Her Devilish Alpha - Chapter 202

“So, we have a whole day to ourselves,” Xavier said to Madeline.

“So we get to enjoy our third date. The whole day, just us,” said Madeline ecstatically, a ball of excitement.

“What do you have in mind?” He questioned.

“We go to the city, I’m bringing you to a mall where we can do plenty of things.”

“I’ve never been to a mall before, it’ll be a first.”

“A first to remember, hopefully. So, you ready?” Madeline questioned.

“Ready,”  said Xavier as he intertwined his hand with hers, telling her, “Let’s go.”

A couple of hours later, they arrived at the mall.

“Wow, this place is huge,” Xavier said, in awe.

“Mhm, and we haven’t even entered the place yet.”

Gone was the same man who had numerous expectations placed on him and had a pack to run. Xavier was just a person now. A person who had the entire day to himself and decided to go to the mall as a date.

“Where do you think we should go first? I’ll follow.”

Madeline chuckled, “What about we get some food first?”

“Yes please,” Xavier said, a smile etched on his handsome face.

She was glad to see Xavier was excited. Sure, it wasn’t extravagant or out of this world, but it was something. And they had the whole day to themselves so Xavier wouldn’t have to rush to return to work. Lawrence was there, so no one would suspect anything either.

The two of them decided to stop by a lavish restaurant for lunch.

Xavier watched as Madeline crinkled her nose, trying to decide what to order.

The waitress that was taking their order kept staring at Xavier, unable to take her eyes off of him. She never knew such a man existed in the world. This man had looks that made models dull in comparison. She eyed Madeline jealously. Lucky girl.

After both Madeline and Xavier placed their orders, the waitress took one more look at Xavier before scurrying away.

She whispered to her colleague, “Hottie alert, at table seven.”

“Oh my goodness,” the colleague replied once she laid eyes on Xavier. She questioned, “Can I swap with you? Serve them their meals?”

Her friend scoffed in response, “Not a chance.”

What they weren’t aware of, however, was that Xavier was listening in to their conversation. And he wished he hadn’t.

Madeline had noticed the waitress shooting Xavier glances, and her colleague staring at him.

“Seems like you’re real popular with the ladies,” Madeline teased, wiggling her eyebrows.

Xavier held his nose up in the air and replied, “Too bad I’ve only got eyes for one lady.”

He kissed the back of Madeline’s hand, causing her to giggle.

“Wah, he’s taken. I hoped they were just friends at first but it seems like I’m wrong,” the waitress whispered.

“There’s always next time.”

“Do you think he’s a model? Or a celebrity?” The waitress questioned.

“Wouldn’t put it past the man, have you seen him, Diana?” The colleague replied with.

The waitress, or Diana, as her colleague had called her, frowned. She began, “If the man’s a celebrity, or a model, I think I would’ve heard of him by now. Or seen a picture of him.”

She heard a bell ring and whipped around. Xavier and Madeline’s order was ready.

Once she served them their order, she returned to her colleague.

“Gotta hand it to them, they look good together,” her colleague remarked.

“I wonder what’s his name,” Diana mused.

“I bet it’s some hot name.”

“Megan!” Diana whisper-shouted.

“Why don’t we flip a coin? Heads, you ask his name when you bring them their bill. Tails, you don’t.”

“Do you have a coin?” Diana questioned.

Megan smiled, bringing out a coin from her pocket.

“Do you just keep coins in your pocket?”

“No, I just had one today. Leftover change when I bought myself my daily dose of caffeine.”

“Quit stalling and flip it.”

After Xavier had made his fourteenth pun in the short span of an hour, Madeine scoffed.

“We should probably get the bill now, they’ve been looking at us this entire time.”

“I don’t think they’re looking at us because they want us to leave,” Xavier stated.

“What did you hear?”

“They think I’m handsome. Like some model or celebrity.”

“That’s because you are,” Madeline replied, gazing dreamily at him.

She wanted to tell him that he was more than just a handsome face to her. He was way more than that. Xavier was smart, had an amazing sense of humor, sweet like the light of the stars, he made her feel a way she had never felt before.

“We should ask for the bill now,” Xavier said, snapping Madeline out of her reverie.

“Way to ruin the mood.”

“I’m not ruining anything,” Xavier retorted, “Except that–”

His cheeks seared. He hadn’t meant to say that.

“Hmm?” Madeline asked as she raised her hand, beckoning Diana over.

Diana rushed over to Madeline, who asked her, “May we have the check, please?”

“Of course!” Diana exclaimed. She printed out the check for table seven and hastily returned, handing Madeline the check. She inhaled, bracing herself.

Tapping Xavier on the shoulder, she began, “Also, I wanted to ask, what’s your name?”

“Why ask?” Xavier questioned, knowing damn well what the answer was.

“I w-was j-just wondering,” Diana stuttered.

Madeline glared at her, watching as Xavier said to her, “The name’s Xavier.”

Why did she feel so… upset?

“That’s a nice name,” Diana squeaked, shutting her eyes. She couldn’t believe she actually asked Xavier for his name. It sounded like she was into him.

Once the bill was paid, Madeline and Xavier left.

“Are you okay?” Xavier questioned, “You’ve been quiet ever since we left the restaurant.”

“I’m fine,” Madeline reassured.

“You don’t look fine,” he stated before he gasped.

“Are you jealous?”
