Alpha Mates

Chapter 17

Julian's P.O.V

"What movie are we watching?" I ask as I sit on the bed watching Aiden scramble to get ready.

"I think Baywatch."

"I heard that was really bad." I reply feeling the urge to not go grow so much stronger.

"Friends, they're important. Let's keep them." He says while holding up two shirts.

"The black one." I say making him smile before putting it on, when he puts on his shades I frown a bit. "Why do you wear shades all the time?"

"Because I want to." He snaps, when he sees my shocked eyes he sighs. "Sorry, it's because the sunlight becomes too much after a while if I don't wear them."

"Sunlight?" I ask in confusion.

"Yeah, I don't want to talk about it." He replies clearly trying to change the topic.

"Does it have something to do with why you're eyes glow red?" I ask as I continue to probe, he studies me for a while before looking away.

"Drop it." He demands as his eyes return my way, I nod slowly deciding to leave it alone for another day. "Ready to go?" He asks holding out a hand.

"Yeah." I say taking it, we leave the suite finding the others waiting patiently downstairs.

"Finally." Beckett groans when they notice our presence.

"We've been here for five minutes, ignore him." Isabel says as she stand up with a lawn chair. "We're sitting outside for the movie, you two can stick in the car."

"Let's go." Emitt says rushing out the house, we waste no time walking behind him.

-------------------

"What do you mean your out of cinnamon sticks!" Emitt shouts from the counter, we all watch in amusement as we eat our pizzas from the corner booth we were seated in.

"I mean there's no more, sir." The cashier responds clearly exhausted.

"Then make some!" He exclaims, the frustration pumping off him in waves.

"Fine!" The guy shouts before walking into the kitchen angrily as Emitt makes his way back to the table.

"A bit too harsh, don't you think?" Aiden asks as Emitt slides into the seat next to him. Before I could let myself react, Aiden moves closer to me squeezing my thigh lightly under the table. I knew he was just trying to be considerate after I told him how I felt about his and Emitt's relationship, but his hand on my thigh just drove me insane instead.

"Not at all." Emitt scoffs bringing my attention back to the conversation, "I paid for cinnamon sticks, so I deserve my cinnamon sticks."

"The movie starts in an hour, so they better be done in thirty." Aiden warns as his strokes my fabric covered skin discreetly. A shudder runs through my body as he continues to caress me with his warm hand, knowing quite well how I'd become if it continued, I remove it quickly.

"Have you guys started your biology project?" Isabel questions making me freeze as my eyes snapped to Aiden who looked just as panicked as I'm sure I did.

"Shit." He mutters as I run my hands through my hair.

"A lots been going on, it slipped our minds." I say in exhaustion, here I thought I had a relatively calm weekend. 

"We have the entire school year so don't start planning our weekend around it." Aiden whispers, I look up at him in shock. "Surprised I knew what you were thinking? You're easy to read."
