My Beloved Omega

Chapter 9

Alexa's POV

I could feel tears trickling down my face at Nick's confession. The broken look that mirrored his face seemed to stab at my heart over and over again. He looked about ready for me to reject him and it honestly broke my heart. Couldn't he see that I loved him and would never leave him, not only because he is my soulmate but also because I truly love him.

I tilted his face up to look at me but he still kept his eyes away from mine. I gently cupped his face between both of my hands and then I gave him a kiss which I hope conveyed every bit of love that I felt for him. I kissed him with all the passion that I had and I just hoped that he could feel everything from this one single kiss. Nick kissed me back and through the kiss I could feel all of his fear and all of his insecurities. I gently nibbled on his lower lip before I pulled back from the kiss.

"Nicholas, you're enough for me. I love you with everything in me. Your journey is my journey. I never want you to hide anything away from me ever again. I care about you and I want to know if something is bothering you." I said in complete seriousness. "I love everything about you and I will never get tired of helping you as long as you let me do it, let me be there for you. Telling me about your problems doesn't make you less manly, in fact to me it is one of the things that make you even manlier than you are now. We'll work on everything together, just don't push me away." I continued looking into his eyes with my own teary eyes.

This time Nick was the one who leaned in to kiss me as he wiped the tears off of my face. This kiss held so much promise, promise of a better future. His kiss made my toes curl up in pleasure and my insides burn in desire.

"I'm sorry, Baby. I will never shut you out again. I love you with everything in me too." He said his lips brushing up against mine with every word that he spoke.

Nick then again pressed his lips against mine in a passionate kiss as he pulled me onto his body. Luckily we were on his bed so everything was just soft cushion around us.

The next thing I knew, one thing lead to another and a passionate kiss turned into a passionate night, full of new connections.

I woke in first in the morning and after checking my phone I saw that the time was 06:20 so I would definitely be going back to bed after relieving my bladder. I could feel myself blushing at our nakedness but I pushed through it and made my way to the bathroom. I was rinsing my hands while looking at my hair in the mirror when the mark on my neck caught my attention.

There on my neck lay a beautiful mate mark of Nicholas's name written in beautiful designs on the side of my neck. Looking at my mate mark brought back memories of last night I still couldn't believe that I had done it with Nick, but the most important thing is that I felt no regrets.

I got out of the bathroom and made my way to bed only to notice that Nick was already awake.

"What are you doing up?" I asked as I slipped into the covers after putting on my PJs.

"Well someone important left this bed and that resulted in me feeling cold and waking up." He said in his sexy morning voice.

"What a mean person, how could she leave such a handsome guy behind." I played along.

"She's actually the nicest person in the world and I honestly adore her." He said leaning in for a kiss.

"And she adores you too." I said with my lips against his. We kissed until we were both left breathless. I then laid my head against his chest and listened to his soothing heartbeat as I drew imaginary designs on his chest which had healed up quite nicely over the past week.

"That feels nice." Nick quietly moaned with his eyes now closed.

"Nick, I was thinking about..." I trailed off afraid of the reaction that he might have.

"Thinking about what Baby?" He asked now looking into my eyes.

"Well, I was thinking about how going to a therapist might actually be of help to you, you don't have to if you don't want-" my blabbering was cut off by Nick's lips being on mine, surprising me a bit.

"I'll give it a chance, Baby. As long as you'll be there with me I'm willing to try it." He said with his eyes full of seriousness.

"Okay I'll ask Mom to book an appointment for you then. Sometime this upcoming week." I said to him beaming with joy. "And I want us to go phone shopping today. Nick do you have any of your important documents like you ID card and stuff?" I asked knowing that the chance of him having these things would be 0.1%.

"I don't think that I do. They were in my jean pockets and I haven't seen those since I got here." He said with a frown.

"It's okay we'll deal with those later, for now let's take a little nap. It's still a bit early to be up." I said wrapping my arms around Nick's waist and closing my eyes.

"Whatever my princess desires." Nick said wrapping his arms around me, making me release a little giggle.

We took a nap and woke up at around 11:04. When we got to the kitchen Mom and Dad looked at us with knowing smiles making me blush but because of my dark skin it luckily wasn't visible.

"Good morning Mom, Good morning Dad." I greeted and kissed each individual on the cheek.

"Good morning Honey." They both greeted in unison.

"Good morning Cora, Good morning Pierre." Nick politely greeted my parents before we set down for breakfast.

"Good morning Nick." They again greeted in unison.

"Mom did you happen to find anything like an ID or driver's licence in Nick's pants after we found him?" I asked as I sat down and prepared to eat.

"To be honest Honey, I didn't even look through them so I don't know what could be in there. I luckily haven't thrown them away yet, they are in the laundry room so you can search through them when we're done eating." She said seeming to be digging through her brain to try and remember whether she had seen anything in them or not.

"Okay, thanks Mom." I said as I dug into my food. Unlike before when he first came here Nick was more comfortable with the family and wouldn't ask for permission to eat anymore, and this made me all the more comfortable since this proved that Nick was more comfortable in the family.

After breakfast Nick and I went to the laundry and first we had to look for his pants and this took some time because Mom hadn't done the laundry of the week yet. When we finally found them it made the search worthwhile because we found both Nick's ID and his licence in his pants.

"Mom, we found Nick's things so may I please borrow your car so that we can go phone shopping. Nick still doesn't have a phone." I asked my mom.

"No problem Dear." She responded and with that Nick and I were off to the Mall with him driving since I didn't have my driver's licence yet and I have to say he is a really smooth driver.

Nick and I held hands throughout the whole shopping trip and I have to admit it really felt nice to shop with him, he was patient. We went to every phone selling shop and compared prices, in the end we settled with a Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra which seems to have captivated Nick's attention throughout the trip. We ended up buying it even with Nick's constant protests.

"I'm hungry and now that we've gotten you a phone, let's go and eat." Was the last thing that I said before I pulled Nick to the food court so that we could buy something that could silence my rumbling stomach.
