A Soldier and her Alpha✔

Eddy Darling

What the hell did I get myself into, I don't know any of these people and here I am getting ready to go meet them. Today I decided to change it up a bit, I was in blue leggings, white t-shirt, blue plaid shirt, my dog tags and my black high tops.

I pulled up to the restaurant and saw Cassie, Dereck and Blake waiting outside, no Suzie or Jamie not that I'm surprised. Dereck noticing my car whistled, "whoa sweet ride" he commented. "Thanks it was a gift"

"Shall we get a move on I'm hungry and I was hoping the mall serves breakfast" I spoke "Yeah we can go to the food court" Blake began " Do you mind if I ride with you? He asked looking at me. Such beautiful eyes. Wait what.

I wanted to tell him yes I minded but for the sake of being polite I told him no. When he got in he started drooling over the car rubbing his hands over the seats and the dash board. He also started making some weird noises to show his love for the car.

I'd be flattered if I didn't find it creepy. "If you've quiet finished making love to my car can we go?" He snapped his head up to me and embarrassed smile on his face and if I'm not mistaken a small tint of red could be seen on his cheeks. Cute

I groaned not again.

"Yeah let's go" He started pointing out various shops and landmarks as I followed behind Dereck and Cassie. It took us twenty minutes to get to the mall and it was fucking huge. Blake saw my shocked face and started laughing.

"That's the mall" HAHaHA "Yeah it's pretty big" He said still laughing "Big? It's fucking HUGE" I could feel him staring at me while I gaped at the building. "You guys coming?' Dereck called out, not wasting any time I quickly but carefully get out of the car.

When we walked in my nose was hit with all sort of yummy smelling dishes causing my stomach to grumble loudly making them snicker. "The first floor is for the whole food court upstairs and downstairs are all stores"

Whoa

"So where can we get some good breakfast?" I asked

"Mac's" They said together. "Trust us they have the best breakfast plus Blake's cousin Edward works here so we can get served quickly, just tell us what your feeling for" That seemed like cutting but they were already tossing orders to Blake who was texting away, I assume is his cousin.

I made them go first and as I listened I had an idea of what I wanted to get. "What's your order I'll take two sausage biscuits, a hash brown, a medium French vanilla and a chocolate chip muffin". That should be enough right? If I wanted to get my strength and bulk back up in the months to come I needed the protein.

They all stared at me giving me weird looks making me shrug "A girls got to eat" Blake typed my order in with everyone else's and told us we had to wait, sadly that gave them time to question me.

"So Skylar where you from and what made you decide to move here?" Even though Dereck asked the question I saw how the others perked up, they wanted to know too.

"I'm from New York butt I moved to Texas when my Dad got tra...a promotion and I've lived there most of my life"

"But you don't have an accent" Cassie accused. I raised my eye at her and saw her scoot over to Dereck some more. "I'm not a fan of the accent every now and then it will surface"

"Oh but you still didn't answer why did you come here" Now I got a little defensive "Why? Am I not allowed here?"

 "No I'm just curious" he said holding his arms up. He wasn't just curious he knew it and he knew I knew too. They all knew.

Whatever they were up to I wasn't giving in so easy. If they wanted to know so badly they'd have to go do some digging elsewhere. 'I was working and got injured and my dad thought a change of scenery would be good for me while I recover"

I could tell they wanted to ask more but stopped when someone dropped a bag on the table in front of us.

"Well hello there" he said turning to me and running his hands through his hair. Quite 'sexily" might I add. He flashed me a charming smile that might have wooed me if I wasn't surrounded good looking men and women on a daily basis. This boy was good looking and he knew it too.

"What's your name princess?' Is he serious? "It's Skylar not princess.....Eddy" I saw him flinch a little which made me smirk and give him a wink. Most people named Edward hated being called Eddy and it seems he was one of them.

He was about to say something when I heard a growl. Looking around I didn't see any animal. "Did you guys hear that?" "Yeah sorry that was my stomach guess I'm hungrier than I thought" Blake said quickly. "Are you sure it sounded like an animal". 

In fact I was sure it was an animal.

"Yup I'm sure, anyways breakfast is here and you Edward have to get back to work" With that he shoved forty bucks in his hand and pushed him in the direction of Mac's. He left willingly but not before he called out "Bye Princess" Grr

"Bye Eddy darling"

The scowl on his face just made this day a little bit better. I turned my head from Eddy's retreating form only to see Blake scowling and the others giggling quietly. "What? I asked.

"Don't flirt with my cousin" was his only reply before he slid my orders on to my side of the table. Normally I would have said he couldn't tell me what to do, but I was so hungry I merely brushed him off picking up my sandwich and taking a bite out of it. "Mhhmm"

Holy cheese balls this was the best thing I've ever eaten. "You like?" Cassie teased. Look who's getting bolder. "Like, I love it" I moaned taking another bite. Soon enough I was half way through my second sandwich and they were all laughing.

I didn't mind back at base my brothers would eat like pigs during our off season, bulking up for our next travels. I still had a few months before I'd be even remotely ready before I'd be allowed back on the fields. My wounds were nicely healing but I was still having nightmares about that night, which reminds me I have therapy tomorrow morning. I hate shrinks, ughh. "You okay?"

I was snapped out of my thought by Blake's hand on my shoulder "OWW"

"Oh shit, I did it again, sky I'm so sorry" I flex my shoulders feeling the pain and stiffness. "Don't worry about it, just a little bruise" He only gave me a small smile which I returned.

"How did you hurt your..."So that tour" I cut him getting up a little too quickly hurting my leg but right now I didn't care, I wasn't in the mood to tell them how I got stabbed and shot murdering terrorist assholes.
