ASHANTI'S POV.

"Why did you suddenly get so eager to get into the car?" Asks Reagan as he straps on his seatbelt. I nearly roll my eyes at him. "I know it isn't because of what I said."

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the amount of people who were already giving us weird looks? Some even stopped in their tracks to watch our banter."

"And is that a bad thing?" I lean against the chair and shoot him a fierce glare.

"Are you seriously asking me that question right now?" My voice is a tone higher than it should be. The driver sitting in front, who has no interest in our banter, ignites the car engine and starts pulling out of the driveway. I'm still glaring at Alpha Reagan like he's lost his mind, while he's smiling.

He's fucking smiling as though there was anything funny in what I said.

"Nothing is funny. I don't see what's making you smile."

"This..." He points his index finger at my face and starts circling it before me. "All this drama you're creating right now is funny. And cute."

My face goes dark with a frown. I huff and fold my arms over my breast, my piercing gaze never leaving his face. He suddenly burst into a light chuckle as if my piercing gaze is caressing him instead. It's so annoying.
