My Angel Baby

Chapter Fourteen

*Cameron*

After eating, Axel came back to take Tristan home.

Being alone in an apartment that wasn't my own felt weird and awkward. Especially when it belonged to someone that you have a love/hate relationship with. Okay, maybe love was too strong of an emotion...and maybe hate too. Hell, I didn't know what I was feeling when it came to Sia Steffon.

All I know is that he was making me feel mixed emotions that I hadn't been feeling before with him and it was driving me nuts. He was definitely turning out to be different than the Alphas I'm used to. He had a chance to take advantage of me and he didn't. I wasn't sure if that was genuine or just a trick to get me to trust him.

I hated that too.

Hated that my trust in anyone was nearly nonexistent, minus Tristan, who I trusted completely. But again, he was a different kind of breed altogether. Too innocent and kind. But his family...not so much. And Sia was part of his family. Maybe not exactly like them, but how do I know what he's capable of?

Now I'm being unfair. I know that, but I couldn't help it.

Quickly getting out of bed I race to the door and then carefully open it to listen. The place was silent, and no sounds could be heard. I know Tristan told me that Sia wasn't here, but I was still cautious anyways. Humiliation at its finest, I race to the bathroom, slam the door, and lock it. Taking a breath of relief I look myself in the mirror and grimace.

I only had my underwear on. My hair was a mess and I looked pale and icky. My skin also looked oily and gross. I was in good shape for an omega because I made sure that I had to be dealing with assholes like the one from the bar. I wasn't muscled out but definitely had tone going on. I look around the counter to see it was actually pretty neat for a single guy living on his own. I was tempted to check the medicine cabinet, but I wasn't a creep so pushed the urge down.

I go to turn the shower on when I realize I didn't bring any clothes to change into. Thankfully there was a clean towel hanging on the rack against the wall, but there was no way I was going to head out there with just that thing on after the shower. He could be home any moment without me knowing.

I unlock the door and swing it open, hoping my clothes were somewhere in the room or at least some spare ones in that closet that I saw, but before I could stop myself I slam right into another body that was facing the room I just came out of.

"Oof!" I cry out falling backwards, knowing I was going to land right on my ass.

Strong arms wraps around my waist preventing the ugly fall to happen. Immediate electrical zaps rush through my skin causing goosebumps to erupt all over me. A sharp intake of breath steals from my lungs and my eyes widen in shock as they stare into bright hazel ones that were just as shocked.

Grabbing onto his shoulders that were way too wide and hard than they looked, I couldn't help but cling to him as his sudden warmth enveloped me like a soft caress. It was like time stopped altogether as we just clung to one another and stared into each other's eyes. I should be pushing him away immediately like I would have with any other Alpha, but these butterflies flying in my stomach caused me to be immobilized.

I watch him swallow hard before he gently pulls us apart. Instant heat races across my face and down my neck realizing I had stuck to him like glue without freaking out like I normally would do. I quickly take a step back clearing my throat and avoiding eye contact.

"I brought you some clothes." He mumbles, shoving a folded shirt, pants, and brand new briefs into my chest.

Taking them gladly I nod and mumble my thanks then rush back into the bathroom all without saying another word. Shutting the door, I breath a sigh of relief, leaning my head against the wood while closing my eyes. How the hell was I going to face him if we keep running into each other in awkward situations?
