The Silent Alpha (Natalia)
Chapter 26
Chapter 26: Date 1
***Jane**
My hands shake anxiously as I watch the clock tick, both nervous and excited for my first date with Talia.I was stunned when she asked me out a few days ago but I greedily accepted the offer, desperately wanting to get to know her.I consulted with Aurora and Rosalie over what we should do, both of them insisting that I take Talia to the local amusement park to reduce the tension between us.
To make Talia feel more comfortable with me, I suggested that Kota join us for the first half and she readily accepted.
In all honesty, having Kota around would make me less nervous too.
We could then head over to the Lake at the AL pack for an evening picnic with just the two of us.
“You’ll be fine,” Agnes reassures me with a kind smile.
“You just have to be yourself and Talia will fall in love with you.She won’t be able to resist,” she wiggles her eyebrows.
“You’ll see.” Kota jumps around the living room like a bunny, already dressed for the park.
It took me a while to get his sunscreen on but the little tyke finally gave in when I bribed him with a cookie.
“Can we go now?” he asks, tugging at his little baseball hat.
“J-j-just a few m-minutes.Mom-my sti-ll n-needs to come ho-home and get read-ready,” I assure him sheepishly as she races into the room.
“Just give me five minutes to change and touch up my makeup and then I’ll be good to go,” she says over her shoulder as she rushes up the stairs.
Kota groans, swinging his arms around in boredom as twenty minutes pass by.
My palms grow sweaty in fear that Talia may have changed her mind entirely, but she finally descends down the stairs looking as beautiful as ever.
She looks amazing in a pair of high waisted jeans and an off the shoulder blouse, her golden skin glowing against the white of her shirt.
Talia flashes me a shy smile as I gawk at her, nearly falling over the chair I am sitting on.
Dude, snap out of it!Grayson growls.
She’s going to think you’re a moron! I try not to make a fool of myself and stand up straight but as I catch a glimpse of the bracelet on her wrist, my entire body fills with butterflies and I trip over the leg of the chair, crashing ungracefully on the ground.
Kota and Agnes burst into laughter while Talia rushes over to help me up.
Sparks tingle up and down my arm when our hands meet, the sensation startling Talia enough that she lets go, letting me fall back onto the floor.
“Oh my goodness,” she mutters to herself.
“I-I’m so sorry.I…I’m just nervous,” she gulps, tucking away a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she once again reaches over to help me up.
“It’s been Oh great, two nervous idiots going on a date to an amusement park with a child” Graysonmutters.
What could possibly go wrong? I block out his voice as I dust myself off, Talia holding out her hand for me to take.
“Let’s go,” She says quietly, waving over Kota to join us.
She checks Kota once more to make sure he’s ready to go before we walk over to the pack house.
Evan takes us to Aurora’s office where she appears to be hiding from the visiting Alphas.
“I’m not hiding,” the Queen mutters as she looks over some documents.
“I’m just very busy.”
Suddenly, a portal opens to her left and she grins at us, wiggling her eyebrows in mischief.
“Now you three have fun!”
She giggles, pushing Talia and Kota through the portal.
“And good luck!”
She hisses in my ear before shoving me through as well.I nearly lose my footing and crash into Talia, my chest bumping against hers.
She timidly looks up at me, our eyes locking in an intense gaze.
“H-hi,” Talia whispers, her lips curved into a small smile.
Now’s your chance, Say something to her, Grayson urges.
I open my mouth but end up choking on my tongue, coughing furiously into my arm.
Smooth, Grayson mutters as I struggle to regain control of my Talia hands me a bottle of water and I finally manage to catch my breath.
We look around the area Aurora sent us to and realize it’s a small alley beside the park.We will have to return here to be transported home again.
Talia takes the lead, leaving Kota to me and we head for the ticket booth to get our park passes.
