The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

I was parked outside the coffee shop had been for about fifteen minutes. My gran was here inside sitting in a booth by the window. I could see her perfectly from my car.

I hadn't gone inside yet because I wasn't sure what to say to her. I wasn't sure how it was going to go. Should I even be here? Should I have left the past in the past and got on with my life? I missed having her in my life, but I didn't need her not anymore.

Sighing I unclipped my seatbelt and got out making sure to lock my car before heading inside. She had already ordered for us. Two coffees sat on the table.

"Hey". I smiled sitting opposite her.

"I ordered for us I hope it's still a cappuccino". She spoke.

"It is thank you". I felt awkward, it was awkward between us and if it's one thing I hated it was feeling uncomfortable. It shouldn't be like this not with her. I still wondered how we ended up the way we did. We used to be so close.

"You look good sweetheart". She smiled. "Are you doing, okay? Is life treating you well?".

I shrugged. "I haven't really been doing much if I'm honest. I'm waiting to hear back about college but that's about it". I didn't feel the need to share everything with her because she didn't need to know. She didn't need to know about the baby or the miscarriage.

"Sounds exciting. Am I right in saying you'll be studying English literature?". She asked.

"That's the plan". I took a sip of my coffee. "But I have to wait and see if I get a space first".

"I'm sure you will".

am I here?".

"What?". She frowned.
