The Alpha Chose Me

As we approached the little shack I groaned internally. Jessica and Holly were here. Holly I liked but for some reason Jessica hated me.

"Come on". As if he sensed my discomfort he slid his hand in mine and laced our fingers. "Pick whatever you want". He whispered his hot breath sending tingles down my spine.

As I was looking at the menu I could feel her Death stare in my back. This was because I was here with Jake. Was I to say no every time he asked me to go somewhere because she didn't like it?

"Jake my main man". The guy behind the counter grinned. "This the little lady is it?". He winked causing me to make a face.

"Gregg". Jake nodded. He seemed very reserved, like he was holding back. "Decided what you want yet princess?".

Gregg was smiling from ear to ear. "Anything you want it's on the house".

"I'll just have a burger and what about if we share some fries?". I asked.

He smirked.

"You won't want to share once you taste them. Gregg just give us 2 portions of dirty fries and 2 cheeseburgers with extra bacon and throw in 2 cokes".

"You got it boss". He winked as Jake led us to an empty table.

Boss?

I was uncomfortable. Not because of Jake but Jessica wouldn't stop staring.

"Your hearts beating so fast. Relax Leah and ignore her". As he slid his hand on top of mine I pulled it back.

"It's easy for you to say you're not the one she's glaring at". Sighing I smiled when Gregg placed our drinks on the table. "I've never had someone hate me as much as she does. She doesn't even know me".

"Want me to say something?". As he made a move to get up I gripped his hand. He didn't need to cause a scene.

"She's hates me because of you". I sighed. "Did you date?". I hoped he would be honest with me.

"I wouldn't say we dated". Scratching the back of his head he took a drink. "She knows I'm not interested in her and I'll never be interested again".

"Okay". I couldn't argue with that. She obviously wasn't over what they shared and that was understandable.

As Gregg placed our food on the table I couldn't wait to dig in. It smelled delicious. Digging my fork into the fries I shoved them right into my mouth.

Holy Jesus! He was right.

"Told you". He chuckled.

"Hi Leah". Holly smiled as she approached us.

Quickly chewing the food I had in my mouth I took a drink and smiled. "Hey Holly, how are you?".

"I'm good, I'm good. I just wanted to pop over and say hello". Taking a glance at her table I noticed Jessica wasn't there. "I know you two don't get on but I hope that doesn't mean we can't be friends".

"Of course we can be friends and I don't have an issue with Jessica, it's the other way around".

"Oh I know but I'm sure she'll come around".

"Holly". Jessica yelled.
