"Hey, Wy?" I asked knocking on the door softly opening it slightly.
"Yes, Saph?" He answered softly.
Opening the door more I saw Wyatt sitting at his desk... and then I saw a sight I did not expect to see so soon. It was Trinna sprawled out asleep on his bed. "Wy, is that Trinna?" I asked, a smile creeping on my lips.
He looked in my direction, then to Trinna, and back to his desk. "Yea, it is. What about it?" He said softly.
I walked over and sat on the window sill that was next to his desk. "And she's wearing YOUR flannel?" My smile grew bigger as he turned his head so I couldn't see his face even more.
"No, it's not." He said quickly, as the dust of pink danced on his slightly tan skin.
"Wyatt, I basically picked out all of your wardrobe... with James help, but I remember that flannel. That is the precious flannel that you won't let anyone else wear." He finally turned to me and glared, the slightly pink turned slightly darker.
"Shut up, I don't have a precious anything, and don't lie it was all James that picked out my clothes... taking away all of my turtle necks, R.I.P. my beautiful turtle necks by the way. You only came with us because you were bated with food."He said sticking out his tongue.
"But you admit that that is indeed your flannel?" I said knowing I cornered him.
With a sigh, he put his head on the desk nodding his head. "She came to my room so we could continue to talk... and get to know each other as we've done since that day you knocked sense into me. One thing led to another and I marked her. She has been sleeping since. Now you are all caught up in my life, what about you miss 'I have a set of twins chasing after me' I've barely seen you... and James... so come on, update me, what's it like having both of the alpha's sons chasing you?"
"Ok first, you can't just say that you marked someone and then change the conversation. You both consented to it, right? It wasn't one of those 'in the heat of the moment' markings? Second I don't have both of the twins pinning after me I have Alec who wants to date, and then you have his asshole brother who is an asshole."
"Yes, we both agreed to the marking now stop changing the subject, both of them are chasing after you. Have you not noticed that Landon has actually been civil, you even sat next to him at dinner last night! This never happens, even both sets of parents were shocked that there was no debate last night. Do you know what this means, it means that Landon has decided he was going to grow up and be someone you will choose as a mate." Wyatt said as he shot his head up looking at me.
"Look I admit it he has been pretty quiet but I'm sure that's because he decided he was going to start taking his Alpha duties serious, or it could be that there has been a lot of paperwork coming in from Lee, which leads me to why I am here what are you doing Saturday morning?"
"What are we talking about?" said a voice that popped out of nowhere.
"James! What are you doing here?" I said whipping my head toward the door.
"Wy, mind linked me said that you were cornering him and that I should come and help him, so here I am." He said chuckling.
"Ok, first I wasn't cornering him. Look on his bed it's Trinna, asleep on his bed! Wy, tell him, tell him!" I said excitedly, causing Wyatt to roll his eyes.
"Is that your favorite flannel Wyatt? How comes she gets to wear it? When I wanted to borrow it last month you ripped it out of my hand and threw it in the closet." James said as his questioning gaze went from the sleeping Trinna to Wyatt.
"Ok, yes, that is my favorite flannel, are you happy? And the reason why she gets to wear it is that she's my mate, you're not. You are my best friend, not my girlfriend. Those are two different things."
"Bitch, how? She gets goodnight texts, I get goodnight texts. She gets cuddles, I get cuddles. She gets a pet name, I get a pet name. She gets to go on dates with you, I get to go on dates with you. I honestly don't see a difference, I even picked out the flannel, how comes she gets to wear it, but I couldn't." James said in an obvious dramatic tone.
"Ok first I have never said or done any of those things that you are claiming, and second because she is my girlfriend, she is wearing my mark, she is the one I am fucking and you aren't."
"That's bullshit, of course, we have done those things. Every night in the group chat you text good night, you call me king which is a pet name, you are a cuddler in your sleep so all of those sleepovers you have cuddled me because I was always in the middle, and lastly every Friday we used to go on thruple dates. I bet can't you deny it now." James said challenging Wyatt to protest again.
"Okay, let's take a break for a sec, you're called king because you changed both wy's and mine names for you on our phones and we all know that we won't change them unless needed. Now, why aren't you even surprised that he just announced that he marked Trinna?" I asked, standing up from the sill and sitting somewhere more comfortable.
"Well, you see Saph, if you weren't paying attention to just the twins, while they have been following you around basically pleading 'pick me, pick me' with their eyes, then you would have seen what I saw. After you went off on Wyatt he went to Trinna's room and they talked, the only time they took breaks was when we were at school and Wy was at work, but once they returned they would go to a place and just talk. After the first 24 hours, I took a step back and gave them their time to figure things out. Which is why you never saw me Wy, it's not like I wanted to avoid you, or Saph I just wanted you both to figure out your mate's situations. So no, I'm not surprised that he marked her and I'm glad you did Wy, you finally have someone that can fill that hole in your heart more than what Saph or I could do. So congratulations, and I hear there has been progress for you too miss Sapphire, both you and Landon sat next to each other at dinner last night and it was quiet, I am so proud."
"Yes! It's Saph's turn, I told you to spill so spill!" Wyatt said loudly while energetically standing up realizing that the spotlight was now on me. Well, that was before he saw Trinna move a little bit, Wyatt sat down quicker than he got up. "Come on, spill who are you going to choose, have you made any progress?" This time he said a little quieter.
"There has been no progress." I lied, was I ever going to tell them about the woods and the date, no, why? Because they are a step under my brother and father when it comes to overprotectiveness.
"Oh really, then how comes I saw you and Alec go into the woods, hand in hand?" Wyatt said this time challenging me, not taking his eyes off of me, not even a split second to check on his mate who was behind me.
"I'm sorry, woods? Holding hands? So you're just going to give up on Landon, I thought you have been making progress with him Saph, Charlie was even telling me how you went to see Landon on your own accord." James questioned also not taking his sight off of me.
"No! Guys! He just wanted to talk, away from where people could listen in. So yes we went into the woods, and Alec was in a hurry, so he took my hand so he wouldn't lose me, wait how did you know?" I said staring at Wyatt with a questioning gaze.
"I was on my way to work, I just so happen to see you guys." He said shrugging.
"So are we on team Alec then? Cause personally I am on team Landon." James asked.
"I mean I have always been on team Alec, even before the whole birthday fiasco and me confessing to you. Out of those two I just always felt Alec was a better fit for Saph." Wyatt chimed in.
"What do you mean he's the best fit, do you not remember what happened last year?" James whispered screamed, trying not to wake Trinna up.
"Of course I remember but-"
"Okay, first this isn't Twilight, we don't need teams. Second, what do you mean 'Do you not remember what happened last year?' is there something I don't know?" I asked looking at both of them with the 'you better tell me' look.
"Should we tell her?" Wyatt asked looking at James, completely ignoring me.
James looked at Wyatt than to me and then back to Wyatt. "I mean we are dead either way. Dead if we tell her and Landon finds out, and dead if we don't tell her." He said shrugging.
"But Landon won't kill us if it helps him against his brother. So as long as he finds out after she chooses him we are golden."
"You both know that I am right here right? You also know that I could also just refuse the mate bond and also decline Alec right? I mean that isn't my first choice and one that I never thought about but that was also before I knew I would have to choose between twin brothers."
"I mean you could choose both and get this over with." James mumbled, but not as softly as he hoped.
"James... I honestly didn't think about that, but then if what you say is true. That they both are 'fighting' for my attention basically screaming 'Pick me! Pick me!' then I would have to deal with that for the rest of my life. Besides I highly doubt both them are up to share, now will someone please tell me what happened last year!"
"Not unless you tell us what happened in the woods." Wyatt said countering my demand.
I glared at him for the longest minute and then sighed. "I agreed to go on a date with him okay? Are you happy now? It was going to be a quick brunch Saturday morning so that no one figured it out, but since Lee is coming home and I wanted to have a group breakfast we changed it to Friday night. Will you tell me now, please?" I pleaded looking at both of them with a defeated look.
Well, I didn't expect to tell them about that, but at least they don't know about the almost marking and the kiss. I at least got away with them not finding that out... you know it's kinda ironic because I told Alec that I wanted them to not find out about this date.
"You're going on your first date with someone who is not your mate, someone who is brothers with your mate, and finally someone who you said you might not even choose?" James questioned
"Says you, besides Lee and Landon you were pretty up there when it came to fooling around. And Saph deserves to be with someone who might not give her an STD." Wyatt said narrowing his eyes at James.
I mean he wasn't wrong. Everyone wanted Landon and Lee, but there were girls that tried to get a taste of all three, and I've been told none have succeeded.... according to all three of them who told me once while they were very drunk up at the falls. That night, I wish I was also very drunk, but Wyatt wasn't there so I had to babysit.
"My point is she has once said that she is going to pick Landon, cause he is her fated mate. She has also said she is waiting for everything romantic-wise for her fated mate. Don't you remember she once sucker-punched Mason back in 10th grade cause he cornered her to ask her out? So what made you change your mind. You are literally the last girl in our grade who has yet to be kissed and gone out on a date." James asked causing the room to fill with silence as they both stare at me waiting for answers.
"What's going on? Why are Saph and James here babe?" A tired voice asked from behind me.
"Hey Trinna, how are you? Trinna's up, I am going to go, I'll talk to you guys later and I expect the story from last year, love the flannel Trinna, byyeee!" I said darting out the door, relieved that I now had a way out of that conversation.
