Good thing last week I went shopping with my best friend, Ling Xiaoyu. If I did not, I wouldn't have anything to wear for Mr. Chaolan's event tonight. Lars texted me saying he will be by in an hour to come pick my up. I don't think I ever told him that I finally have my own liscence now. I guess we still have more catching up to do. Although I still find it flattering he offered to give me a ride.
After I texted him back confirming I saw his message, I hopped in the shower and then got dressed. I wore a black fitted and strapless dress. It also had white rinestone sparkles on the chest area. Ling Xiaoyu begged me to get it last week.
"Come on. Oh my goodness, that's looks so good on you!" She squealed as I tried it on for her at the store.
"Are you sure, Xiao? It seems tight fitting." I started in the mirror turning. I examined how it hugged my hips and chest.
"That's the point, Alisa! Who doesn't want a small mix of classy yet sexy?" She giggled.
"Okay I'll get it." I laughed too.
When I put it on again, it still had that new clothes smell to it. I guess Xiaoyu was right, It does look pretty nice.
I heard my phone vibrate once more. I picked it up and examined. Lars was now waiting outside. I jumped up and grabbed my black purse to match. My father was not even home for me to tell goodbye. He was at the lab at the moment.
I walked outside and saw Lars sit in his black SUV. Everytime I see that car, it instantly brings back memories. Good and sometimes bad.
I opened the door and sat in. Lars turned and looked at me.
"Wow." His eyes lit at he looked at me. "You look.. Really nice."
I smiled at his kind words. "Thank you. So do you." I responded.
He put the car in drive and began to pull off.
"So how are you feeling? You're not nervouse are you?" He chuckled.
Actaully I kind of was. As I said before, I've never been to a party before. But I do feel a lot better in comparison to when Lars first asked me."
"Just a little. But I am okay." I smiled.
"Nothing to be worried about. Not when I'm around. I've been to quite a bit of parties so I know what to expect."
"Can you tell me?"
Well for starters, watch your drink. Don't leave it unattended. Either take it with you or throw it away once you get back. But in this case, if you have to go to the bathroom or something, I'll watch it for you."
I nodded. "Oh thank you." I was already aware about being cautious of a drink as my father told me about that once. But I'm glad he was so caring.
We finally made it infront of Mr. Lee's home. My eye's lit up like a christmas tree and my mouth hung open. My sensors felt like they were about to exploded with all this excitement building up.
"Yeah. Lee sure knows how to live huh, Alisa?" Lars said calmly.
"Oh my! This is is home?! It's so big!" I said with excitement. I quickly rushed the car door open.
"Alisa wait for me. This place is too big!" Lars said catching up with me. He was panting because I have ran a significant length from the car to the manison.
Lee suddenly opened the door with a huge grin of his face. "Ahh Lars and Alisa! My favorite guests of the hour! How happy I am you two came."
I could hear the sounds of people laughing and the music playing coming from the open door. Once Lars finally made it to me, he held my hand to prevent me from going any furture. It felt so warm.
"Well. Glad you invited us. We'll be inside in a moment." Lars said to Lee. He nodded him head and retreated back inside.
"Alisa what did I just say in the car?" Lars said seriously. I blushed.
"I'm sorry. I guess I got a little estatic. Mr. Lee's home is so beautiful! Can't you agree?" I looked up admiring the sight.
"I agree but try not to run away from me like that."
I nodded to show I understood. I can't help but smile everytime Lars gets serious. I'm unsure why.
Me and Lars made our way inside. I smiled widely. There was a live DJ, People doing circus tricks, Swimming Pools, Bars, everything. I looked over at Mr. Lee. He was sitting on a long white leather couch along with some female companions he had around his arm. The seem to be about six of them. Three on each side of him.
"Lars!" He wave his hand signaling us to come over. We complied and walked over to him. The women huddled around him giggled.
"I was hoping you guys would come." He suddenly removed his shades he was wearing. "My, my, Alisa don't you look cute. And I see Lars had noticed too." He said pointing to our hands. They were still locked together. I suddenly turned red.
We both didn't say anything. Lee chuckled, "Oh I kid you guys. I kid. Come on sit down and keep me and my friends company."
Lars did a weird chuckle as we both sat. After a few seconds a waiter came over with a tray of tall wine glasses.
"Any drinks you all, sir?" She asked.
"Feel free to grab one, Lars and Alisa. A little sip won't kill you now." He laughed with cued the girls to giggle once more.
"No thanks. I don't Alisa have too much fun." Lars leaned to Lee.
"Oh Lars no need to treat Alisa like such a child. She's a grown woman. Have some fun." Lee turned to me. "Would like a drink, Alisa?"
I shrugged awkwardly. I don't know if Lars wanted me to say yes or no. But I didn't say anything I just turned to look at him. Lee did a hand signal to the waitress. She handed me the delicate glass with bubbly liquid.
Lars grabbed on too and took a small sip. I looked at him and did the same. I tasted the bitter drink as it hit my tounge. It was so strong and kind of stung my throat but It wasn't serious. I cleared my throat.
"Are you feeling okay?" Lars asked.
I nodded. I felt good actually.
"See Lars. No need to baby the girl." Lars rolled his eyes and sat back with his drink.
"Oh Lars, I also invited someone that you may know. Do you remember a woman that was also a part of the Tekken Force?"
Lars shrugged. "There's a lot of females in the Tekken force."
"Do you remember one named Carla in particular? I invited her."
"Oh her. She wasn't in the rebel force with me so maybe that's why I didn't remember her." He said putting the now empty glass down.
I suddenly spoke up. "If she wasn't in the Rebel force like you, doesn't that mean you are enemies?"
"I wouldn't think so. All that Rebel Force stuff is behind me."
Lee looked around the room. He spotted the person he was looking for. He made another hand guesture. Suddenly a tall woman appeard from the crowd of people she was around.
"Oh hello Mr. Chaolan." She beemed. I couldn't help but notied how gorgous she was. She had strawberry blonde hair and had a curvy figure. I didn't understand how I have not seen here when fighting side by side with Lars. She was so.. Pretty.
"This is my friend Carla. We met shortly after you two finished your mission together."
Lars jump up from his seat. "Right, now I remember you. Oh wow it's been so long!"
"I remember you aswell. You ran that Rebel Force." She smiled at him slyly.
Lars chuckled. "Yeah well, that's all behind me. I'm just enjoying a normal life. With my friend, Alisa here."
She turned to me as I was still sitting on the couch. She extended her hand for me to shake it.
"It's nice you meet you.. Alisha?" She smiled. I got up and grabbed her hand.
"Alisa." I corrected. "It is an honor." We both shook hands.
"Oh I'm sorry." She smiled and looked at me. "Oh your dress is so cute. I like that!"
"Thank you so much." We finally let go of eachother. She smiled at me once more and turned to Lars.
"So awesome I get to see you again. Hey, do you wanna go sit at the bar with me and my friends over there?" She asked him.
Lars suddenly looked over at me. He shook his slowly. "I just can't leave Alisa. And I doubt she'd want to sit at a bar!"
It's true. I did not. I stood up from the chair. "No, no, no. It is obvious you two have some catching up to do. I'll sit here. I am fine." I smiled.
"Alisa seriously, If you want me to stay, I can."
"And I'm serious too. Go ahead, Lars." I said politely.
He looked over at Carla and then back at me. He sighed.
"Okay. But remember what I told you in the car. And please don't wander off too far." He whispered to me.
I nodded to show my understanding.
"I won't be long." He promised. Carla walked ahead of him and he followed.
I sat back down on the leather seat.
Lee stopped talking to his girls and looked over at me. "Why didn't you go?" He asked.
I shrugged. "A bar doesn't seem like something I'd enjoy." I said toying with the bottom of my dress.
"Oh Alisa sometimes you have to live a little. Break out of your shell and just be a butterfly! You have the adorable face for it."
I giggled. "Thank you. Your compliment is appreciated."
Even though me and Lars have been here for almost an hour, I feel like this is just the beginning.
I couldn't help but constantly watch over Lars and Carla. They were talking and laughing. She had her legs crossed and her arm rested on the bar table. Everytime Lars would say something, she'd laugh and put her small danity hands on his lap.
Sitting here watching them somehow made me finish my drink. I suppose I was getting bored. The more I drank it, the more it made me forget. But I liked it. I took the last sip and sat it down on the coffee table. The same waitress came up to me and offered another drink to me. This was the third one now. I grabbed the glass again and within seconds the glass met my lips.
Lee looked over in amazement as if he was watching something on the discovery channel. I gulped the drink down without any pauses. After a few more seconds, I sat the glass down.
"Guhh..Alisa?" I looked over at him. "I-I uh think you've had enough. You're starting to drink that faster than Kazuya falling down a cliff.
I put my hands up. I suddenly felt so loose. I'm actually slouching. I do not normally do that but right now it felt so normal and good.
"I'm sorry. But didn't you say I could be a butterfly? I want to enjoy myself and I am indeed enjoying myself. Lars is over there talking to his um..His soilder partner girl and I'm enjoying a bubbly for the first time. We are all happy." I grabbed another glass from the waitress.
Mr. Lee looked up at the waitress. "Please don't come back to her. She's done." He said pointing at me. The waitress nodded and walked away.
I managed to take a half of sip of the drink before Lee depreived it from my hands. "No more, Alisa."
I whinned. "Sorry but, you are kind of freaking me out. And I'm pretty sure if Lars was here he'd say stop."
I sighed in disappointment. The drink was awful but I liked it. I could not understand.
"Alisa I know I said you could do whatever but let me try to rephrase, just learn to have your limits. Lars really cares about you and I hate to see him get upset if something were too..."
My ears suddenly blocked out what Mr. Lee was saying. My eyes became heavy and drowsy and my body felt light. As if I were floating on a cloud. Were my sensors having difficulties? I laid back into the couch and closed my eyes until I saw nothing but black.
Funfact in case you did not catch on: "Carla" is suppose to be the sexy female Tekken Force solider that was suppose to be in TR. Since we never found out her name, I decided to give her one. I hope you enjoyed.
