The Alphas got a Human Mate

Chapter 20: Dinner Date

We were about an hour into the drive when I woke up from my nap. I had instantly fallen asleep the second we had hit the road.

"Where were you all night? Why were you out dressed like that and why haven't you slept? What were you and Emma doing?" Nate started bombarding me with questions the second he realized I was awake.

I looked at him amused. Was he serious right now? It hasn't even been a day since I agreed to give him a chance and he was already acting this way. What will he do down the road?

"Not that I have to answer any of that but since I'm too tired for your BS right now, I was home all-night packing. We went for breakfast after and had just gotten back when you arrived." A look of relief crossed his face.

The rest of the drive passed by in silence with me falling in and out of sleep for most of the time. We arrived at his place around 3 PM, or maybe it was 4 I don't know. I was starving at this point and dying to pee. Nate parked the car in his garage and came around to open my door, taking my bags out behind me. I followed behind him obediently, too tired and hungry to say anything to him. He walked me up to the third floor, this time a new room.

"Where are we going?" I asked confused by his actions. "My room" He replied sternly. "Okay but why are you taking my bags in your room?" He turned around to look at me before turning back around and kept walking. He opened the door leading to a room much bigger than the one I was in before.

There was a large king-sized bed across one wall and a tv across it. A set of fancy couches were near the foot of the bed, angled to face the tv. A large chandelier hung over the bed. There were large French doors leading to an outdoor balcony and 2 additional doors that I assumed led to a bathroom and closet. Nate proceeded to set my bags on the couch and then walked away into one of the doors that I assumed was the bathroom.

"Nate. I asked you something." He turned around and looked at me before saying "You'll be staying with me in my room" and then closed the bathroom door behind him.

Okay then? I wasn't sure what to think about that. I sat down on the bed taking in his room. It was like a dream come true. I was getting up to open my bags and unpack some things I'd need for the night when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." The door opened and in walked Lori. "Hi" she smiled, looking a little cautious. "Hey" I replied. She walked in carefully, holding a long dress in her hands. "Nate had me buy this for you. You should wear it for tonight"

"What's tonight" I gave her a questioning look. "He wanted to take you out for your first night back. Said something about a fancy restaurant, I'm not sure. Just wear the dress and if you need anything else let me know." With that, she turned around and walked out, closing the door behind her. Right as she left, Nate came out of the bathroom dressed in a black dress shirt tucked into gray dress pants. He looked at me and then looked at the dress Lori left on the bed for me. "Be ready for dinner. I have some things I need to take care of right now, but I will be back in time to leave around 7." He begin to step towards the bedroom door before I stopped him. "Why are you being this way? What's with the cold shoulder?" He looked up at me when I said that but remained silent. Almost as if he was contemplating on what to say. "I'll see you tonight" was all he said before proceeding to leave the room. Weird. I rushed to the bathroom to finally pee before going back to my bags.

I opened my bag and started to unpack some of my nicer clothes that I didn't want sitting packed in a suitcase. His strange behavior wasn't very welcoming, and I suddenly felt regret come over me. Maybe I called him too soon. Pushing my thoughts aside I finished unpacking my clothes before starting a hot shower. I was debating on whether I wanted to wear the dress he had picked out for me or not. It was a long black dress with a slit from the thigh down. Not a V-neck, of course. I rummaged through the clothes I had just unpacked and decided I'd wear a dress of my own. He doesn't want to talk to me then fine, but he can't expect me to just shut up and do whatever he says.
