My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 50

Holding my phone in my hand I started to walk down the street. I seen him with a beer so surely he wasn’t driving? The beach wasn’t far from where we lived so I knew I only had a short distance to walk.

I was glad I put my hat and scarf on tonight. It was colder than it had ever been. I could see him walking towards me, the butterflies in my stomach going wild.

“Princess”. He smirked as he reached me. “I thought you weren’t coming?”.

“I wasn’t”. I shrugged. I was getting good at playing the whole keeping it cool or at least I thought I was. He didn’t need to know how I was really feeling. I still couldn’t explain how I felt towards him. It was confusing as hell. Something I still didn’t understand.

As we reached the beach I stared in awe. They had a bonfire lit, music was playing and drinks were flowing. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, the vibe was good.

Feeling him press up against me I froze. Settling his hand against my hip I swallowed the lump that appeared in the back of my throat. I couldn’t breath.

“Relax Leah”. His sweet breath tickled against my ear causing me to shiver. I couldn’t relax with him touching me.

“I’m going to find Alanna”. Stepping forward I had to put a little distance between us. “See you later”. I could see Alanna and Lacey sitting on beach chairs around the fire.

I was shaking.

“Hey girl”. Alanna passed me a beer which I gladly took. Sitting beside her I smiled hoping she couldn’t hear how fast my heart was beating. “I’m glad you decided to come out. What changed your mind?”. She asked.

“It’s Friday night”. I shrugged. “I was bored sitting in by myself”.

“That the only reason?”. She smirked.

Rolling my eyes I brought the beer bottle to my lips. I wasn’t even going to ask her what she meant by that. “This reminds me of back home”. I smiled. The set up was basically the same. I used to love going to the beach on a Friday night. It was the highlight of my weekend.

“I’m glad”. She grinned.

“Okay ladies”. Jack yelled. “Who’s up for a little spin the bottle?”. He grinned. Everyone started to crowd around the fire. Spin the bottle? Okay we didn’t do that back home but I was intrigued to see what happens.

“I hate this game”. Lacey groaned.

“What to you have to do?”. I asked.

“If the bottle lands on you Jack will ask you truth or dare and you pick one”. Alanna smiled. “It’s a little bit of fun that no one takes seriously”.

Truth or dare?

“First up”. Jack smirked as he spun the bottle and of course it landed on me. I could feel them all staring. “Okay Leah. Truth or dare?”.

I wasn’t picking dare for my first turn. God knows what he’d make me do.

“Truth”. I smiled taking a sip of my beer. I wasn’t prepared for what he was going to ask not when everyone was staring at me.

“Truth hm. Have you ever cheated on anyone?”.

What sort of question was that? I could feel Jakes eyes burning a hole through my face.

“No I haven’t”. I wasn’t that kind of girl. “If you want to cheat while you’re in a relationship then don’t be in a relationship”. It was that simple.

“Yeah he looks like he’s not interested”. If he wasn’t interested he wouldn’t let her touch him. I don’t see why people can’t just be honest.

“He’s really not”.

“Nothing to do with me”. Getting to my feet I grabbed my bag. I needed to find something to eat. I couldn’t help myself, glancing at Jake one more time I watched as he grabbed a hold of Jessica’s hand and shoved her off. Words were exchanged and she stormed off. He didn’t look happy. As his gaze met mine I looked away.

“Told you he wasn’t interested”. Alanna smirked.

Maybe he wasn’t but I still wasn’t convinced.

“You want another drink?”. She asked. “Oh I love this song”. As the music got louder she danced her way into the crowd of people that had formed. Everyone was having a good time.

“Not feeling it?”. Jumping slightly I turned around. He needed to stop doing that. Smirking he slid his arm around my shoulder. “You wanna get out of here?”. He asked.

“And go where?” I asked shrugging off his arm.

“We could grab some food?”.

I never turned down food and I wasn’t about to start. Besides I had hardly eaten anything today.

“Okay just let me text my gran first”. Digging my hand around in my bag I stopped when I remembered he had my phone.

“Here”. He grinned.
