NovelEnglishASHANTI'S POV.
"Cin." I call out the moment I hear a knock on my room door. Immediately, the creaks open slightly and Ryan's black hair pokes in.
"Ryan." I call, chuckling lightly. "What's wrong? Why are you poking just your head through the door?" "Your date has arrived to pick you up." "Oh..." I double tap on my phone's screen and it lights up. Twenty-eight minutes past five pm. The man is as early as a bird. "Tell him I'll be right there." "Yes Ma'am." He does a little bow and withdraws his head before closing the door. Still smiling, I turn back to my mirror and push myself up to my feet, inspecting my looks and outfit. Everything looks intact so pick up my hand bag and cell phone and process to exit the bedroom.
As I descend the stairs, I can already see a well dressed Leonard, waiting forat the foot of the staircase with a very sexy smile plastered on his lips. He looks very handsand pristine. His manly cologne is druggingand I'm smiling like an idiot as I approach him. When I get to the last stairs, he stretches his hand forward forto take, which I gladly do and he plants a warm kiss on it. There are no sparks. No shivers run down my spine like they always do when Alpha Reagan does something like this, but it makesfeel good. My face nearly splits into two halves as I smile at him. He's so sweet.
"You look ravishing, Ashanti. I'm so happy I asked you out for dinner." A small giggle escapes my lips as I take the last step.

My cheeks heat up and my entire face goes red as I blush at his compliment. I forgot how good it feels to receive compliments from a man. A good looking one at that. "Shall we?" He says, holding out his right arms which I gladly sling my hands around and look up at me. He blinks and eyes at me, makinggiggle even more.
If Alpha Reagan sees this, he's going to lose his mind, but I don't care. If he can give his attention to another girl, I can give line to another man too.
Two can play this game.
Leonard and I turn to leave only to see Ryan standing before us, blocking our way.
"Ryan." I call in surprise. He doesn't even sparea glance. His gaze is on Leonard.
"You again." He says, his voice as cold as ice.
"Yes,again." Leonard replies in a calm tone.
"Ive counted every strand of hair on her head. Bring her back with one missing and you'll face my wrath!" He threatens and I have to seal my lips to prevent the laughter bubbling in my chest from spilling out. What a hilarious way to issue a warning to someone.
"Rest assured Sir, I will bring her back to you with all her hair strands intact and in their place." I don't even know why Leonard is playing along. Sometimes Ryan seems to forget the fact I'm the older one between us.
"Good." He steps aside. "You may leave." "Thank you, Sir." *Oh please Leonard, you don't have to put up with that." I tell him and Ryan shootsa glare that hits my soul.
"I have to." Leonard says as we make our way across the spacious living room to the main door. "In the absence of your father from whom I had to ask for permission to take you out on a night like this, Ryan fills that spot and I have to respect his wishes." "If you say." I say, laughing lightly as we step out into the compound premises.

This man leadingout here is not only sweet and charming, but he's got a good sense of humour. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a great evening with him.
"Oh shoot!" He exclaims and suddenly haltaa in his tracks. Pdto a halt as well and look up at him.
"What's wrong?" I ask, alarmed.
"Look who we have here." He announces quietly and I look straight ahead of us.
I nearly sprout out a pair of wings and fly away when see Alpha m Reagan dasually leaning by a BI ack Range Rover parked in the driveway.
