My Professor Is My Alpha Mate
#Chapter 157 – Connie and Tyler left the date

Lila's POV

"Where have they gone off to?” I asked, staring at the now empty table that Connie and Tyler once occupied.

I looked over at Enzo who looked just as confused.

“I'm not sure,” Enzo said, glancing back at me.

Enzo got the waiter's attention and quickly paid the check before we left the restaurant. They couldn't have gone far; they were only here moments ago.

I was worried though that something might have happened. Did she reject him and then he took off?

My heart ached at the very thought of him being so heartbroken that he had to leave. She promised she wouldn't do anything until the very end of the evening. We still had so much planned for them. “I can smell her perfume coming from this direction,” Enzo said, motioning for me to follow him. We went in the direction of the waterfront that overlooked the ocean. Not far from the waterfront was the beach and he was right, the scent of her perfume was growing stronger as we neared that area.

They must have gone down to the beach for whatever reason. This wasn't part of the plan and Connie didn’t seem like the kind of person who even liked the beach. This must have been Tyler's idea.

Why couldn't he just stick to the plan?

Connie surprised me by laughing.

“I'm open to that idea,” she said in return. “My flight isn't for another week. That gives us time to go on another date... a real date that we can both enjoy. We can get to know each other a little better and go from there. Would you like that?”

He was quiet for a moment longer before his lips formed into a massive grin.

“I would like that very much,” he breathed, cupping her face in her hands.

I nearly gasped when he brought her lips to hers and they started kissing. Just as their lips touched, Enzo brought his hands to cover my eyes.

“We don't need to watch the rest of this,” Enzo told me, using his other hand to pull me away.

“I feel awful,” I breathed as we began walking off the beach. “They were right; we did this for us... not for them. I ignored Tyler's wishes the entire time thinking that Connie would hate all his ideas. But he's her mate... I should have known she would have loved anything he came up with.”

"Well, I guess now you know not to meddle,” Enzo shrugged.

I paused and glared at him as if he was so innocent.

“And what about you?” I huffed, folding my arms across my chest. “You're supposed to be her best friend. How did you not know she enjoyed beaches and picnics? You told me she hated bugs and being outside. You agreed that she would want elegancy.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I guess she is a gamma,” Enzo shrugged. “So maybe I was wrong about that. She's always on the road with the gammas nowadays so it's clear she’s changed a lot.”

"So, what now?” I asked as we continued to walk. “We had so much planned and most of it was already paid for. We can't cancel the events.”

Enzo was quiet for a moment longer and we finally got to hard land where I could put my shoes back on.

“Let's just do it,” Enzo finally shrugged. “We can do the events in their place.”

I almost laughed.

"What?" I asked, raising my brows. “It's all very romantic activities. A sunset carriage ride around Monstro’s famous attractions. A live show in the Monstro theatre. A late-night beach party and bonfire. Those are date activities.”

Enzo rolled his eyes.

“Yes. But I'm not sure what else to do when it's obvious they have no interest in the activities we planned.”

“I thought we agreed that we were going to keep our relationship platonic,” I said, keeping my eyes locked on his. “We can't take this relationship back home and you know this.”

“I didn't say we had to pursue a relationship. But maybe having one last night together wouldn't be that bad,” Enzo said, and I could tell from his face just how serious he was. “Then again, if you don't want to, that's fine too. I'll call and cancel. Maybe I can get some of the money back,” he turned to walk away but I grabbed his arm before I could think of what to say.

"Wait no,” I said quickly, causing him to turn and raise his brows at me. “Yes, let's do it. Let's enjoy the rest of the date.”
