Chapter 164

Chapter 0164 “She hasn’t given me a reason to be jealous.” Alec said after a moment.

“So, you would be okay if a random guy came over here and gave her a hug?” Emmy pushed.

“If a random guy tried to touch her, she would probably throat punch him.” Alec said, without even thinking about it. Emmy grudgingly had to agree to that.

“Whatever. One day, one of you will get jealous and I will be here to laugh and say I told you so.” Emmy stood up and pointed her finger at us. “It will happen and you two.... will have it coming.” She stormed out as Jasper tried to hide his smile but went after her.

“When was the last time she got laid?” Alec asked me.

“Apparently, Jasper isn’t holding up his end of the bargain.” I laughed as Alec finished eating. “Do you get jealous?” I asked.

“Only before we were mates. You didn’t want to open up to me and I had a hard time reading you.” Alec shrugged. I knew there was more. I’m sure he would never admit it but I think Ace made him really jealous.

“Hmm...” That almost sounded like a challenge but I had more respect for him than to make him jealous.

“Don’t you f ucking dare try.” Damit, he caught on.

“ME? I would never do that to you.” I faked being hurt. Alec rolled his eyes at me as he got up and too.

our trash to the trash. I heard some girls giggling a table over, I didn’t realize we had an audience.

“Ready?” Alec asked as he came back and pushed in his chair.

“Yeah. I am.” Standing up, I walked in front of him the whole way to the car. Part of me wanted to take our bikes but if we needed to bring anything back with us, that wouldn’t be good. However, I would be able to tease him this way too. As he pulled out, he floored it, making me toss my phone in the back. “Really?” Alec asked. “That was a tad dramatic.” “Oh, sorry.” I said as I turned around to grab my phone. Shoving my as s over at him, I made it look difficult to get my phone. “Do you need help?” Alec asked after a minute.

“Nope. I got it here.” Sitting back up, I got comfortable again.

“Good.” Alec moved his hand to rest on my thigh.

1/2 “Have you seen my Tor “No, why?”

“Just curious”

“You’re talkative today.” Alec muttered.

“Sorry?” Slightly hurt, I looked out the window.

“I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but you’re acting strange.”

“Stranger than Emmy?”

“No one is stranger than Emmy.” Alec concluded.

“True.” Feeling slightly defeated, I just looked out the window and tried to act sullen and moody like he thought I should be acting. We didn’t talk the rest of the way to the my store. Which, surprised me. I was feeling rather hurt and annoyed but he didn’t comment. Instead, I just kept my mouth shut and when we got there, I went inside without waiting for him.

Everything was there but still wrapped up. The chairs needed assembled, my office laptop was still in its package and there was a layer of dust around everything. Taking a moment to look around, I started with the front. The front desk was taller. Penny got it right with how it would allow me to see the entire shop and still have privacy. Behind it, was my office. It wasn’t large since we didn’t have much room to sta*

with but it was private. A small desk sat against the wall. What surprised me was a blanket covering something in the car corner. It was larger but a sign on it said, ‘Ice-Keep out’.

Moving on, there was a built in 360 mirror beside the bathroom. They had indeed created more room i the bathroom but kept the layout the same. The sage green I had picked was amazing. It was honestly everything I envisioned this being. The cabinets looked great. The ink room was slender but had a ton of shelves. A single countertop was waist high so I could lay out what I needed. This was perfect. Just what I wanted and needed.
