CHAPTER 3
1109 Words
After dinner Beau helped me with the dishes and cleaning up and everything and then he had to get going and I made sure all the doors were locked and I went upstairs to my room.
I had a shower and I got dressed into a singlet and shorts and I went to the library and started unpacking my boxes of books until I heard mom finally get home at around 11pm. So I went out to the kitchen to see her.
"You're dinner's in the fridge." I say.
"Fantastic. Thank you so much." She says opening the fridge but then examining the large dish of lasagna. " You must have been hungry." She commented seeing how much was missing.
"I ate the usual amount. I had company." I say. And she closed the fridge door without getting any food looking at me suspiciously.
"You can calm down. It was Beau. The Alpha's little brother. He stopped by to meet me when I got back from buying groceries and that's when you sent me the text saying that you weren't going to be home. So I invited him to stay." I explained.
"What's he like?" She asked.
"Really nice. Funny. We get along great." I say.
"There was nothing about him that felt off? Like at the old school?" She asked.
"No. But they don't know about us like they did at the old school. So, I think he's just going to treat me like any other girl there." I say.
"Good honey. I'm happy if that's how it will be. But remember, just be on guard. You don't want to trust the wrong person." She says.
"Believe me, I've learnt what people not to trust. He didn't seem like any of them. He was really cool." I say. So mom got some dinner out and heated it up and we talked while she ate.
"So, all of the botched procedures that the nurses have done, those patients have made appointments and are coming to the hospital so that I can treat them again and fix what the nurses have done." Mom finished explaining about her day.
"So, a lot of late night?" I asked.
"Yeah. Sorry. I know that we have movie nights on Saturday night and I completely missed it tonight." She says.
"It's alright. You have to work. I get it. We'll make up for it in a few weeks when things settle down." I say.
"Absolutely. Nothing will stop an all night movie binge." She says.
"Alright. I'm gonna finish unpacking the boxes in the library and then I am going to go to bed." I say.
"No worries. I'll hopefully see you in the morning. I have to leave pretty early for a Sunday." She says.
"That's alright. I'm sure we'll still talk." I say and I lean down and kiss her cheek before I leave.
I finished in the library and then I headed upstairs to bed. I read for a little while before I finally fell asleep.
Mom was right. I didn't hear her the next morning and she was gone when I got out of bed at 9am. So I went downstairs and made a coffee and I sat at the table drinking it, trying to wake up properly.
After that I went to the living room and started going through the TV apps until I found a movie that I hadn't seen for a while and decided to watch it while I was lying on the couch.
My phone started going off so I had a look at it.
BEAU - Watcha doing?
ME - Watching a movie.
BEAU - What kind of movie?
ME - A scary movie haha
BEAU - What's your favorite scary movie?
ME - Very original. Like I said last night, cheesy.
BEAU - LOL. Got any plans today?
ME - Nope. Movies. Chill day before I start school tomorrow.
BEAU - Want some company?
ME - Depends. Do you talk the whole way through a movie?
BEAU - Only to piss my brothers off. I won't do it to you.
ME - Ok. You can come over.
BEAU - Wait. You're not watching a chick flick, are you?
ME - Hell no. Rampage with Dwayne Johnson.
BEAU - Start it from the beginning. I love that movie and I am on my way.
I laughed at that so I stopped the movie and I got up to get some snacks and drinks and put them on the coffee table and Beau got there surprisingly fast.
"You're lucky I had only just started watching that movie. If I had gotten too far into it then I wouldn't have restarted it." I admit as I opened the front door.
"Wow. Messaged in time. I thought you'd sleep in on a Sunday." He says coming into the house.
"I don't really sleep in." I say and we walk through to the living room.
"Holy s**t. It's like a movie theater here." He says.
"What can I say? I know how to put on a good movie marathon." I say as we sat on the couch.
"Did you do this a lot back at your other pack?" He asked.
"Every Saturday night with mom. We always had our movie nights." I say.
"But not with your friends?" He asked. I didn't really know how to answer that. I didn't want to lie to him but I didn't want to tell him the truth either.
"Alright. You're talking and you're not meant to be. Shush." I say pressing play on the movie.
We watched that whole movie in silence but I could tell that it was killing Beau to stay silent for that long and I almost started laughing at him a couple of times. But I controlled myself. But once the movie was over, he was talking a mile a minute and I couldn't even understand anything he was saying.
"Oh my god. Stop. You're going to pop a vein or something soon." I yell.
"Sorry. But that was a long movie." He says.
"It's an hour and a half. Oh my god, you're a talker aren't you. I'm never watching movies with you again." I say.
"I'll be good. What's next?" He asked.
"San Andres." I say.
"I'm starting to sense a theme here." He says.
"Hunky Dwayne Johnson. You bet." I say giggling.
"Oh my god. You're lucky he makes good movies." He says.
"No, you're lucky he makes good movies otherwise you would probably be out of here by now." I say.
"Alright. I'll give you that one." He says and I chuckle at him.
