The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Chapter 409

I wasn't arguing with him today. If he wanted to stay in a funk about what happened, then he would come out it the way he went into it because I wasn't talking about it anymore. I was over it. I woke around 9 and the bed was empty and cold next to me. Of course, he didn't come home. Probably still patrolling this very minute.

I was in the kitchen drinking coffee. Lana had already left this morning leaving me a note to make me aware. I had already planned my day for today. I wasn't sitting about the house doing nothing. It's all I ever did, and I was sick of it.

I had already showered and planned to visit the library in town. I also planned to stop by the college again to see if they could speed up the process on their decision.

I was sick of waiting to hear back from them too. I needed something to fill my time, and college was the perfect place. It also gave me a little bit of my life back. Some normality and maybe even a little bit of my social life back.

I never went out anymore, not like I used to, and I missed it. I missed the nightlife, the dancing, the music. Sometimes I felt like a housewife, and I was nowhere near ready for that.

Jake liked to keep me in a bubble but that wasn't me. He would be happy to have me at home all day every day, but I couldn't do it. I wasn't built to do nothing.

I finished off my coffee placing my empty mug in the sink. Slipping my arms into my jacket I grabbed the keys to the truck and my purse before leaving out the front door. I stopped on the porch.

Jake and Pete seemed deep in conversation at the bottom of the driveway.

Like they weren't even there I made my way to the truck unlocked it and got in. I had yet to replace my car so Jake's truck would have to do.
