My Hot Alpha

I tried to nap but I couldn't sleep. "Babe".

"I tried I can't sleep". I pushed the blanket off and sat up. I was hungry and really in the mood for nachos. Nachos with lots of cheese and jalapeños. "I want to go out". "Out where?". He frowned.

"I want nachos".

A laugh fell from his lips. "What happened to wanting to be healthier? I thought we weren't going to order anymore takeout?".

"Doesn't count if we're going out". I got to my feet. "We could maybe even go for a walk along the beach after?".

"Not really beach weather baby".

I shrugged. "It's better than staying cooped up in here all day. When was the last time we done something together?". "Pretty sure we did the food shop together".

"Really?". I made a face.

"I'm joking". He grinned. "If you want to go get nachos and go for a walk along the beach then that's what we'll do".

My grin matched his. We rarely did anything together. Hadn't been on a date with just us in forever. Or at least that's what it felt like. I didn't want the little things to disappear. Date nights mattered, showing up mattered. "I'm going to shower quickly. I won't be long". I kissed his cheek before heading upstairs.

I dressed for the weather. Wet and windy. Slipping my arms into my jacket I made a face at the tightness around my arms. Maybe I did need to ease up on eating out. I swear this jacket fit last month.

Sighing I got my boots from my closet and put them on before heading downstairs. Surely, I hadn't gained that much weight in the last month? But I guess sitting around all day with nothing to do would do that. "What's wrong?". He asked.
