Owning Alpha Forth

chapter three

"I think someone is waiting for you outside, P'Pete."

Pete was not expecting anyone today for anything but it's not like this is new to him that someone is waiting for him. He doesn't want to sound like a cocky bastard but he's so used to having someone confess his or her feelings to him after his classes. He just expected that everyone should be done by now because it's already been half of their school year.

He's studying business administration for the sake of his family's wishes. His course is the core of excellence of their university and that gives him an instant spotlight. Aside from being an Alpha, that is. He is considered a "campus prince" just because of those spotlights pointed at him.

It's not like he doesn't want the attention. He's being a hypocrite to himself to say that—of course, he loves the attention.

If he wasn't just burdened by the responsibilities placed upon him for being an Alpha first-born, he wouldn't even put business on his top courses to take. He's excelling this course as he should and business is an enjoyment for him, but this is not where he sees himself in the long run—

He stopped on his tracks when he finally saw the person who is supposed-to-be waiting for him.

"Tin?"

The Alpha smiles and straightens himself before walking to him. "Pete."

Tin is the person who he did all the unforgivable things to. Heavens above, he humiliated this man in public and even they resolved those issues between them, he can't help but to feel bad and awkward. He curses himself mentally. He should get a grip of himself because what's done is done and this man already forgave him.

"W-What are you doing here?"

Tin shoves his hands in his pockets. "I came to ask you for dinner."

Their university has uniforms. For the large amount they pay for their tuition feels, it's needless to say that they should be looked upon by everyone. Every private university like theirs has their uniforms as a symbol of status and as to be easily identified.

He got distracted that this is the first time he really placed his attention to this Alpha's uniform. It's all white—he is from the Allied Health Sciences. He immediately shoved all further thoughts about how this man looks good in his proper uniform.

"Pete?"

"A-Ah, of course!" God, he's hopeless.

Tin smiles like a kid who just received the biggest candy. "Great!"

It all finally sunk into Pete—everything finally got into his damn brain.

"You mean to tell me you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

The dinner was a legit offer and they are here in his favorite restaurant. It was nothing fancy and he really loves the ambiance of this place. Of course, Tin did not know that this place is his favorite place. It just happened that they have the same tastes, and this place is perfect for any private talks. He just really did not expect that there is a private talk that will happen.

Tin gestures his upper lips, telling him there's something to wipe there. "Of course, you remember our faithful encounter, so no need to elaborate on that. The thing is that I made a huge mistake like I told you."

No, this issue is not anywhere this man's mistake. This shouldn't be happening in the first place if he wasn't the one who publicly attacked him so carelessly.
