The Alpha Chose Me

"I had to get a new screen fitted but it still works. You may need to charge it up though".

Why was he just telling me this now? I wasn't a person who was obsessed with my phone, but I still lik shrugged.

I wasn't going to make a big deal out of him not telling me he had my phone.

"Where are you going for breakfast?".

"Not sure". I frowned. "We didn't really pick a place. Could I use your phone to call her?".

"Sure, do you want some tea?".

"Coffee please". I took the phone from him and dialed her number.

"You never call me unless I've done something wrong". She answered with.

Oh.

I stifled my laugh. "It's me". I spoke.

"Oh". She laughed. "Are we still going out to breakfast?".

"That's why I'm calling. Where are we going?".

"I really want fries with cheese and smothered in gravy".

"So, to the diner then?".Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Let's do it. Do you need me to pick you up?". She asked.

I looked at Jake, he shrugged. "Yes, pick me up and we can all go together. Do you know if Lana is up?"

"She texted me this morning. She's been up all night; thinks she has a sickness bug".

"And Lacey?". I chewed the inside of my cheek.

"She's going to give it a miss. This pregnancy is kicking her a*s".

"Oh, okay". My eyes landed on Jake. "Well, I'm ready so just drop by whenever".

"Okay gal I'll see you soon".

"I told you". Handing him back his phone I took the mug of coffee and sat at the table. "She's avoiding me".

"Or her pregnancy really is kicking her ass. Lacey' a sweetheart Leah. She wouldn't avoid you".

"Oh, she's a sweetheart, is she?".

"Why are you getting so worked up over this?".

"I don't know". I sighed. "I just don't want her to think she can't come around us because she's pregnant".

"I'm sure that's not the case but if it's bothering you that much then why not call her?".

ave it with me. Many sentences in this chapter have been removed because you are not reading them on "I just assumed it was broken". I

I shook my head. I didn't want to feel like I was imposing on her in case she really was avoiding us. I would wait it out and see.

"Or you could talk to Jack".

"Babe". He made a face.

"Fine". I sighed.

"Look, stop stressing over it". He placed a kiss on my forehead. "I'm going to go for a run and check in with my dad. Don't forget to lift your phone okay".

"Okay".

Jake was only gone five minutes before Alanna turned up. Tooting her horn like a crazy person letting me know she was outside. I grabbed my purse and keys and went to get my phone before heading outside to meet her. "Oh, you smell nice". She grinned as I clipped my seatbelt into place.

"Thanks". I smiled.

"So, you know how my mom likes to throw family dinners?".

"Yeah". I frowned.

"Well, she wants to throw one tomorrow night because Carter and I came home".

"What did she say when you turned up?".

"She was frantic, thought I had left Carter". She rolled her eyes. "She yelled, gave me some advice. Stop reading the wrong and incomplete storyline, has the correct and complete book. Didn't give me the chance to tell her Carter was coming back today until she gave me the whole mate chat".

"Yeah, that sounds about right". I grinned. "Speaking of Carter what time is he getting here?".

"Around lunchtime. He's already on the road".

"You two are okay though?".

"We're great". She smiled pulling into the parking lot of the diner. "We're more than great". "Good".

"You and my brother are okay right?".

"We're good". I smiled walking across the parking lot. "We'll always be good".
