The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"I'm easy shorty, don't think this weather is going to get any better".

The sky was grey, the rain drizzly. I think a thunderstorm was coming.

"Well it ain't walking on the beach weather". I laughed. "Let's go out of town for coffee though, I would hate to run into people that don't like me". Making a face he laughed. "Those girls ain't got nothing on you". He winked as we took off down the highway. I could feel my phone vibrating against my boot from inside my bag but chose to ignore it. "So have you heard from Abby?". I asked.

"Not even a text". He sighed. "I've been pretty busy with football practice so it's cool".

"How are things with you and Jake?". He asked.

"What do you mean?". I didn't take my eyes of the menu. Jake and I didn't have things. We weren't together.

"Oh come on Leah". He laughed. "You're new to town and he's Jake Taylor. People talk".

"Not you too". I groaned. "Please don't tell me you believe everything you hear?".

He shrugged. "Ask him out, what's the worst that could happen". Making a face he
