“You’re right.” He gives me a playful grin. He gives someone at the table next to us a wink.
“Would you stop flirting with people, please?” I grumble. “We have an Omega. We don’t need anyone else.”
“Not flirting, I’m just showing my appreciation.”
“Just eat your damn food.” I roll my eyes.
We finish eating and then head back toward the bakery. More people are out now, mulling around town. And more people are staring at us like we don’t belong.
I guess, in a way, we don’t.
“This town gives me cult vibes,” Sloane mutters, pulling a cigarette out and lighting it up. “You think they’re going to trap us here and use us for a blood sacrifice?”
“If anyone is getting sacrificed, it won’t be you. Your blood is poisoned with all the damn nicotine in your system. Would you give me that?” I snatch the cigarette from his lips and throw it on the ground.
“Okay, you need to stop doing that,” he growls.
“Do you want to reek of smoke when we see Lexi?”
“Fine,” he huffs. “But you owe me. Tonight. You, me. We’re breaking that bed in.” He glares at me.
“If you need me to give you a good pounding, that's all you needed to say.” I grin.
He groans. “Yes. Please. That.”
Chuckling, I give him a shove. He laughs and shoves me back.
When we get to the bakery, I’m relieved to find it’s now open.
“Hey,” the girl from yesterday greets. “Your order isn’t quite ready yet. Would you like to come back later?”
“We’ll just wait over here,” Sloane says, taking a table that’s further away from the door.
“Could we get two coffees please?” I ask, not wanting to take up room without ordering anything.
“Of course.” She nods.
“Why here?” I ask, joining him at the table, hidden away.
“Because it’s a perfect view of the door.” He nods his head. “And we’re hidden slightly by the fake plant.”
The woman brings us our coffees, and I thank her.
“So, we just sit and wait?”
“Well, you said you wanted to see her, and she’s not here yet, so yes. Also, it’s not really stalking when we’re also waiting for an order.”
Nodding, I stare at the door, the anticipation killing me.
Come on, little Omega. Please don’t let us have scared you off.
Sloane
“If you stare at the door any longer, you’re going to make it burst into flames.”
Aiden looks away to glare at me. “Fuck off.”
“It’s been two hours, Aiden. We got our donuts nearly an hour ago. I think we have to go, or Emma over there is going to call the cops.”
