Save Me

Chapter 2 | Chris

I could not seem to get this smell out of my head. For the past couple days it's all I could focus on.

" Earth to Chris. " My best friend, Don, sang poking his head from between the front seats. "You've been distracted , what's up ?"

How could I tell him I was obsessing over the aroma of lilies? He'd think I was going crazy.

   "Nothing, what where you saying ?" I asked instead pulling out of the school parking lot, after having finished a meeting with the coach.

I refrained from grimacing as I felt a hand creep up my lap, landing dangerously close to my groin. Placing my hand on Chelsea's hand to stop it, I glanced over to see her pouty lips.

If Don noticed the movement he didn't comment.

   "I was saying if you had given it more thought if you were returning the the Blackwood's Academy at the end of the school year or if you were going straight into college ?"

The Blackwood's Academy. The Alpha Kings residence where newly trained Alpha Heirs and Beta Heirs would go for their training. The Alpha King Steven had amassed a security empire that super seceded any other security detail in the northern hemisphere. His warriors where highly sought out to secure the elite , from celebrities to business men.

During the winter break Don and I had stayed the two weeks learning a bit more about our roles as future members of the Alpha Order, as well as to brush up on our fighting skills.

   "If you go straight into training, I won't see you." Chelsea gave me her best puppy eyes, her fingers clenching on my thigh.

And won't you miss fucking me... Her voice entered my mind through the pack link.

Mackenzie, Don's younger sister, let out a strangled noice from the back seat. "Geez Chelsea, we heard that. " She grumbled, her nose scrunching up in disgust.

   Chelsea's lips turned up into a smirk as she continued to type on her phone, finally letting her vice grip on my thigh go.

I cleared my throat as I parked into a spot at my favorite diner in town, Big Freds.

"I haven't decided yet." I replied as we made our way inside "I guess I'll see how the rest of the year plays out and then I'll decide."

Don nodded, digesting my words. I knew he was itching to get out of this town and head back to California for training. But he and I were like peas in a pod, and I knew if I chose to go straight to college then he would come along to.

The sweet smell of lilies hit me hard, overpowering the smell of grease.

   "Ya'll find a booth I need to use the bathroom real quick. " With a nod of acknowledgement from them I made my way to the bathroom.

Geez, get a hold of yourself, I thought as I felt the hairs on my arms stand on end.

What was going on with me? Splashing some water on my face to cool my suddenly heated skin, I grabbed a couple napkins to dry my face and hands before making my way to the booth.

   It was the corner booth we always sat at. Our server must have just got the drink order as I slid in next to Chelsea, her face immediately in my neck.
