Bad Boy Leave Me Alone

Chapter Nineteen...

Chapter Nineteen

*Alexis's POV*

"So Asher is it? What are your intentions with Alexis? Are they pure? Do I need to get my gun ready to shoot your dick off?" Lorenzo asked seriously, as he glared at Asher.

"Lorenzo! What the hell?" I gasped, outraged, "Why would you ask such a thing?"

"No, I'm curious too. You just appear In Lexis's life out of nowhere and suddenly you're dating the girl. Aren't you a little old for her?" Dom spoke up, earning a glare from me.

"Dom!" I yelled loudly, earning glares from the guests at the tables surrounding us.

"No, it's fine Alexis, they're just looking out for you." Asher told me gently, before grabbing my hand under the table and rubbing his thumb over my knuckles to calm me down.

"I am Asher Monroe, I'm twenty three years old, and I met Alexis through her younger brother Jake, who goes to school with my daughter. Who is adopted, before you ask, her mother was my girlfriend, but she passed away three years ago. I'm not her biological father. But I am her Dad." He told Lorenzo and Dom.

By then, all conversation at the table had stopped, and I suspected they were all listening in.

"And as for my intentions regarding Alexis... She is absolutely amazing; I wouldn't dare to hurt her. I don't know how anyone could, and I don't think I'd ever be able to forgive myself if I did." He finished, seeming genuine.

I felt my heart warm at his words.
He softly squeezed my hand, and I returned the action as I blushed.

Clapping erupted from my left, where Lain was sitting, wiping away fake tears and sniffling.

"That was beautiful! I wish I had someone like that!" She blubbered.

"You did have someone like that." Carlo growled quietly. Sending Lain into silence.

"Hello everyone! I hope you're all enjoying yourselves! Feel free to make your way into the ballroom, where we've set up some music so you can mingle and dance!" Esta spoke over the quiet conversation's going on throughout the dining room, before leading the way into one of the adjoining rooms, with Leonardo by her side.

Our table followed, along with several others, leaving the dining room practically empty.

"Would you like to dance Lex?" Lorenzo asked, as I stood beside Asher and Lain, watching the other couples dance.

I looked at Asher cautiously, not wanting to seem rude, "Go, I'll keep Lain Company. But I have dibs for the next song." He told me, before sending me a heart warming smile.

"I hope you know that I don't like, or trust him." Lorenzo told me as soon as we started dancing.

"I can see that." I told him, as he led me around the floor.

"I think I prefer Domenico over him to be honest, and I don't even like Domenico, so that's saying something."

"Can we please not talk about Dom, I'm still upset over the fact that he didn't contact me for months. I thought that we were kind of a thing, and then he acted as if I didn't mean anything to him." I told him sadly.

"Fine, but I'm keeping an eye on your boy toy." He told me, before we continued to dance quietly until the song finished.

"I believe it's my turn with the lovely Alexis," Asher said, before whisking me away from Lorenzo.

"I know I already told you earlier, but you look so incredibly beautiful," He told me as we slowly swayed back and forward.
"You're too nice, you don't have to lie." I replied, blushing.
"I'm not lying..." He spoke softly, before slowly leaning in to kiss me.
