In Between The Alphas
Chapter 48

I think one day off was good enough for me because by the next day I felt amazing. I even woke up before Logan and managed to catch him on his way to work out. I may have ogled a bit- just a little bit. "I'm glad you're here today," Samantha said as she came to drop off Amelia, "This one was a little terror to the other girls yesterday."

"Are you serious?" I couldn't help but ask and she nodded.

"She wouldn't let anyone hold her and she refused to take a nap," she said and I looked down at the little girl who was playing with her toys.

I honestly replace it hard to believe that she would be trouble to anyone." I said and Samantha let out a bark of laughter.

"Don't let her innocent looks fool you," she said, She is a troublemaker- gets it from her dad."

Her smile wavered a bit at those words,"

Anyways, I have to get to work. It's good to see you Charlie."

"It's good to see you too Samantha," I said and she gave me a small nod and gave Amelia a little k!ss on her cheek then hurried out of the daycare.

Diana came in a while later with two girls trailing her. They looked relatively young and they looked a bit younger than me- maybe fifteen or sixteen. They both looked very familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Hey Charlie," Diana said, "I'm sure you remember Leila and Kayla."

Hi," I said to both of them, ignoring Diana's remark about remembering them because I didn't.

They usually watch the kids as a summer job, Diana said, "And they were the ones who watched them yesterday."

Instantly I remembered them; they were the ones who watched the kids when Diana took me shopping.

"It's really nice to see you both again." I said and they gave me identical smiles but then Leila's eyes widened as she took in something beside me.

I instantly felt self-conscious and thought there was a bug or something but the closest thing- well person to me was Amelia.

"Are you okay?" I asked but she just poked Kayla who turned to me and her eyes widened. "What's going on?"

"Are you a magician or something?" Kayla blurted out and I raised a brow in confusion,

How did you get Amelia to sit so quietly next to you?"

"Oh," I said with a quick glance at the little girl and shrugged, "She's always quiet with me; she really doesn't bother me much except she wants me to pick her up."

"She lets you pick her up?" She all but screamed and I nodded. "She's adorable but she gave us the most trouble out of everyone because she didn't let anyone else touch her throughout yesterday; she wouldn't nap. Nothing"

I looked at the little girl who must have sensed my eyes because she lifted her eyes to mine and gave me a small toothy smile.

"Her mum told me the exact same thing," I said,

"But I can't imagine her giving anyone any trouble.

"Amelia loves Charlie; in fact, she only falls asleep in her arms," Diana said, "You'll get used of seeing them together."

Well then," Kayla said with a small laugh,

Forgive me if I stare a few times."

It was fun working with the girls. The work was split evenly and we had a lot of free time on our hands- except me though because I spent most of my free time holding Amelia. Each time I tried putting her down she would wake up from her nap and start crying. My holding her she still woke up before everyone and after feeding her she went over to the play mat to play with a few toys.

I wish she would just like me," Leila said with a regardless of small frown.

"She will," I said softly, "I think she's just needs a little more time to get used to you."

"That could be it," she said but she didn't really seem to believe it.

She turned to Kayla and they delved into a conversation and I smiled at how free they were around each other.

Are you guys sisters?" I asked noting their similar hair and eye colors.

Yes we are," Kayla said, "Twins actually."

That's amazing," I said with a smile, "How old are you?"

We're fifteen; but we'll be sixteen in a few weeks.

Well then happy birthday in advance." I said and they both said a quick thank you.

They went back into their conversation and that was when I heard his voice in my head.

"Hey," Logan said softly, Are you busy right now?

Not exactly," I replied, "Do you need something?"

"I was wondering if you could stop by my office," he said and confusion flooded my features.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah; I just need to see you if that's okay."

"Sure," I said softly, "I'll be there in a second.

He severed the link and I saw Diana looking at me with a weird expression and I shot her a 'what expression and she just shrugged.

"Hey, I just need to get out for a second," I said to no one in particular but everyone turned to me, "I just need to step out for a second."

Are you okay?" Kayla asked and I nodded.

Yeah," I said, Il be back in a moment okay."

They just waved me off and went back to their conversation and I rose to my feet and took the path to Logan's office.

I stood in front of his door for a second before finally sighing and knocking. I had barely knocked when he told me to enter and I pushed it open gingerly.

"Hey," I said softly, "Is everything okay?" he just nodded but didn't say anything, "You asked me to come over."

"I just wanted to see you, he said and I raised a brow in confusion, "I wanted to make sure that you were okay after everything."

"I'm fine," I said with a small smile but he shook his head.

"Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying; I'm fine," I said, "I don't exactly know how I feel but right now I'm fine." I continued, "Besides I know you have people trailing me now so I feel sort of safe." "How did you know I had people trailing you?

I'm not stupid," I said in a duh tone, "They do a good job at hiding but I've been followed all my life so I easily notice them.

"If it makes you feel any better they didn't follow you here."

Why not?"

Because you're with me," he said, "And no one can keep you safer than I can."

He stood up from his chair and made his way over to where I was standing and subconsciously I took a few steps backwards.

"Are you scared of me?" he asked and I shook my head. Nervous, maybe but not scared. He took another step and I realized I had my back against the wall. You're still not scared of me."

I nodded again, unsure of where he was going with this conversation.

"Words, Charlotte," he said in a breath, "I need Words.

"I'm not scared of you." I said and he gave me a smile.

"Good." He said then he leaned down and placed the smallest and softest of kisses on my lips.

It was just a peck and nothing more but I felt myself wanting more so I decided to fvck everything else and kiss him back.
