran inside, sniffing and having a funny look as he hugged Candy to himself, Shantel gasped as her eyes wanted to fall from their socket.
He kept her at his side and I wondered why. “Listen, everyone, this is Charlotte, my wife-to-be and mother of my child” Donald announced and we cheered while Shantel and Candy walked out angrily.
He kissed her hungrily as he hugged her. Finally, Charlotte got what she wanted.
We went back to the dance floor with wide grins on our faces as we danced happily to the slow tune. The music ended, Austin bowed then cupped my face, kissing me as some girls screamed.
I saw Brooklyn walk out angrily and Candy stop midtrack. The kiss lasted for almost 2 minutes and he stopped when Donald tapped his shoulder, I’m surprised that I’m not out of breath.
Charlotte put her face on Donald’s chest, shyly as we went to get drinks. The prom queen was given to Ella who looked stunning.
“Let’s go home, I can’t wait to do some ripping tonight” Austin whispered as he kissed ear lobes, he knew I would go wild if he does that.
“No, I can’t let you rip this dress, it costs a lot of money” I replied, hitting his chest playfully.
“But you didn’t spend a dime and it’s my company, I’ll get you more later” He let out as he led her to the car.
