Chapter 25: Breakfast Platter.
’This is lame, Bethany. They could wake up anytime now.’ Maria tried to reason.
’They are Alphas, Maria. I can’t make just toast and bacon for them. It barely satisfies me. Besides, you said I wore them out last night. So let’s just say, I’m giving back.’ She replied, rounding up frying the last batch of bacon, nodding in satisfaction at how chewy they had turned out.
’Wow. I never thought I’d see this day.’ Maria chimed giving her a teasing look.
’What do you mean?’ Beth asked, cutting open the the pancake mix and pouring the quantity she needed in a bowl.
’You are not usually like this. You are very uptight and always overthinking and mistrusting and many other things that is definitely not this, so yeah, I never thought I’d see the day you’d stand in a hoodie, listening to Britney Spears, cooking a breakfast platter.’ Maria stated.
Bethany sighed, pausing her mixing for a moment before picking up again.
’I’ve never really had friends, Maria and I’ve always been alone, except for you of course and Dad and Mom, but that doesn’t exactly count and you know that.’
’Wow. That hurt.’ Maria said, licking her paws.
’You know what I mean, M. All I’m trying to say is, I’ve been given a chance at this. And Yes, I don’t exactly know what our dynamic is or is going to or supposed to be, neither are my ready to face everyone with this development. But I know one thing, which is that, asides from the mate bond, I want to keep up this chemistry, this connection. It doesn’t mean I’m going to be like that to everyone else. I’m still Bethany Sage, the freak to everyone else.’
’You’re not a freak, though.’ Maria pointed out.
’I know, M. But that doesn’t mean they don’t see me as one. Well I just want to enjoy my bubble, ma’am. Is that okay?’
