My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 287

The house was quiet.

I didn’t wake till around lunch time. The smell of crispy bacon making my mouth water. I was starving. Pushing the covers off I grabbed my dressing gown and pulled it around my shoulders.

I didn’t feel any better. I wasn’t sick just sleepy. My eyes still heavy a yawn escaped my mouh as I headed downstairs. He was cooking and when I say cooking I mean the kitchen was a mess.

Pots, pans, plates everywhere.

He was stood at the cooker scrambling eggs. I couldn’t hide my smile. I stood in the door frame just watching. He didn’t cook often so it was nice to see.

“I made you tea”. He nodded towards the table. “I’m almost done with this”.

Tea?

I wanted coffee and lots of it.

I passed by the tea and went for a fresh mug.

“Leah”.

“Since when do I drink tea?”. I asked.

“Since you started carrying my kid”.

The mug slipped from my fingers. Carrying his kid? I wasn’t pregnant. I had my period. I was literally bleeding right now.

“You don’t remember this morning, do you?”.

I wasn’t listening to him. I was too focused on why he thought I was having a baby. I think I would know if I was pregnant. I know my own body.

“Sit, eat something”.

“I’m not pregnant and I would really like some coffee”. I grabbed the mug from the floor and did just that. He didn’t stop me.

“Take the test”.

The test?

“You bought a pregnancy test?”. I frowned.

“So, you don’t remember what I said?”. He sighed.

“I was sleeping”. I took a sip of my coffee and sat at the table. “But I know I’m not pregnant. Why would you think I was?”.

“Your scents changed”.

“Can you tell Lacey to come in”. I went about fixing myself a plate.

Bacon, eggs, waffles. You name it Jake had cooked it. Or bought it. I didn’t care It all looked delicious. I poured myself some juice before sitting at the table.

“You change your mind more than the weather”. She grinned taking a seat.

Someone was in a better mood. I wonder if her and Jack had kissed and made up. Maybe she was going to accept my offer and take the house.

“I didn’t want the food to go to waste. Help yourself”.

“I’m good”. She smiled. “I wanted to apologise”.

I frowned. “Apologise?”.

“Yes, for rushing out yesterday. If the offer is still there, then I would like to move into your house”.

“It’s yours”. I grinned.

“But we want to pay rent. We can’t live in it for free and Jack wouldn’t allow us to. He’s not big on handouts”.
