The whole audience stops and stares at Alexander. There has never been a bid that high before, not just here but like anywhere in the world, I'm assuming. Who is Alexander, Batman or something?
The announcer looks around in shock, so flabbergasted that he doesn't know what to say.
"Alright... Uh the bid is 10,000 dollars going once." The announcer said probably hoping that this would be the end of the bid. I look towards Myers to see an angry look on his face. I shrug my shoulders to him letting him know I had nothing to do with this and that I'm sorry. He looks at me with a defeated face. Before the announcer continues, I consult with him.
"Sir... Can he bid that high? Isn't there a law that prohibits this or something?" I asked him whispering.
He puts his hand on the mic to talk to me. "Sorry honey there isn't, Mr. Germani can bid however high he wants." The announcer uncovers his hand from the mic and continues with the bid.
"Going once going twice.... sold to Mr. Germani for 10,000 dollars." The crowd claps in awe and shock. While I'm filled with nervous jitters and riddled with anger right now. Alexander walks up to me and holds his hand out for me to grab it. Hesitantly, not wanting to create a scene, I put my hand in his and stepped down from the stage. His hand tightly encloses around mine, daring not to let it go. His thumb brushes the top of my hand a bit, sending jolts of electricity up my spine. He takes notice of this, a sly smile forming.
The announcer goes on to say one more thing. "This is the highest bid we have ever had. Sir, what do you have to say?" The announcer leans the mic down to Alexander, he looks straight at me when he gave his answer. Grey specs swarm in the pools of his eyes.
"What can I say... I love puppies." I stare at him with a blank face, what do you say to that. The crowds gives him another cheer.
"Now let's move on to Ramona Wyndham." The announcer said continuing on. We both walk to the back of the venue so Alexander can pay. Once we get to the back, he hands the women his card and I give him a piece of my mind.
"What would give you the right to bid on me. Clearly you saw my boyfriend was obviously bidding on me." I pull on his jacket pocket so he would look at me. He groans while turning around to me.
"I will not apologize for bidding on you. If you boyfriend wanted you so bad then why not go higher?" He asked looking at me.
"Oh, let's see because an average Samaritan doesn't have upward to 10,000 dollars laying around. Not all our daddies are millionaires." I told him enraged.
"Correction, he's a billionaire." I don't even acknowledge that. "Sorry I won fair and square. I'm done let's go." We walk back into the main part of the venue where everyone is at. Before we even took two steps Myer's comes up to us Immediately.
"Hey can I talk to MY girlfriend." He said putting emphasis on the 'my' part. Myers slings an arm around my torso, gripping a bit of my waist, I jolt a little under his touch. Too scared to move, I just comply.
Alexander, looking a bit angry, glues his eyes to where Myers hand is on me. Does he wish I was clinging to him? That his big hand was on the small of my waist, wrapped around my hips?
"Sure. Don't take too long with MY date." Alexander said mocking him by also putting emphasis on the 'my' part. Alexander walks off while I conversate with Myers.
Alexanders P.O.V.-
Leaving Quinneth with her boyfriend I walk off to go talk to Christian and Aren. He seemed pretty angry that I won her instead of him. In reality she belongs to me I am her true mate and she mine. She just doesn't know it yet.
"Dude what the hell." Christian said.
"10,000 dollars for a girl Alex. Your father is going to kill you then bring you back and kill you again." Aren said adding fire to the fuel. She's always been the dramatic kind one of our group.
"She isn't some girl. Plus, I couldn't stand that dog Myers winning her instead of me. It had to be done he needs to know where he stands." I gruff.
"What are you going to do about your father?" Aren asked looking behind me. I turned around to see my father walking with a slight pace towards me. Anger written all over his face.
"You better figure it out quick." Christian said in a worried tone. Him and Aren walk off to the buffet leaving me with my father.
"Come with me." My father said angrily as he walked to the isolated part of the venue. I follow behind him.
"Are you crazy Alexander 10,000 dollars." My father said using his Alpha voice.
"I couldn't stand idle by while he took her from me, she's mine not his." I told him stepping closer.
"You're wrong she is his for the time being. You are aware of the danger that you put not only her in but the pack, the kingdom. I will not have you putting this in jeopardy because you're a love-struck wolf. Get it together." My father walked off into the crowd. God, he makes me angry. I turn around and punched the wall behind me, thank god no one saw that.
I walk back into the venue to see lover boy walking off angry. I smirked at this and walked over to her. I wonder what they talked about.
Quinneth's P.O.V.-
Alexander walks off to leave me and Myer's alone.
"Look I'm not apologizing for this. I can't control what happened." I told him.
"I know you can't it's just... he wants you. Can't you see that?" He asks me. His hands ball up in a fist as he looks over to Alexander. I turn around to see Alexander talking to most likely to be his friends. His girl friend looks over to me with curiousness. Looking me up and down, taking me in.
"I... He doesn't want me Myer's he's just toying with you." I told him as I put my hands on his chest to try and calm him down. He moved my hands off his chest in haste.
"Are you going to go on the date with him?" He asked.
"Yes, I have to go he won the bid that's usually how a dating auction works." I told him, a tad bit of base in my voice.
"Fine, be with him." Myers said as he stormed off.
"Wait!" I tried to grab his arm, but he was already gone.
I can't believe this is happening.
"OK everyone all the contestants and their dates come to the center of the floor for a dance." The announcer says.
"Shall we?" I turn around to see Alexander holding his hand out for me, I grab it and we head towards to the floor.
The band start to play a soft melody, the lights dim and it's just us and the movement. Alexander forcibly pulls me close to him and lays his hand on the small of my back and the other is holding my hand. We sway across the dance floor to the music. I distract myself by looking around at the other couples. The women all are talking to their dates or just looking around like I am. Alexander is very tall compared to my short stature so instead of looking over his shoulder I have to look around it. He notices this and looks down at me.
"What are you trying to do?" He asked me with a quizzical look on his face.
"Just observing the room." I told him craning my neck to look at him.
"How are you?" He said looking down at me.
"Fine. Why ask?"
"I just saw what went down with lover boy over there. He seemed angry just wanted to make sure you were alright." His eyes fill with worry. I've never seen this side of him so relaxed and sincere. Usually, he's cracking jokes or being cocky. He truly cared, when Myers asks me it seems like he's making himself ask not acting like he really cares.
"Thank you for asking and I'm fine, I'm always fine." I told him. My eyes move from his to his hand clasping mines. I look to see dried up blood on his hand, raw skin peeks out a bit.
"Alexander what happened!"
His eyes follow mines to his hand, he isn't shocked by what he sees.
"Oh that? I hit something on accident, I'm fine."
It doesn't look fine, I squeeze his hand a bit, he winces. "Your not fine."
While we still move I craddle his injured hand in mine, tiny sparks flow into me but I ignore them.
His good hand circles around my back pulling me impossibly closer, if that's even possible.
"Quinn, I'm fine really." He whispers down to me. "It'll heal."
We stare at each other for a long period of time I start to analyze his face. He has bushy black eyebrows, a strong nose and plump lips. He has a sharp jaw and a clean shave. His eyes are what's more beautiful, they are a piercing black with specs of grey in them. A piece of hair falls out of place, I slowly reach up and tuck it behind his ear, he shutters at my gesture.
"It fell I just wanted to fix it." I said looking down as I blush.
"Thank you." He said with a smile. I forget all about his hand.
The song stops and the DJ starts to play a more upbeat song. I look around to see everyone coming out to the floor and start dancing, oh gosh.
"We don't have to dance if you don't want." I asked Alexander hoping he would agree with me and go sit down.
"No, I want to dance." He pulls me forcibly by my waist so I'm super close to him. We move from side to side. He grabs my hand and spins me out and then spins me back into him. I gasp, taken away by surprise. I had no idea he knew how to dance. He picks me up and spins me around, everyone turns to look at us. I can't help it but laugh, this is insane.
We continue on dancing, he spins me again and even dips me. As I'm in mid dip everything moves in slow motion. I feel my hair leaving my neck and swopping behind me, Alexanders hands grip my back so I don't fall, the music around me drains from my ears and it's only the two of us. He looks at me with adoration in his eyes a smile plastered on this face. This is a moment I will never forget. After the dance is over the music, laughter or people seem to come back into motion.
When the song is finally over my hair is all over the place and Alexander is sweating a lot. We both look towards each other and laugh; this is the most fun I've had in a long time.
"Give it up for the best dancers of the night Quinneth and Alexander." Everyone cheers and hollers for us. We both take a bow and proceed to our table.
I plop down in my seat of exhaustion, Alexander repeats the same thing I do.
"I haven't had fun like that in a long time." I tell him while I try to flatten my hair down.
"Me either." He said alongside me laughing still.
I look to his face to see beads of sweat gliding down his face. Grabbing the table napkin near me, I stand up and grab his face.
"Are you going to kiss me?" He asked puckering his lips. Oh how I wish.
"You wish." I tell him while wiping the sweat off his forehead. Once I'm done, I lay the napkin back on the table and sit down.
"Thank you, Quinn." He spoke.
"Your very welcome." I responded back.
"Hey all that dancing made me hungry you want some cake?" He said pointing over to the buffet. My stomach starts to growl, I blush pressing my hand against my stomach to stop the growling. "I'll take that as a yes, be right back." He walks swiftly over to the buffet.
I fix my hair up again and start to smooth down my dress. I KNOW I look a mess.
"What is going on here?" Lyra says leaning over me. I instantly jump up from her presence, she scared the crap out of me.
"Jesus Lyra don't scare me like that, and shouldn't you be doing your job?" I asked her craning my neck so I can look at her.
"Oh, don't worry about me I'm doing my job. I saw you two on the dance floor." She said wiggling her eyebrows.
"And?" I said putting my hand on my hip waiting for her to say something crazy.
"Nothing, just you guys seem real cozy and such. Anything happens let me know, will you?" I rolled my eyes and pushed her away from me as I saw Alexander coming back with the cake.
"Nothing is going to happen get out of here." I tell her. She walks away from me and heads towards the stage. I smile up at Alexander as he comes back to the table and hands me my cake.
"Yayy velvet cake I love velvet cake. For the longest I truly thought it was a flavor." I said laughing. I slice a piece off with my fork and put it in my mouth.
"Truly?" He said looking at me.
"I swear. This has turned into a really fun night." I put down my fork and look him. He's devouring his cake like it's his last meal.
"Me too. Glad that I bided on you huh?" He said patting me on the leg.
"Don't get cocky now." I said taking another bite of my cake. When I look up from my delicious desert, I see that girl that Alexander was talking to staring at me across the room. Her eyes boar into my soul.
"What are you looking at?" Alexander asked.
"Your girlfriend keeps staring at me, it's weird." I nudged my head to her and he looks in that direction. He turns back to me and laughs, I looked at him with a puzzling look on my face.
"Why are you laughing?"
"That's my friend."
"Well tell your FRIEND to stop staring at me it's weird." I said putting emphasis on the 'friend' part.
He puts down his fork and ushers over his friend and another guy I'm assuming is his other friend. As they start to get closer, I smack him on the leg. "What the hell are you doing?"
"You told me to tell her to stop staring and that's what I'm doing."
Is he mad? They finally reach our table and I put a smile on my face, knowing that this conversation was about to get awkward.
"Hey my good friend here Quinneth wanted me to tell you to stop staring at her. She said it was weird." She looked at Alexander then she looked at me while crossing her arms.
I pulled Alexander by his shirt close to me. "Damn it Alexander you didn't have to say that." I let go of his shirt and we go back to our regular positions. "It wasn't that serious you know." I tell her hoping that she doesn't kill me, she looks like she could kill me.
"I can't help it, Alexander said you were the most beautiful women he's ever seen I had to make sure it was true." She said while smirking at me. I blush from embarrassment and whisper a quiet oh and turn to look at Alexander. His eyes cut to her.
"Oh, I'm sure he was joking." I said with an awkward smile.
"He wasn't." She spoke. His other friend told her to be quiet and she shrugged him off.
"Alright well I'm Christian and this rude individual is Aren." He reaches out his hand for me to shake. I shake his hand and give him a smile. "We will be leaving you too now, see you guys later." Christian walks off pulling Aren with him.
"So, you think I'm the most beautiful women you've ever met?" I asked, making full eye contact with him.
"I do actually." He said to confidently. Well, that's not what I imagined he would say.
"I didn't think you thought I was beautiful." I blush.
He looks at me baffled, "Have you not seen yourself, especially tonight."
I couldn't help but plaster a big smile on my face. "That's nice to know."
"You don't think that it seems creepy?" He asked.
"No, I think it's sweet."
I walk out of the dressing room with my regular clothes on. The event ended on a high note, the clinic raised over 20,000 dollars for the animals which is fantastic. This is the highest amount of money they have ever raised. Looking around the place, I see everyone putting up the tables and chairs. Off in the distance I see Alexander with his tie hanging around his neck and his hands tucked in his slacks.
"Ready to go. I'll walk you to your car."
"Yes, and thank you." We enter out into the dark parking lot, most of everyone has gone home already. A few cars lay barren in the lot. Walking in silence we arrive at my car.
"Popular to contrary belief I had lots of fun tonight." I told him nuzzling up against my coat, it's rather chilly out here.
"I knew you would. I am after all the life of the party." He said praising himself.
I roll my eyes at him and laugh at his comment. Unlocking my car door, I throw my bag in the passenger seat and start up my car so it can warm up.
"I guess the next time we meet it will be our date."
"Yeah it will." I look him up and down and he doesn't seem to be affected by the cold.
"Aren't you cold?" I ask him.
"Not really I'm warm blooded." He tells me with a straight face. Oh, alright.
"I must be going my grandpa might be worried about me." I start to turn, but his hand clenches onto my arm stopping me from moving.
"Wait a minute." Alexanders says as he runs to his car. What is he doing? He comes back with a bouquet of lotus flowers. "I forgot to give you these." He hands me the flowers.
"Wow. . .How- I- how did you know I loved Lotus flowers?" I asked him while sniffing them.
"Well you had lotus flowers drawn on your binder and you also wear a bracelet of lotus flowers."
"I didn't think you noticed that. Forgot I even had this bracelet, thank you." He gives me a smile and a nod.
"See you next time on our date. Can't wait, wear something. . .sexy." He winks and walks over to this car and I get inside mine. For a few minutes I just sit in the parking lot staring at the flowers, they are truly magnificent.
He really does notice me. I guess he's not as arrogant and cocky as I may think.
