My Hot Alpha

Tonight was long. Dinner was delicious as always, but I was ready to go home. The atmosphere was light and surprisingly not awkward at all. My gran and George left shorty after Charlotte served coffee. Something about being up early tomorrow. I wasn't really paying attention but that was nothing new. I found it hard to stay out of my own head at times. I didn't have the best concentration span. Overall, it was a lovely evening. Although I did wonder why Alanna never showed face.

"Leah, would you like more coffee?". Charlotte asked.

Stifling a yawn I shook my head. "I'm good thanks". If I had anymore coffee, I'd be up all night.

"Okay sweetie I'll sort you both with some leftovers before you head home". As she left the dining room Jake leaned over placing a kiss on my lips.

His dad had excused himself earlier to deal with some work stuff.

"You doing, okay?".

"I'm good". I smiled. "Stuffed and ready for bed but I'm good".

"That's good baby". He placed another kiss on my lips. "And your gran?".

"We talked a little. She wants me to go for dinner sometime this week. My aunt Claire is driving up, so she wants us all together".

"Think she's coming up to soften the blow?". He asked.

"Maybe". I shrugged. "But it doesn't matter. It's time we put it all behind us and move on".

"And that's what you want to do?".

I nodded. "Whether she's in my life or not it's not going to change anything. I just want to move on and focus on what's ahead".
