The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

Chapter 457

The radio was playing but I had yet to burst into conversation. I was keeping myself occupied by staring out the window. He had yet to strike up a conversation either and I hate to say it, but I could feel some tension between us, and it wasn’t sexual.

A sigh fell from my lips as I ran a hand down my face. I didn’t know what to say. He wanted to drive me three hours away and I was fine with that but not to sit in silence for 3 hours.

“You’re killing me here Jake. What’s wrong?”.

“I’m thinking babe. Just because I’m not talking doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong”.

“So, I’m just imagining the tension between us?”.

“No”. He shook his head. “It’s definitely there but it’s not coming from me”.

I frowned. What did he mean? I wasn’t causing tension. Was I?

“How so?”. I asked. “And if I can feel it then it’s coming from you as well. Not just me Jake”.

“Watch your tone”.

“You’ve been weird ever since I told you I was going back with my dad”.

“I’m fine”. He shrugged. “You want to go to your dads, and I can’t stop you”.

That was the end of the conversation because I turned my head back around and kept my focus on the views we were passing. Even though it was dark and I couldn’t see anything.
