My Hot Alpha

I didn't want to drive out of town in case they shut the roads because of the weather. The rain hadn't stopped if anything it got heavier. I texted Ryan to see if he wanted to meet at the coffee shop instead.

It was cute, cosy and near home if the weather was to get worse. I grabbed my purse and keys and made my way out to my car. I didn't wait for Ryan's reply instead I drove to the coffee shop.

If he showed up, then great if not I'd still enjoy a coffee and muffin. Besides, it was good to get out of the house for a bit. Staying cooped up with nothing to do would eventually drive me mad.

I had to stop putting it off and enrol myself into college. I wanted to go, wanted to get my degree and yet I've had months to enrol, but haven't.

Was I kidding myself?

I would be in Yale right now if I wasn't here.

I frowned.

Pulling up outside the coffee shop I cut my engine and quickly made my way inside. It was relatively quiet, but I expected as much with the rain. Taking off my jacket I hung it on the back of the chair before taking my phone from my purse. Still no reply from Ryan.

"Hey sweetie you ready to order?".

"Just a tea please with extra milk". I smiled at the server. I would hold off on the muffin just now.

...

Two cups of tea and a muffin later he decided to show up.

"I'm sorry my car wouldn't start and then when it finally did, I got halfway here and realised I didn't have my wallet so had to go all the way back. I'm really sorry". "It's okay". I smiled.

"The weathers wild". He pulled out the chair opposite me and took a seat. "Wouldn't be surprised if they shut the roads again".

"It's only a little bit of rain". It wasn't as bad as it was the last time. We didn't have the high winds and we still had power.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"It's meant to get worse". He spoke.

"Are we really going to sit and talk about the weather?". I sighed. "I haven't seen you in what feels like forever, and you want to talk about the rain?".

A laugh fell from his lips. "I'm going to miss you Leah".

"Same". Our friendship was special, and I was going to miss him dearly. Other than Alanna he was one of the first friends I made here, and he made me feel welcome from day one. "Have you decided what you're going to be doing?". He asked.

"Yeah". I nodded. "I'm enrolling in college tomorrow".

"I still can't believe you gave up Yale and for Jake".

"Hey". I frowned.

"Sorry I shouldn't have said that it's just Yale is a pretty big deal. He must be special".

If only he knew the truth. Yes, of course Jake was special he was my everything, we were forever this wasn't a stupid relationship that was only going to last a few months. "I can study anywhere". I shrugged.

"But Yale".

"It's just a school". I smiled. "And I'm happy right here".

"You sure staying here is what you really want?". He asked.

I frowned. I wasn't sure where he was going with asking me this. Did he have a point to make? Was there something he wasn't telling me?
