Alyssa called Keiko the next day for advice.
" So are you coming with us?" Alyssa asked suddenly nervous.
" Do you trust my brother? Do you feel safe with him, like you were meant to be with only him?"
" I do.." she said without hesitation.
Keiko grinned, " Well, I now pronounce you, Alpha and Luna, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend. You can kiss him later."
Alyssa rolled her eyes, grinning like loon.
" You are my bestie first and his sister second got that?"
" Yes ma'am but if you hurt my brother, you're dead."
" Noted, I would never hurt him," she said seriously.
Keiko came over to give fashion advice but after five minutes she was sick of Alyssa's bland , nonsexy wardrobe.
" She needs a makeover, " her mother said from the door.
" Mom!"
" It's true, though Lyss, librarians have sexier outfits."Keiko added with a shrug.
Mrs Wilson eyed Keiko's stylish crop top and high waist skinnies.
" I leave her in your capable hands."
They were running from store to store not five minutes later.
" This is the dress!"
Alyssa eyed the form fitting sundress with dread.
" It's too short, I can't pull that off..."
" Just try it on," her mom urged from her seat beside Keiko.
Alyssa rolled her eyes, sulking as she made her way to the changing room.
Keiko and Mrs Wilson shared a high five as she went.
" I saw that!"
Alyssa watched her reflection in disbelief .
Not only did the dress fit but it highlighted curves she hadn't even known about.
" Come on, honey , we promise not to say we told you so," her mom cried.
She walked out like a goddess, her long red hair shining and complementing the emerald green of the dress.
" Oh wow, Lyss, you're beautiful. Poor Kai won't know what hit him," Keiko teased.
Alyssa had the oddest sense of being watched. Her neck pricked but when she turned to look she saw nobody.
" This is it then,right?"
The answer was loud applause from everyone in the store.
They rang the dress up and got makeup and sexy strappy heels to go with it. She was all set to go out on her first date with the boy of her dreams.
She still couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. Even after Keiko went home and her mom went to make dinner she still felt on edge.
She was just about to call Kai when the doorbell rang.
A tall blond man stood proudly outside her door. She despised him on sight.
" Mom are you expecting anyone?" She was yelling now cause the man made her feel uneasy.
She looked through the peephole and saw him sniffing.
" He's sniffling out our place?" she whispered to her mother.
Her mother opened the door and froze.
" Hello Ally,"
Ally? Who the hell was this guy?
" What do you want, Frank?"
Frank? Did that mean this asshat was her father?
Alyssa moved to glare at him, their expressions like a mirror.
" She grew up. ."
" Well what did you think, Frank? That time stopped when you left us?"
Alyssa folded her arms as she glared at her father.
" I want to make it up to you... "
" You can't. Now if there's nothing else ,please leave ."
" She's old enough to speak for herself, Ally."
" Me? If the decision is mine you can just go back to hell, we don't need you."
Alyssa slammed the door for emphasis
" I'll be back, Ally, you know I'm tenacious when I want something. "
Alyssa watched as he climbed into his car, sniffing as he went . Wtf is this dude doing?
Kai arrived five minutes later and he looked as angry as she felt.
" What's wrong?" he asked the minute she opened the door.
" My father showed up out of the blue just now, he kept sniffing the place, it was totally weird."
" What did he want?"
" We don't know and we dont care! He left my mom knowing she was pregnant. What's worse he stole her research!"
Kai felt the dread lodge deep in his stomach.
" What was she working on?"
Mrs Wilsom had heard enough. She got up and walked to where they were sitting in her living room.
" Listen you two, forget that douchebag and go see your movie."
Alyssa looked uncertain and it broke his heart.
" Are you sure, Mom?"
" Positive now go on. Have fun."
