Chapter 16

"Calling now to double check and confirm delivery will be during lunch." I smile as I pull the phone up to my ear.

"I'll drive and you can make sure all the arrangements are made."

I confirm my flowers will be delivered during lunch today along with my note. I'm hoping the secret admirer thing isn't too cliche, but I also want to make sure that she knows it's not from Alpha Liam.

The day goes by slowly approaching lunch time. When the bell rings for lunch, I bolt to the lunchroom. I want a front row seat. I need to know how she reacts in order to make sure the plans I have for the rest of the week will work. Otherwise, I'll have to rethink this week. I don't currently have any back up plans, so I'd have to rework and come up with something new if she hates this and throws my flowers away.

Chase goes to grab lunch for both of us as I sit at my usual spot. I watch as she comes in and sits with Lacey and Jason. My stomach has gone queasy waiting to see how this will go. I've never done anything like this before and I really want it to work. I'm barely paying attention to the conversation around me and thankfully, Chase is carrying the conversation for both of us, when a hush falls in the cafeteria. I look up to see the delivery guy looking around at the large number of individuals in the cafeteria. I gave a description of her, but there must be 200 shifters in this room right now.
