The Alpha Chose Me

Putting on some music I sat on my window seat. The street was quiet tonight, peaceful. The storm had well and truly passed.

"He wants to take me out. He's not busy anymore. What do I wear?". Lana came bursting through my door in a state.

I started laughing. I had never seen her like this over a boy before and there I thought she wasn't that interested in him.

"Stop laughing and help me find something cute". Pulling the doors open to my closet she started throwing clothes everywhere.

"You need to calm down and do not even think about touching my red bottoms". I had been ranting about a pair of louboutin's since I was fifteen and my gran being the gran that she is bought them for my eighteenth birthday. I hadn't even wore them yet.

"Have you wore them?". She asked holding one up.

"Put them down". I said holding up my hands. Those shoes were expensive and still to this day I don't know how she was able to afford them.

"Help me find something to wear please". She groaned pulling out a black dress with lace sleeves. Another one I had bought and had yet to wear. "Oh I like this". She grinned holding it against her body.

"Where is he taking you?". I asked as she began to strip out of her clothes.

"Dinner I think I didn't ask, should I ask?". Slipping the dress over her body she looked at herself in the mirror. "That's never going to zip is it. You're so tiny compared to me".

"Maybe best to find out where he's taking you first and then we can find you something to wear". Walking to where she stood I pulled on the zipper. "It fits perfectly". I smiled.

"I'm nervous Leah and I'm never nervous when it comes to boys. I have this knot in my stomach". Smoothing her hands over the dress she looked at me through the mirror.

"You like him". I grinned.

"I've liked a lot of boys before and never felt this way. Why do I feel like I'm going to be sick".

"Maybe you like Pete that little bit more". I laughed when I caught her facial expression.

"I doubt that". She sighed. "But it's weird, this feeling is creeping me out".

"I think I'm falling in love with him". I blurted out. I had to tell someone. The feelings I had were crazy. I know it's only been a short time but my feelings were real. Realer than anything I've ever felt before and I was terrified.

"How do you know?". She whispered. That wasn't what I was expecting her to say. Usually it would be a cheeky one liner or something to make me laugh.

"I think about him all the time, I feel like my heart is going to burst. The way he makes me feel when we're together is magical. The excitement, the butterflies, the rush he gives me".

"Is it the same as what you felt with Tommy?".

Shaking my head no I gave her a small smile. Being with Jake was like a breath of fresh air. Everything with him was easy. He was interested in my opinion, he didn't laugh at what I had to say. He liked me for me, he wasn't trying to make me someone I wasn't.

"Completely different". I whispered. "Now I realise just how bad my relationship with Tommy was. It's just a shame it took for someone else to step in and show me".
