《Fated To The Alphas》Chapter 10 - Trying
Advertisement
Looking out the window of Jonathan's car, I feel at peace but at the same time confused. I feel his eyes pierced on me even though I know they must be on the road. Three minutes in counting of this drive, I feel like I'm in a very long destination flight, like the awkwardness of this drive is amazing. I decide to change that " Jonathan are you okay?"
"I'm fine thanks Lucy how about you" he say
"I'm good too thanks"
Silence quickly creeping right back and I decide to take things in my own hands.
"So what do you do for a living?"
"I am a ceo of a tech company" he says
"Really!?" That shocks me because he looks like a business man, when I say business man, I mean someone who might be a lawyer or something else just not something to do with techs.
"Yeah, what did you think?" He asks looking all amused at my confusion
"I thought you were a lawyer or something like that" I say smiling shyly at him
"Nope, been a geek all my life so I focused more on building tech instead" he says with so much pride, not the cocky type but *the I managed it* type of pride.
Our drive consisted of us talking more about tech stuff, which isn't a problem for me cause I love tech. After some time driving we reached the hospital.
"Thanks for the ride Jonathan, I really enjoyed it" I say as he pulls over
"Its my pleasure" he says
"Would it be okay with me driving you home as well?" He asks with those puppy dog eyes that Jaylen and Jack have, though the only difference is the color.
"Yeah it's okay with me, as long as it won't give you any trouble..." I say, I don't like troubling people or being a bother.

"You would never be a bother" he says with so much truth to his word. He then flies out of his car and rushes to open my door.
"You know you don't need to do that right?" I say
"Lucy this is the way I am, and I like doing it for you so."
"Okay and thanks again for the ride" I say as I walk away. Not looking back I keep walking but come to a halt when I realize I didn't even get his number. In case I need to tell him when I'm done. I don't like making people wait for me. I turn around to find he's gone. Maybe I can just tell Jaylen to inform Jonathan.
————-–————————
Today has been busy, patients and all. I and Jaylen have barely talked today, he has been busy, like I said today has been a busy day. I sign out, change my clothes and get going. I'm so tired it's so overwhelming to even think about it. Walking through the doors of freedom, i spot a familiar face, its Jonathan leaning on his car like a complete god typing on his phone. He looks up and our eyes connect, right there i feel some kind of way, like me being overwhelmed just ran out the window.
"Hey lucy"
"Hey Jonathan.." i really wanted to tell him that he didn't have to come but seeing the smile on his face, my mamma taught me better than that!
When I finally approach the car he opens the door and guides me into his car and puts the seat belt for me. Which I never asked for, but for some reason I refrain from stopping him, like something is stopping me from reacting towards this man. When he gets into the car he fires up the engine and we drive off to the main road.

"How was your day?"
"It was okay i guess, but really tiring and yours"
"Mine was just fine, got a new client today, so that's a bonus" He says
"That's great Jonathan, I'm so happy for you" I say as I smile widely. Him being happy funny enough makes me happy.
"So Jonathan are you dating?" I really felt like I should ask just in case some other person is all over him, which really just the thought of it gets to me. Like I have no right to be Jealous, but my feelings say otherwise.
He first looks at me in a face I would say points to disbelief "no, why would you ask that?"
" just didn't want to make anyone jealous if you had a partner I mean" I say clenching my hands, which I didn't even notice I was doing.
~
We suddenly stop outside my place "Thanks for the ride Jonathan" I say unbuckling my seatbelt
"It was nothing" he says while looking directly at the road
"Would you like come in?" I ask
"No that won't be necessary"
Why would he act like we didn't just drive home together. I get out the car and he drives off which is weird but hey that might be just how he is. I'm too tired for this right now.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

When Takeru opened his eyes, all he saw was white and there was nothing else, or so he thought. Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed throughout the white plains, introducing himself as God.
