Mates with Alpha Maddox
Chapter 16: 16
(A/N Jayda on the side played by Candice Swanepoel)
Jayda's POV
I wake up to my phone beeping, signaling I have a text. I look to my right and Maddox isn't laying down next to me,I hear the shower running so i guess he must be showering. Wiping the sleep from my eyes and sitting up on the bed i check the text.
It was from an unknown number.
"Jayda it's Carson, I wanted to know if we are still up for dinner? And if can it be today?" Reads the text.
Thinking about seeing Carson without Maddox knowing fills me with dread. I mean I don't want to go behind Maddox's back but he would have a fit if he finds out.
Sighing I text back:
"Sure Carson, I will tell Ellie and Nikki to be ready. Does 5pm sound okay? I don't want to be out to late"
His reply was instant:
"Oh yeah... Tell them i guess. And 5 sounds perfect"
I don't text back because a reply isn't really needed.
I lay back down on the bed, burying my face in the pillow and groaning.
"You okay Jayda?" I hear Maddox say making me jump. He is wearing pajama pants, guess he is staying with me today.
"Yeah, I am okay, you just startled me" I lie.
He raises an eyebrow "You sure? You look a little jumpy?"
"Me jumpy? Nah if anything I am un jumpy" I say and let out a nervous laugh. "Anyways, I am going to take a shower" I quickly add and grab clothes running towards the bathroom and getting inside the shower.
Now Maddox must definitely know I am hiding something. I have never been bad at lying so I don't know what happened.
I stay in the shower for I don't know how long. My fingers are pruny when I get out, I towel dry my hair and put on clean undergarments. I look at the clothes i had grabbed when I rushed into the bathroom and frown.
I had picked up an extremely dressy shirt and some bunny pijama shorts.
