Weakness Of An Alpha

Chapter Eighteen; Elijah

When all the screaming calmed down. A familiar set of Brown hair and blue eyes, with that adoring smile that I loved was none other than Anastasia.

My eyes widened as she stared at the bat in my hands, and I quickly dropped it making a small clattering sound on the wooden floor broads.

"Hi," she whispered as Rosalie ran out hugging her. She was startled at first and surprised but hugged her back with a smile.

When they separated from each other. Anastasia smiled and I slightly, only slightly smiled back. I was shocked at seeing her on our doorstep.

"What are you doing here?". I asked with a frown on my face. A harsh as her mouth agape at me in shock at my rudeness.

I know that I shouldn't act like this. But she had just gotten dragged away by her father out of our house. While I got knocked the bloody hell out. By the way, that hurt. A lot.

And now she's here, standing at my front door with a smile on her face and saying 'hi' like it wasn't a big deal all of a sudden. I scoffed at her when I didn't get an answer.

"Elijah, don't be a dick. She is here to drive us to school." at that statement, I wasn't quite sure.

It took me a couple of seconds to answer, but I did. "That's fine. I'll wait in the car then."

With that, I made my way around the two walking down the steps, glancing at Anastasia and making my way over toward the car.

As I reached the car it was a little car, that of course could fit five people in it. It was a sports car. One of those Toyota kinds. Meh, those cars don't faze me much. Unless it's a Camaro, I'm good. And I'll also be stunned if Anastasia drove one of those.

The girls chatted a bit more when they got to the car. I got the backseat while they both got the front or so I thought. I snickered a little. I saw Anastasia climbing into the back with me, and felt her knee brushed against mine and my breath got caught in my throat as I slightly coughed a bit.

I shifted my eyes to her, as they contacted with hers. My breathing had come to a stop, at seeing her eyes on mine. So beautiful.

The feelings that I had towards her were bubbling up inside of me. I couldn't look at her anymore before I did something stupid. As I glanced away and leaned my arm on the door.

"So, I'm guessing Rosalie told you she wanted to drive?". I asked which was more of a question.

Her eyes slowly look my way as she looks a bit surprised at me talking to her and starting a conversation.

She sighed, but nodded and said. "She did. But she also told me to get in the back since we were picking up someone. I don't know who, though. So, don't ask."

At the corner of her eyes, she took a glance at me and I smiled, a little. "Don't worry, I wasn't going to."

My fingers accidentally touched hers as they were in the middle of the seat a bit close. A bolt of electricity had shocked our bodies. I eyed her slowly taking my hand quickly away from the sudden spark, and placing it on my knee. Anastasia gasped and bit down on her lower lip as it started to bleed.

I brought my hand on my knee bringing up my thumb to her lip and whipping blood away. We starred at each other in what felt like seconds, maybe even minutes at most. She licked the spot on her lip that had bled and my eyes locked on her lips, as her tongue slowly licked the area again. My insides turn, and my stomach twists as I groan a bit to get more comfortable in the seat.

The desperate need and want to kiss her is, unblieveable. I can't shake it out of my head. I know it would be wrong. Plus we had company in the car, so that wasn't gonna happen. Not now.

Not without permission from her, herself. I pulled away, didn't realise I had been leaning over to whip her lip, that the proximity we have was so close. I couldn't believe how I 'am' falling in love with her. Bit by bit. But, it's best if I keep it to myself as a secret.

I can't tell her until she has the same feelings. And, that. That's gonna take a while. She has a boyfriend right now, and it's best if I keep my feelings toward her hidden. I don't want to ruin anything.

My mind was wandering all over the place. I didn't realise how long I had been in my thoughts when a building had come into view.

"Is this where that 'someone' lives," I say, more of a whisper. But Rosalie heard me.

She turned to the rearview mirror and smiled. Which sent an alarming look that sent me rolling my eyes. Great, she's gonna leave, isn't she? But it was more of a grin than a smile.

Anastasia glanced around the house and saw people coming and going from within side and outside the house. "A fair amount of people here, Rosalie."

She looked a bit surprised and weirded out as people looked at the car and possibly wanted to know who was inside.

Rosalie looked at the both of us and said, "Sorry, but I only called Anastasia because I wanted to go to a party that my 'someone' was at." she hesitated and looked away with a guilty look on her face.

Anastasia and I throw a glare her way. "What!." we both shouted in unison.

I groaned and shifted my head to the window of the car. "You guys can go. I'll probably catch a ride there. Plus, I already enrolled Elijah in the school that you're going Anastasia." she gave us one last look and I punched her in the arm while she laughed and ran off into the house out of sight.

"Um, do you wanna drive?." Anastasia's voice asked, after a little more loudly than usual since the house was blasting out music.

I looked at her without answering.

"Okay, I'll drive then," she steps over the console and into the front driver's seat. Her hand brushed mine and I inhaled a sigh before grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards me.

Our faces were so close that our noses were touching slightly. "Touch. Me. Again, and I will-" I didn't finish as people stared at us through the windshield.

I glanced at them with a pissed-off look which made them all scraddle away. I sighed and glanced back to Anastasia as she gulped in some fear it looked like. She's afraid of me. I thought, pulling her arm away as she sat in the seat again.

I made my way out of the car and around towards the passenger seat and claimed inside.

We both turned to each other as she sorta of grind at me, like whatever that happened a few seconds ago didn't faze her. I rolled my eyes and glanced away as I tried not to smile, but, unfortunately, failed. I got a nudge from her elbow in my ribs.

"Stop." I hissed out harshly throwing her a glare.

"Just drive, will you." she gave me a look, and started the car, reversed it out of the driveway and onto the main road.

As we drove on the main road for a few seconds, toward our school. I hopefully think that Rosalie might have done that on purpose for me to talk to her again. She'll definitely, probably bang whoever she is meeting right now, at their House. No doubt, about it.

I sigh placing my head in my palm and leaning my elbow on the door. "Wake me up when we're there," I say getting comfortable in my seat.

Anastasia just nodded not taking her eyes off the road in front of her. I glanced at her for a bit as I closed my eyes, and heard, "This is gonna be a long ride." Before officially fell into a deep sleep.
