(BxB) Alpha with the Hazel Eyes

Chapter 3: Thumb sucker

Kayden smiles and stands," Im fine, just a few bruises. I think Gavin broke Isaias's nose though, it made a sickening crunch when Gavin smacked him in the head with a plank of wood because the fuck wouldnt go down."

My eyes widen and look back at my childhood friend. He flinches as Leo tries to comfort him while on the phone.

Jonas finishes telling off the jackasses and they leave. He shoulders his bag and looks around.

" You like him huh?" Kayden asks, reading me like usual.

" I don't know, I barely know anything about him other than his name," I mumble.

" Thats what makes things interest," He muses.

I roll my eyes, "Until i get killed. "

Kayden simply smiles.

" Oh I dont intend on killing you," Jonas says from behind me.

I jump making him chuckle.

He winks at me then walks over to Isaias. I watch, dumbfounded as he lifts him. Kayden chuckles and picks up his stuff. The cold air nips at me, urging me to follow Kayden.

We collect ourselves as a group, winding up at John and Deshawn's house.

Deshawn brings us drinks and a ice pack for Isaias. Isaias takes it, placing it on his bloodied nose, he's lucky it didn't break. Or at least we don't think it broke.

John deals out a card game. He deals in everyone but me by my request. I can't play cards worth shit. Basically I lose every game and I don't have beginners luck I have beginners misfortune.

I drink my water in place of playing. Legs slip on either side of me as Jonas sits behind me. His chest presses against my back, his arm wrapping around my waist.

I look back at him the moment he leans forward around me to grab his cards. His big doe eyes look at mine then flick down to my lips. He smirks as I look away back at my phone.

" Ooooh, " Leo coos.

I shoot him a glare but he already looks at his cards. John's soft pop music plays in the backround as they organize their cards.

Jonas holds his cards in front of my phone. I lower my phone but he hides it again. I sigh, putting down my phone and leaning back into him.

He flexes against my back and shoulders making me giggle at his annoying behavior.

" An ace? Thank you! " Leo says but I have no idea what he is talking about.

Jonas pushes a card up with his thumb, then puts a two down on a small pile.

I set my head back on his collar. My eyes wander to him, he glances down at me then lays another card down.

Kayden groans in annoyance, " shit...."

Jon laughs, " Top this bitches."

I look at his hand, four hearts and two kings. Deshawn lazily lies down his hand. Isaias sighs and lies down his along with Leo.

" I guess I win, " Jonas says, laying down his hand.

Two aces and two kings with two queens. I look at the cards, confused. Jonas hugs me contently.

" Damn..." Leo mutters.

I take my phone back out as it buzzes on the floor. Jonas takes it and flips through my apps. He opens the camera and takes a picture of us.

For reasons unknown I'm blushing.... He gives me back the phone after doing something and I open the message from Dad.

Dad: When will you be home?

Me: Does an hour sound ok?

Dad: I hope you aren't around those lowlife friends of yours. Especially that boy from another pack, he'll only bring you trouble.

I swallow as Jonas shifts.

Me: they are my friends and are good people

Dad: they will become pack laborers like the patrol, battle or trade workers.

" River, " Jonas whispers.

I look at him, embarrassed. My eyes. Wander to the group, talking to each other ignoring us.

" I should go home..." I mutter.

He sighs, letting me go as I get. I throw on my coat and bag.

" I'll see you all at school," I call back at my friends.

They all wave goodbye but not one. My eyes lock with Jonas's before I walk out the door. Cut him off now before I hurt him.

The sky gets darker as I walk home. I walk along the lamp lit sidewalk, my mind buzzing. Jonas's absent eyes stare at me in my mind. They blink and I shake my head.

The dim light on my porch shines up ahead. I walk up to my house, my dad standing by the window looking around for me. I smile and wave at him. He waves back and waits 'til I come inside.
