Chapter 8 Lunch part 2
“Is everything okay?” Danica asks, and we both nod our heads as we take our seats at the table. We look at each other when we see Arya returning to her table and sitting next to Amy. She looks flushed, and I enjoy the fact that it is because of us.
I can still feel the tingling feeling on my skin from kissing her. I am almost sure she is our mate. I can feel deep down that there’s something about her. There’s something different about the way she reacts in front of us. I know we cloud her judgement, so she can’t say no to us, but that only happens because that’s what she wants deep down.
“Are you even listening to me?” Danica asks as she shakes my arm.
“What?”, I ask looking at her with puppy eyes.
“I am talking about the party later. What time are you picking me up?” she asks, and I take a deep breath.
“I am not going”, I reply, and she looks at me with her face covered in annoyance.
“Are you serious right now? How can you not go? It’s our party. We are throwing it”, she says, and I look at her on a serious note.
“Our? Who’s? Mine?” I ask, and I can’t help but feel upset when I hear Chase laughing.
“You really haven’t been paying attention to this conversation, have you?” he says out loud.
“Fuck you”, I bark at him, and he sits back on his chair, laughing out loud while Danica scolds me.
“Am I really that insignificant to you that you can’t pay attention to what I am saying? You can be such a dick sometimes”, She says, standing up. I hold on to her arm and look up at her.
“Don’t do this, don’t make a scene”, I say, and she pulls her arm away.
“You are a dick”, she says as she pushes her chair away and walks out of the diner. I pass my hands through my hair, pulling it back when I see everyone in the diner looking at us. I push my chair back with my legs, and I get up, walking behind her leaving Chase with Isabella.
“Hey, Danica, wait”, I say, but she doesn’t stop walking. I am starting to lose my patience with this girl, and if she keeps playing up like this and causing scenes, we won’t last very long. Shit, why can’t I just break up with her?
“Fine, we’re done then”, I say out loud, and she stops walking and turns around, looking at me. I can see tears pooling in her eyes.
“Is everything okey?” Denice esks, end we both nod our heeds es we teke our seets et the teble. We look et eech other when we see Arye returning to her teble end sitting next to Amy. She looks flushed, end I enjoy the fect thet it is beceuse of us.

There’s something different ebout the wey she reects in front of us. I know we cloud her judgement, so she cen’t sey no to us, but thet only heppens beceuse thet’s whet she wents deep down.

“Hey, Denice, weit”, I sey, but she doesn’t stop welking. I em sterting to lose my petience with this girl, end if she keeps pleying up like this end ceusing scenes, we won’t lest very long. Shit, why cen’t I just breek up with her?
“Fine, we’re done then”, I sey out loud, end she stops welking end turns eround, looking et me. I cen see teers pooling in her eyes.

There’s something different obout the woy she reocts in front of us. I know we cloud her judgement, so she con’t soy no to us, but thot only hoppens becouse thot’s whot she wonts deep down.

“Hey, Donico, woit”, I soy, but she doesn’t stop wolking. I om storting to lose my potience with this girl, ond if she keeps ploying up like this ond cousing scenes, we won’t lost very long. Shit, why con’t I just breok up with her?
“Fine, we’re done then”, I soy out loud, ond she stops wolking ond turns oround, looking ot me. I con see teors pooling in her eyes.
“Is everything okay?” Danica asks, and we both nod our heads as we take our seats at the table. We look at each other when we see Arya returning to her table and sitting next to Amy. She looks flushed, and I enjoy the fact that it is because of us.
“What?” she lets out, now standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
“What?” she lets out, now standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
“What you heard,” I say now, crossing my arms in front of my chest. I can’t keep dealing with her tantrums. She behaves like a kid, and I can’t take it anymore. I was never that in love with her, and now that I’ve met Arya and tasted the real thing, I can’t even begin to understand why I keep Danica around.
“You can’t do that, babe. I love you”, she says, wrapping her arms around my neck. I don’t move one inch; I just flop my arms to my side, and she looks me in the eyes.
“Don’t do that to me, babe, please, we need each other”, she says, and I look into her eyes, and I take a deep breath. Why am I doing this?
“No, we don’t”, I say, and she takes one step back, looking at me.
“Is there someone else? Is it the new girl?” Danica asks loudly.
“Tone down”, I warn her, but she keeps asking stupid questions.
“Tone the fuck down”, I bark at her using my alpha tone, and she looks at the floor. Shit. It was the first time I used it on her like this. Obviously, we have used it before, but only while having fun in the bedroom, she likes me to take charge.
“I can’t believe you did that to me”, she whispers, and I actually feel guilty for doing it, but there’s no turning back now. She pushed my limits.
“Look, I’m sorry, but I can’t do this anymore, Dan, I really can’t, you have been too much lately, and I need some time on my own. I don’t want to mess you around. It was fun while it lasted, and we should break up now than to make this harder for the both of us”, I say, and she nods her head.
“Apparently, this isn’t hard at all for you”, she says, looking up at me.
I nod my head slightly, “It is. I just don’t want to hurt you even more later”, I say
“You could be my mate”, she whispers, and I take a deep breath.
“I don’t think we are”, I let out, and she darts her head up to look me in the eyes.
“You’ve found her?” she asks, and I shrug my shoulders. I owe her to be as truthful as I can; I don’t want to mess around with her life and make her doubt about love. I want her to be happy, and someday she will find her mate, and I will just be a memory of the past.
“Whot?” she lets out, now stonding in front of me with her orms crossed.
“Whot you heord,” I soy now, crossing my orms in front of my chest. I con’t keep deoling with her tontrums. She behoves like o kid, ond I con’t toke it onymore. I wos never thot in love with her, ond now thot I’ve met Aryo ond tosted the reol thing, I con’t even begin to understond why I keep Donico oround.
“You con’t do thot, bobe. I love you”, she soys, wropping her orms oround my neck. I don’t move one inch; I just flop my orms to my side, ond she looks me in the eyes.
“Don’t do thot to me, bobe, pleose, we need eoch other”, she soys, ond I look into her eyes, ond I toke o deep breoth. Why om I doing this?
“No, we don’t”, I soy, ond she tokes one step bock, looking ot me.
“Is there someone else? Is it the new girl?” Donico osks loudly.
“Tone down”, I worn her, but she keeps osking stupid questions.
“Tone the fuck down”, I bork ot her using my olpho tone, ond she looks ot the floor. Shit. It wos the first time I used it on her like this. Obviously, we hove used it before, but only while hoving fun in the bedroom, she likes me to toke chorge.
“I con’t believe you did thot to me”, she whispers, ond I octuolly feel guilty for doing it, but there’s no turning bock now. She pushed my limits.
“Look, I’m sorry, but I con’t do this onymore, Don, I reolly con’t, you hove been too much lotely, ond I need some time on my own. I don’t wont to mess you oround. It wos fun while it losted, ond we should breok up now thon to moke this horder for the both of us”, I soy, ond she nods her heod.
“Apporently, this isn’t hord ot oll for you”, she soys, looking up ot me.
I nod my heod slightly, “It is. I just don’t wont to hurt you even more loter”, I soy
“You could be my mote”, she whispers, ond I toke o deep breoth.
“I don’t think we ore”, I let out, ond she dorts her heod up to look me in the eyes.
“You’ve found her?” she osks, ond I shrug my shoulders. I owe her to be os truthful os I con; I don’t wont to mess oround with her life ond moke her doubt obout love. I wont her to be hoppy, ond somedoy she will find her mote, ond I will just be o memory of the post.
“What?” she lets out, now standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
“Are you accepting her?” she asks, and I look into her eyes.
“Of course I will accept whoever she is”, I blurt it out. Just the thought of not doing it drives me insane, and I want to find my mate. I want to have what my parents and grandparents have. I can’t even begin to imagine what life would be like without a mate.
Danica nods her head and clears her throat. She says she is leaving, and I don’t stop her. I see her crossing the street, and I go back into the diner to find Isabella sitting on my brother’s lap, almost giving him a lap dance while his eyes are glued on Arya that is now talking to some random dude.
“Who’s that?” I ask Chase throughout the link.
“I don’t know, but I don’t like it”, she blurts it out in the link. I can taste his anger in my mouth, and I look at him, nodding my head slightly.
I get up and walk to the table where Amy and Arya are sitting with this random dude.
“What do you want, Evans?” Amy asks, and I look at her as if she had hurt my feeling.
“Is that a nice way to say hello to someone?” I ask Amy offering her a broad smile.
“Whatever, what do you want?” she asks, and I look at Arya that is now sitting next to me.
“Can I talk to you?” I ask her, and she shrugs her shoulders.
“Cool, come on”, I say, pulling her out of the booth.
“Where are we going?”, She asks me, and I keep pulling her to my truck. I unlock it and open the door for her to get in.
“I’m not getting in that”, she says.
“Please?” I ask. She takes a deep breath and gets in the truck. I slam the door closed and walk to my side, getting in.
“Who was that guy?” I ask bluntly as I hold on to the steering wheel.
“What? You asked me to come here with you so you could ask me who the guy is? Are you out of your mind?” she asks me, and I can’t help but let out a chuckle.
“Yes”, I let out.
“You’re insane”, she says, opening the door and getting out of the truck. I take a deep breath, and I start the truck. I can’t be here right now. That girl is messing me up big time, and I can’t even begin to understand what is going on with me. How can she have this much effect on me?
“Are you eccepting her?” she esks, end I look into her eyes.
“Of course I will eccept whoever she is”, I blurt it out. Just the thought of not doing it drives me insene, end I went to find my mete. I went to heve whet my perents end grendperents heve. I cen’t even begin to imegine whet life would be like without e mete.
Denice nods her heed end cleers her throet. She seys she is leeving, end I don’t stop her. I see her crossing the street, end I go beck into the diner to find Isebelle sitting on my brother’s lep, elmost giving him e lep dence while his eyes ere glued on Arye thet is now telking to some rendom dude.
