Chapter 6 - Chapter Six

The morning sun woke up the next Astoria sleeping head. The drink had a very big effect on her last night, causing her to wake up pretty late. She stretched her body and yawned loudly as she sat up on her bed. She glanced at the wall clock and gasped.``Oh mine it's already 9:30am I have overslept." She mouthed to herself and quickly got down from her bed. She was about walking into her restroom when her room door flipped open and she saw Casey walk into the bedroom.

"Good morning sleepy head,"Casey said. "Good morning, Casey, how was your night?" She asked as she stepped into her restroom without waiting for her to respond. "It was fine." Casey said in a loud voice so she could hear her from inside the restroom.

Astoria came out of the restroom after spending some time there and walked towards Casey who was sitting on her bed and sat beside her. "Casey my head aches." Astoria complained, holding on to her head. "Why won't it ache when you had too much to drink last night." Casey says to her. "It wasn't my fault though, I was just left with drinks so what can I do?" She asked. "There are other things you could do instead of drinking." Casey said. "Things like what?" She asked. "Dancing besides you love dancing instead of having too much to drink and puking on someone." Casey said.

"What do I puke on someone?" Astoria asked with a raise of brows.

Casey kept quiet for a while before nodding her head in response to her. Astoria felt sorry for the innocent person she had puked on and she could see the person and apologise.

"You should be grateful the guy isn't like those arrogant looking folks that are so ready to tear you apart when you cross their paths." Casey said. "Oh I actually puked on a guy." She spoke softly. "It's not just a guy who isn't a calm and gentle guy at that." She corrected her. "Ok whatever but they are all addressed as guys either gentle or not." Astoria said. "Ok whatever you say." Casey replied." Ok, I really wished I could meet the guy and apologise to him properly." Astoria thought out loud. "Yes, I wish so too, but he looks new to me, and I don't think I have ever seen that face in college ever before."

"Hmm," she exhaled."Maybe he is new in college and we might like to meet him someday." Astoria said. "Yeah maybe." Casey added. "Alright enough of all that,so what are we having for breakfast? because I'm so hungry right now." Astoria said, holding her stomach softly. "I have had breakfast already, so you can go over to the kitchen to take yours." Casey said and pulsed to stare at her before she continued. "Honestly if today was a weekday, you wouldn't be able to attend class today, I just can't believe you woke up at 10am today." Casey added. "Yes I know I would have missed the lecture for today, alcohol is just not good for me." She grinned. "Just go and freshen up and go and get your breakfast from the kitchen." Casey tells her and stands up from the couch. "Ok I will do just that." She smiled. "I will be in the sitting room when you are done." Casey said and Astoria just nodded before Casey walked out of Astoria's bedroom.

Astoria stood up from her bed and walked tiredly into her bathroom. She took her bath and hurried out of the bathroom. She did everything in a haste because her stomach kept clumming. As much as she remembered she didn't actually have any food to eat last night she only had so much to drink and right now she is so very hungry. She grabbed her usual Bigg clothes and wore them as she hurried out of her room. She meant Casey seated on the couch and her glance was fixed on the cell phone that was in her hands that she didn't notice Astoria's presence in the sitting room. Astoria nodded her head negatively as she walked passed into the kitchen. She took her food and put it into the microwave to warm it up. She took out the food after a few minutes and also took a bottle of water from the refrigerator before heading out of the kitchen. She dropped her food on the dining table and fed her hungry stomach.

"What are you doing on the phone that is taking all your focus?" Astoria asked as she walked towards Casey on the couch and sat beside her. "It's nothing serious though, just trying to make a new discovery." Casey said. "Oh please don't do that again." Astoria frowned while Casey started laughing.

"Ok, so do you have any plans for today?" Astoria asked. "Yes but it's a secret I'm not telling you." Casey smirked. "Hmm," Astoria exhaled. "Please stop doing that." Astoria said. "Doing what?" Casey asked, smiling. "You know what you are doing, so I don't need to remain you." Astoria said.

"As far as I know, I didn't do anything wrong,"Casey said. "You know what, let's just forget about that." She stopped for a while before she continued. "But come on Casey, what are your plans for today?" Astoria asked again. "I still stand on my words baby." Casey grinned. "You are so difficult." Astoria complained. "Yeah I am and I'm happy about that." She said and stopped for a while to see Astoria facial expressions before she continued. "Well if you want to know my plans for today,go into your room and get changed." Casey added and Astoria smiled knowing she had prepared something special for her. "I love you so much Casey." Astoria said, touching Casey softly on her cheek before walking off to her bedroom. Astoria came back with a change of clothes and a little purse hanging around her shoulder.

"I'm ready,so can we go now?" Astoria asked with a small plastered on her face. "Yeah let's go." Casey replied standing up as they both walked out of their apartment.

Casey took Astoria to a mall and bought some dresses and also her usual Bigg clothes that she really loves before they finally left the mall. They were heading home when Astoria requested that she wanted a coffee."I want a coffee Casey." Astoria requested. "But why can't we get home first with all these shopping bags before coming to get a coffee." Casey suggested. "But I really feel like having a coffee now." Astoria insisted. "Ok fine then, you will stop by a coffee shop while I take all these shopping bags home, you can meet me at home later, after having the coffee you so wished for." Casey said.

"So you don't actually feel like having a coffee?" Astoria asked. "It's not like I don't want to have a coffee, it's just that I don't feel comfortable carrying all these shopping bags into a cafe all because of the coffee." She stated. "Ok fine, I will have mine and get one for you on my way back." Astoria suggested. "That's totally fine by me." She said in agreement. "Ok then." Astoria introduced the cab driver to stop her by her favorite coffee shop. She got out of the cab and mouthed a 'i will see you at home' to Casey before the cab driver drove off.

Astoria sighed and walked into the coffee shop. She walked over to a table and sat waiting to be attended to.

Tanner on the other hand was attending to other customers when he noticed an empty table that a customer was sitting from afar. He hurried over to the table to take her order. He could feel the bond of his mate on the customer he was supposed to attend and he wondered why.

"Hey sir I'm still waiting for you to take my order." Astoria spoke up and that brought him back to reality. "I.. I'm sorry miss," he apologized. "It's fine." "So what do you want to have, ma'am?" Tanner asked her. "I need a coffee." She replied. "Ok ma'am, I will be back with you coffee shortly." Tanner said and walked away. On his way to get her orders he thought of a possible reason why he felt his mate bond with her and that could only mean one thing, which was that she was not a human. She would definitely be some other being that is actually not a mere human. He took her coffee to her and he could still feel the mate bond so much.

Astoria had her coffee and ordered an extra one, which she had planned to give to Casey when she got home. Her coffee was brought to her after a while and she paid for everything and left the coffee shop. She got into her apartment and handed over the coffee to Casey. "Thanks darling." Casey smiled after taking the coffee from her. "So Casey, have you made dinner already?" She asked. "Not really, I actually wanted to but I don't know what you would have loved to have, so that's why I decided to wait for you." Casey said. "Ok but you would have just called me up." Astoria frowned.

"Oh so sorry darling, I will go make dinner now." Casey said standing up from the couch she was sitting on. "Please be fast about that because I'm famished." Astoria complained. Casey walked out to the sitting room leaving just Astoria there.

After the close of the day Tanner was finally home and now looking at his bathroom having his bath. His mind drifted off to the lady he had seen in the early hours of the evening. "How can I have a human mate?" He asked himself. "That's not possible a human can't be mated to a half werewolf but she doesn't look like someone that had the same feeling as me earlier." He thought "But could it be possible that I have a human mate because I am half human." He added. But heard a knock on his room door which disconnected him from his thoughts.

"Tanner, dinner is ready, come down immediately." His mother spoke up. "Ok mum, I will be down in a minute." He said in a way that she would hear him. "Ok son, I will be waiting but don't keep me waiting for too long." She said and he could hear her footsteps fade away.
