The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

As the waitress placed the check on the table I was quick to grab it. I was curious to see how much it all cost. "Don't even think about it". He hissed snatching it right out my hand.

"Hey". I yelled folding my arms across my chest. The waitress appeared minutes later with a card machine. I really wanted to know how much the pasta cost. "All done. I hope you both enjoy the rest of your evening"....

I didn't make any movement to get up. My stomach growled with hungry, I could already feel the heartburn starting because my stomach was empty.

"Jake I'm-... hey no phones remember". Glaring at him I watched as he typed and scrolled.

"Business princess not ex boyfriends". Getting to his feet I leaned over retrieving my own phone and slipping it into my bag.

Tonight was a disaster and fair to say I didn't have as good a tas I thought. Getting to my feet I took the hand he was offering. Not one of us spoke until we were back in the car. "Well that didn't go as planned". As he started the engine I put on my seatbelt.

"I hated that pasta".

"I fucking knew it". Pulling out into the road he turned the raon. "You could have ordered something else". "Not when I didn't know what anything was". I felt a little embarrassed. Jake was high end, he had taste, liked expensive things.

"You could have said something Leah and now I bet you're fucking starving". I noticed his grip tighten on the steering wheel. "I wanted tonight to be fucking perfect". He snapped. "You think I didn't?". I hit back.

"You fucking hated it"....

"You don't need to swear". Turning my attention out the window I crossed my arms over my chest. "And I didn't hate it, it just wasn't my scene".

"Yeah burgers and dirty fries got it".

The rest of the journey hwas quiet. It wasn't until he pulled off the highway and signalled left that I realised what he was up to. Biting back my smile I placed my hand on his knee.

"I appreciate the thought Jake. I loved that you planned tonight but maybe next tmake it low key and not so expensive".

"You deserve the world princess"..

"Maybe". I shrugged.

Placing his hand on top of mine he brought it to his mouth placing a kiss on my knuckles. "Cheeseburger, fries and extra pickle?".

"And a strawberry milkshake". I grinned.

"I won't be long"....

While he was away gettingfood it gavea chance to go through my phone. I had never replied to Tommy and I usually deleted the message straight away but tonight I opened it. 'Hope you're missing;)' Attached to the message was a photo of him and a random girl sucking face. Tommy was shirtless and the girl had next to nothing on.

Did he think that bothered me? Tommy was the furthest thing from my mind. Moving away showedwho he really was. A two timing rat that didn't deserve me. I hate that I couldn't see it sooner. How many times did he cheat? How many people knew he was playing me? Deleting the message I did what I should have done weeks ago. I blocked his number and deleted him from all my social media.

I caught sight of Jake as I put my phone away. The butterflies erupted in my stomach Tommy completely forgotten about.

"No strawberry milkshake babe so I got you a coke instead". Passingthe bag he got in closing the door behind him.

"Thank you". He had no idea how much I appreciated him. I hadn't been playing fair with his past, overreacting over the girls giving him a hard time.

"Don't thankprincess. I need to make sure my girls fed". He smirked grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together. "For tonight Jake".

"It wasn't the best was it". He laughed.

"It wasn't". I laughed. "Better make sure the next ones better". Grinning at him I lifted our hands and kissed his knuckles.

It was just different with him. It was new but it was easy being around him. I could be myself. I felt settled with him.

"How about we end the night with a walk along the beach?". He asked.

"The nights ending?". Chewing my bottom lip I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. I didn't want it to end and when it did I wanted us to be together.

"Doesn't have to babe. How about I take you to mine, we stick a film on and chill out. Sound good?".

"Yeah".

I finished my McDonald's before we got home. I couldn't wait any longer. "I'm stuffed". I groaned rubbing my hand over my stomach.

"That's what I like to see". He grinned.

e.

"Are you going to school tomorrow?". Pulling into his driveway it was weird seeing his house in darkness. I would need to remember and text my gran just to let her know I was okay and staying at Jake's. "I have to". I couldn't miss anymore days. Even if I didn't go to university I still wanted to graduate. I hadn't heard from Ryan either so it would be good to see him.

"I'll pick you up after".

"Okay". Taking off my seatbelt I opened the door and got out. I was glad the rain had finally stopped. e f Entering his house I kicked off my shoes loving the feel of the cold tiles against my feet. Placing his hand on the lower of my back he placed a kiss on the side of my head. "Pick a movie I've just got to sort something".

So I did. I got myself comfy on the sofa and had insidious paused waiting for him to cback. Sparagraphs are incomplete if you are e not reading this on .net.

We didn't need fancy or expensive. "Do you want anything?". He asked.
