The Alpha Chose Me

I quickly dried out my hair before changing into a floral print knee length dress. Once again, I caught myself staring at my reflection in the mirror, my hands lying flat against my stomach.

I closed my eyes took a deep breath and finished off getting ready. If it wasn't his parents coming to dinner, I'd have been in either fresh pjs or a pair of sweats, but I wanted to make a little effort.

I frowned when I heard a knock at the front door.

They were early.

My bedroom door opened; Alanna walked in like she owned the place collapsing onto our bed. The bed I had not long made. I loved her like a sister but sometimes I could throttle her.

“What?” I sighed when I caught her staring.

“Ym here for dinner”. She grinned.

Of course, she was.

“Joking”. She winked. “Can I borrow your black jacket?”.

I had no idea which jacket she was talking about. I had a few black jackets. Short and long.

“Help yourself”. I pointed to my closet. “Where are you going?".

“Drinks with the girls. Theres a cocktail bar in town I've been dying to try. It only opened a few months ago. Plays live music to”.

Right. I didn't like the feeling that rose in my stomach. The feeling of being left out. Pursing my lips, I grabbed my phone off the floor. “You'll find one in there and don't touch my shoes.

“Love you". She yelled as I made my way downstairs,

it shouldn't but I was annoyed. I was annoyed that they were going out and I wasn't. I couldn't drink but I could still go out and have fun. Jake was in the living room a beer in his hand the tv on in the background.

He looked up from his phone.

“Wow babe you look beautiful’,

“Yeah”. I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. “We need to start locking the doors”. I huffed.

I was being petty, but I couldn't help it. I didn’t even get an invite.

“What's wrong?”. He asked.

“Nothing". I closed the fridge door before disappearing into the pantry. I wanted a snack. I opened a new bag of lays and grabbed a bag of Hershey kisses.

Was this how it was going to be from now on? I wasn't going to get invited places because I was pregnant? They were real shitty friends if that was the case.

“Babe”. He stood at the pantry door as I stood in the corner stuffing my face.

“What?".

“You'll ruin your dinner".

“Don't care”. I shrugged.

“Has something happened?”. He asked just as I heard the front door close.

“No”.

“Babe”.

“They're going out without me”. Even saying the words, I felt stupid. If I had been asked, I'd have probably said no anyway but it wasn't the point. I was an emotional mess most days and this wasn't making me feel any better.

“Do you want to go out?”.

“No”. I made a face.

“Then what's the issue?” He frowned.

“They didn't invite me that's the issue and they didn't invite me because 'm pregnant. I'm going to be pregnant for a whole nine months. I feel left out and it's not a nice feeling”.

“I'm sure that's not true Leah”.

“Yeah, then why wasn't I invited?”,

“I don't know baby, but can we get out of the pantry and go into the living room? My parents will be here soon”.

I sat on the couch scrolling through my phone. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net. Visit FindNovel.net to read the complete chapters for free. It wasn't bad enough that I didn't get invited I now had to see pictures plastered all over my Facebook. Turning my phone onto do not disturb I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to focus on the tv.

jakes parents hadn't arrived yet but before they did, I had to try and change my mood. If I glared any harder, 'm sure my face would stay like this.

“Leah?".

“Hm?”

“Baby, are you really that annoyed that you didn't get asked to go out?”.

“Yes, yes I am". I never once took my eyes off the tv. “My friends are out having a good time and I'm". I paused. I had to think about what I was going to say next. “You know what it doesn’t matter I have to pee”.
