Trapped with the Alpha

Derrick never knew when to play and when to joke; he was always joking with everything including his love life.

” Really, should I pick up the phone and call Sophie that her man is slutting around with other women” Audrey threatened picking up his phone to call Sophie when Derrick pushed it down , giving a signal that if he does it he was going to be dead meat by the end of the day.

Audrey immediately dropped his phone and stayed calm when another thought popped into his head. ” Do you know the person who invited me for this game is a Mexican and he reminds me so much of Nanny Maria, the way she talks, his looks, his way of mannerism I don’t know maybe they are all Latinos so I expect them to behave in a certain manner” Audrey said

No, just because he is Mexican does not mean he is nanny Maria’s son, that is just a hasty generalization, all Latinos don’t look like you it is your head messing with you” Derrick told him

His brother was right this time but he just had that gut feeling that the guy he saw would be related to Nanny Maria one way or the other if not his son, maybe her nephew or something , but she never really mentioned having a nephew to them so he dropped the matter.

” But don’t you think we should help nanny Maria look for her son, you know if it would make her genuinely happy not just with us but with herself” Audrey suggested.

” That is a good idea but where do we start from” , Derrick said he hated being this serious, all he wanted to do was have fun and not think about anything in his life.

” Let us say we start by going to this basketball game” Audrey said smiling at his brother, he knew that was a once in a lifetime thing. Derrick opened his mouth wide open shocked that Audrey could ever suggest they go for a basketball game together, thanks to Nanny Maria, you really do anything for people you love.

” Wait you are really serious about us going to that game, I thought you hated games” Derrick teased.

“You know that this is a once in a lifetime thing, better accept it and stop asking me if I am sure I wanted this” Audrey said, hitting him on the shoulder playfully.

It was at this point that Austin woke up from his sleep, and overheard them discussing about basketball so he chirped in.

“Did you say basketball? ” Audrey said with his mouth drooling all over with spit, they all laughed at home because they never expected him to wake up in such a manner.

” We have a basketball game to go to this evening, you wanna come or you wanna sleep your life away” Derrick teasedCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

” Of course, I would love to come, you very well know that I live for basketballs” Austin said giving Derrick a wink because he knew that they had both had an unfinished basketball matched and he has been looking forward to beat Derrick ever since that time.

Audrey understood what the wink meant but he decided to overlook it and just laughed, the boys then proceeded to go to the nearest store so they could get a sport kit for Audrey as he had known.

“Hey man” Carlos said as he fist bumped Derrick’s hand

” Yeah sure, I did come, I had to come, my brother here forced me to come you know” Audrey said

” Hi, twin bro” Carlos said in a sarcastic tone.

“You really don’t believe we are twins do you?” Derrick said , “anyway I am Derrick” he said further. Carlos just scoffed and introduced himself too. “I am Carlos” he said as he stretched his hand for a handshake for Derrick to receive it.

” Sooo my twin brother is a huge fan of basketball, that is why I brought him here” Audrey said.

Derrick then left with Carlos to talk with him,

” So I heard you are a newbie here in New York,” Carlos said.

“Yeah yeah I got bored of Cleveland, so I decided to come see my brother before I make a decision to go to college.

” I see, you look like a really fun person and I would love to be your friend unlike that jerk” Carlos said and laughed jokingly

Derrick enjoyed it when someone other than himself insulted his brother. It made him feel on top of the world that someone other than himself can see what a jerk his twin brother is.

” You called my brother a twin, I love this already and I love you already” Derrick said and threw him a playful punch.

They stayed for a while watching the game that was being played,

Audrey and Austin also sat in another corner of the court watching as the game unfolded.

“You know, maybe Stephanie coming into your life is worth it after all” Austin said and smiled at his friend.

” What do you mean?” Audrey asked, unsure of what his friend had meant.

” I mean, you see this bond between you and your brother, we both know it would not have been possible without Stephanie’s help, let us say she did not take active part in bringing you guys together but she definitely aided in it, I mean you practically went home because of her, because you met her”Austin explained.

He knew Austin was right and he hated the fact that he was right, he knew that him and Derrick have not totally healed but it was going to get to a stage that they would have to forgive each other and let go of the past

” Shit, Austin you are right, you know thanks to Stephanie in my life, I would not have seen that my brother is an Absolute jerk and likes frustrating my life” Audrey said in a sarcastic tone.

“I see what you did there, you know what I mean but if you like keep playing ignorant”Austin said and smacked his head

They had not stayed for long in the court when he noticed the same raven he saw the last time, he tapped Austin who was beside him to show him what he was seeing but unfortunately for him , Austin was not concentrating on what he was seeing, his mind was elsewhere. He then walked up a bit to meet Derrick, hoping Derrick would notice him too.

“Derrick, do you see that guy over there?” he asked him when he got near him.

Derrick turned his head towards the direction his brother was showing him and he saw the person that was being pointed at.

” Shit that is a raven , what is he doing here?” Derrick asked with his eyes wide open.

” I don’t know, I guess I forgot to tell you, I noticed him earlier in my gym class too, he was staring in my direction” Audrey said.

” When last did you see Stephanie?” his brother asked.

,”I don’t know but what does that have to do with anything?”Audrey asked.
