My overprotective alpha mate

Chapter 14

        "Where are we doing?" Melanie asked. "It's a surprise," I told her, "You'll find out soon." She looked frustrated, but nodded anyway. As we drove, Melanie and I listened to the radio, until we came to an address and I pulled into the driveway. "Why are we here?" Melanie asked.  "Just come inside." I told her. We walked into the house, and I took Melanie to the kitchen, and told her to under the table, which had a large tarp over it. She ripped of the tarp, and screamed. I smiled. I had taken her to the house I saw in the catalog, and then hidden Dylan under the table for when we got there.

        He jumped out, and hugged her. "Oh my gosh," she screamed. "I've missed you so much! What are you doing here?" He smiled and looked at her. "L came," he said, "to say hello, and welcome home to my wonderful mate." I walked up to them. "O'kay," I said. "Stop before I die..........because I wasn't allowed to show you your new house!" Melanie looked at me like I had fallen from the sky. "What do you mean, 'new house'," she asked. It was my turn to look at her as if she was from outer space. "It's the house we were looking at in the catalog, you dummy!" She blushed. "Know come on nerds," I said. "I have plans later so lets hurry up!"

        They followed me up and around their new house,and even though it wasn't my buissness I couldn't help but think how cute they looked together. After I was finished their  little tour, and I had helped unpack their stuff for a moving truck, I went over to Melanie. "Hey, Mel," I said, waving her over.

        " Can I talk to you?" She nodded and we went outside to the back yard.

        I shifted my weight back and forth. "So........" I said akwardlly. "Ash's birthday is tomorrow, and I really need some help with the party set up. He dosen't think I even know when his brthday is, so I really need you to keep it a secret. Pretty please?" 

        She stood there, letting suspense hang in the air. Then she simled and hugged me. "Of course I'll help!" She exclaimed. "Why wouldn't I?" Lets see,what do we need? Oh we absoultly need a huge cake! But how to get it............"

        I laughed. "I've definitely got food under control. How do you think Dylan survived through each day? He can't cook a thing!" 

        Melanie shrugged. "I'm not surprised. I doubt he could go an hour without eating." I laughed so hard, I nearly fell down. "Alright," I said. "I'll see you tomorrow!" She waved as I walked to the car, I did a happy dance inside. I was going to plan something for Ash and it was going to go amazingly.

        Driving home, though, i couldn't keep thinking about what in the world I was going to get him. I had no idea what he wanted. Oh well, I thought. we'll just have to find out by taking in clues about what he does and doesn't like. As I walked into the house, I thought Ash would be waiting for me at the door, but he wasn't there. After looking around for A bit, I finally found him looking over some papers in his office. Sneaking quitly across the hardwood floor,(this is quite hard to do in heels.) I creeped up on him.

        "Give up," he said suddenly, as I got right behind him. "I know you're there."  I walked to his desk. "Aw, you're no fun!" I told him. All of a sudden, he sat up straighter. "I've got a surprise for you," he said. "I hope you like the movie The Lion King." I jumped up and down. "It's my favorite!" I said. "How'd you find out?" He smirked. "I have my ways."

I plafully slapped him. Leaving his office, I told him i was getting eady for bed. He nodded but seem to interested in his paper-work to reallly be paying attention to what I was saying. I climbed the stairs to my bedroom. Once inside,I locked the door and took a shower, changed into my pjamas, and went downstairs to have some dinner. I was in the middle of cooking Ash some porkchops, when Ash snuck up behind me and grabbed my waist, nearly causeing me to drop the skillet. "Ash," I scolded him. "You almost gave me a heart attack! Go and sit down and wait for your dinner!"

        "Awwww,but......" I cut him of. God it was so hard to stay mad at that puppy dog face of his. "No buts! go and sit down now." After dinner, we watched The Lion King. When it ended, I stood up and told Ash goodnoght and that I would see him in the morning. Laying down, I couldn't help but smileas I went to sleep, dreaming of tomorrow.
