The Alpha’s mate.

Chapter four

“I am just glad you’re finally coming out of your shell, I have been waiting for this time to come all my life. I guess you’re full from the food you guys ate or would you still care for some cake?” Brenda asked.

“Ohhh no! Thanks! I’m perfectly fine”. Leslie said to Brenda as she climbed up the stairs straight to her room. When she got to her room, she took out her phone from her backpack and she threw the backpack away. She quickly sent Derek a text message.

“I just got home. Thanks once more for today!”

It took less than thirty seconds for Derek to reply, “You are welcome and I’m sorry if I made you spend some extra time with me. I hope your mum didn’t scold you?”

“No! She was a bit worried but she calmed down as soon as she got my text. So wyd????” Leslie replied to his text.

“I am still on my way home, I was thinking about today, you really made my day, thanks a lot dear”. Derek replied. As soon as Leslie read the message, she quickly rolled herself on her bed like a six years old kid.

“You’re welcome and you made my day too. I will text you when I am done taking my bath”. She replied to Derek’s text message as she pulled off her clothes and she got into the bath tub to have her bath. While in the bath tub all she could think of was Derek and it was just as if he cast a love spell on her.

It was finally the next morning and for the first time ever, Leslie was excited to go to school not because of the lectures but because of her new found friend Derek. When she got to the class she looked around but she couldn’t find Derek anywhere. She thought maybe he was the type that comes late to class so she decided to wait an hour and still she couldn’t see Derek in class. She took out her cell phone and she sent him a text message but she got no replies from him,

normally Derek replies her message before a minute but this time around there was no reply. She tried calling his number too but it wasn’t connecting and that left her so worried. She kept texting and calling Derek but she couldn’t just get to him and she was so heartbroken and worried.

Leslie could not concentrate on what she was being taught in school because her mind was troubled and she was just hoping that nothing bad happened to Derek. As soon as the bell rang, she took her backpack and she went home immediately.

“How was school today baby? Did you meet your new boyfriend?” Brenda teased Leslie.

“School was horrible mum, I didn’t see Derek in school today too” Leslie replied in a very low tone as tears filled her eyes. She sat close to her mother.

“Did you try calling or texting him?” Brenda asked again.

“I texted him, but I got no replies mum. I tried calling him too mum, but his number doesn’t seem to be connecting. I am really worried mum, I finally found a friend and now he’s nowhere to be found”. Leslie replied as her voice got even lower and sadder. She was trying so hard not to cry. She was alien to the feeling in her heart.

“Don’t you know any of his friends? Or don’t you know where he stays?” Brenda asked as she was taking out the pie from the oven.

“I don’t think Derek speaks with anyone apart from me in class and I just met him yesterday so how am I to know where he stays at mum?” Leslie replied to Brenda and it seems she was getting angry.

“Will you care for some pie baby?” Brenda asked as she noticed that Leslie had begun to boil up.

“No mum, I’m okay thanks” Leslie said to Brenda as she was heading upstairs straight to her room with a gloomy mood.

When she got to her room she kept on asking herself “ where might he be? Why will he make friends with me just to ditch me off the next day?” She kept on trying his number but it was not going through.

This continued for a week and Leslie started to give up on seeing him again. She was really mad at herself for allowing a stranger into her heart that easily but she felt there was something special about Derek and that was why they easily connected without any stress. When Leslie got home that night, she was watching the news with Roger and Brenda and the reports showed that their have been some sightings of dead bodies in Luton town with each of the bodies having two holes on their neck as if they were bitten by something so it was advisable for everyone to stay indoors during the night time at Luton town.

When Leslie went to school the next morning, the news was trending about the dead bodies that was found in Luton town. Leslie wasn’t really interested in the news because she was still hurt by the fact that she couldn’t see Derek and it’s been more than a week. She continued her usual boring life of reading novels because she had no friend. She goes to school, comes back home and read novels. It was a repeated cycle that kept on happening because Derek was nowhere to be found. Leslie decided to delete Derek’s number because she felt it was deteriorating her mental health and she hated the fact that she couldn’t stop thinking about him. She had to take a brave step and that was by deleting his number and clearing the messages they had sent to each other on the first day.
