My Hot Alpha

Oh god he was coming over for coffee. I needed to stop acting like an idiot. It was just coffee. He wasn't going to care that I was in pjs and his hoody. Maybe I should change. No! I was overthinking once again.

Concentrating back on my school work I was reading over what I had so far when the door went. It wasn't 12 o'clock yet.

He was early.

Placing my laptop to the side of me I got up, my reflection from the mirror catching my attention. I looked horrible. I hadn't even brushed my hair just threw it into a messy bun on the top of my head. The door went again.

Answer the door idiot!

Taking a deep breath I unlocked the door and pulled it open. It wasn't Jake. My stomach dropped.

"Delivery for a Leah Wilson?".

I hadn't ordered anything.

"Sigh here please". He smiled.

Who was this from?

Closing the door behind me I sat the parcel on the couch. I didn't know anyone good enough around here to send me a package. Grabbing a knife from the kitchen I cut the seal and pulled the lid off. It was black roses.

Taking out the card I felt the tightness in my chest. They were from Tommy.

'You won't return my calls, you won't answer my text. Did I mean nothing to you? Please let me know you're safe. I love you Leah'

Why did I have a bad feeling about this?

"Nice flowers".

Jumping slightly I turned around slipping the note in my pocket. "Jesus shit Jake you scared me. Have you never heard of knocking?". Putting the lid back on the box I placed them on the floor. "I did knock princess but you never answered".

"So you just decided to walk in?". Making a face I took a seat on one of the chairs. Only then did I notice he was holding a bag and 2 coffee cups. "Did you bring me something sweet?". I grinned. "No". He smirked. "Sweets will rot your teeth. Go get 2 plates".

"What have you got in that bag?". I must admit it smelled delicious. "Please tell me you at least brought me a muffin". He shook his head. "A cookie then?".

"Plates princess".

"Stop calling me that". Grabbing two plates from the kitchen I handed them to him and watched as he dished up wherever he had bought.

"A bagel?". I frowned. Not that I didn't like them I just thought he'd have brought goods. As in chocolate goods.

"Just wait until you taste it". He winked passing me a plate.

It was like heaven.

He made it sweet. My eyes closed as I savoured the strawberries and chocolate hazelnut together. Oh and there was a crunch.

"That's so good". I groaned taking another bite. Who would have thought to put that on a bagel? I always put savoury things on mine. Taking a seat I caught him staring. "Stop staring at me". Finishing the last of my bagel I took the coffee from him. "Thank you for that". I smiled.

"Anytime princess".

Again with the princess.

"I didn't know you wore glasses". He said.

I must have forgotten they were still on my face. "I should be wearing them more than what I do". I sighed. "I only really wear them when my eyes get sore".

"So why'd you ask me out for coffee?". He asked.

I knew that was coming. What was I meant to say? I maybe like you?

"I thought it was a good idea, we can maybe get to know each other better". I was cringing on the inside. How lame did I sound.

"Did Alanna put you up to this?".

I started to laugh.

"I fucking knew it". He snapped. "I'm not playing games Leah". Getting to his feet he stared right through me. "Wait till I f*****g see her".

This had gone from zero to one hundred in a matter of seconds.

"I'm not playing games. She didn't put me up to anything. I was laughing because I asked her the same question last night when she came over". His mood could change in a matter of seconds. Hot and cold just like that and I wasn't sure if I could deal with that. "She was here last night?". His teeth were clenched. He needed to calm down. I didn't like the anger, I didn't like the aggression.

"Yes". I sighed. "She came to make sure I was okay after you told her I was having a rough time".

"And?".

"She said that I should get to know you". I went with that because it was better than saying give him a chance. I didn't want him to take all of this the wrong way. We were just getting to know each other or so I thought. "She did?". He frowned.

"Yes. So that's why I plucked up the courage and asked you to go for coffee".

Sitting back down he ran a hand over his face. "I get hot headed at times princess. I've got a temper".

"You think?". I huffed.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
