Ch. 23

**later in the afternoon**

As Izak and Alex arrived at the mall, they both encountered the heiress and heir.

"Look who's here." Izak said, gaining their attentions.

"Oh! Hey Izak!" Sasuko replied with a bright smile. "I'm guessing you're also here to get ready for that... gathering?"

"Yeah. Being honest, it seems quite strange to me. Especially since shortly after the invitations were sent, Roxas just happened to leave Silver."

"Yeah, what's worse is that Levka is volunteering to be the next CEO for the Mia corporation."

"Hmm... he hasn't been around his mother that much.. Maybe he changed? Either way, we have to be careful. Changing the subject, this is my fiance Alexander Reid."

Sasuko: X3 "Hi there!"

Alex: X3 "Um... hi."

Slightly looking at Andrew, Alex gives him a small greeting smile, which Andrew returned with a small node.

"Kyaaa!! You're so cute!!" Sasuko exclaimed as she patted Alex's head.

"Heh.." Alex smiles cheerfully. "I think I already like you!!! Oh, and please just call me Alex!"

"Yeeeee!!!" Gently patting his head, Sasuko smiles. "How about we go look for our outfits together!?"

"Okay!!"

Cheerfully smiling, both Alex and Sasuko walked away talking about whatever came to mind. In the meantime, Izak and Andrew both had an annoyed expression.

"They both forgot about us.... wow." Izak said.

"I know.. so not cool." Andrew responded.

Sighing deeply, Andrew and Izak quietly followed their mates.

"So!! Where to first!?" Sasuko asked.

Izak: 030 "Hm.." Looking around, he shrugs small. "Not so sure! Good question!"

Sasuko: X3 "Too many options!"

"Uh-huh!!"

After a few hours, both couples finally finished shopping. Giving their farewells, Izak gently takes Alex's hand.

"Enjoyed your time?" He asked.

Smiling small, Alex takes back his hand. "Yes I did! Thank you."

"No need to thank me. It is my job to make sure you are enjoying your time when we go out. And if we are home. Buuut, there is something I didn't like."

"What was that?"

"You ignoring me once you met Sasuko."

"Pfft-! My beloved fiance is jelly!!"

"N- no I'm not!!"

"Yes you are! Admit it!!"

"Never!"

"Why not??? It is true after all!!"

"Hmmm..."

"Hehe."

"Hmmmmmmmm..."

"Admit it, hubby~~!"

Blushing hard, Izak looks away, growling angrily. "Fine!! You win."

"Yay~! Do I get any sort of reward~~?"

"If you want~. Just tell me what~~."

"Heh, I think you know~."

"Alright~. Let's just get home first."

"Yay~!!"
