02: Finding The Alpha's Mate

MILO

Every time I pass by the plaza I only think of one thing. Why is everyone I saw in this place seem to be waiting for someone? Well, it's rumored in our town that the plaza is said to be the nest of whore, sluts, cougar, callboy, whatever they call those people who sell their bodies in exchange for money. It's such a petty that some people sell their bodies in exchange for some money but then if that's the only thing that keeps their tummy full then who am I to judge? Everyone has a story to tell.

I was inside the McDonald's right now, eating my burger and fries while watching these people in the plaza, the store was just opposite the plaza which gives me more access to what these horny bunch of people was doing. I felt hungry earlier so I stop by the store the moment I was done with the enrollment, this is the last day of enrollment and I already expected that there will be a long queue at the school registrar. I am now a sophomore at Chance Harbor University and whether I admit it or not, my smile couldn't hide the excitement I am feeling right now, I love going to my school because I feel like I'm safer there than in my own house.

"Can I sit next to you?" My brows furrowed looking at the man in front of me, he's fucking tall which I think he's about six foot and eleven inches, he was holding a tray that was full of foods, but what caught me is his muscular body and handsome face, it's the first thing that I noticed about him. I don't know but I was suddenly stunned by his handsomeness, his eyes were dark and hollow which adds to his mysterious aura, his nose was pointed and I suddenly felt jealous, and his thin lips it makes me wonder how it feels kissing those lips.

Wait! What the fuck? Did I just think of kissing this guy?

"Excuse me? Do you mind?" He suddenly asked when he noticed that I was dumbfounded by his looks. Fuck! I can feel my cheeks blushing in embarrassment, I hope he didn't notice that I was ogling at him.

"Ah. S-sorry, y-you can take the seat." I replied and lowered my head out of shame at the same time reaching for the french fries to keep myself busy. I saw him through my peripheral view as he sat on the seat in front of me and he then placed his foods on the table. Every time I tried to glance in his direction I gound him staring and I can't help but gulped because I was trying to imagine every possible reason why he's staring at me too.

"You want some?" Suddenly he handed me a bag of a cheeseburger.

"A-ah. N-no thanks." I replied stuttering. What is happening to me? Why am I stuttering in front of this man?

"The name is Travis." He said and smile slightly at me. I was left shocked and stunned because I didn't expect him to introduce himself to me, I mean all I thought is just he's gonna seat and eat his food in silence just like what I'm doing and then leave whenever he's done with his foods.

"Milo, my name is Milo," I answered and returned the smile he's giving me.

"Thanks for sharing your table by the way." He said as he stands up and when I look at his tray my brows furrowed because it was already empty which means he's done eating all his foods. For some unknown reason, I don't want him to leave me here alone but I just nodded and couldn't do anything but followed him with my glances as he makes his way out of the store. I can't believe he's done already when in fact he ordered much more foods compared to me.

When I could no longer see the man who identified himself as Travis, I turned my attention back to the plaza. A few minutes later, my phone suddenly rang, it was my best friend sending me a message. When I opened the message, he was just reminding me to go home early today. I put my phone back in my pocket and slowly left the store.

While waiting for my ride, I saw Travis entering his mini cooper, he must be rich for having that. I heaved a sigh when I saw a taxi coming on my way but then when the taxi was about to park, someone, overtake the taxi which caused me to step back immediately in fear that I might get hit by a fucking car.

"Wanna hop in?" I heard a familiar voice so I slowly open my eyes only to see Travis looking at me with a confused face.

"Are you okay? You wanna hop in?" He asked me again and for some inexplicable reason, I suddenly nodded so Travis quickly open the door of his mini cooper. Without having second thoughts which I find pretty weird, I suddenly walked towards his car and get in. When I already wear the seatbelt, Travis started the engine of his car and drove away.

Fuck! Now, I'm having goosebumps, did I just come with a stranger? This is fucking creepy and at the same time scary.

"Don't worry you're safe with me." He said when he noticed the horror in my face, he took a glance at me for a moment and turned his attention back to the road. My friend will probably slap me if I told him that this man told me not to fucking worry because I'm safe with him and I fucking believe him.

"Where should I drop you?" He asked without looking at me, his eyes were looking straight in the road.

"You can drop me at South Ville, Block 14. Thank you." I said softly. As I think about what just happened, I can't help but wonder, I'm not the type who goes with anyone so I'm very surprised that I immediately said yes to Travis when he volunteered to take me home. It feels like there is a bond holding us the first time our eyes met.

"We're here." He said making me look over the window only to find out that we're already in front of my house, so I quickly get out of his car.

"Thanks for taking me home, Travis," I said my thanks and slowly wave my hand to bid him goodbye. He just smiles and waves back at me then he starts the engine. I look at his mini cooper as it gets smaller and smaller as Travis drove away.

I heaved a sigh of frustration looking at the old house in front of me, I was contemplating if I should come in or not. I hate going home, I don't like it because of its deafening silence. I don't want to get in because I know my tears will just trickle down my eyes without warning. Memories will just strike me to death.
