Lion and Tiger

Chapter 6: Alyssa's Happiness Ruined

Alyssa was meeting Alexandra at her house and when Alexandra came in, she saw Alyssa standing there with a beaming smile on her face. "Well, someone had a very good date last night," she commented.

"Alex, you have no idea. It was amazing, it was the best night of my life," Alyssa replied.

They looked up when Cole came out of the bedroom. "Oops, sorry," he apologized.

"No, it's okay. Come here, I want you to meet a friend of mine. Cole this is Alexandra Reynolds. Alex, this is Cole Evans," Alyssa informed.

Alexandra shook his hand with a smile. "It's nice to meet you. Alyssa won't stop talking about you so I decided to come over and see how handsome you actually are," Alexandra commented.

"Well, do I pass the test?" Cole asked.

"Absolutely," Alexandra replied.

Cole then placed a kiss on her cheek. "Well, I have to go. I'll see you tonight," he told her. Alyssa nodded and watched him leave.

"He stayed overnight?" She asked.

"Yes, he did," Alyssa replied.

"Well, it looks like somebody got a little something last night."

Alyssa blushed and giggled like a schoolgirl. "Come on, don't leave me hanging here. Was he good or what?" She asked.

"Alex, he was amazing. Every time he touched me it felt like I was walking on air," Alyssa replied.

"Wow, that good huh?"

"Yeah, come on, Greg has to be good."

"He's good, but now it would be a miracle if we had the time with little Karen."

Alyssa smiled, she was happy, she was the happiest girl alive. Cole was staying and he gave her a night she would remember for the rest of her life. She was deeply in love with Cole and nothing could change that.

Later that day, Alyssa was walking through the mall when she spotted a little girl dropping her stuffed puppy. She walked over and picked it up. "Here you go, "she told her.

"Thank you, lady," the little girl giggled.

Alyssa watched as the little girl ran over to her mother. "I bet you wish to have that someday," a voice commented. She turned around to find Roger standing there.

"Yeah, I do wish to have that someday," she replied.

She was about to walk away when he went after her. "Well, Alyssa, I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me tonight," he stated. Alyssa was about to answer when a red rose and a white rose was placed in front of her.

"Two beautiful roses for the most beautiful woman," Cole commented.

Alyssa smiled and hugged him. "They're beautiful," she complimented.

"Not as beautiful as you," he stated.

He placed a kiss on her lips before he took notice that Roger was there. "Hey, Roger, sorry, I didn't see you there," Cole apologized.

"It's all right, Cole. I was just leaving," Roger lied.

Alyssa watched him leave and the look in his eye made her shiver. Something wasn't right. She didn't feel right about him being around her. "Hey, are you okay?" Cole asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

Then they walked away.

As they started walking around the city, Cole noticed that his girlfriend seemed a little distracted. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, did you see the look on Roger's face when he left?" She answered with another question.

"Yeah, why does it make you a little nervous?"

"It does. I just have a terrible feeling about this."

Cole wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry, Alyssa, I won't let him hurt you," he assured her.

The spy took more pictures of them and was taping their conversation. He caught them kissing and took a few pictures of that. He got one of them kissing and when the kiss was broken. He got a picture of Cole pressing his forehead against Alyssa's forehead with a smile. "Hey, let's get back to your place," he murmured. Alyssa nodded before they left.

When they got back to her place, Alyssa noticed that her door was open. Cole had her wait out in the hall and he went inside.

He looked around and found the house a mess. "Somebody wasn't happy," he commented. He tripped over a picture. He bent down and saw that it was a picture of them and their friends. Alyssa came in and covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Cole," she whispered.

She hurried to her room and saw that it was just as trashed. "Cole! My room is destroyed," she gasped.

"Is anything missing?" He asked.

"No, it's all here," she replied.

"That's very strange," he commented.

"It is strange."

He wrapped his arms around her and then she called the police.

An officer looked around. "Are you certain nothing is taken?" He asked.

"I'm positive. All of my jewelry is here. Even the diamond necklace that belonged to my mother," Alyssa replied.

Cole wrapped an arm around her shoulders as the police wrote up a report and left. "Who would do this, Cole?" She asked. He sighed and pulled her to him.

"I don't know, Alyssa. But I promise that you'll be protected," he replied.

He placed a kiss on the side of her head. Alyssa sighed and closed her eyes as she leaned against him.

Roger got into his house with anger. He tossed a cup across the room. He couldn't find what he wanted. He wanted to find proof that Cole was going to marry her one day. He sighed and decided to call it a night. However, he wasn't going to give up until Alyssa was his.
