Chereads / I am the Alpha’s Tomboy / Chapter 3 - Go Cut the Grass

Chapter 3 - Go Cut the Grass

After many boring classes, it was time to leave but since I was getting a lift from Lee I had to wait till practice was over so I went to the baseball field. After a while I was tired so I went to watch their practice. When I got there James saw me and smirked: "Hey saph where have you been?"

I shrugged "Down at the baseball field... why?"

His smirk gets bigger "Cause I was going to see if you wanted to one-up the captains..."

Then his voice got louder "Because clearly, you are the better soccer player"

Lee looked over and smiled and then went back to drills but Landon stopped the ball and walked over "What do you mean she's the better than us... there's no way she's better than me and Lee, right Lee?"

We looked at Lee and he shrugged and went back to drills and I smiled "What's wrong? Landon you afraid I'm going to kick your butt at soccer... I mean I'm already better than you at baseball so why not add another..."

He scoffed as he rolled his eyes "Yeah right... there is no way I'm scared of-" he gave me a once over before finishing his sentence. "you- I mean look at you, you look exhausted and I really don't want a handicap when I kick your ass- unless, you were to, hmmm I don't know... make it interesting, then maybe it will make my victory so much sweeter even with the handicap."

I rolled my eyes at his cockiness and then smirked "Well how about this you pick your team, I'll pick mine. Oh, and if I win, you have to let Lee be the co-captain."

Landon shrugged and put out his hand with a smirk. "And if I win you have to suck it up and let me be co-captain"

We shook hands in agreement "Oh, and no one can have Lee he is off-limits" Landon nodded and went to pick out his team.

Sadly, we lost by one point. I swear he cheated but he is denying it. I was talking to James when Landon who's smirking and coach walked over. "Well, sapphire it looks like Landon will be your co-captain since Lee doesn't really care who it is."

He then turned and went over to the rest of the team and I shot a glare at Landon who's still smirking. "You sir can go cut the grass"

He chuckles and looked at me with a mocking worried face. "What's wrong Saph, you look like you're not excited that I'm co-captain. I mean any girl would love to be in your place..."

I smirk as I walk a little closer to him. "You know I feel really bad for your future mate..."

He tilts his head in a confused way "Really? How come?"

My smirk grows wider as I was now right in front of him, so I went on my tiptoes since he is a lot taller than me and whispered in his ear. "Because you are an egotistical dog..."

He glares at me and throws me over his shoulder. "Don't call me a dog... and I'm not egotistical"

I chuckle as I hit his back. "Hmm, I have to disagree on that. Now put me down!"

Then James and Lee come over laughing at my current situation. "Landon, why is my baby sister being hung upside down?" My brother said in between laughs, I'm glad they find this amusing, note the sarcasm

Landon shrugs which causes me to move up and down. "It's her punishment for calling me an egotistical dog."

I roll my eyes as my phone begins to ring. "Can you please put me down now?" I didn't even get an answer all I got was him tightening his arm around my legs, then I was handed my phone by either James or Lee.

I looked at the I.D and saw that it said 'Boo' "Hey Wyatt."

"Hey, boo what's wrong?" I guess he caught the sadness in my tone.

I sigh "Guess who's my co-captain."

He chuckles a little and then answers. "Sorry boo at least it's only one other time in the day"

I sigh into the phone. "Yea but I already have to live with him at the packhouse I don't need to see him an extra part of the day..." forgetting that I'm currently in his hold, he tightens his hold more which causes me to yelp.

"Are you ok? Why do I hear laughing in the background?" I could hear the concern in his voice.

I hit Landon on his lower back, harder then I thought because he groaned. "Watch it love, I have a bruise there, I mean if you want to make another one, go ahead but you'll have to wait till we are back at the packhouse ALONE. Where it's just us and we are not with your brother and James, you know I knew it'd take a while to get you to fall for me but I didn't expect it to be less than 24 hours."

Before I could clear anything to Wyatt, my lovely brother named Lee and my idiotic best friend names James made the situation worse. "Saph! Stop! Don't do that here and right now!" James said as he was covering his eyes then my brother followed suit and saying "Yea, what happened to the Sapphire I knew that wanted to wait for her mate, and now you are doing this? With my best friend?! I thought I raised you better than this!"

They all laughed which caused me to flip the two that I can actually see and punch Landon in the same spot expecting it to hurt him- it didn't- instead of yelping- he moaned which didn't help my situation. "Ummm?" Wyatt said in his uncomfortable voice.

At this point, I've given up on all three of them. "Wyatt please don't listen to the three idiots, Landon currently is hanging me upside-down and won't let me GO! Now put me down!"

"Not unless you say 'I was totally wrong about you Landon! Any girl would be lucky to be your mate and your co-captain, and you are totally not an egotistical dog, you are hot and unbelievable charming and you will be the next greatest alpha this pack has ever seen.' you say that and I'll put you down." I rolled my eyes at imitation at my voice. it didn't even sound like mine, mine is on the lower side, his is too high pitched.

I repeated every single word and even did the same voice as him. then he put me down and then I added: "Yep that is 100% proof that you sir are egotistical now if you excuse me I have a phone call to deal with."

"Don't make me throw you over the shoulder again, and this time I won't be kind and put you down." he said with eyes basically saying 'i did it once so don't underestimate me'

I just rolled my eyes and turned my back to them. "Do you hear what I have to deal with, there is no way I can handle just a couple extra hours."

He chuckles at my protest to this whole situation. "I know boo its only one practice every couple days... ok?"

I hummed in agreement into the phone. "When do you get off?"

He chuckles and takes a little pause. "In about an hour or two. Why?"

I smirk "I need a run with my oldest friend"

He whimpers which causes me to chuckle. "Is that all?"

I laughed at his disappointment that I only want to run. "No, I also want a hug"

I thought I heard a low growl but when I eyed the three boys behind me they were just in their triangle talking.

"You got it... you want me to bring you chicken nuggets?"

"YES! Are you kidding you don't even have to ask!!!! I love you boo, your the greatest ever!"

He chuckles "ok boo I love you too and I'll see you later"

"Bye!" I smiled in excitement and did a little dance due to the free food I'm getting.

I hung up and walked over to lee, James, and Landon who were giving me questioning looks though Landon was glaring. "You ready to go my kid sis or are you going to continue that little dance?" he said as he was imitating my dance.

I roll my eyes "I'm not a kid anymore I'm literally a year behind you and that's my dance and you can't steal it."

He smiles "Yea I know, only you can do that dance so goofy, now let's go before luna and mom yell at us." and with that, we all go to his car.
