Chapter 55: Hero
Rory
Returning back to work today made me feel like a little bit of normalcy had returned back into my life, so I had a little bounce in my steps this morning. Of course, I wasn’t fully comfortable with sleeping alone in my apartment especially since laying on that bed reminded me of Trevor hovering over me with hatred and rage dancing in his eyes.
My standoffish boss was even relieved at my return and he hoped I was doing fine, since I told him about what happened before asking if I could take a few days off.
As I began to serve tables, I soon lose myself to the now familiar routine.
I was serving tables after tables and after a few hours, I was massaging my back when I felt a prickle behind my neck along with a familiar scent, one which reminded me of Trevor. I instantly whirled around but I ended up finding nothing. However, that little moment made me tense up and get filled with a little worry as I resumed my tasks.
I was able to finally get the thoughts of Trevor out of my mind when Kenny resurfaced in my mind. I felt warmth tickle the inside of my chest and stomach as thoughts of him washed over my limbs. It’s been only a day but it felt like weeks, and didn’t even believe I’d miss him this much until I was currently experiencing it.
The fact that Kenny’s scent still lingered on my body and was mixed with mine made a smile tug at my face as I waited on a table to order. After I came into work, two co workers who I was a little familiar with all wiggled their brows at me and it was definitely because they picked up the Alpha’s scent on me which was now blended with mine.
This was because I nested throughout the days I spent At Kenny’s house, with shirts and blankets that carried a lot of his scents. As I was returning back home yesterday, I snuck in a few of his shirts and I believed he must have noticed that at this point but I was grateful for the fact that he acted oblivious. I only did that because I wanted to take a bit of him along with me, and so that I can still have his scent on me long after I return home.
It was still surprising me how I was easily able to fall in love with his scent. For someone who believed he has always has a sensitive nose, I wasn’t taking long to get smitten with some scent. The only time this had happened was with Jason’s scent a few months ago.
