Mona, myself and I kept on talking with the girls, although I have not a freaking idea on who they were, maybe they were from another clan, however I didn't stop to try and create an avenue for conversation.

Especially when Elijah walked past our eyes, In his tight pants, and Coleman joined, The two eligible Alphas, jumped on into the pool, Lakewood had a pool, and it was reserved for only Coleman and his friends.

I was busy looking at Elijah when Mona noticed how invested I was in staring at her brother's close friend.

"Ivanna, you dropped something,?"

She grabbed my attention, and I fell my head down to the ground, I was busy looking for what I hadn't lost.

"Mona, are you joking with me,?"

I frowned at her when I noticed there wasn't anything of my own that had fallen on the ground.

"What?, Don't look at me, you were drooling over Elijah, and it's beginning to get noticeable,?".

She brought down her head and laughed at my face.

"Don't you dare,!"

I playfully got her to go away, as I went to the bar to get something to drink.

I was there, getting something to drink, when Elijah, who I had been staring at, came also and we both met each other gaze.

"Ivanna," he smiled, and approached me further, My hands were at the bar table, but I felt my legs were about to fall asleep.

"Elijah, what are you doing here,?"

I started the first thing that came to mind, I didn't want to sound desperate, as not to make it obvious that I liked him, which I am quite sure that he already knows.

"I came for drinks, Ivanna,?"

He says, calling the man at the bar.

Elijah ordered five bottles of beer, and the last bottle was a bottle of whiskey...

He grabbed it to leave, however, when he saw the expression on my face while staring at the bottle, he turned and said.

"It's for my friends, and after we have a game, you should come, Please bring your friends,".

Elijah made a suggestion and left with the drinks, almost falling from his hand.

Mona overheard our conversation, and as usual, she pestered me until, I gave in to her demands, and that was to go to the place Elijah and also her annoying brother, just so I could play a game...

Mona and her friends, not mine yet, walked into the poolside, and immediately when Coleman saw us, he stood up and shouted.

"Who asked you guys to come here, it's for men only,?"

He showed us the door, asking us to leave.

I tried to speak on everyone's behalf, nonetheless, I became speechless when Elijah crossed his arms around my shoulder and pushed me ahead.

He asked everyone to sit at the chairs around and feel comfortable, Coleman didn't like what Elijah had done so he left in his anger, I was supposed to be the one who would have left, but thankfully Elijah came and saved me From being humiliated by Coleman.

Asshole!.

Later, I saw Elijah going out from the pool area party was still going on and I was certain he was going to call back his friend, Coleman, who has always been annoying and a piece of work.

After some time Elijah came and he brought his friend back, he offered Coleman a chair before going to get his

There was already a table in front, one of the guys dropped the whiskey bottle and a glass and then went back to sit.

Elijah who had invited us, started the games, by telling us what we needed to do, like the rules and regulations of the game.

A bowl filled with papers was passed to me. Everyone was holding one piece of paper each, I took out my own, and Behind me was Coleman, I passed the bowl to him and he forcefully took the bowl away from my hand, angrily staring at his friend also, I looked as well, and Elijah was at his chair and he was smiling as he contained his friend's furry.

How does Elijah withstand Coleman's foolishness and annoying attitude, Trust me, if I were Elijah, I literally would have put Coleman in his place and for long broken the relationship ..

The game started, and everyone present at their chairs was asked to copy the person written on their paper.

The other girls imitated the people on their papers, Mona, however, was asked to imitate Elijah and a gather, who did a good job, Everyone laughs and I did too, but when it was my turn, I opened my paper only to find out that, I had been asked to imitate Coleman, and failure to do, would result into drinking, which of cause I didn't want that.

The last time, I drank alcohol, I almost forgot where I lived and I ended up sleeping outside the front porch of the apartment, since I couldn't find my keys and mom was a heavy sleeper, it was impossible to get inside that night.

"Ivanna, what does your paper say,?"

Elijah asked me, thereby making everyone turn as they eagerly waited for my response.

I smiled and softly pulled my chair away from being too close to Coleman, I could not bear him jumping on me when I told the truth.

"I was asked to imitate, Coleman,".

I spoke, and I assumed that the one in question would retaliate and as usual get upset, rather he stood up from his chair and permitted me to imitate him.

I stared at Mona, she gave me the go-ahead Elijah had no problem, and seeing it was a game, I scattered my hair a pit, untucked my clothes a bit, and had the perfect imitation of Coleman, amid everyone seated there...

As soon as I finished, they all stared at me in shock, It was like I had done something wrong, but it wasn't as such, however, my performance was too good, and they were all astonished and overwhelmed by my perfect imitation of Coleman.

"Wow! You're a star, Ivanna,".

Mona embraced me and started to shower me with a lot of praise.

"Yes Ivanna, you're too good,".

Elijah laughed at his friend and also complimented me too.

Coleman, however, wasn't pleased, he took out his paper and read out who he was meant to imitate, and to my surprise, my name was mentioned.

"This will be fun,?"

Mona dragged me back to my chair, and we both watched her brother, make fun of me.

"Sir! I'll be leaving now,!!"

Coleman, said in a girly voice, thereby imitating me, Whenever I finished my duties at his dad's house, l went to tell Alpha Nathan, and that was exactly what Coleman was trying to do.

"Hey, I don't sound like this,?"

I fought back, trying to stop Coleman from Continuing, Rather he grabbed my hand and tried to push me back, however with a bit of struggling, my legs slipped, and we both fell into the pool...

"Fuck! What have you done,?".

Coleman angrily slapped the water while trying to shout in my face.

"My fault?, It's yours, how dare you make fun of me,?".

I yell back equally at his face.

Coleman smacked his tongue at me, " I was making fun of you, what about you, you make fun of me, did you forget,?"

He tried to get a hold of me when Elijah jumped into the water and covered me by placing my head on his chest.

"Bro, calm down,"

My head was still on my chest when he spoke to me a fri.d.

I managed to lift my head a bit, then I saw Coleman, he came out of the water and was angrily talking to himself.

Elijah finally pulled away.

"Ivanna, are you okay,?"

His hands gently tucked the edges of my hair.

I smiled, as he smiled back at me.

"I'm fine, thanks," I said.

"You're welcome, come on, let's go,"

He climbed out of the pool and brought forth his hand to help me.

Of course, I was eager to take his help, I sought his help, as he took me out of the cold water.

"Go change, while I do the same,".

He grinned, leaving to get changed into something else.
