My Hot Alpha

I showered and changed into clean pjs. I was more than ready for bed but when I got in and got comfortable, I was wide awake. Jake was already asleep, snoring his head off beside me.

I still didn't have my phone which when I couldn't sleep, I would usually scroll through social media to help so instead I grabbed the remote off the nightstand and turned on the tv. And then I wanted some snacks.

As quietly as I could I slipped out of bed and left the room, making my way to the kitchen. Putting a couple of slices of pizza on a plate, I grabbed some chips from the pantry and headed back to bed. Thankfully, Jake never heard a thing. Poor thing was just as exhausted as I was.

I was halfway through an episode of the vampire diaries, a slice of pizza in my mouth, my hand in the bag of chips when he started to stir.

I froze.

"Babe?".

"Shhh". I whispered.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"Babe, are you eating?".

A laugh fell from my lips as he shifted in the bed and turned so, he was facing me. He caught me red handed. Smirking, he sat up resting his back against the headboard. "You should be sleeping".

I shrugged. "I couldn't so I put the tv on but then I got hungry, so I snuck downstairs for some snacks and here we are". I popped a chip in my mouth and turned my attention back to the tv. "It's late Leah".

"I know". I nodded. "I'm sorry I woke you. Do you want me to sleep in the spare room?".

"I wish I woke sooner. Now I want pizza".

I couldn't hide my grin. "I think we should make this a thing". I spoke passing him the plate with the pizza slices on.

"Midnight snacks with my girl. I could do that". He winked.

"It's way past midnight".

"Which is why you should be sleeping". He leaned forward placing a kiss on my forehead. "I'm going to get more of this". He held up the pizza slice. "Do you want me to make you some tea?". "No, I'm okay". I was starting to feel tired, my eyes growing heavy.

"You're getting sleepy, aren't you?". He smiled.

I nodded. "Can I leave the tv on until I fall asleep?".

"Sure, baby anything you want".

I put my snacks on the bedside table and buried myself under the covers. When he came back to bed, I was still awake but had my eyes closed.

"Is there anything you want to talk about that's maybe keeping you awake?". He asked climbing back in beside me.

I lay my head against his chest, my arm resting over his stomach.

"Lacey is avoiding us".

"I'm sure that's not true".

"Then why didn't she come over tonight?".

"I don't know Leah but I'm sure she'll have a good reason".

"Yeah, she's avoiding us. If she doesn't show up for breakfast tomorrow, then it's definitely that".

"Try and get some sleep it's late". He kissed the top of my head and that's the last we spoke until morning.
