The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Chapter 426

I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop myself from smiling. "I mean it would be rude not to wouldn't it".

"Damn right shorty. I'm looking forward to it and I kinda miss you".

"I miss you too Ryan". I would leave the college chat until I see him Saturday. We had lots to catch up on and I wanted to know how uni was treating him. "Right, I gotta get to class. See you Saturday beautiful".

Talking to Ryan brightened my mood massively. Not that I was in a mood but hearing from him made me smile and I liked that he hadn't forgotten about me. I pulled into the parking lot of the mall and switched off my engine.

I took my lukewarm coffee with me as I made my way inside the mall. Thankfully the weather was okay today. A little dull but the chill in the air was gone. First stop I made was Ulta. I wanted new skincare, and my foundation had gone dry.

I spent some time looking at different foundations, I picked up some new moisturiser and serum along with a new exfoliating scrub. Was it bad I wanted to start looking after myself again?

These past few weeks felt like I had let myself go a little and by that, I mean I wasn't really fussed on my appearance or anything else anymore. I honestly didn't have the energy to care about it, but I wanted to.

I wanted to start getting a routine back. Don't get me wrong I wasn't vain and you're lucky I washed my hair once a week but small changes, right? I smiled to myself I was being ridiculous.

I paid for my things and whilst at the checkout was guilted into buying Alien by Thierry Mulger and when I say guilted, I mean it was my favourite and I was running low.

Jake has always told me the card was to use and today I wanted to use it.

I left and stopped at Costa for another coffee and a bacon and cheese sandwich. I was watching TikTok's and enjoying my own company until Alanna's name started flashing on my screen. I was tempted to send her to voicemail but of course I didn't.

"Hello?". I answered.
