Part 8

Kayden's POV

Oh. My. Gosh.

Jay Kleinhaus was in my house for two days in a row.

I mean, three, if we included the day of his rut.

And it was only eight in the morning right now.

I observed as the male sipped the instant coffee he made for himself, while I tried to make myself a bit more presentable after waking up just about ten minutes ago.

It's not my fault.

He never told me that he was coming today as well, after his visit yesterday.

And I was just thankful that I didn't wake up with a heart attack when I opened my eyes this morning seeing the alpha picking up my clothes from the floor and putting them into the laundry bag.

I almost screamed and hit him actually, because I thought a robber had came into my house or something. He walked around so quietly, I didn't know if that was just how he walked, or he was being considerate of me sleeping.

But, he should've at least notify me that he was coming!

"What's your plan for today?" the alpha broke the silence after both of us said nothing for a few minutes, and I bit my inner cheek a bit before hesitantly answered the question.

"I... I'm going to buy groceries at the nearest market down the road," telling him my plan straight away since I knew that he won't move until he got his answer, I just watched as he thought to himself.

What was he thinking about?

"I'm thinking about going with you," he answered the question in my head just as I finished thinking about it, and I was quite flustered by it.

He's going with me?

For groceries shopping?!

"But –"

"Go get ready. I'll drive you there," he ordered curt like a boss he was, even though he was currently in my house, but I couldn't say no.

Getting up, I walked towards my room and remembered that I didn't have any shirts to wear since all of them was still damp at the hanger after Jay had washed all of them without asking me first.

And the only shirt that I owned was the pajama I was wearing right now, which I won't ever wear to go out.

"Mr. - uh, J-Jay?" almost forgetting his instruction yesterday, I called him slow as I stood in front of my bedroom door, and waited for him to look up to me.

"Hm?" he replied with a hum instead as his eyes still on the small gadget in his hand.

"I don't have any shirt to change into," looking at the alpha the whole time, indirectly also wanting him to realize that his reckless behavior had caused this problem to arise, Jay was quick to understand, and only raised one eyebrow at me in return.

Did I overstep my boundary?

Is he mad now?

He was still my boss after all.

Getting nervous, I nibbled on my bottom lip quietly, as the alpha kept his eyes on me for the next few seconds before voicing out his solution.

"You can wear mine. I saw a few of my shirts in your wardrobe, the ones I left here whenever I came for my...rut," his voice noticeably went slower at the end of his sentence and I was quite curious about the reason behind it, but I was more focused on the fact that he just allowed me to wear his belongings.

"I can wear your shirt?" blurting it out before I could even stop myself due to how shocking that statement was, Jay's gaze got even more focused on me than he ever did before due to my question.

"Sure, why are you so surprised?" he asked like it was such a weird thing to ask, and I just shook my head violently to not dwell more into the topic.

"N-Nothing," escaping the Kleinhaus's stare by closing the bedroom door behind me, I then walked to the said wardrobe, and took out one of the shirts and changed into it.

Jay's remaining scent on the shirt was still evident, making me feel like being engulfed in his arms, and all I felt was giddiness, before feeling embarrassed that I was this happy just to be allowed to wear his shirt.

You're a sad case, Kayden.

"Are you done?" A knock on the door made me ran to open it, only to have Jay's eyes fixed on my body.

And the eyes stayed there for long.

"You look good," he complimented simple after a few seconds being quiet, but I felt my whole body on fire, making me blushed profusely hearing the unexpected compliment coming from his mouth.

Not to mention that his stare was still on my body after the compliment.

"I-I'll be ready in a minute," quickly closing the door again before hearing the man's reply mainly to escape the eyes, I fanned myself with my hands, trying to calm myself.

Get it together, Kayden.

Right away focusing myself back on getting ready, I then chose to wear only shorts because I still felt pain on my lower body, and I just hoped that I was dressed appropriately, also meeting Jay's standard.

"I'm ready. We can go now," getting out of the room and timidly approaching the man who was currently talking to the phone at the moment, I got nervous when cut his call right away after he gave one glance towards my outfit.

Did he not like how I dressed?

"D-Do you have something important to attend? If so, I don't mind going alone," I said referring to his phone call that he just cut off, afraid that I was just being a burden that prevented him from doing his work.

"No, no. Nothing important. It was just John asking something about one of the ongoing projects. But the thing is, are you going to go in that?" he questioned while pointing towards my shorts, and I felt my confidence dropped instantly.

Did I dress too casually?

But we're just going to the mart close to my house.

"I... I'm sorry but I felt uncomfortable wearing long jeans right now. You don't have to go with me if I'm embarrassing you with my outfit –"

"No, it's okay. Let's go." without letting me finish, he cut my words and went to take his coat and keys.

Biting my bottom lip, feeling a bit saddened that there's a probability that Jay was disappointed in how I dressed myself, I said nothing in return and walked towards the main door, locking it once Jay was outside.

We went to the car and I slowly seated myself finding the most comfortable position without saying anything.

After both of us had buckled up and Jay stepped on the pedal, we made our way towards the market with me giving directions to him once in a while.

The whole ride was quiet and kind of awkward, but I didn't comment on anything. Not that I dared to do it, especially because this was the first time I ever ride the car of my alpha.

Once we've arrived, I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and made my way to the mart's entrance after telling Jay to wait for me.

Obviously he just meant to send me to the mart, not shopping together with me for my groceries, right?
