Chapter 242

Aaron 6- Plus one and prompting

The next few weekends follow a predictable pattern. | would watch all of Penelope’s performances, she would stop by afterwardsand say hi to me and chat for a few then | would walk her to her car and say goodnight. | spend my whole week looking forwardto the weekend and more and more | wish I could spend time with Penelope elsewhere. Maybe get dinner. | was thinking how itwould be interesting to see her interact with my sisters and how I'd enjoy showing her around the Shifter compound. | show herthe Cock Tales group chat one night and | wonder what it would be like if she was part of the group, what comments she wouldcontribute. The Alpha’s wedding is coming up soon and | imagine. what it would be like having someone to attend it with me.Penelope is the type of person who gets along with everyone so | can’t imagine that she would have any difficulties fitting in,unlike me. I've never minded being alone, but | enjoy spending time with Penelope and hearing what she has to say, and | wantto tell her things too. To share the gossip | hear from the group chats or the observations I'v

been making about our various friend’s relationships. 1 | want to tell her about the time | had to watch the two Alpha’s avoid eachother for months while they figured out their feelings. But | have no idea what she wants from me. | don’t know how to start tellingher these things, or how to bring them up. So | just stay quiet, answering when she asks me something and hoping that maybeshe will ask something that will allow me to express what | actually want. It’s not that | want to change how | am, | just want achance to share it more.

It's a Saturday evening, although not too late yet. | am out taking Alpha Ryann to meet up with Alpha Kane. We're walkingthrough a shopping district that is open late for the more nocturnal types of Magics and waiting for him to turn up. I’m hoping itwill be soon so that | will have time to go see Penelope’s performance. She’s probably at the club getting ready now. It’s not toofar from here so as long as Alpha Kane doesn’t take too much longer | can probably still make it on time. I’m doing my best to notshow my impatience as we walk together, but it might be showing a little because Alpha Ryann has been watching me closely fora few minutes now and she seems suspicious and distracted. When | go to meet her gaze she looks away and off into thedistance, briefly tripping over. She steadies herself with her light grip on my arm and her eyes dart back to me again then awayas she focuses on walking safely.

“So Aaron, I’ve been wondering... Do you have a plus one for my wedding? A girlfriend or a close friend you could ask? | meanMegan and Darrien will be going together. Shaun will be with Amber and I’m sure that Harry will be harassing Cam for the wholeday. Alex told me he

plans to attend alone but | haven’t checked with you yet. It would be a shame for spend the whole time by yourself, although youhave to promise to save me a dance.” She adds casually. Almost too casually actually. | consider how to answer. | DID think ofasking Penelope, but we haven't even interacted outside of the club. Taking her to a huge wedding event might be asking a littlemuch at this point. | haven’t even managed to ask her for a drink, and we spend all our time INA BAR. She did give me hernumber so | could text her, maybe find a way to casually mention the wedding... But no. It would be completely out of the blueand | don’t want to make things weird. | take too long to answer and Alpha Ryann decides to speak again..

“You know any girl would be lucky to have you.” She prompts. | shrug my shoulders in a noncommittal gesture. Alpha Ryann rollsher eyes at me, clearly that wasn’t the response she was hoping for,

“You know, I’ve noticed that you've been tried lately, and kind of distracted. Sometimes pretty eager to leave work too. Are yousure there’s no lovely Shifter lady that has caught your eye?” She pushes on. | shake my head quickly. It’s not a lie, Penelopeisn't a Shifter. Alpha Ryann isn’t dissuaded.

“No? Well what about a NON Shifter lady?” She continues. | freeze up and tense, She can. obviously feel it with her hand on myarm. Before | can blink she’s stopped walking and has stepped to face me properly.

“| KNEW it!” She bounces excitedly.

“Who is the girl? What is she? When can | meet her?” She blurts out question after question not leaving time for me to answereven if | did know what to say. | stare at her helplessly. She is caught up in her excitement and | doubt she will be satisfied with ashrug or non-answer.

“When are you seeing her next?” She tries again. Almost unconsciously, | look in the general direction of the club where | knowPenelope must be. Alpha Ryann follows my gaze and her eyes go out of focus for a moment then narrow thoughifully.

She is pulled from her thoughts by the arrival of Alpha Kane who immediately pulls her into his arms and tight against his chest.He lets out a deep sigh that almost seems like relief to have her back at his side.

“Aaron you should finish for the night. Actually, take tomorrow off too, You've been working too much lately. | suspect you havebetter things to do.” She tells me with a cheeky grin. I’m a little embarrassed, but letting me leave now means | can make theperformance and I'll have plenty of time tomorrow too. | could even get dinner first, | give a deep nod.

“Thank you Alpha.” | tell her seriously,hoping she can se haw, muah aereciaecthie Gtk , Alpha Ryannrugs. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
