We rush out of the building, grateful that no one seems to be around, and head in the direction we last saw everyone.
They’re not there anymore, but we do see them a few blocks down.
As we run, I’m filled with this happiness I’ll never get enough of.
We’re out of breath by the time we make it back to the group.
Lulu looks back over her shoulder. “Why are you two out of breath?” she asks, frowning at us.
Brady and I look at one another and burst out laughing. They really had no idea we were gone this whole time.
I don’t know if I should be offended or grateful.
“Sorry, fell behind a bit.” Brady wraps his arm around me, kissing the top of my head. “But we’re good now.”
Lulu’s eyes drop to my neck and widen. Grinning, I give my head a small shake, letting her know we will talk about it later.
She grins widely, a happy look in her eyes, before turning back to listen to the tour guide.
Hands down, best birthday ever.
Chapter 23
Lulu
To say I’m spoiled by my pack would be an understatement. Four lovers and a new best friend. I feel like the richest Omega alive.
The only complaint I have is that we have to hide the fact we’re packed up with Ally. At first, I liked the idea of just enjoying our time together because everything was so new and I didn’t want being hounded by the media to get in the way of that.
But then there are days like today, where she’s doing something for work and we have to hang out in the background rather than being by her side.
I’m a little jealous as I watch Liam stand behind her, Nate nearby smiling as he helps move along the crowd of people lined up to see the band.
They’re doing a meet and greet before their concert tomorrow and things have been kind of hectic. I haven’t really had any alone time with her in a few days and I’m starting to get needy.
Like I said, I’m spoiled, and all I want to do is be near my Alphas and Ally.
“If you stare at them any harder, you're going to make them burst into flames,” Gavin chuckles, wrapping his arms around me from behind.
We’re on the second floor, overlooking the space where their set is. I wanted a better view, because yes, I’m a stalker. I own it. She knows and it’s a turn on.
“I’m jealous, okay?” I huff, spinning around to face him and Brady. “At first, I liked the little bubble, hiding from the world and just enjoying all the new things about our relationship. Butthe longer we do this, and the more I hear the rumors about who she’s with, and none of them are me. I want to screamSHE’S MINE!If I have to see one more person shipping her with a random celebrity and go on about how perfect they would be together, I’m going to lose my mind,” I growl.
“She’s sexy when she’s all worked up,” Brady chuckles, bumping shoulders with his brother.
“Guys.” I narrow my eyes at them. “This isn’t funny.”
“I know how you feel.” Brady pulls me into his arms. “I don’t like having to hear about how they wish she would get packed up with these guys and those guys when she’s already ours. At least, they think she’s with Liam and Nate.”
“That’s another thing,” I whine. “They are all excited and happy for them. They aren't going to get this big blow back when we start telling people. What if they are disappointed with us?”
“Who cares what random people think, Little One.” Gavin rubs my cheek with his thumb. I sigh, leaning into his touch.
“Do you want to sit down and talk to Ally about telling the world?” Brady asks. “I’m good with whatever you girls want. I just want everyone to be happy.”
“Yeah.” I blow out a breath. “If Ally is okay with it, I’d like to stop hiding. We don’t have to make some big grand announcement, but I would like to stop hiding in the background like some dirty little secret.”
“Do you really feel that way?” Brady asks, brows furrowing. “You know she doesn’t see you like that at all.”
