The Alphas Choice

Chapter 5

*Lucas POV*

I am just watching her again at lunch. I wish she would come sit with us again.

I can hear her stomach grumbling from here. I have looked up her history. I know her dad left them with nothing. I know they are short of money. The rumbling is hurting my heart. I sigh and get up.

I walk to her and sit beside her. She glares at me. Her hunger is probably just adding to her hatred for me. She takes one head phone out.

"What do you want?"

A big emphasis on you and her voice is like knives slashing.

"Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?"

She snorts.

"No way, I might be in danger of not being able to take my eyes off the absolutely amazing specimen that is Lucas, I wouldn’t be able to eat because I am too busy staring lovingly at you, so I might just skip the whole thing"

She gets up and storms off. I sigh again and look over at Kira. She and the others are laughing their asses off. Damn werewolf hearing.

She doesn't go to the gym that afternoon. I have an idea, it is my most brilliant one yet. I knock on the door. A woman answers.

"Hi Ms Hall I am Lucas, Alexis's friend from school I thought you might like to try some of the local offerings"

I put my hand up holding a big bag up full of Chinese food containers. Her eyes soften and she smiles at me.

"Well Lucas that was very thoughtful of you, why don't you come in?"

I follow her into the kitchen where Alexis is at the table with her head on her hands.

"Look Alexis, it's your friend Lucas, he brought us dinner, isn't that nice?"

She looks up at me and glares and snorts.

"Yeah, right friend"

But the food smell hits her nose and she breathes deeply.

"Fine"

Ms Hall shows me to my seat and I sit. Alexis grabs 3 plates and slams my plate hard on the table. Ms Hall looks at the interaction between us with a smirk on her face.

"So Lucas, what did you do to my daughter to piss her off so much"

"I said I was good looking"

She bursts out laughing.

"Well Alexis, he isn't really wrong"

Even Alexis cracks a smile at this before her face turns surly again, this girl can really hold a grudge.

"Well Ms Hall…."

"Call me Tara"

"Tara, she isn't the first girl to reject me"

"She isn't?"

I laugh.

"Well maybe she is"

That earns a laugh from Tara. Alexis on the other hand has a sour look plastered to her face. I think her attitude is adorable.

We eat. I spend most of the time talking to Tara. Tara leaves us and Alexis looks at me.

"And what are you hoping to get for all this?"

"Just come sit with us at lunch, Kira keeps nagging me for annoying you"

"No more 'I am so handsome' stuff?"

She starts thinking and says under her breath. 'i do have eyes' I smile but let it slide as a human wouldn't have heard it.

"No more"

"No more hitting on me?"

"No more"

"Fine I will"

"Good"

"I will see you tomorrow"

"Do I get a goodnight kiss?"

She storms to the door and throws it open.

"Out now"

I brush past her as I leave giving her a soft kiss on the cheek as I do.

"Good night princess, see you tomorrow"

She slams the door in my face. I can't wipe the smile off my face. She is such a fire cracker.

I get on my bike and take off. I cut straight through the trees at full speed with only the feeble head light to guide me. What can I say I like living dangerously, which is pretty easy when you can recover quickly from most injuries.

I get to the pack house. Kira walks up to me.

"Where have you been?"

"Having dinner with Alexis"

She snorts.

"Leave that poor girl alone"

"She agreed to eat with us tomorrow again"

"Really?"

She hugs me and runs off. I am a lot more excited about the idea than she is, trust me.

*Alexis POV*

"Get out"

Seriously this guy, does he let up? He brushes past me his lips connecting with my cheek. Tingles spreading through my body as he does. Why does he make me feel like this?

"Good night princess, I will see you tomorrow"

I slam the door in his face. I don't want to see his smug grin anymore. Well maybe I do, but still. What a self obsessed i***t. But why can I not stop thinking about him. He smells so good.

I turn from the door to find mum looking at me with a devious smile on her face.

"What?"

I demand.

"Nothing he just seems nice"

"He is a stuck up ass hat"

"Well he is a pretty cute ass hat"

I roll my eyes and storm up stairs. He really is.

I get to school the next day. Lucas is sitting on his dirt bike looking straight at me smiling wide. I don't really understand why he wears the pants and boots and doesn't have the rest of the gear. I would think a helmet is the most important part. His golden blonde hair dancing in the wind. His sun kissed skin nearly glowing. His blue eyes alive with his smile.

He is without a doubt the best looking guy I have ever seen. But the fact he knows it annoys me. I don't even smile back I just continue on my way. I will not be suckered in by your looks and your damn sexiness. I walk to my locker and to class. I realize it is the class I share with Lucas. He smiles as I enter and pats the bench beside him. I look around. No other option again. I sit down.

"Good morning princess"

I mumble.

"Good morning"

He stays on his side of the bench the entire class.

"What no more getting all up in my personal space?"

"I did promise, but if you change your mind I will be up in your personal space as much as you want"

He winks at me. I turn from him so he doesn't see me blush. I can't fight the smile that sneaks across my face. He gets up at the end of class.

"Okay princess I will see you at lunch time"

He walks straight out. I was going to tell him to stop calling me Princess but I think it is actually starting to grow on me. Not that I will ever tell him that though.

The next class dragged till lunch. Why did I actually want to see him now? What is with this guy? I walk out to lunch. Kira runs up and hugs me.

"Thanks for forgiving me for having a twin as annoying as Lucas"

"Umm yeah no worries"

I send Lucas a look and he he just smiles at me and then turns away to talk to Oliver. What game is he playing now and why do I care?

I just keep glancing at him.

Why is he attracting my attention so much.

I finish school and head home to get changed ready for work.

I arrive and get shown around and then get straight into it. I have been working since dad left. Trying to help mum out of the massive financial hole dad left us in.

I fit straight in. I am 3 hours in when I walk to the next table. I look up from the tablet.

"What can I get for……..ohh"

I roll my eyes.
