My New Alpha

Chapter Four

I was woken up from my delicious dream by a knock on my door, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, today was the first time in a long time that I've been able to sleep like this, peacefully, maybe it was because I was with my dad now.

"Come in please", I called out and the door opened, it was one of the house helps.

"Hello Miss Stephanie, did you rest well?", a girl with beautiful white skin and long black hair asked me, she looked like she was the same age as me.

"Perfect, and please just Steph", I smiled and she smiled back brightly.

"Sir Vastia told me to wake you up because the guests have started arriving".

"Oh ok, can you help me get dressed?", I got out of bed and stretched.

"Yes of course", she smiled and closed the door behind her.

I walked to my dresser but she walked to one of the doors and opened it, it was a clothes closet and it was huge.

"Just in case you need more options there are more clothes here", she said.

"Damn, I'll check there I guess, and one more thing", I walked to the closet.

"Yes?".

"What's your name?".

"Michelle", she smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Michelle, let's get down to business", I winked and we entered the closet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We browsed through so many clothes, there were dresses, jumpsuits, suits and even onesies, I looked through a certain rack of clothes and found a black dress, I took it out and looked at it, it was absolutely gorgeous.

"This one", I turned around and showed Michelle.

"It's very lovely, put it on", she smiled excitedly.

I took off my robe and towel, Michelle handed me some underwear and I put them on, then I took the dress and put it on too. Michelle zipped me up and I walked to a mirror to see how I looked.

"This is definitely the one, it's so cute", I turned around and admired all my features, some of the perks of being brown skin is the curves that come along with it, the dress hugged every single one of them, from my big boobs to my tiny waist to my thighs, I always thought of myself as fat but mum said I was just curvy so that's how I see myself.

"You have such a lovely figure", Michelle complimented.

"Thank you", I smiled.

I sat on a stool and Michelle helped me put on my shoes, a pair of nice black heels, I probably wasn't going to wear them again because I'm a sneakers and uggs kinda gal. I remained seated as Michelle did my hair, she tied it up into a ponytail and braided it, I loved it.

When we were done we walked out of my room and stood at the top of the stairs, I looked over and the house was packed, dad really went all out for a belated birthday. I saw dad talking to a certain tall man but stopped when he saw me, he walked up the stairs and stood beside me.

"You really are the spitting image of your mother", he smiled, "come let me introduce you again".

We walked down a few stairs but were still high enough for everyone to see us, dad held my hand and begun to speak.

"We all know the reason why we're having this party so I'm going to keep this brief, my daughter Stephanie Claire Vastia is finally home", he said with so much authority and everyone clapped.

We continued to walk downstairs and I already knew it was going to be a long night. Dad introduced me to a lot of his friends, they were from different races, some Chinese, some Dutch and some French.

"Bonjour jeune femme", a French man greeted me.

"Mon amie elle ne comprend pas", dad said back.

"C'est ok père", I smiled at dad and he looked at me in surprise, "comment allez vous?", I greeted the French man.

"Tu parle Français?", he smiled.

"Je parle très bien", I smiled back.

"J'ai hâte de te connaître", he held out his hand and I shook it.

"Comme sage, profitez de la fête", I smiled and he walked away.

Dad looked at me in surprise then with pride, "I'm very proud of you my love".

"Thank you, but really this is all moms doing, she made me sit through French and Spanish classes ever since I was young", I sighed.

"She did a good thing, now we can gossip in peace", he winked.

"I like your style", I winked back and he continued introducing me to his friends.

We walked around the house and I was looking for sexy eyes, I really wanted to know his name so I wouldn't sound like a p*****t anymore.

"And last but not least I want to introduce you to my best friend, he was also the best man at Emilia and I's wedding", we walked up to a tall man with brown facial hair, and standing beside him was sexy eyes. Sexy eyes was wearing a black turtle neck, black jeans and black Chelsea boots, his hair was in a bun and he had glasses on, why was he so damn attractive?.

"My friend I'm glad you could make it", dad said to the man.

"I wouldn't miss this for the world, after all, Stephanie is my goddaughter", the man winked at me, "hello again, I know you don't know me but I was your favorite person in the world, I'm Marcel", he brought me into a hug and I accepted it, it was one of those awkward family reunion hugs.

I looked at sexy eyes and he was staring at me again, it's not like I was complaining but seriously?.

"And this is my one and only child Alessandro", he finally introduced sexy eyes and his name was just so delicious, I'm really not boy crazy but I couldn't help but admire how attractive he was, he was so well built, way more masculine than any of my ex's.

"It's nice to finally meet you", he said in a deep husky voice, I felt like melting.

"Nice to meet you too", I smiled.

"You two run along and get acquainted, just acquainted", my dad said with a warning look.

"Yes sir", Alessandro did a salute making me laugh, we walked outside and he led me to one of the gardens.

"This place is just so amazing", I looked around and saw all the pretty flowers.

"Yeah, I like coming here whenever I feel low, so I'm here all the time", he said looking at me.

"Why are you always low?", I looked up at him.

"Meh its a really long story and I'm not comfortable saying it out loud".

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to push boundaries", I laughed nervously.

"No no it's not a problem", he smiled, "um how about we walk a little further, there's a really nice spot I want to show you, it's my favorite".

We walked further on and we were completely alone, I was getting nervous for some strange reason, it's like I had the urge to do something but I wasn't sure what. We stopped at a little pond with fish swimming in it, I looked around and there was a big tree and a white bench under it.

"Shall we sit?", I pointed at the bench.

"Can't stand the heels anymore?", he joked and I laughed.

"It's not that, it's just it looks nice, trust me I can handle some heels", I winked. We walked to the bench and took a seat, I could see the fish better now, they were so colorful.

"So how was it up in the big city?", he faced me.

"Pretty average, a lot of things happen but I wasn't interested in what went down", I faced him too.

"So what does interest you?", he raised one eyebrow.

If only you knew...

"Not much really, I'm not difficult", I giggled.

"I hope not", he said in a husky voice.

Oh mama

"And what about you? Tell me about yourself", I tried to change the subject because if we continue I don't know if I'll be strong enough to stop.

"I'm 23 years old, I don't go out at all unless of course I'm forced, I like watching Netflix and visiting the gym every once in a while...".

"Every once in a while huh".

"And....".

"And what?", I raised my eyebrows.

"I'm single", he said in the sexiest voice I have ever heard.

Snap!

"Well I'm single too", what the hell was I doing? It's too late to stop now.

"Best news I've heard all day", he smirked.

"And what are you going to do with that news?".

"A lot but I'm trying to stay alive", he whispered.

"Dad?", I whispered back and he nodded, "shame".

He looked into my eyes then looked down at my lips, I bit my bottom lip and he smirked, I don't know why I'm behaving so irrationally but I can't stop now. He leaned in and I stayed still waiting for him to come closer, our noses touched each other and it tickled a little, he started breathing heavily and I did too, I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist, before I could make sense of anything we were making out.

I don't really know who took the first step, all I know is that I was kissing a guy I barely knew, strange I know but I couldn't stop, and neither could he, he kissed me as if he had been deprived of my lips for so long. I raised one hand and started running my fingers through his hair, I could have sworn I heard him growl. We broke the kiss when we heard a sound, we turned our focus to the sound and saw it was just a squirrel.

"Hmm just a squirrel", he said.

"Mm-hmm", was all I could say back, I unwrapped my arms from his neck and he did the same around my waist.

"I don't know if I should apologize because we just met and I just....", he cleared his throat, "I don't think I will because ever since I saw you I just wanted to hold you", he looked into my eyes.

"You're straight to the point", I laughed a little, "its not normally my style to kiss people I've just met but I just couldn't stay away from you, I don't know what black magic you used".

He chuckled, "I'm glad, however, your dad is most definitely going to kill me".

"Yeah, it was nice knowing you", I laughed.

"You're so heartless", he stood up and stretched, "we should get back to the party", he smiled.

"Yeah we should, I probably won't even get my presents today", I stood up and walked beside him.

"Oh before that can I get your number?", he took his phone out of his pocket and handed it to me.

I looked at the wallpaper and it was a beautiful woman who looked like him, it must be his mother, I didn't want to ask though. I put in my number and gave it to him.

"Save it whatever you want to save it as", I said.

"You sure about that?", he raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Pretty sure", I laughed.

"Ok".

~~~

We walked back to the house and I could see fewer and fewer people, the party was coming to an end.

Dad walked up to us and analyzed us both, he looked at me then looked at Alessandro then back to me.

"You two have fun?", he smiled.

"Yes sir, um I showed her to my depression spot", Alessandro said nervously, he really was scared of dad.

"I'm glad, well the guests have started leaving so that means the party is over", dad said back.

"That means I should be going too", Alessandro said and almost walked away but dad stopped him.

"Oh no, on the contrary, I need to speak to you and your father", he smiled, "Stephanie you can go to your room now, I bet you're tired".

"Right, goodnight', he obviously knew what happened, I walked to dad and tiptoed to give him a kiss on his cheek then whispered in his ear, "take it easy please".

I waved at Alessandro and made a phone with my hand saying "call me", he nodded his head then I walked away.

Please, dad, don't ruin this for me, I really like this boy.....
