VICTORIA'S POV

Can you guys guess, what I am doing right now? Eating? Yup, you are right. I was eating. And not only eating, but I was also staring at the people who were sitting in front of me, eating while they boast about having a partner for the prom. ​​

Taking a bite from my sandwich, I stared, more like glared, at the girls of our group who were giggling happily, as my annoyance was getting near its peak.

Gazing to my left, I noticed Chris moving towards us with his lunch as he laughed with his friends.

Isn't he the reason why I am not in good mood, in the first place?

"He is," Carla confirmed and thus, smirking widely, I looked back at my food, taking another bite, to act monotonous.

Since the only empty seat on the table was beside me, Chris placed his plate on the table beside me and was about to sit, but, as soon as he bent his body to sit, I pulled the chair underneath from him, making him fall with an 'oomph'.

Everyone paused what they were doing, and looked at me shocked.

After a few seconds of silence, I heard loud laughter erupting from my table as everyone started laughing at Chris's ashen face.

"Try disturbing and annoying me next time," I said smirking, before sipping on my juice, while everyone showed me two thumbs up, complimenting my revenge, making me bow dramatically.

"You!-" He started while glaring at me, but stopped when he glanced behind me.

Turning around, I noticed Daniel standing there leisurely, with a playful smile on his face.

"Is our Victoria getting mischievous again?" He murmured before he pulled on my cheeks.

Swatting his hand away, I went back to my eating, while the guys started talking again.

"Hey, umm, so I wanted to ask you something." Daniel started.

"Mm...shure...go aheazz," I said with my mouth full, as my gaze landed on his pasta.

Taking a bite from his pasta, I almost moaned because of its taste.

"Umm, so here's the thing, I want to say something to you, but Currently, for several reasons, I can't. I was thinking of saying it after the prom tomorrow, but now that Alexander is your partner for the night, can you spare me a few minutes after the dance?" Daniel asked smiling at my eating while scratching the back of his neck nervously.

I almost choked on my food, listening to his words.

"What did you say, in the end?" I asked again, not sure if I heard it right.

"Spare me a few minutes?" Daniel repeated confused.

"No, before that."

"Because Alexander is your partner?"

"Yeah, about that. Who told you Alexander is my partner for the prom, as long as I know he hasn't even asked-" before I could complete my sentence, a large hand clamped on my mouth, rendering me unable to say anything.

Smelling the familiar scent I knew, who it was, and thus, after quickly finishing the food in my mouth, I bit on his palm.

"Geez! Ouch! What are you doing?" He whispered yelled.

"What the hell are YOU doing, with your hand-" I turned around to shout, but stopped mid-way when I noticed how close his face was to mine.

If we both pucker our lips, I am sure, we will be able to at least have a small peck.

Looking at his luscious lips, I so badly wanted to cover that 2 inches difference, but controlled myself at the last moment, and turned back to front.

I was about to put the last piece of sandwich in my mouth when I was forcefully pulled out of my chair, as Alexander grabbed me by holding on to my shoulders as you would do to a kid.

"Hey! What the hell? I am not done with my food yet! Guys? Help me?" I looked at our friends who just continued to laugh at my miseries, especially Chris, who even dared to flare is tongue at me.

I looked towards Daniel who had a complicated expression on his face and was about to call to him for help, when Alexander lifted me in his arms, and clamped his other hand on my mouth again, which made me speechless. Literally!

I so, want to smack the funny expression that everyone was giving me. "What are you looking at, creep?!" I shouted at one of the guys, removing Alexander's hand with great difficulty, making Alexander turn around and glaring at everyone.

Much to my surprise, everyone immediately stopped looking at me.

"Woah! What kind of leader power does he have, for everyone to fear him like that?" I thought aloud in my head.

"Girl! That's not even the point. You are practically getting kidnapped!" Carla reminded me, and I started to struggle again, for him to free myself, but nothing worked.

It wasn't until, we reached a little bit inside the forest, which was at the backside of the university, did he finally put me down.

"Thank you, for putting me down yeah?" I scoffed annoyed as I straightened the clothes that crippled because of his hooligan carrying me.

"I know it was wrong of me, to carry you out like that, without your permission, but I had no choice. You would've said yes, to him, if I weren't there. What I mean to ask and say is, will you go on the prom night with me, as my dance partner, as my mate?" Alexander asked me, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

However, I would definitely agree that it was different from what I imagined it would be all about? I never thought he wanted to ask me out when he carried me like that. I thought it was one of his pranks again.

'Well, that's one hell of a way of asking someone out. No?' I thought not knowing whether should I be happy at that or not.

Leaning on the tree, I observed his stance from head to toe. Honestly, I won't deny the fact, that I liked his hooligan style of asking me out to prom.

I know, something was wrong with my head.

Looking back at his expectant, my gaze flickered back to his lips, "kiss me and I will say yes." I wanted to say, but I knew, I will receive a good one from Carla and thus, refrained from saying something like that.

However, it didn't mean I can't do anything else.

"So will you?" Alexander asked again, as he came closer to me when I didn't answer for long.

I don't know why, we always end up in a position like this, and couldn't help but get annoyed now.

Isn't the hero supposed to kiss the lady, when they are so close leaning on each other, in a compromising position when there is no one around?

Sighing, loudly, I straightened before holding Alexander's hand and turned him around, as I pushed him on the tree.

'Should I proceed like the hero of this drama?' I asked Carla, who for some unknown reason was fangirling in my mind.

I looked back at Alexander who had a surprised and shocked expression on his face.

Straightening my left leg, as I raised it and placed it beside Alexander's shoulders, I leaned a bit closer before holding his chin in my hands.

"You tell me, what do you want me to do," I asked. As I noticed his Adam's apple going up and down, which made me traced it, with my index finger.

"What are you doing?" He asked, his voice getting deeper and trembling a bit, with his eyes widening at my actions.

"Can't you see? I am taking action here." I replied with my gaze still focussed on his lips and then back to neck.

'Oh! How much I want to bite his neck right now.' I thought as I felt that my canines were practically asking me to bite him, as a faint pain shot in them before dying down.

Thinking it was just my imaginations running wild because I want some intimacy, I concentrated back on his lips.

I could feel my throat drying as I tried to control my feelings.

"What?" He asked surprised, making me roll my eyes at him.

This guy is even dumber than me.

Placing my hand on his chest, where the two buttons of his shirt were undone, I wanted to laugh when Alexander's face immediately started reddening.

How cute!

"You haven't replied to me yet. What do you want me to do?" I asked, with a hidden meaning in my question.

'Ohh, just say kiss me. And I will. Oh god! How much I want to rip his shirt right now and roam my hands all over his chest, feeling that kissable skin, as I-' I thought in my head, stopping myself just in time to not get carried away with the emotions.

I could feel my hand starting to feel hot, because, let me be honest, I was doing something like this for the first time.

Seducing and making a guy uncomfortable, you know, and thus, deep down I was myself feeling shy.

"Go with me." He said, as he leaned forward, 'much to my surprise' before placing his head in my neck, while he took a deep breath, making a shiver run down my spine.

This reaction of his surprised me so much, that my stance trembled and I hurriedly put my leg down, before trying to make some distance between us.

However, his firm hand on my back rendered me unable to move even an inch.

"Let me stay like this. It calms me down, you know that. Victory, you have no idea, how much I hate it when you talk to other guys." He murmured in my hairs, and I think it wasn't meant to be heard because of how low he whispered, but I still heard it.

I know it sounds weird but, this made me smile so wide, that I got reprimanding from Carla again.

'Just look at you, acting like a lovesick puppy, when he hadn't even proposed to you. Get your act together girl. I want him to propose us, first, because let me warn you- Your transformation is gonna take place soon. I just don't want to force you into it, until he tells you everything. Your canines- leave it.' Carla said before sitting back calmly.

'What?' I asked, not even a single word she said getting inside my brain, as my head was muddle-headed, with Alexander's proximity.

Placing my hands on his chest to support myself, as I sneakily undid one more button, I gently leaned on him and making him lean back on the tree, to support our weight so that we can lean on each other for a while without having the fear of falling.

I don't know what this feeling was. It was so confusing.

We both haven't proposed to each other yet, but I am sure if we keep kissing and other things decide, then aren't we practically living as a couple already. No?

Or was it just my wishful thinking?

"I will go with you." I finally said, and I could feel him smiling in my neck, which made me smile, as I tightened my fists on his shirt.

"You know, you are gonna rip that fabric out. You can tell me if you want to have me shirtless. I promise this privilege is only for you." Alexander winked at me, which made me hurriedly push him away as I ran back to the university in embarrassment.

I could hear his distant laughing, as I was running away, which made my face burn more than it already was.
