My Bestfriend Slipped Inside Me (An Alpha’s Secret) by Demiah13

Avery’s pov

There’s an older man, about forty pushing to maybe fifty who’s drooling all over the counter, his head plastered to the surface, snoring away. I want to wake him up and tell him to go home, but it looks like he needs the rest.

Grandpa looks like he had the world’s shittiest day.” Shayne snorted. beside and passes me a plate filled with buttery scorns, bagels, and some fruits.” Table two.”

After my classes, I went straight to work today. Since another of the staff hadn’t shown up today and called in sick, I took up the offer to work overtime. I was here on a scholarship, which meant I had to find. ways to make money to eat and buy things I needed.

Xade didn’t like me working and has always offered to take care of me, his father was loaded but I refused. I rather work my way than depend on anyone. Setting the plate down on table 2, I smiled at the woman.

Thank you,” she returned a friendly smile, picking up the fork to start eating. “Avery, table 4!” Shayne yelled behind the counter, sliding another full plate on the smooth surface.

I had just clutched the plate when the door opens and someone I had been avoiding the entire day walked in. The thing about Xade, is that you can never miss him. He had an aura to him that demanded all the attention, which he got, a lot. It pulled you in, from his gorgeous looks to just the kind of power that poured from him.

Like a magnet, his eyes connect to mine and I quickly look away, grabbing the plate and rushing to give it to table 4, my heart thudding. Avoiding him had been easy since he was nowhere to be found on the campus, I knew so because I was looking for him.

But him being here right now would prove difficult to ignore him. “Here’s your order,” I said, setting down the plate with a practiced smile as I tried to ignore the flutters of emotions Xade’s presence had stirred inside me.

I was still furious with him, but I will not lie and say that I could never stay mad at him forever. I glanced over at him once more, my heart. skipping when he began to approach me with long strides.
