Looking overwhelmed with perfection, Paula got tired of staring from one side to another and she just stood in the middle of the floor, with her hands spread out and her head to the sky, she smiled delightfully and repeated, " Perfecto".
"Clear the whole Empathy Suite for me!"
That was the next thing Paula heard, drawing from La-La Land.
"What the hell!", She exclaimed rushing to the receptionist.
"I'm sorry sir, though the suite isn't full but we can't evacuate our esteemed customers. . ."
"I will double the pay", he blurted feeling no sting.
Paula and the receptionist did, they felt the sting. It is a whole lot of money staying in the VVIP suite talk more of doubling and is not like he will be staying for a day. Paula was taken aback, staring in utmost disbelief.
"I'm sorry sir, . . .still. . .", Judith stammered, not knowing what next to say.
"Call the manager", he cut in immediately feeling irritated. "I hate standing like this".
Just like a robot, Judith picked up the phone and called the manager at once.
". . . . . . .Yes, ma'am", dropping the telephone "She will be here in no time". She added.
The manager, Loretta arrived as soon as possible and the same conversation repeated itself, but she was more stubborn than the receptionist.
"We have the vice president and his executives here today, and you want me to send them out? Today of all days!. . ." Flipping her hair backward she concluded, "No, never!".
Dalton, despite all this, was unmoved, looking intensely from one angle to another, one could tell he was pissed. That was for him and how he felt, for King 'd' Land and her staff, he was an agent sent to drop their service and boost their rival's.
All of a sudden, he held her hand lightly and whispered " Tell them to all leave now".
Loretta facing Judith gave the command at once, "Empty the suite now"
An unimagined twist just took place and Judith was left in total meido, she quickly picked up the phone and made the necessary calls, and all at once the people in the VVIP suite flushed out at once, no complaints, no struggles, no nothing. They just took their luggages and left like normal visitors departing.
He slipped his credit card into the machine and made the transfer ASAP.
Going closer to the receptionist, who was vibrating already, he held her hand and that of the manager's and whispered again.
"Forget what just happened now", he commanded.
Turning to Paula who was standing like a stone agape, he motioned "Let's go"
She hesitated, moving backward in fear, he grabbed her by the waist and looked closely into her eyes, his hair fell onto her face and she could smell the sweet scent of him.
"He is very rich", came the voice again.
"You are yet to see all of it, ven conmigo", he persuaded
"What am I yet to see?" Paula asked terrified.
"Hahahahaha...." He laughed reviewing his white teeth, "your father hasn't told you then, vamos", he said pulling her behind him.
This must be one of the strangest things she has seen apart from the ravaged town of theirs.
Dalton just displayed his supernatural powers before her and she feels satisfied instead of uncomfortable, could this be because she is a werewolf like him?
Hold your breath but not too tight, you might not be able to breathe again...lol... let's dive deeper. . .
Paula followed him like a puppet, stepping at the very spot he trodded, wondering about the weird incident.
"Whoa. . . Mind control system?", she whispered looking up at him.
For her, she has only heard of people controlling other people by just reading their minds and logically controlling their thoughts. This was a restricted ability that only a few could lay hands on and she thought she must be lucky to have seen it with her own eyes.
His father didn't tell her anything and not even her Maama, that alone was eating her deep. She tried focusing, forcing herself from where love was taking her.
Just his straight back and his perfectly styled hair lying against his skin were enough to sweep her off her feet. She pressed on staggering between those two disturbing thoughts, with one struggling to be dominant.
"Maama never wanted me to come here", she said to herself loudly not minding if Dalton heard or not.
She covered the pace and called out, "hey. . ." Turning to her, she moved back briskly unable to say anything.
"You knew the different hotels in the city but you said I should come show you", looking down like she was searching for something, she blurted "You lied to me!"
"Save it"
". . . And my parents!", She continued not minding his calmness.
Opening the door for her "You are welcome, have a wonderful stay". He said again giving a mischievous smile
You know that particular smile right? the one that makes people appear unapproachable.
She came in casting him a questioning look, dropping his luggage to the couch, "Thank you for following me, Paula"
"Wow. .. . . . . ., This is the second time you are calling my name, and not for once have you told me yours. I never mentioned it to you neither did my Pa and Ma", shaking off the strange feeling building in her, she continued,
"I'm not surprised you know my name, it's a very simple name", standing from the bed, "Why did you lie? I would have followed you even if you knew the place"
"You wouldn't I bet", he said in conviction
"Is alright", Paula shrugged moving to the door, " You have finally settled in so fine, I should get going"
"You love me, Paula"
What! Did he just say. . . . . . . Oh my God!, Dalton acts unexpectedly all the time, and this one is . . . .. . . . So loud, like way too loud.
Would he now break her heart by saying he doesn't feel the same for her?, Let me guess "I like the fact that you like me, I wouldn't judge you for that, you know, I get that a lot. Most girls see me and gush over me like I'm some kind of pretty alien from heaven, it's cute you joined the long queue"
Will he say this? wonder what he will say next Let's find out quickly.
Paula stood with her hand on the door, shocked at the revelation she was aware of but not expecting to be out yet.
"Who are you?" She asked turning slowly from the door.
"Dalton, the first and only love of your life. You couldn't even pretend..... ..love at first sight...huh?" He added smiling
Standing from his couch he moved slowly, measuring his steps, ' We are werewolves. . . . . . .. Paula", He announced giving a weak smile.
Moving very close to her leaving no space between them, he pinned her to the door and whispered slowly, "You are my designated Beta"
Sorpresa?... lol
