My Hot Alpha

Chapter 427

It was as if nothing had ever changed. There was no elephant in the room, no awkwardness. Everyone was chatting and getting along. I was stuck in a conversation with my aunt Claire about college.

"That's amazing Leah and when do you start?". She asked.

I could feel my grans eyes on me. She was listening to every word smiling and if I'm being honest, it made me kind of sad. There were loads I missed about her, and it still terrified me in case we couldn't rekindle the relationship we once had.

"In 3 weeks', time". I nodded. "I still have to pick up my schedule and other things, but I have plenty of time".

"That you do". She smiled. "I'm so excited for you".

"Thanks". I smiled. "I'm excited too". I couldn't wait to get back into a routine again and who knows maybe I'll pick up a job on campus. Turns out the gas station wasn't for me.

Even though I only did the one shift, or half a shift Jake never took me back and it was never talked about again.

"I'm glad you're going to college sweetheart". My gran spoke. "It's nice to see you're doing well". "Me too". I nodded.

I had barely seen George, he was busy in the kitchen preparing everyone's food. He would show face for a few minutes, fill up wine glasses and then disappear again.

Oddly enough he couldn't seem to make eye contact with me.

"If you'll excuse me a minute". My gran spoke as she got to her feet.
