Chapter 381
“Sorry it’s just for once the drama isn’t Jake and I”. I shrugged.
“Gee thanks. It was horrible, but I wasn’t letting her disrespect me like that. I wasn’t going to sit there and let her put her hands all over Carter. I couldn’t care less if she was the Alpha’s daughter”. “What did Carter do p>
A laugh fell from her lips as she ran a hand down her face. “Nothing because that idiot couldn’t see what I could see. Carter doesn’t know what flirting is”. Many paragraphs are missing. Read the complete book on Job nib.com Rolling her eyes she picked up the menu and placed it back down again. “A girl could walk past naked, and Carter wouldn’t notice p>
“That’s good, isn’t it?”. I wasn’t sure what she was trying to say.
“Yes and no because he couldn’t see what she was doing so I was the crazy one p>
“Ah right”. I nodded. “Been there p>
“I would have knocked the bitch on her a*s p>
“So, what happened p>
“We had a fight. I told him I was coming home with or without him and I genuinely thought I was coming home alone until she tried to kiss him”. “The penny dropped?”. I grinned.
“Oh, the penny hit the fucking floor. But”. She paused. “I didn’t realise they had dated before he found me. She thought they would have been mates”. “Why does this sound so familiar”. I laughed.
“I couldn’t have stayed there, and I don’t know how you done it p>
“With great difficulty. I thought about it though. When everything was going wrong, I thought about packing a bag and running p>
“And now p>
“I have nowhere to run to”. I grinned.
As the server returned, we ordered our food and fell into a comfortable silence. I did often wonder what my life would have been like if I did run. Would he have come after me?
A sigh fell from my lips. What ifs were pointless. I was happy, this was my life now and I had to start making the most of it.
“You would have gone to Yale if you never came here. If you never moved here and met Jake, you’d be at Yale right now p>
“Living my best life”. I rolled my eyes. “Do you think we’d have still met like would he have found me p>
She shrugged. “You moved here because you were meant to move here. Your gran knew exactly what she was doing. As sad as that may sound it’s true p>
“I know”. I agreed. “It’s weird to even think about my gran now. Never did I think this was how everything would have turned out. It was like I met Jake, and she suddenly wasn’t interested in me anymore”. “I’m sure she still cares about you p>
“I haven’t seen or heard from her in months. I’m sure I’m the furthest thing from her mind p>
I hated the way our relationship ended but I was done wasting my time with her. I always thought my gran would have been in my life forever and well now, now I couldn’t see how we could ever fix our relationship. We could never go back to the way we were.
“You could always reach out?” She spoke. “I’m sure she wouldn’t be hard to find p>
“I know where she is, and she knows I’m here. If she wanted to contact me then she would have. I’m not putting myself in that position again. Apparently, I don’t matter to any of my family p>
“Your dad p>
I nodded. “I was supposed to go and stay with him for a few days, get to know him and the other side of my family. The day I was going he messaged not even a phone call a simple message saying now wasn’t the right time”. “You’ve got family Leah p>
“I know I do but it would have been nice to know where I came from”. I shrugged.
“Do you know what I think p>
“What p>
“Fuck the past because it doesn’t matter. It’s all about now the present. I’ve come to realise that life’s too short to f**k around. We deserve to be happy; you deserve to be happy and if your dad and your gran don’t want to be in your life then fuck them to”. A laugh fell from my lips. She sure had a way with words, but she was right. The past will always be the past I couldn’t change it, it was my future I had to focus on. I had to figure out what lay ahead for me. “Let’s get drinks tonight”. I grinned.
