Her Alpha

Chapter 16 - Just a Kiss

I changed my mind, as you can see :)

I'll upload the end of their date on Christmas, because I'm feeling like a really nice girl - which I'm definitely NOT - and uploading this now. I hope  you guys like it :)

ANTHONY’S P.O.V.

Breathe, Anthony, breathe. It’s just a girl. A hell of a perfect girl… ah, hell, breathe. I knocked on the door. The calming technique obviously wasn’t working. Plus, the little it had done went down the drain as soon as I saw her.

She looked smoking hot in that dress, and my breath got stuck in my throat as I felt a shadow cover my eyes for a moment.

She smirked, and I forced myself to snap out of it. “Wow, Ally…” I sounded out of breath, and I sure was out of words to describe her, but she didn’t seem to notice. She just blushed slightly, making my insides warm up. This was crazy. I had only known the girl for a week and I had totally fallen for her already.

Quite frankly, I didn’t understand it. There was just something about her that called to me in a way I couldn’t even describe. She pulled me out of my chaotic thoughts again by giving me a peck on the cheek – and making fire run through my veins. I was sure I had gotten as red as the lipstick mark she had left.

I heard her giggle as I followed her towards my car, and couldn’t help but smile too, while I wiped the imprint of her lips from my face. She was almost by the car door. I thought about opening it for her, and – though that was impossible – before either of us realized I was there. How the hell had I moved so fast? I couldn’t help but to look shocked.

Her eyes widened just slightly, but I could tell she was fighting a smile. *She understands what happened, even if you don’t.* and there it was again, the voice that had been haunting me for a week. Since the day Alexis had told me she had arrived in town, actually. I was pretty sure it was connected, somehow. I shook the thought and opened the door. She got in, not seeming to notice my lapses, but I caught a glimpse of her grin through the tinted glass.

I looked at her house as I walked around the car to the driver side. She had left the living room light on. And the place was huge. That was weird. I got in and looked at her. She looked as if everything was normal. Well, I wasn’t going to complain. “You live here alone?” I nodded towards the house.

She flashed me one of her wicked grins that always had me off my feet. “Nope. But the person I share the house with is another thing I won’t tell you, at least for now.”

That gave me a thought I sure wasn’t comfortable with. “Why? Is it a guy?” I started the car and drove off.

She was still smiling at me. “Yup. But I don’t see him as one. If you must know, his name’s Derek. What he is to me and why he’s here, though, is the second of my little secrets.” I could swear she had fun teasing me with those little insinuations of hers. First the tattoo, now this Derek dude.

I was more jealous of him than was healthy. No other man should be so close to her. She was MINE. Whoa, where had THAT come from? I really WAS going mad. “Is he your boyfriend?” my jealousy seeped into my voice. Crap.

She laughed. “You’re cute when you’re jealous. You know that right? He’s not my boyfriend. I dumped my boyfriend a while ago. He wasn’t the right guy for me.”

I wondered if I was the right guy for her. *If you don’t make a move, then you sure won’t be.* that voice really did annoy me. “Who is he then?” I wasn’t really curious about it. I was jealous. Which annoyed the crap out of me, and was why I had ignored her witty comment on that.
