"Nothing baby I'm happy to hear your thoughts on this. I like that you want to share your input and your ideas. After all this is your pack to and I'm glad you're finally taking an interest".
I always wanted to take interest in the pack, but the timing was never right and not to mention I didn't exactly feel I had the authority to do so. But now, now I didn't give a shit about what people thought of me. This was my pack; my home and I'll be damned if I was going to sit back and keep my mouth shut any longer.
"But I do think Rocco needs a well-deserved break. Maybe even put him on early morning or midafternoon?".
"I moved Alanna to midafternoon". He spoke.
"Because she hates morning and nights". I rolled my eyes. "I swear if she could she'd opt out of doing it all together".
"Probably". He grinned.
"Did you manage to talk to her?". I knew she wasn't having the best time right now, but I didn't want to get involved in case she thought I was trying to fix everything.
I still can't believe she said that, but I would be here for her when she needed me to be.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"She brushed me off. Told me she wasn't talking to me about stuff that was none of my business. I swear if she wasn't my sister I'd have knocked her out by now".
"Were you genuine about it though? Did you show her you were concerned?".
"I might have told her to straighten her face". He scratched the back of his head.
"Jake". I sighed as there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it". He grinned.
I was starving. Heading into the kitchen I fixed us both a drink and got two plates from the cupboard.
"What kind did you order?". I turned to head back into the living room the smell of pizza making my stomach growl.
"Large pepperoni and a large cheese. I got a side of wings too". He sat the boxes on the coffee table as I placed down our drinks.
"Should we watch a film?". I asked sitting down beside him.
"How longs it been since we've done this?". He asked.
"Seeing as you're always running about the woods at night, I'd say a while". I teased.
"I do that a lot don't I?". He grabbed a slice of pizza taking a bite.
"Maybe just a little". I scrolled through the movies on Netflix stopping when I landed on the notebook. "Should we watch this?".
"I think we need to have more nights like this. I'm sorry for always coming home late babe".
"It's okay". I shrugged. "I get you have to do it". I took a bite of my pizza before adding a few wings to my plate.
"I'm serious though babe I'll do better".
"Okay". I smiled.
Jake fell asleep halfway through the movie. Snoring his head off beside me I moved his legs gently so I could get rid of the plates and turn the tv off. It wasn't late but it was late enough to go to bed.
I took the plates into the kitchen and placed them in the sink. I made sure the back door was locked before I took a bottle of water from the fridge. Turning off the lights I walked towards the front door making sure to lock that also.
I still got a little paranoid when it came to the house being secure at night.
"Jake". I shoved his arm but got nothing back.
He was wiped and I'm surprised he lasted this long. My gran stopping by stopped him from getting much of a sleep and he had been out all night.
"Jake". I whispered shoving on his arm again.
This time I got a groan before his hand came up rubbing at his eyes.
"What time is it?". He yawned.
"Almost 11 I'm going up to bed are you coming?".
"Yeah, babe head up I'll be there in a minute". Another yawn fell from his lips before he placed his arm over his eyes.
Yeah, I had a feeling he wasn't moving from that couch tonight. Once again, I checked both doors before heading upstairs to our bedroom. I headed into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth and by the time I was done Jake had made it upstairs. "I'm beat". He yawned. "Sorry I fell asleep babe". He bypassed me and went into our bathroom.
I climbed into bed fixing my pillows before laying down. I checked my phone; a message from my gran was sitting there. She had sent it early today but instead of reading it I placed my phone on the nightstand and turned away from it. I would read it tomorrow.
Jake climbed into bed pulling me against him, so I was laying across his chest. As he kissed the top of my head, I closed my eyes feeling myself drift off to sleep. This is what I loved. When we were home together and going to bed together. There weren't many nights where that happened but tonight was one of them.
"Leah". He mumbled.
"Hm?". I whispered.
"I love you so much babe".
I couldn't hide my grin. With my eyes still closed I lifted my head my lips finding his.
"I love you too".
