The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I showered, ate breakfast and was currently finishing off my coffee. I was sat at the kitchen table in a world of my own.

"Did you call her?". Jake asked.

'I'm in town sweetheart. Do you want to meet for coffee here? Maybe do a little prom shopping?'

I forgot about prom. Come to think of it I didn't even have a dress yet. I quickly texted her back letting her know I was on my way.
