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.

"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?".NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

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?
