Chapter 66: Chapter 66

The shopping day ended with the trunk of the car and the back seat filled with numerous bags. For sure Pamela and I let go and it was really good, especially for me who had met Jessy and was a little tormented by his words.

Now that I think about it, I feel uncomfortable again and I don't like it.

I sighed before feeling Pamela's hand on my shoulder. She had kept her gaze fixed on the road but I could see by the marked frown on her eyebrows that she was concerned and this by none other than my attitude.

"Hey, are you sure you're okay? Ever since I found you in that alley you seem a little west. Even when it was necessary to choose items in the shops we visited, you were absent. If you have a problem you know you can confide it to me. I know we haven't known each other long but I see you as a dear friend and I'm sure you'll be my best friend... I'd like it to be mutual too."

I bit my lip lightly as Jessy's words continued to race through my mind. It's not good to get close to so many people that I have to force myself to hate but at the same time, I just can't get myself to resent them just for being in a pack. It would be abusive discrimination and I would be no better than racists or homophobes.

It's not the group that defines the individual and I can't judge someone because they belong to a certain group.

I thought of those kind and patient people who treat me like a full member of their family and I thought of Jessy. He indeed wanted to help me when we met and that I owe him a lot, but I just can't be a sheep yes - yes to everything he tells me.

He says I am naive. That may be true but I am also a person with feelings and I don't want to be unfair.

I sighed before putting my hand on Pamela's one, she's a bright person.

I don't know what she'll think of me if she discovers the dark thoughts I have. I want to preserve this new friendship.

" Ah, I'm sorry it's just that I feel a little exhausted and heavy but it's good. I'm going to get some sleep and tomorrow I'll be in better shape."

Pamela smiled before gripping the steering wheel with both hands.

" Ah, because it was already worrying me to see you with that gloomy face, I thought you had had a bad encounter in that alley... With that beggar."

I swallowed hard, that way of speaking sounded like Pamela was having doubts about my excuse and finally, I shook my head.

" No, it's just the fatigue of the day before, I promise."

" I guess... Well let's talk about something else"

Indeed it was better to talk about something else.

" Yes like what?"

I saw Pamela's smile lengthen and her eyes pinch as she almost giggled.

" I imagine the face of your boss tomorrow in the new clothes and accessories you bought today. I feel like someone is going to have a heart attack."

I blushed before scratching my cheek.

" What are you talking about Pam... He's my boss and I'm in a relationship…"

I stammered the embarrassment taking me. Frankly, I already feel guilty enough about the kiss the day before, so don't add to it.

Pamela also gasped, having forgotten that Sophia didn't know that Greg and her alpha were the same. Shit, she almost made a mistake.

"Oh no, I didn't mean to say it that way. I just wanna say, it's Greg Travis anyway... He's famous and you gotta admit he's a hot dude."

I chuckled. That's not wrong, Greg is a true work of art.

" But come on, it's not good to talk like that Pam... What would dear Rayan say if he heard it?"

Pamela started laughing as she started talking again.

" Go stop go... It's like a celebrity whose portrait we hang in his room. It seems to me that you have heaps of posters of K-pop stars in your room. That does not mean that you don't love your darling. I love Rayan, he is everything to me but I also know how to admire beautiful things when I see them and Greg Travis is one of them."

I joined Pamela in her giggles realizing that we are not so different from each other. I too love beautiful things and you have to admit that Greg is above the rest.

" Yes I admit, my boss is hot ... But hey if you have to admit my alpha is sexier."

" Oh yes?"

Pamela's subjective gaze made me blush as I tucked a lock of hair behind my ear.

" Hm .. yes he has an impressive physique…"

I know that Greg too if I remember two years ago but I just can't tell Paméla otherwise she'll be suspicious.

Pamela looked at me out of the corner of her eye before giving me an enigmatic smile.

She could understand a little Sophia's tugging since she is between her love for her alpha and the one with her ex when the two are the same and unique person.

Frankly, Greg is a pervert, she would like Sophia to give her a good pair of slaps when she knows the truth, it will teach him to have fun with the feelings of a young girl.

We drove home and I felt more relaxed. Pamela is a true pacifist for my troubled mind.

I felt my phone vibrate before grabbing it from my satchel. It was a message from my alpha, I sent him a picture of me in an outfit I tried on earlier. He must be a busy man because it's been two hours since I sent this, but hey, it makes me very happy that he finally answers it.

[ You are so Beautiful, Darling. ]

It wasn't an outlandish response like when Chad complimented me, but damn I felt the butterflies filling my stomach to my chest and my face getting warmer.

" Oh, he answered."

I jumped at Pamela's lustful gaze before putting away my cell phone, embarrassed. I was about to close my satchel when I saw a card I didn't recognize. I held it before reading a phone number inscribed and a small note at the bottom.

{ This is my phone number, call me. Jessy}.
