The Alpha's Daughter novel Chapter 9

I can't believe Roxy hugged me yesterday the whole thing felt so surreal.

I can't believe I hugged her back. It just felt like something that needed to happen.

It just felt like she belonged in my arms. I actually felt like I could protect her from the world.

I was laying in my bed staring at the ceiling thinking about her like a lovesick puppy.

I needed to get up and go take a shower. I groaned lifting the sheets off of me and grabbing my clothes heading to the bathroom.

I walked out of my room almost running into Roxy who was rushing down the hall.

I stepped forward when she was trying to as well. I stepped back when she stepped back .

We did that awkwardly for a good five minutes. Obviously losing a few brain cells along the way.

“If you were heading to the bathroom you can go first” I said and she shook her head.

“You can go ahead you were heading there before me," She said, turning away before I yet again insisted she go on ahead .

After another couple of awkward minutes of us debating we finally decided that she should go first.

I waited for her to finish up in the bathroom and I walked in soon after her.

I turned on the water stepping inside letting it fall down my face. I hope it doesn’t stay that way between me and Roxy forever.

Why was it like that now anyways was it the hug?

Was Roxy not telling me something that involved me?

I sighed finishing up my shower and stepping out to get dressed.

I opened the door and saw Roxy's sister Rachel coming towards me.

“Hey cutie” She said and I smiled politely at her yet again trying my best to not come across as agitated.

I'm not about to lie. I hated when Rachel called me cutie. I much rather have Roxy saying it to me.

I tried walking around her but she blocked me positioning herself in the doorway.

“Um can I just pass by please?” I asked trying to sound as politely as I could.

“Do you like my sister” She asked with her hands on her hips and I stared at her a little taken aback.

“Um that's a little random why?” I asked trying my hardest to just walk away.

“I can tell by the way you look at her now do you like her” Rachel asked again a little harsher this time.

I nodded and I swear if this was a cartoon there would be steam coming out her ears.

“Well don't bother she doesn't like you” She said crossing her arms irritably.

I knew it already but hearing it be confirmed by a person so close to her made my heart just crumble to pieces.

I guess I had a little hope but now it was all gone. 

“Yeah but I like you so if you ever want to hang out you know where to find me” Rachel said walking away whilst trying to sway her hips in the process.

I didn't feel like eating. I skipped breakfast and spent most of the morning in my room groaning.

Luckily I didn't have to do anything but clean the bathroom again.
