Chapter 336: Making Things Up to Police Girl
Alex spent the next few days with Claire, Olivia, and Aisha. Or he did so in between his visits to Tehran, where he made slow but steady progress with Jasmine, and more importantly, gained the approval of her father.
But Alex did not forget his promise to Chun-Hei, and thus when the time came for her next day off, the woman was surprised to find the man waiting for her in her car. The night was young, and Alex wanted to make things up to his favorite police girl, who was a full-blown homicide detective by now.
Chun-Hei was dressed professionally, but this couldn’t stop Alex from being attracted to her as he stepped forward and hugged the woman, promising that this time he would not vanish on her in the middle of their date.
“I’m sorry about last time, Chun-Hei, but I told you I would be back soon enough. I just had a few things to take care of. You understand how it is, right?”
Alex had long since maxed out the woman’s affection for him, and because of this she couldn’t possibly stay mad at him, even if she did rant and rave in the group chat about Aisha and what plans the girl might have for Alex. In the end, she folded like a house of cards as she hugged Alex tightly, perhaps afraid that he would vanish yet again if she dared to let go of him.
“It’s fine… As long as things have been taken care of, then how could I possibly be angry with you?”
This was exactly the answer Alex wanted to hear, but more surprisingly, he had lived up to his promise with the woman, telling her that he had a date plan in mind, one that would allow the two of them to blow off some steam.
“So… You’re free tonight, right? How about we go some place fun, just the two of us? I was thinking we could head to the arcade, or perhaps go bowling? Maybe we could do some laser tag, or possibly some karaoke?”
“Since you offered… I would absolutely love to hear you sing! Let’s go to Karaoke!”
Alex nodded his head in agreement with this sentiment, though he was quick to assure the woman that they would grab a proper bite to eat afterward.
“Sounds good to me. Just be warned, I tend to get absolutely shitfaced at these kinds of things, so we are definitely going to need to grab some grub afterward to sober up. After all, I owe you a proper dining experience, definitely not fast food!”
Chun-Hei couldn’t help but agree with this sentiment, and thus she decided to be the designated driver for the night, going with Alex to the nearest karaoke joint. Where the two of them reserved a room for themselves.
Like the last time he had gone out to karaoke, Alex’s taste in music was, shall we say, surprising to Chun-Hei? She was fond of K-Pop, but Alex was not. And because of this, when she thrust the phone in his face so that he could choose a song on the app, he chose a staple of early 2000s American culture. Which just so happened to be the song he walked out to during his last fight.
Naturally Chun-Hei didn’t know the song, hell she barely spoke English. So Alex was forced to both perform the parts of the song that were rap, and also sing along with the chorus. Unlike the last time he went out to Karaoke, he seemed to enjoy the experience much more this time around.
Perhaps because he was already halfway through a bottle of vodka, even if only one song had been played before him. But regardless, he sang the song to perfection. After all, his Siren’s Call ability wasn’t just a matter of attracting bitches, it could also be used to sing to an unnatural degree.
Though he didn’t realize it, Chun-Hei was recording him. She sent the song to the group chat for the other women to admire. But of course she didn’t even think of how Sakura might misbehave with this video.
Sakura instantly posted the video of Alex singing to the internet, which lit it aflame. After all, it was a very difficult song to perform, and the lead singer was no longer a part of this world. But the “cover” that Alex performed at Karaoke instantly became a huge hit, especially when people realized that it was Alex “Baba Yaga” Smith, Professional UFC fighter, and a member of the previously believed to be extinct Tudor Dynasty.
And though Alex wasn’t one who cared what the public thought, that wasn’t his biggest problem. The fact of the matter was that at this moment, the Iranian government believed he was sleeping in his room.
But in reality, he was in South Korea singing karaoke with one of his women. This would, of course, cause some difficulty for Alex when he returned to Tehran. But that was a worry for another time. On this day, Alex decided to enjoy his time with his woman.
And thus the two of them spent several hours singing, where Alex got dreadfully drunk, before going to a local restaurant which Chun-Hei enjoyed where Alex drank enough coffee to sober himself up enough to perform the deed which Chun-Hei had been craving, especially after Alex dipped on her the last time.
Of course, their meal would go on for well over an hour before the two of them went back to the estate that Alex had purchased for Chun-Hei. But that was a story for another time.
