My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 21

I was frozen with the phone to my ear. I was caught red handed. I heard the dial tone and knew Mason

hung up. I quickly masked my fear and put a smile on my face.

"Ordering a pizza from Dominos," I lied. "I kind of promised I would make a picnic basket, but honestly,

all I want is some pizza," I continued easily. Peyton rolled his eyes and walked closer to me.

"Dominos doesn't deliver here. We have a Pizza Hut in town though," he said, gently moving me aside

and dialing the number before handing the phone back to me. I mentally let out a huge sigh of relief.

That was way too close. I started ordering pizzas when I realized that I didn't know what Elias liked.

Peyton seemed to realize that too when I froze up. He held his hand out for the phone. I gave it to him,

not feeling like fighting him on just telling me.

"And ten more large deep dish meat-lovers pizza with cheesy crust and another large cheese pizza,"

he added. My eyes widened at the amount. Eleven pizza's for four people? Surly that wasn't necessary.

"To the Alpha's house," Peyton said before he hung up.

Alpha? Where have I heard that before?

Peyton squinted his eyes at me in a scrutinizing way. It made me uncomfortable.

"Next time, ask someone first," he said. I nodded quickly. I went back to my room and looked through

my drawers before I found a teal blue bikini. It was a little too revealing for my taste, but it was cute. I

pulled my hair back into a ponytail and put a pair of high-waisted blue jean shorts and a simple white

tank top on over the swimsuit. I stuck my feet in a pair of converse and sighed.

"Nova," Elias said from my doorway. I looked at him surprised. I didn't even hear him come in. He

looked at me confused. "What's wrong?" he asked. I blushed and shook my head.

"Nothing, I just... Nothing," I stammered. Elias came in and took my hand gently. I felt the tingles run up This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

my arm, making me blush even more.

He's dangerous...

"Peyton told me you ordered pizza for our picnic," he said. I nodded and averted my eyes.

"Yeah I did... I think they should be here soon, but I don't know since Peyton ordered like a hundred of

them," I exaggerated. "Where are the girls?" I asked.

"They're downstairs waiting on us and the pizza apparently," he chuckled. He paused and looked off as

his eyes glazed over before he looked back to me. "Now they're just waiting on us," he said. I nodded

and started for the stairs. I walked down to see the twins bouncing in the bar seats with a huge basket

in between them. They smiled and hopped down when they saw us. Alana started pulling me towards

the door as Anya grabbed Elias and did the same. We got in the SUV with the basket full of pizza and

took off. Elias stopped the SUV in a parking lot before we went the rest of the way on foot. We walked

through the woods until we got to the clearing. It was so beautiful that it made me stop. There was a

decent sized lake and the lush green grass was low. The trees around the area almost created a

perfect circle. Elias set out the blanket and began pulling out the boxes of pizza. The girls sat on the

blanket obediently. I sat as well and we all ate, although I wasn't all that hungry. My conversation with

Mason kept running through my head. The girls went to play in the lake.
