The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Breakfast didn't happen. By the time I got out the shower he had already left. A note stuck to the fridge, something to do with patrolling and changeover but he assured me he would be back for lunch time. I fixed myself some coffee whilst texting back and forth with Alanna. I still wanted to go out. I needed to deposit the cheque and I wanted to have a look round the mall. I was to pick Alanna up at her mom's. I grabbed my jacket, slipped my feet into my boots and grabbed my purse on the way out.

But just like always something must creep in and disrupt my day.

George was standing by my car.

"I'm heading out". I unlocked my car walking to the driver's side.

"I just need five minutes of your time".

"I'm not ready to talk to her yet". I had to keep reminding myself that I was putting myself first. No one else mattered right now. Not my gran and not Lana. I was happy, let's face it I haven't been this happy in a long time. For once I wasn't worrying about someone else. I was focusing on myself, putting my needs and my happiness above everyone else.

"She really misses you Leah".

I couldn't do this now. I didn't want to think about any of this. I had enough on my plate without adding my gran to it. I wasn't ready to see her, and I didn't want to be forced by guilt.
