    Chapter 50 Bailey


    Well, I had my detailed tour of the new school I would be working at, and who knew a four could be


    quite so detailed… it seems Beta Asher is a s**k**r for the finer details. maybe a little OCD lingering


    under that mean and moody exterior… but, still, I now knew every inch of the school, in great detail,


    and I loved it! Now the two of us were walking through the pds, while the happy one did his


    best at showing me around.


    Bless him, it was so obvious to me that he was notfortable in thepany of others, or maybe


    it was just in thepany of me… but he looked so uneasy I felt bad for him.


    Do you want me to go back to my room?” I asked, looking up at him with a polite smile.


    “What? Why would I want to go to your room?” he almost choked on hs words, and I had to try to


    stop myselfughing at him. Is that what he actually thought I was suggesting?


    What in all holy hell does he think we are proposing? Akira almost squealed within my mind.


    sounding truly horrified, and to be honest I found it more amusing that he had misheard me Though,


    I was a little insulted at how disgusted he looked. I wasn’t that bad…


    “Woah there sailor, I think you need to get your hearing tested! I most definitely was not inviting you


    back to my room. Oh, hell no!” I grinned at him, and saw his checks flushing with color at my words.


    “I simply said would you rather me go back to my room. As in alone. You know, meaning without


    you.


    He ran his hand through his hair ufortably, and sighed. “Okay, don’t make it worse than it was.


    Haha. Worse for him, he means, I quite like him looking ufortable. Make it worse. Say more!


    Make it worse!’ Akira urges, and once again I am trying hard not to smile.


    I bit my lip to prevent myself from saying anything, and looked ahead as we continued walking. I


    feel Beta Asher’s eyes upon me, and I try so hard not to look at him, because I know the moment I


    do I willugh, and with Akira’s input I don’t think I would be able to stop…


    “You’re trying not tough, aren’t you?” he said, with a little huff to his tone.


    “No…. what gave you that idea?” I struggled to speak.


    “I can just tell. Not to mention the fact you are nearly eating your lip.” He says, and again his eyes


    are. still upon me, though I sense a little humor in his tone this time, and I slowly move my gaze to


    his, and I note a small smile upon his lips.


    “It was kind of funny.” I whispered.


    “No, it was embarrassing, Miss West. He says just as quietly.


    “Will you please just call me Bailey?” I asked him, with a roll of my eyes. “I am not your teacher, you


    know. And it doesn’t need to be embarrassing, justugh it off. You know how tough, right?”


    He suddenly stopped walking and gave me a sharp and dirty look, his eyebrows raised at me, like


    he did not quite believe I had asked him that.


    “S**t. You pi**d him off. Take it back. Take it back Akira urges me. Though I don’t think he knows

    whatughing is, she adds with a giggle.


    “Seriously?” he asked. “Of course I know how tough. I just don’t find you funny,”


    “Oooh roasted!” Akira was giggling again.


    “Well, excuse me. I do apologize for not being funny enough for you, Mr Cheerful.” I said with a


    smirk, and he shook his head at me as he began to walk again.


    Keep up, Miss West, I still have the rest of the pack to show to you.” he said to me, with a nce


    back at me. his big green eyes looking straight at me.


    ‘You don’t want me to go back to my room?” I asked, surprised, as he had said he had work to do.


    Yet he was taking his time showing me around what seemed like every inch of the pack.


    “I believe I said I would do your induction, and I n to do it properly.” He said to me with a smile.


    “And it has not been as bad as I thought.”


    I chuckled. “Aww, was that an attempt at apliment there, Beta Asher?”


    I would not go that far, Miss West. I simply said doing the induction was not as bad as I thought. I do


    not usually do them. But, as I said earlier, I do have work to do, so speed up.” He said to me with a


    nod “Because the pace you walk, I will still be doing this at Christinas.”


    Wow. What a guy. Gone from what I thought was apliment to insulting me. Truly remarkable. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    D**k…


    “Oh, because I hurt your feelings, you are going to be mean to me now?” I said sarcastically. “Bad


    news for you is, I am used to people doing that, so it won’t work.”


    He looked at me with a frown. “What does that mean?’


    Oh… maybe I shouldn’t have said that. His tone did not sound impressed. I didn’t expect him to pay


    attention to what I had said, or at least not ask questions. Hmm, what do I do now?


    “Oh, nothing major.” I did my best to dismiss it, not wanting to be exining to the man with no


    heart nor a sense of humor the stuff I dealt with growing up. He would likely think that was normal.


    “No, I want to know what you meant.” He says, and this time his voice sounds irritated. “Is that why


    you had toe here so quickly?”


    “What?” My heart was beginning to pound now. Where did that questione from? How was that


    even rted to this conversation?! And, why did he need to know about my sudden need toe


    here quickly?


    “I found it quite odd that you had toe here so suddenly, usually processing a new job could take


    a few days to a few weeks, depending on the papers. Usually closer to weeks. Yet with you, we


    needed to have a space ready the next day, And for some reason nobody could give me an answer


    as to why. So, perhaps, now you have said that, you will exin why” Beta Asher is watching me


    again, but now I feel myself feeling suddenly anxious. Was there a way to get out of this one?


    Because I truly do not feelfortable telling this moody monster of a man anything
