My Hot Alpha

I quickly dried out my hair before changing into a floral print knee length dress. Once again, I caught myself staring at my reflection in the mirror, my hands lying flat against my stomach.

I closed my eyes took a deep breath and finished off getting ready. If it wasn't his parents coming to dinner, I'd have been in either fresh pjs or a pair of sweats, but I wanted to make a little effort. I frowned when I heard a knock at the front door.

They were early.

My bedroom door opened; Alanna walked in like she owned the place collapsing onto our bed. The bed I had not long made. I loved her like a sister but sometimes I could throttle her. "What?". I sighed when I caught her staring.

"I'm here for dinner". She grinned.

Of course, she was.

"Joking". She winked. "Can I borrow your black jacket?".

I had no idea which jacket she was talking about. I had a few black jackets. Short and long.

"Help yourself". I pointed to my closet. "Where are you going?".

"Drinks with the girls. There's a cocktail bar in town I've been dying to try. It only opened a few months ago. Plays live music to".

Right. I didn't like the feeling that rose in my stomach. The feeling of being left out. Pursing my lips, I grabbed my phone off the floor. "You'll find one in there and don't touch my shoes". "Love you". She yelled as I made my way downstairs.

It shouldn't but I was annoyed. I was annoyed that they were going out and I wasn't. I couldn't drink but I could still go out and have fun. Jake was in the living room a beer in his hand the tv on in the background. He looked up from his phone.

"Wow babe you look beautiful".

"Yeah". I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. "We need to start locking the doors". I huffed.

I was being petty, but I couldn't help it. I didn't even get an invite.

"What's wrong?". He asked.

"Nothing". I closed the fridge door before disappearing into the pantry. I wanted a snack. I opened a new bag of lays and grabbed a bag of Hershey kisses.

Was this how it was going to be from now on? I wasn't going to get invited places because I was pregnant? They were real shitty friends if that was the case.

"Babe". He stood at the pantry door as I stood in the corner stuffing my face.

"What?".

"You'll ruin your dinner".

"Don't care". I shrugged.

"Has something happened?". He asked just as I heard the front door close.

"No". "Babe".

"They're going out without me". Even saying the words, I felt stupid. If I had been asked, I'd have probably said no anyway but it wasn't the point. I was an emotional mess most days and this wasn't making me feel any better. "Do you want to go out?".

"No". I made a face.

"Then what's the issue?". He frowned.

"They didn't invite me that's the issue and they didn't invite me because I'm pregnant. I'm going to be pregnant for a whole nine months. I feel left out and it's not a nice feeling".

"I'm sure that's not true Leah".

"Yeah, then why wasn't I invited?".

"I don't know baby, but can we get out of the pantry and go into the living room? My parents will be here soon".

I sat on the couch scrolling through my phone. It wasn't bad enough that I didn't get invited I now had to see pictures plastered all over my Facebook. Turning my phone onto do not disturb I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to focus on the tv. Jakes parents hadn't arrived yet but before they did, I had to try and change my mood. If I glared any harder, I'm sure my face would stay like this.

"Leah?".

"Hm?".

"Baby, are you really that annoyed that you didn't get asked to go out?".

"Yes, yes I am". I never once took my eyes off the tv. "My friends are out having a good time and I'm". I paused. I had to think about what I was going to say next. "You know what it doesn't matter I have to pee".This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
