Days at school were more than awkward. Everywhere I got there were stairs and not the good kinds. Donavan was always surrounded by others and even if I did want to talk to him it would be impossible, he became a hidden prize that I would never get. It wasn't like he was trying to talk to me anyway. Maybe he had changed his mind and doesn't want to find out what we could be. Maybe my choice didn't matter anymore if he gave up.
After a week I felt like giving up, even in class he wouldn't catch my eye, he only ever talked to other people or looked down at his paper doing homework. Work had kept me pretty busy so even if I wanted to dwell on the fact that he had given up I couldn't.
"Omg remember that cute boy that asked you out? Cara asked
"How could I forget we had a wonderful date and then he didn't talk to me again" I had to lie. I had known Cara for over four years and even now I wasn't ready to tell her my deepest darkest secret yet. Maybe when we were older but I couldn't handle that too at this moment.
"Well don't look now but he is back so maybe this is your second chance" I had never felt my head whip as fast as it did. When my eyes landed on him I had to blink a few times before I could bring myself to believe that he was truly siting back in the booth where we had our first conversation. Handsome as always. I slowly made my way to him afraid that if I came to fast he would be able to see everything into my mind.
"Your back" I breathed not really knowing what else to say. I had gone over this conversation many times in my head but I never actually thought it would happen so being here right now I couldn't help but squirm.
"Yeah this happens to be my favorite dinner why wouldn't I be back?" He said a little snarky. This comment didn't make my mind feel at ease and all I wanted to do was go run into the back without another word and wait until he left.
"Well then what can I get you?"
"I would like a poutine please" He still hadn't looked up at me and I was pretty sure he wanted this to end almost as much as I did.
"I will be right back with your order then" I felt my legs fly me across the floor away from him but even with seeing him again I had more questions than ever. I sent his order to the cook and couldn't help but look over at him again while I was waiting. He was wearing a maroon t shirt that hugged all the right spots on his chest and arms. Tattoos were peaking out from under his sleaves and his dark jeans hung just right on his hips.
I quickly jumped out of my thoughts when my eyes met his and I could feel a small blush burning on my cheeks. He wasn't supposed to make me feel like this. Thankfully the cook yelled that his food was ready and I had a chance to turn away from him and collect my composure.
"Here you go"
"I want to speak to you"
"Really I would never have figured that out since you are always guarded by other people" I stated already annoyed that he thinks he would get anything he desired with just him stating it.
"Come on I have tried to speak with you all week but when I try you disappear"
"Really because all I got was hostility and running away from you"
"Can you just figure your shit out and say yes or no to being my mate"
"You still want me to be your mate after all of this drama"
"This drama was made because my parents wanted one thing and didn't see the big picture and because of that they are consumed with a future they want instead of the future I want"
"I....I want to be your mate" His head whipped so fast looking into my deep grey ones that I don't think he believed me. Yes I hadn't really thought it through but he was ready to give up everything for me so why couldn't I do the same for him.
"Really, because that isn't want you said a week ago"
"I know that and I realize that you have every right to believe that I don't want this but honestly I don't care about your parents, your pack, or the titles. I just want you. You are all I need to be happy and I will burn down every house and kill every person that comes in the way of us. Just please give me another chance"
Without another word he got up and his lips were on mine. Soft at first but as my body melted into his he deepened the kiss. Everything around us disappeared as our thoughts and lips moved in sync. Honestly it was the most magical thing I had ever wished for as a first kiss. He would be the only one I would ever put my lips on or share any intimate moment with. He would always be my forever.
