Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 50 Bailey Well, | had my detailed tour of the new school | 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, | now knew every inch of the school, in great detail, and | loved

it! Now the two of us were walking through the packlands, while the happy one did his best at showing me

around. Bless him, it was so obvious tothat he was not comfortable in the company of others, or maybe it

was just in the company of me... but he looked so uneasy | felt bad for him. Do you wantto go back to my

room?” | asked, looking up at him with a polite smile. “What? Why would | want to go to your room?” he almost

choked on hs words, and | had to try to stop myself laughing at him. Is that what he actually thought | 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 | found it more amusing that he had misheardThough, | was a little

insulted at how disgusted he looked. | wasn’t that bad... “Woah there sailor, | think you need to get your hearing

tested! | most definitely was not inviting you back to my room. Oh, hell no!” | grinned at him, and saw his checks

flushing with color at my words. “I simply said would you rathergo back to my room. As in alone. You know,

meaning without you. He ran his hand through his hair uncomfortably, and sighed. “Okay, don’t make it worse

than it was. Haha. Worse for him, he means, | quite like him looking uncomfortable. Make it worse. Say more!

Make it worse!” Akira urges, and once again | am trying hard not to smile. | bit my lip to prevent myself from

saying anything, and looked ahead as we continued walking. | feel Beta Asher’s eyes upon me, and | try so hard

not to look at him, because | know the moment I do | will laugh, and with Akira’s input | don’t think | would be

able to stop... “You're trying not to laugh, aren't you?” he said, with a little huff to his tone. “No.... what gave you

that idea?” | 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 |

note a small smile upon his lips. “It was kind of funny.” | whispered. “No, it was embarrassing, Miss West. He says

just as quietly. “Will you please just callBailey?” | asked him, with a roll of my eyes. “I am not your teacher,

you know. And it doesn’t need to be embarrassing, just laugh it off. You know how to laugh, right?” He suddenly

stopped walking and gavea sharp and dirty look, his eyebrows raised at me, like he did not quite believe |

had asked him that. “S**t. You pi**d him off. Take it back. Take it back Akira urges me. Though | don’t think he

knows 1/3 hapter 50 Bailey Finished what laughing is, she adds with a giggle. “Seriously?” he asked. “Of course |

know how to laugh. I just don’t find you funny,” “Oooh roasted!” Akira was giggling again. “Well, excuse me. | do

apologize for not being funny enough for you, Mr Cheerful.” | said with a smirk, and he shook his head atas

he began to walk again. Keep up, Miss West, | still have the rest of the pack to show to you.” he said to me, with

a glance back at me. his big green eyes looking straight at me. “You don’t wantto go back to my room?” |

asked, surprised, as he had said he had work to do. Yet he was taking his tshowingaround what seemed

like every inch of the pack. “I believe | said | would do your induction, and | plan to do it properly.” He said to me

with a smile. “And it has not been as bad as | thought.” | chuckled. “Aww, was that an attempt at a compliment

there, Beta Asher?” | would not go that far, Miss West. | simply said doing the induction was not as bad as |

thought. | do not usually do them. But, as | said earlier, | do have work to do, so speed up.” He said towith a

nod “Because the pace you walk, | will still be doing this at Christinas.” Wow. What a guy. Gone from what |

thought was a compliment to insulting me. Truly remarkable.

D*#k... “Oh, because | hurt your feelings, you are going to be mean tonow?” | said sarcastically. “Bad news

for you is, | am used to people doing that, so it won't work.” He looked atwith 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 | do now? “Oh, nothing major.” I did my

best to dismiss it, not wanting to be explaining to the man with no heart nor a sense of humor the stuff | dealt

with growing up. He would likely think that was normal. “No, | want to know what you meant.” He says, and this

this voice sounds irritated. “Is that why you had to chere so quickly?” “What?” My heart was beginning

to pound now. Where did that question cfrom? How was that even related to this conversation?! And, why

did he need to know about my sudden need to chere quickly? “I found it quite odd that you had to come

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 sreason

nobody could givean answer as to why. So, perhaps, now you have said that, you will explain why” Beta

Asher is watchingagain, but now | feel myself feeling suddenly anxious. Was there a way to get out of this

one? Because | truly do not feel comfortable telling this moody monster of a man anything
