My Hot Alpha

"I'm getting there". It really wasn't that bad, yes I still missed Florida but I was getting used to it here. Day three and it was slightly better

"Everyone treating you okay?". She asked. I had a feeling she also knew I was struggling a little. "Alanna was saying some of the girls around here haven't been that welcoming". Alanna needed to learn to keep her mouth shut.

"Sorry to pry honey. Alanna has a big heart she just wants to make sure you're okay".

"Girls can be mean". I shrugged. I wasn't going to let it bother me anymore or at least I was going to try. It wasn't worth it and if I wanted to hang out with Jake then I would.

"They can be little bitches". Charlotte stated. "But you're a strong one I can tell". She winked just as Alanna finally graced us with her presence. "Alanna set the table your dad and brother will be home soon". My heart rate spiked a little. I was excited to see him.

"I'll help". I offered.

"No honey you sit there I need to talk to you. Alanna". She gave her a knowing look. "Set the table".

She wanted to talk to me? Talk to me about what? I was nervous, worried even.

"Do you like my son Leah?".

I didn't know what to say. This was his mom, she came across as the mother that would kill for her family. She was fierce.

"We had coffee". I blurted out. My nerves were getting the better of me. I was so lame, I felt put on the spot. "He took me for a burger". I added. Was it getting hot in here?

"So you've been hanging out together?".

"Yes". Taking a sip of my water I wiped my forehead. I was sweating. I had no idea what she was trying to do.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"So you must like him then?".

"Mom".

He was here.

"What, I'm just making conversation". She grinned. "Go get cleaned up for dinner it'll be ready soon".

"Could I use your bathroom?". I asked needing a few minutes to myself.

"Of course you can honey, Jake show Leah where the bathroom is". Following behind him I couldn't stop my heart from racing.

"I'll take you up stairs. My mom doesn't like anyone using the down stairs one". Rolling his eyes he stopped at the top of the stairs. "Straight ahead I'm just going to get freshened up".

Closing the door behind me I took a deep breath. Turning on the cold tap I splashed some water on my face in hopes I'd calm down. His mom really did put me on the spot. Rubbing some cold water on the back of my neck I pulled the lid down on the toilet and took

a seat.

I didn't want them to get the wrong idea about Jake and I. I liked him, he seemed like a nice guy but I wasn't going to rush into something I wasn't ready for. Today was fun I enjoyed his company but it was just coffee.

"Leah?". Alanna knocked on the door. "Are you okay?". Flushing the toilet I washed my hands. "Just coming". It was just dinner, I'm sure I could get through it.

"I heard about my mom" She whispered. "I'm sorry, when she got wind about Jake taking you for a burger she lost it. She's just excited. Jakes never had a girlfriend".

Wait what? How was that possible? He was beautiful.

"Never?". I asked.

"Nope he just f***s them and chucks them". She laughed. That screamed player to me and I wasn't about to become his flavour of the month. "But they all seem to become obsessed with him. I swear he brings a girl home and we have to force them to leave". She wasn't doing a good job at selling him to me.

"Girls dinner is ready". Charlotte was plating up some food. Jake was already sat at the table his head buried in his phone. I took the seat furthest away from him. I couldn't be angry at him for bringing girls home and I wasn't I just didn't think he was that type of guy. Then again what did I expect when he looked like a f*****g model.

"I hope roast chicken is okay for you Leah". Charlotte placed a plate fit for a king into from of me. Did Alanna also tell her mom I liked to eat. I couldn't wait to dig in. "Looks delicious thank you". I didn't know where to start. I had a mountain of food on my plate.

"How is your gran liking the new kitchen Leah?". Jacob asked.

"She loves it we both do. You've done a great job and I can't wait to see what it's like when it's finished". It was more modern now and my gran went with the colour blue. "I'm glad". He grinned. "We're hoping to get it finished tomorrow. I'm just waiting for a few more parts to come".

"She mentioned that". I smiled. "Thank you for helping us out I appreciate it". We wouldn't have been able to afford it if he wasn't doing it for free.

"It's no problem at all. We're happy to help and once we finish the kitchen we'll start on the bathroom. I think your gran has that all picked out too".

I didn't know they were doing our bathroom too. "I'm sure she has". Taking a sip of my water I started to dig into my dinner before it got cold.

"Jake you know my rule". His mom sighed shaking her head. "Phone away when we're at the table and that goes for you too Alanna". Alanna slipped hers into her pocket but Jake was still glued to his. I wonder what he was looking at. It was vibrating every few minutes. "Jacob". She snapped.

Sighing he put his phone away and began to eat his dinner. I was feeling a little uncomfortable. He hadn't said two words since I sat down. Something was obviously on his mind.

My phone started to ring. It could only be one person. "Sorry I have to take this it's my gran". Getting up from the table I made my way outside.

"Hey gran".

"Hi honey where are you?". I knew she was driving, I could hear the interference in the back ground. She had been out all day.

"I'm having dinner with Alanna and her family. Are you okay?".

"Oh that sounds lovely. I'm okay Leah I'm on my way home just now. Will you be home before I get there I'm half an hour out".

"Not sure don't think so but I won't be late". I wasn't going to rush my dinner away. I didn't want to be rude.

"Okay honey well I'll see you when you get in. I love you sweetheart".

"I love".. the line went dead. "You too". I sighed. I think we needed to have a conversation. I wanted to know where she was going all the time. She didn't do this back home so why was she doing it now. Looking up into the sky I noticed it was a full moon tonight, the sky was so clear. Heading back inside I noticed Jake and his dad were no longer at the table.
