Finding My Alpha {Book 1}

I like what i see

I walked down and went staright to the kitchen and started to help Ella bring the plates to the dining area to set the table. It was like old times me having dinner at their place. But it didn't use to be so formal.

Ella told me that Sunday dinners are a family tardition and they like to have formal ones beacuse since some of her children have their own place , Sunday is the only day the whole family meets.

The table was set. And i admired how nice the setting looked. They sure owned fancy cutlery. Suddenly i felt to arms hug me from behind. And i instantly knew it was Ray, the familar bolts of electricity raced across my skin. I smiled and turned around. He looked great wearing a black formal shirt, tucked into his fitted pants. I turned back to face the table blushing as i realised i had been staring at him .

"I like what i see" he replied.

"Yea, me and Ella did a good job setting the table, didn't we?" I asked . Admiring the room lighted with candles and a chandelier.Giving a warm yellow glow to the whole place.

"I meant you, beautiful" Ray replied chucking.

I melted. This is bad . I think i like him alot. This was so wrong. I barely knew him. Well we were childhood best friends but still...i don't understand why i feel so right having me fall into his arms.

Soon enough the family started to come down and doorbells started ringing. And finally last but not the least, Mr.Rivers himself reached.

We all sat at the table. And they begun introducing themselves.

Siera was 23 and she didn't need an introduction. I knew her all too well. She gave me a warm smile. She had shoulder length hair that had black roots and brown highlights, she also had green eyes that sparkled when she smiled. She was holding hands with a guy who seemed to be in love with her. They both shared a look that obviously showed that they were in love. Awww so sweet. He introduced himself as George.

Next up was Edward. I knew Ed, from when we were kids as well. He was 21. He had dark hair , blue eyes and he did resemble Ray. But he and Ray seemed different. Maybe their characters were different. I couldn't really remeber spending alot of my childhood with Ed as he always seemed like the responsible, mature older brother type. He brought his girlfriend, Alex with him. They looked happy together and like Seria and George they too seemed in love.

Next up was Maxwell. Max was 19 and he was a player all too well. He was single though strangely. Even when he was a kid he always was a people charmer type of guy. He sent me a wink and smiled. Referring to catching me and Ray in an awkward situation earlier today. I blushed slightly; embarrassed.

Ray was the 4th child and he was 17. No need to introduce Ray.

Ariana is 15 and she looked really pretty. Her hair was dark staright with blonde tips. I had done an ombré effect to my hair over the summer at the city with my friends and seeing Ariana's hair remided me of my friends. She smiled at me, her grey tinted eyes lighting up. It sorta looked like a more faded out colour of Ella's green eyes. I liked it.

Finally it was Paul's turn . He was 12 and the last of the River kids. He looked tanned and like a boy who was into sports and gaming. He smiled politely.

Mr. Rivers seemes pleased. He gave a nod of approval to Ray who was still holding my hand , since i was nervous. I cocked my head slightly not understanding why he nodded at Ray. But decided not to ask any questions and embarrass myself.

"Im so hungry i could eat a horse " started Max. The rest of the night was pretty good and it eneded with Ella showing me baby pictures of Ray and the others as we all laughed sharing our memories of each other.

Ray walked me to my door and hugged me goodbye. And honestly i couldn't wait till tomorrow to start school. Not beacuse of education. Not that i don't appriciate the fact i get to attend school. But because i could see Ray.

I shut the door and went to my room. And sleep soon took over me .
