The Alpha's Bite [On Going]

Chapter 1: At Cafe

<UNEDITED>

“In the end you can’t always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.”
— Ally Condie, Crossed

Eleanor's POV

It was a dark and stormy night but the sun had set a bank of charcoal gray clouds over the rocky line of mountains, and I could literally see the people hurriedly past by as it was definitely going to become stormy September night, yet I'm still here sitting inside the coffee shop patiently waiting for my best friend.

I sip my caffeine and ate the remaining croissant silently as I savor the taste of it cause they had the bests.

Sighing I glance at the clock it indicates past ten pm already.

But what if he got caught by the storm or he could have a car trouble or... I shake my head for any possible reasons why he's not here yet.

I heaved a sigh and just smiled and continued to stare at the window hoping for my best friend to come. Damn it I hope he hurry up!

I perked up when I heard the door open then close.

"Whew!" my white t-shirt alternately billow cling as I felt a cool, damp wind going through my spine. Shivering from a gust of wind, I wrap my arms around myself to let warm comforts me.

Taking a deep breath and scanning the cafe I catch my eyes with a tall, gorgeous and strikingly attractive man with messy black hair and a blue eyes which I found extremely sexy and- already watching me intently.

Heavens! Oh my god.. Who is he?

What? No maybe there's something wrong in my face or he thinks I'm Romanian or he might thinks I'm one of those sluts.. at point to those two sitting right next to me who keeps drooling over him in way as much as I felt the same way too, but why is it he watch me like I was kind of important like I was the last species on earth?

I shook my head for impossible reasons 'No no no no I shouldn't be like this.'

I pulled away feeling embarrassed that I stare at him too. You know, it's not my nature to stare at guys heck I don't even know him.

But I couldn't tear my gaze away from him it was like I'm mesmerized by his gorgeous blue eyes and something behind those secret expression and I realized there's a frown in his forehead.

I raised my eyebrows at him confused as to why his looking at me like that but he seems not to care.

Ladies and gentlemen, we were having a staring contest like idiots that seems no one would pulled away. Are we having a moment?

I continued to study this mysterious man himself since I think he's in mid-twenties until my phone buzzed on top of the wooden table causing it to have annoying buzzing sound. People glared at me like 'answer that it's annoying' look.

Grabbing my phone, my thumb slid the green screen.

"Uhm hello"

"God Ellie, where have you been? I mean I kept texting you and you wouldn't reply" his voice was loud and lively that's when I noticed that Drew had been texted me for past minutes and I myself forgot that I was in the middle of waiting for him.

I cleared my throat "Obviously I'm patiently waiting for you to come but since you are quite busy there" I keep my voice not sounded like jealous but seems my voice would betray me.

"Awhh you sounded like jelly" he teased

I rolled my eyes at him even though he can't see me.

Even when were little, Drew is one of the most nerdy popular guy in school. And I kind find him attractive that time. As days pass by we became even closer and closer than I expected to be and my feelings for him grow and grow even more. He would go to my house in weekends or after school and do our assignments together, we share thoughts that would end up late at night, he bought my favorites foods and all's and especially mom and dad likes him too.

But certainly as time goes by I started to feel nothing and my crush for him turned sour, it felt so pointless- I admit I really miss how things used to be. But I can also admit, that I've accepted the fact that things have changed.

Besides he has girlfriend.

No, it wasn't Drew himself pointless. He is way more than that. He's cute, charming and perfect for a guy best friend.

He continued to tease me even more and I kept myself smiling that's when I noticed that - he's gone. That sexy mysterious hot man was gone? What the hell is wrong with me?

"Hello on world, Ellie!" Drew speaks louder this time and I snapped away from my thoughts.

"Uh y-eah" I stutter.

But before he could speak I cut him off. "Drew, I better go" And with that I rush to the door before I can connect my brain to my body in a way I couldn't control. It's like my brain wouldn't listen to me. So I did whatever heck going's on with me I followed the mysterious guy.
