Chapter 5

JUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW:

Where am I? Why am I here?

Those were the questions that I had in mind until the memories from last night came flashing back into my mind.

'P-Please have sex with me...'

I mentally screamed and I covered my face with my hands as I felt my blood rushing to my face.

That was really embarrassing! I don't want to see that man ever again. So embarrassing!!

I went out of the bedroom and closed the door slowly. As I was about to leave, I saw him lying on the sofa. I took a few steps closer to him and stared at his face.

He has thick light brown hair, bushy and perfectly shaped eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, a tall nose, and red lips with a bigger lower lip that looked like it was bleeding just hours ago. His jawline was sharp, and I could see from his figure that he works out because his body looks so lean and muscular.

Damn it. How is he so handsome?

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, and slowly walked to the door to leave his apartment.

I know he only meant well for me and he did not even lay a finger on me, but I can't help but feel wary towards him. After all, he is an alpha and I'm an omega.

When I finally got out, I immediately went to the elevator and pressed the button. I kept glancing at his unit's door from time to time to see if he noticed that I wasn't there anymore and that he's not after me.

"Ting!" I stepped inside the elevator right away as soon as it opened. I let out a sigh of relief since I could finally leave without him noticing.

I went back home right away and as soon as I opened the door, Daryl came running to me. "Where were you last night? You weren't even answering my calls. I was worried sick!" He said as he wrapped his arms around me. "I'm sorry..." I whispered as I hugged him back. He pushed me slightly and glared at me while eyeing me from head to toe. "Were you with an alpha?" He asked while looking at me intently.

What should I do? What should I say?

"I uh... I g-got my first heat yesterday," I stuttered and bit my lower lip. "What?! Did you do it with that alpha?" He said as he held my shoulders. I looked away and said, "No."

"Then why are you looking away from me?" He said as he moved his face, trying to make eye contact with me. "I'm just... embarrassed because of my behavior yesterday," I said and cleared my throat. He held my chin and turned my face so he could look at me.

"Tell me everything in detail."

*****

"What?! He did not even lay a single finger on you?!" He said as he looked at me with wide eyes. I nodded and looked away.

Well, it's not like I would have preferred it if he did something to me, but this kinda hurts my pride. Were my pheromones that weak? Or was I just too unattractive for him?

"What you're thinking is literally written all over your face," Daryl said and sighed. "Look, Jus. No alpha could ever resist an omega as pretty as you, okay? Maybe he just has an eccentric taste," he said as he held my shoulders. I removed his hands from my shoulders and said, "Come on, Dar. He must have found me unattractive. You don't have to say such things just to make me feel better." He shook his head and said, "No, no, no! I'm not lying at all. You know, if I was an alpha, I'd definitely hit on you and I won't stop until you become mine."

I just laughed and said, "I said it's alright, Daryl. I'm totally fine with him not doing it with me. That was very gentlemanly of him. I wasn't in the right state of my mind and I basically threw myself at him, yet he managed to control himself. Plus, it's not like I'm that desperate to have a dick inside me." He buried his face on his hands as his whole face turned red. "Please don't say such vulgar things." I could only laugh because of his reaction. "But it's the truth!" I said as I laughed. "Yes, yes. I get it. Now, shut up!" He said and covered his ears.

When he had finally calmed down, we continued talking again. "But it is a relief that he did not do anything to you. Even if you were begging him to do it with you, it still would have been wrong of him do have sex with someone who couldn't even think straight," he said as he leaned his back comfortably against the sofa. "Well yes, that's right. But, Dar..." He looked at me as he raised his brow as if questioning why I called his name, "Yeah?" I looked at him and smiled as my eyes trembled. "We're late for class."

He immediately stood up and grabbed his bag. I was about to go and get my bag too, when I suddenly remembered that I brought it with me yesterday and that I don't have it with me right now.

"Shit." I whispered to myself when I realized that maybe I left if at that alpha's condo. I ran after Daryl and we impatiently waited for the elevator. We immediately went inside the elevator as it opened and headed to the parking space outside the condo. We went inside his car and he started the engine to drive to our university.

"This is why I hate morning classes," he grumbled as he was glaring at the road. He looks like he's in a bad mood right now, so I guess it would be bad if he knew I lost his laptop. Well technically, it's not lost since I know where it is, but I don't want to go there again. But... even if he's in a bad mood I guess I should still tell him the truth. "Daryl," I called his name and he glanced at me. "I... I think I left your laptop at that alpha's condo. I'm sorry," I said as I lowered my head.

"What?!"
