The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 290

Where did that come from?

“Sorry”. I sighed.

“What time did you get up this morning?”.

“Around nine". I lied. I had been up with the birds. I tried to get back to sleep but I couldn't.

“Leah”.

“Half 5". I chewed my bottom lip. “But on the plus side I cleaned the full house and-..".

“Baby”. He grabbed both my hands. “One, you don't need to clean the house. If it’s dirty I'll get someone in to clean it and two, you need to sleep longer than 5 hours”. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I rolled my eyes. It was our home. I wasn't going to let someone else take care of it. “I'm fine I wasn't tired. I'm going to shower and then do some grocery shopping’. I kissed his cheek.

He didn't let go of my hands.

“Grocery shopping?”.

“Yes, it's what adults do so they can eat"

“You never go grocery shopping”.

“Well today I'm going to start”.

We always had the essentials, bread and milk but I wanted to do a full pantry shop and fill the fridge and freezer. It was time we started meal prepping instead of always eating out or snacking.

“Did you deposit that-... Leah”. He sighed. “That needs to be put into your bank account”.

The cheque was still stuck to the fridge but it's not as if it wasn't safe. No one was going to steal it from our home and if someone did, they couldn't deposit it anyway.

“Ill stop by the bank on my way to the store, happy?"

“How about I come with you?".

“You're not busy?" I asked.

“I'm never busy when it comes to you".

I rolled my eyes but couldn't hide my smile. I liked hanging out and spending time together. Even if it was just to get some groceries.

He was worse than a child. In fact, going grocery shopping with Jake is exactly how I imagined it would be taking a child.

I wasn't against sweets, hello, sweet tooth here but we literally had enough to open a candy store.

“We need real food Jake”. I sighed as he put a box of twinkies in the cart.

We needed meats and vegetables. Fruits and greens. The way he was going we weren't going to have any teeth by Christmas. He smirked. “It's for cheat day”.

Cheat day my ass. If that was the case cheat day was every day in our house. My snacking habits had gotten worse. Especially at night.

“Do you want me to put everything back?". He asked.

No, no I did not.

“I never said that".

We finished the rest of the shopping pretty quickly. I stopped him from putting anymore junk in the cart and instead filled it with real food. I wasn't much of a cook, but I wasn't against trying.

Home cooked meals were the best and I was going to try and make one at least once a week. Something different each time. He tapped his card as I put the last bag in the cart. I didn't like that he paid for everything, but I didn't have any money to contribute, not until this cheque cleared.

If I didn't have that I would have nothing. I literally have no money. I had to find a real job and fast. I had to start earning my own money.

“Did you pick up your gown for Friday?". He asked as we walked toward the car.

“Alanna has it. Why?".

“Do you think your gran will come?”. As he began to put the shopping in the car, I stood staring at him. Was there a point to his question?

I shrugged. I wasn't sure my gran knew this Friday was my graduation. I wasn't sure if her and George were still in town. I hadn't heard from her other than when I turned George away.

“Have you decided what you want yet?".

“Two weeks in Mexico” I grinned.

“I can do that".

A laugh fell from my lips. “I'm joking please don't book us a holiday”. I opened the passenger side door and got in. As Jake went to return the cart, I took my phone from my bag.

Lana had texted me.

She was coming home tomorrow.
