Rejected You Alpha, for A Beast
Chapter 41

NICK’S POV

—

Striding out of that club is humiliating. Never in my entire life have I been asked to leave the premises, not until Nathaniel owned the only good club in the city…

“Can you hurry up?” Tiffany sneers at me as she hugs herself. “Take my jacket.” I start to take it off and she huffs, “No! I am so tired of this happening.” She seethes.

“It was only tonight.” I sigh as I rummage in my bags for my keys. “No, this happens to me a lot.” Her eyes almost pop out of her head as she stares with wide duh eyes.

“What?” I frown at her in confusion. She is making no sense, has she been thrown out of more places prior than tonight?

“Oh never mind!” She bellows as she lifts her heel and smashes it into the solid concrete below our feet and the snapping sound makes her gasp. I muffle my laugh as my eyes are fixed on the broken heel of her shoe and after she stares down at it for a rather long time, her bottom l*p starts to tremble as death swirls in her eyes.

“These are new shoes!” She screeches, my ear drums almost bursting. “Then why would you risk breaking them?” I sigh and bend down in front of her. My fingers wrap around her ankles, my other hand holding her calf. Her skin is so smooth, like a thick layer of soft cream was smeared over her flesh.

“What are you doing?” She whines like a tired child, but she’s my tired child and I will always love her with every beat of my heart.

“I am seeing if I can get it fixed for you.” I raise her foot and I inspect the broken shoe carefully, realizing that the only problem was is that the heel itself has snapped off, buy it looks fixable.

“Fixed?” She scoffs and I glance up at her, raising my brow at her, “Yes.” I deadpan. I am not afraid of her, she acts tough but deep inside, she’s soft, kind and scared. I want her to be happy, but I also need to ground her to the earth before she zaps away into the luxurious world that she thinks she owns.

“No, I don’t fix things.” She tosses her dark hair over her shoulder. “I will do it for you, it’s better than buying the same pair.” I shrug and I stand up from being bent down in front of her.

“How is fixing these clearly defective shoes any better than going to a mall and buying a brand new pair that doesn’t smell like feet, it’s all shiny and new?”’she stares up at me, her ocean orbs flicking between mine as she looks for an answer in my orbs.

“Because first off, it saves money and time. Second, you don’t have to worry about getting sores because these shoes are already worn in and I bet you won’t replace the exact same pair of those because they look one in a million or it’s just because you are wearing them.” I shrug with a grin on my face and she erupts into a giggle that makes my heart flutter uncontrollably.

Even though this night has been nothing but a disaster, I still got her to smile and blush.

“Let’s go home?” I ask with a raised brow and she nods. I scoop her off her feet before she could take a step.

I put her in the car and on our way home, we drive by this old diner that I took Jessica to on our first date.

It looks exactly like it did still, it looks freshly painted and clean. I wonder if they still have those amazing desserts…

Before I could stop myself, I turn the car’s blinker on and swerve into the parking lot that consists of dirt ground and pebbles.

“Eww, what is this place?” Tiffany looks down at it because it isn’t something that looks expensive, but wait until she tastes those damn chocolate desserts.

“A diner.” , “A what?” She scoffs, acting so highly of herself. I don’t know her that well, that I know, but I can feel her…I can feel everything she feels, especially because she is so open about it.

I can feel that she is a good person, with a very big heart and how sad she feels when I don’t understand her. I want to get to know my girl and not listen to whatever anybody says, but to ignore whatever Jessica has to say is going to be difficult, we’ve been together for ages, I can’t just stop loving her, I wish I could just shut my feelings off for her like she did with me. Hell one day she wants me and the next I am nothing and then after that, I’m even less.

She has more respect for the dirt she walks on than what she has for me.

She probably likes Tiffany more than me.

Wait, no- that won’t ever be possible.

Walking into the diner, everything is still berry red and very beige, a beautiful combination especially with the lights.

It feels retro, something from the old days, something that my heart is longing to.

I take it all in as we stand in the door, glancing around the multiple table booths, the cool music playing has me thinking back to a night Jess and I were here, we were having a blast. We spent the entire night dancing, nothing more and nothing less.

We were living life as teens, we were the it couple of the pack and now…now she’s gone and I need to move on.

Tiffany and I sit at a booth, she’s sitting right across from me, her heels kicked out and she’s rubbing her feet against my shoes. I think that she’s trying to be romantic, but it’s not that cute in a diner.

I love this diner, but Goddess I would never take my shoes off in here, even if my legs were broken and straight, not even close to touching the floor, I wouldn’t.

“What are you staring at?” Tiffany asks as her ocean orbs bore into the side of my head. “Huh?” I blink several times as I try to pry my eyes from the dance floor.
