Chapter Forty-Two - Being Named As An Intimidating Person.

GRACE'S POV

"Alex, will you tell me where are we going?" I asked him as he drove someplace I didn't know about. I folded my hands and sat like a little child whose chocolates were just snatched from him.

"Well, Miss Grace Duncan, would you do me an honor and go on a date with me?" He ignored my question and muttered these words and I turned to him with my eyes wide and loud beating heart.

"What?! Did you just ask me out?" I asked him misbelief. He gave me a poker face.

"Well, I did. And didn't you wanted me to decently ask you to be my date?" He taunted and I looked away. I realized that he heard my rant, I thought I was alone in the room. He eavesdropped!

"Well, I don't want to go out with you. I'm not interested in you." I answered and folded my arms again and sat back. I could tell his jaw dropped to the floor. I did a victory dance in my head.

"Well, you don't get anything more than this decent proposal. And, for your kind information, I'm still taking you out, I know you haven't had anything since morning and you were busy running away from me." He muttered and I looked at him shook.

He kept tabs on me and my eatings. I didn't even know if he had anything since morning. He was looking out for me and was now taking me out to eat. Even though he had a huge day of work, he was taking me on a date. Even though forcefully.

"I assume you've never asked anyone out," I muttered not showing any excitement for the date, even though I was very excited.

"No, I have never." He said straightforwardly and I was again shocked.

"You've had so many girls, I presume," I almost taunted him and he shamelessly nodded.

"Yes, I did." Ouch. I just felt myself burn outta jealousy. I didn't let it show on my face though.

"Well, they were the ones who always begged for my attention. I never actually asked anyone out in my entire life. Because they already gave me too much attention." He sounded proud and who wouldn't be.

He had the looks for it. His personality was amazing and his voice was melody. His smile could make a day. His touch could awake desires and his kisses could kill.

"Except one woman." He said and I waited to know who was the woman who didn't give her entire attention to him and he was the one craving for her attention.

"Uhm...who?" I asked looking out of the window and trying to block my ears from his answer. I didn't want to feel more jealous than I already was.

"You." His one simple monosyllable made me breathless and red blush covered my entire face.

"We'll take a takeout from somewhere and get gift for Celia and go out for dinner tonight, okay? I need your help in selecting her a gift." He said and I nodded.

"Okay. I have to buy two more gifts, for your kid brother Martin. He's gonna be in a trouble without me." I chuckled thinking about how Elle and Celia both will kill her.

"Why two gifts?" Alex asked as we drove to McDonald's and ordered a good amount of takeaway.

"I didn't know girls eat that much," Alex commented as he heard my order. He gave me an amused look and I shrugged.
