She goes into the store and I move to get a closer look. I find her fascinating. Even when she is doing something as simple as picking out clothes. They’re discussing hoodies. Good, she needs her own warmer clothes, I don’t want any more of Chris’s clothes on her body. I'll buy her a hundred coats and hoodies just so she never wears another guys clothes ever again. Her aunt tells her to get the pink one because it’s cute. But let’s be honest here. Alexia could wear anything and still look breathtaking.
I know she’s starting to feel the effect of the mate bond. She keeps looking around her. She feels the tingles in her body; she’s got too. I know because I feel them too. Only because of my alpha blood I get them about ten times as strong.
They head out to the food court, and I decide that I really should stop following her now. If she doesn’t notice, someone else might. After awhile though I start to get a sense of her feelings and I can tell she’s starting to panic. I rush as quick as I can to get to her but when I enter the food court I can see that she’s just sat at a table. All fine. I take a look around and I’m not sure why she was feeling like that so I decide to just stand and watch for a while to make sure she stays ok. Something definitely spooked her.
She starts looking around again, but this time I don’t move. I want her to see me. I need to see her face, touch her, be near her. I need the contact I’ve been craving all day following her around. I can hear what they are saying.
“Someone you know from school? He looks nice.” Her aunt says.
“He is from school, but he’s not nice. He’s a jerk.”
A jerk? Not nice? That’s what she thinks of me? I have to walk away. I don’t want to hear any more of what she thinks until I can change her mind.
I need to fix this. I can’t do another week at school like the past one. She needs to know. But what do I say. Hey, I’m the big bad wolf and guess what... you’re my mate.You’re going to spend the rest of your life with me. She’s going to think I’m a psycho.
Time to man up Logan.
I walk back into the food court. She’s still sat at the same table bending down messing with her bag. I walk over and put my hand on her arm. She looks up and I’m swimming in her eyes. I feel less agitated already just by this tiny touch.
I’m gonna make this work.
I have to.
Chapter Six
Honesty
Ok....I have about ten minutes before he should be here. I can’t stop thinking about how he makes me feel. I’m sort of excited to go out but then I feel guilty. I shouldn’t be excited this soon after my parents death should I?
That’s not normal is it?
Maybe I should just tell him I’m ill and that I can’t go. But I can’t bring myself to do it. It’s like my body is desperate to get near him. I don’t want this though. I don’t want a relationship. That’s what I keep telling myself and everyone else about Chris anyway. I grab my new pink hoodie, I’ll have to ask him how he knew about it, and carry it down stairs with me. I won’t need it on just yet. I have a long sleeve fitted top on with a looser fitting tee over the top. Layers is the way to keep warm I’ve found out. I have on my dark blue skinny jeans and a new pair of brown leather calf boots. I hope they’re comfy.
My phone goes off, looking at the screen I can see it’s a text from Amber asking about the party. I quickly type a reply saying I can’t make it, but I don’t give her the real reason. I don’t want to tell her who I’m meeting with. Not that there’s anything important to tell anyway.
Right on time I hear the doorbell buzzing and I quickly make my way to answer it.
“How do you know where I live?” The words pop out of my mouth before I even think I’m going to say them. Then I’m just staring at him standing there smirking at me. Why is he so hot. It really shouldn’t be allowed. I don’t think straight around him.
“Well, hello to you too, Alexia.” He says in his low sexy voice. It would be perfect for singing rock songs, to me...... Ok stop dreaming, he just spoke to you.
“Uh, hello, you could just call me Alex you know, everyone else does.”
“Well, Alexia, I’m not everyone else. You ready to go?” I do like the way he says my name.
“Yeah I’m all good. Where are we going exactly? And just so you know I don’t usually just get in a strangers car.” He looks a little confused and hurt by what I say.
“We’re not strangers Alexia, we just don’t know each other as much as we should. Yet. And I’m going to take you to a special place of mine.” He opens up his car door for me and gives me a hand up into his truck. As we touch I feel the familiar jolt, I wonder if he feels it too. If he does he doesn’t let it show. He closes my door and gets in the other side.
“So this special place of yours, is that what you tell all the other
