Straight Men Don't Date Alphas

Flu or Rut

Dan

One week passed after our little first date, surprisingly there were no other dates, and as it is a relief somehow, there is still my anxious side not happy about it, I started to think that he changed his mind or he didn't find me good enough for him, it hurts my pride, as I want to be the one to say no not him.

But in reality he didn't really change his mind, we agreed on a date few days ago, but it was canceled when he got sick. He's just super busy at mornings, and sick at nights, there wasn't enough time on his schedule for me.

Still he would call every night. I saw him few times at the company, since he started to lock himself up in his office, we would exchange glances and smiles, the only reason for why I smile back is because his smile is contagious.

At night he would call and we just chat, I found that lovely. He is a really good listener, he has good jokes and he doesn't get bored easily, he talked about his college days and I talked about mine. He works good as a friend.

Yesterday I asked him about his flu, I told him it's okay to meet up, I don't mind catching flu if it means I'm going to take days off. I actually didn't really want to meet, I just found it suspicious how he is sick but still manages to go to the company every day.

'It's not actually a flu, it's my rut. I was a little bit embarrassed to tell you.'

I was shocked, I'm still shocked. Not because he has rut, it's normal, it's because he didn't tell me. And I wouldn't care normally but I can't stop thinking that he was speaking on the phone with me while on his rut, that he might be horny and maybe thinking about me NAKED?!!

I mean he has a crush on me, but still! This night I decided to not answer his call if he calls. I sat next to Sam on the couch, watching a drama on tv.

"I want a single drama about a beta couple, is that so hard to have?"

Sam asked me, even though he knows the answer, it is hard, beta romance is boring.

My phone rang, and Mr. Keen's  name appeared on screen, I didn't answer and mr. Keen kept on calling.

"Answer that alpha before I smash the phone in your head."

Sam threatened me without evening looking at my direction, too busy watching the drama he supposedly hates. I took the phone and went to the balcony before answering.

"Hello."

[hey Dan, is it not a good time for a call, I called several times.]

"No, I just got out of shower, so I couldn't pick up earlier."

[ah, alright, I got worried for no reason.]

What am I supposed to answer? Don't worry? He makes me feel sorry for ignoring him.

[hey listen, my friend is preparing a small celebration for tomorrow, do you want to come with me?]

"What about your rut?"

Oh god I talked without thinking, now I'm thinking about it, he might be thinking about me naked right now!!

[no it's all good, I'm taking my inhibitors.]

I don't want to go.

[please..]

"Alright."

Fuckk.

[I'll pick you up tomorrow then.]

I woke up in eight in the morning, I don't have work this day since it's Friday, but I like to keep waking up in the mornings to not mess up my sleeping schedule. I'd usually do some errands in such day, but today I chose to save my energy for tonight.
