It's been three weeks.. Three weeks since I went off on her. Three weeks since I've been feeling like shit. Three weeks since I've been able to do anything right.
I honestly didn't mean to snap at her.. hell I don't even know why I did.
'Yeah, you acted like a douche to your fated mate on her first day ! What in the fucking world were you thinking?!'
'Why would you ask me that?!!! You live in my head, you know what I was thinking. You were supposed to make me shut the fuck up or something but you let me rant!" I screamed back at Ritchie in my head.
We've been having this argument since that day. He was so angry with me that I couldn't shift for three days. I really fucked up.
'Nope you bastard, not today. I won't let you pin your mistake on me. You tuned me out. And you were thinking with your dick!. The things she said hurt you. You just didn't want to be judged by her .-'
'- You didn't want her to see you as a monster but you over reacted. And now she's acting all nice to you. Probably scared that the next time you snap, she'd be loosing her job '
" You know I wouldn't do that, Ritchie " I sighed in defeat. He's right. I didn't like the fact that she saw me as snobbish and spoilt. It irked me totally. But I just couldn't help it. I need her to like me. I'm supposed to be making her like me... But here I am... fucking things up.
I leaned back into my seat resolving to apologize to her, tell her that I didn't mean to snap but I meant everything I said. We have a meeting in 7 minutes. I would apologize to her after that.
I stood up to stand by my window and mentally prepare myself for this meeting. It's a meeting with the annoying board members...
And my father would be there.
My phone rang cutting into my thoughts. I looked at the caller ID to see that Fred was the one calling. I thought of ignoring it but I haven't heard from him since he left for his hit so I picked up.
"Look who decided to call after how long? Four weeks?" I said leaning on my table staring at the picture of me on my background.
" Oh wow.. I see I was missed. Tell me, what exactly did you miss? My impeccable sense of humor, my adorable looks, my warmth-" I could literally see him grining.
"Fred, I believe I wasn't disturbed to listen to your terrible jokes. I have-"
"'Really important work to do' . Yeah I know....I've heard that a million and one times. And I'm going to tell you again and again that I do not give two fucks." I sighed at his tantrum. It never gets old. I'm tired of fighting it. I just let it happen.
"What is it, Fernando?"
"Oh it's nothing that should concern you, seeing as you do not want your mate anymore. She's pretty you know.. if I could just get her to denounce you she'd-"
"I advise you choose your next set of words carefully, Fernando. You are on thin ice." I threatened him.
"Pray tell, what would the big bad alpha do huh? Beat me? Feel free to beat me to pulp after you apologize to her, Raymond. Or else, well..you know how well my charms work...Holla Alpha" He said hanging up.
I sighed leaning backwards. Darius must have told him what happened. And I know Fred is really angry at me right now. He likes Anna very much. He's been the one keeping an eye on her besides Jason. And she has grown on him without meeting him at all. He said she reminds him of his sister, I kinda accept because their personalities are so similar so I really can't blame him. I'm a certified Dick.
I heard a soft knock on my door. I assumed it was Annabeth indicating that it was time for the meeting.
I took a deep breath and put myself together. I gave myself a once over at the bathroom mirror. I saw my fake sinister smile creeping in.
Let's go get some balls.
************************
Well, the meeting went smoother than I expected. I didn't get interrupted, neither did father spill too much venom as he used to. But he managed to get on my nerves. This time around at the tippy top.
I caught him sending flirtous glances to Anna. Sizing and checking her out like a new toy that had his complete attention.
I wanted to snap at him, but I didn't want to add more targets to her back. My dad is the last person you'd want to notice you... I decided to keep my cool and try to focus on my meeting, but that almost didn't work.
How in this fucking world can I stay here speaking jibberish when my mate is basically being eye fucked by that excuse I have as a father.
Through out my entire life, the thought of killing his ass off has never sounded this appealing...ever. I'm pretty sure that if Fernando was close by, a single noiseless bullet through the ears was more than enough to put my misery away....
But I was... I'm not ready to put away this part . I couldn't pull the trigger at him... Which was funny because I can't pull the trigger at the person who tries to pull one at him either.
I just the felt so useless.
Luckily before the end of the meeting, his eyes had found something else to feast his horrible eyes on.
I looked quickly at Annabeth to see marks of anger etched in her face.
What happened?
I continued my presentation, rounding up and making my way to my seat I whispered; 'Do not leave after the meeting..'
She just gave a small laugh but didn't turn to look at me. She just kept her poker face on. I couldn't read or smell any emotions coming off her. She's so good at masking them
It was scary to say the least.
Then She turned to look at me. Anger completely clouding her entire eyes.
Yep, I'm dead.
