An Omega, me?

Chapter 12: Smart call

Mitch POV

The next day I try to avoid Scott, although I would never admit that. When I see him I quickly turn around and go another way.

I try to do it casually, but I think he isn't buying it, his eyes squint and he tilts his head a little. Every time I smile a little, but he never smiles back.

When I try to sneak in to the kitchen to grab some food the door suddenly slams close behind me. I jump and turn around.

Of course is Scott standing there. "Hello Mitch, are you avoiding me?"

"O-of course not. Why would I?" I swallow nervously and try to act normal.

"I don't know, you tell me." He comes closer, slowly, like a predator hunting his prey.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I turn around and finish making my sandwich.

"No? It seems like you are gotten nervous around me, am I right? I can smell it a mile away." He slowly smiles and he stands right in front of me.

When I turn around I need to look up to meet his eyes. I silently curse myself. Of course he can smell it. Damnit. "Maybe, but it is inappropriate to smell someone. And without their approval even more." I look up sassily to hide my fear.

He chuckles, and moves his hand to the counter behind me to cage me in his arms. Oddly enough it don't makes me want to leave, a part of me loves to be so close to him. I swallow a few times and lick my lips.

With that small movement his attention goes from my eyes to my lips. Suddenly the temperature in the room goes up. Since when did it get so hot in here? His head moves closer and he looks me in the eyes for any signs if I don't want this.

But my eyes flutter close and I stand on my tiptoes to meet him halfway.

Then he kisses me.

His firm lips meets with mine and he puts one of his hands at the back of my head, gently pulling me closer.

I put mine hands on his chest, my brain screams at me to push him away, but my heart wants me to push myself even closer to him.

He keeps the kiss sweet, but I can feel he is holding back. God, can he even be more perfect?

We kiss until we are both out of breath. We look to each other and I blush furiously, he smiles and rest his head on mine.

Suddenly my brain catches up, I push him away and run to my room. Arriving there I lock my door and hide under the blankets, what have I done? I kissed him! Or did he kiss me? I'm so embarrassed. Now he definitely doesn't want me anymore. Wait, I want him to kiss me again? No, I don't want that, I repeat to myself. But it takes me more time to convince myself this time.

Shit, I really messed up this time.

Scott POV

When I caged him against the counter and he licked his lips, I couldn't control myself. I had to kiss him. I looked at him for any sings, but he sighed and closed his eyes.

When our lips meet, I need to control myself from picking him up and taking him to my room. I try to keep it sweet, but I need to hold his head to push him closer.

When we are both out of breath I break the kiss. He starts to blush immediately. I smile, he is so adorable when he does that. But suddenly he looks scared and pushes me away, running out of the door.

What did just happened? What did gone wrong? He wanted this, I wanted this, why did he run off?

I have really no idea. I need to call my beta, he is smart. He knows what was wrong and what to do.

I walk to my study room and call him.

"Hello sir Scott, how are you doing? Is there something wrong with the house?"

"Hello Kevin, no there is nothing wrong with the house, that is not why I called. You know I told you about my new omega, Mitch?"

"Yes, you did, he sounded lovely, although his attitude. How is he doing?"

"He is doing fine, and I thought I finally broke through his walls, and this morning I couldn't control myself and I kissed him."

"Oh, my. Sir, you kissed him? Against his will? I thought you were better than that. I am disappointed in you, if I may speak freely."

"It was not against his will! Of course not, he wanted it too, I was sure of it, but when we stopped he suddenly looked scared and run off. Did I do something wrong? I was gentle, I promise." I start pacing around the room, having too much energy and nerves to sit down.

"Oh, I'm sorry, that changes things. I think he was just scared to admit his feelings. Based on the files you send me he is an very independent but scared omega, he is just mean and sassy because he is scared of getting hurt again. And now you broke through his walls, he is scared of getting hurt by you, the person he trusts and loves."

"Wait, he loves me?" I say astonished, stopping in my tracks.

"Probably, but I don't think he realised it already. You need to be very careful with him. He has gone through a lot. One misstep and you lose him. And maybe forever. He needs a lot of love and trust. He needs to be sure you won't leave him. He needs time sir. A lot of it. Spend time with him, he will learn to trust you."

"Thank you Kevin, this helped a lot. When do you think you will be back?'' I sit down again and looks into my agenda.

"I think in about two days, he just signed the contract, afterwards I will fly back home. I would love to meet Mitch, I'm very excited."

"I'm sure he would like you. Come back home safely. I see you in two days." I hang up and lean back in my chair, thinking about our conversation.

Kevin made it clear I need to be patient with him. But I don't know how more patience I have left. One thing I'm sure about, is that I will try my hardest to be as patient as I can be.
