The Mate Rules

CHAPTER SIX

Blake's POV

Erin and I spent the whole day in her office, doing the paperworks that needed her attention. I looked at the time and saw that it was already six in the afternoon. "I think you should call it a day." I told her while pointing at my watch.

She picked up her phone and looked at the time. "Oh, I didn't notice." She muttered while stacking up the papers and putting them aside. "Let's go?" She asked me as she stood up and picked up her handbag.  

"Okay." I nodded and put my hand on her shoulder. We walked out of her office and passed by some of her employees. We bid farewell and headed to the car then drove home.

"Home sweet home!" She squealed as we entered the house. She slumped on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked her after I sat down beside her. "Should I just order?" I added after turning the television on.

She leaned in my chest and I put my arms around her back. "Sure. Order Japanese food." She muttered.

I shook my head, "No. I don't eat Japanese food babe."

She pulled away from me and raised her eyebrows. "And why is that? Japanese food is my favorite." She pouted and crossed her arms.

I laughed at her expression. She was like a child that had her lollipop taken away from her. She's so adorable with her lips pouted like that.

I reached for her lip and trailed my finger over it. I felt her shiver from my touch. I leaned in closer and pressed my lips on hers. She kissed me back and I bit her lip, asking for entrance. She opened her mouth and I let my tongue dance with hers. My tongue was roaming inside her mouth, tasting her sweetness. I guess we won't be needing that dinner anymore.

I pulled her up and placed her on my lap, straddling me. I left her lips and trailed kisses down her jaw and into the mark on her neck. I sucked it lightly, making her moan. Her hands were already unbuckling my belt and I was about to pull her shirt up when..

"Surprise!" a female voice shouted from the door.

Erin's POV

Things were alreading heating up between Blake and I when all of a sudden, a female voice squealed. Oh, I would recognize that voice anywhere. "Mom?" I muttered while jumping away from Blake to fix myself up. He did the same and stood beside me.

My mom looked amused as she came closer to Blake and I. "You didn't lock the door, you horn dogs." She exclaimed and grinned.

I groaned and put my hand on my forehead. Oh God, my mom can really be annoying sometimes. I looked at Blake and noticed the amused expression on his face. "How did you know where I live now, Mom?" I sat back on the couch while Blake stood near me.

My mom made her way towards the couch and sat beside me. "Derek told me. Your dad would've wanted to come too, but Issy's parents are at the house." She glanced at Blake and nudged me on the side. "So, that fine ass there is your mate?"

"Mom!" I glared at her and she just grinned. "You know he can hear you, right? If Dad were here.."

She interrupted me. "Oh if he's here, I know he won't mind." She winked at me then made her way towards Blake. "I'm Emma by the way." She said while offering her hand.

Blake took it and smiled. "I'm Blake. Pleased to meet you."

"Aw, you're so cute!" My mom giggled and I rolled my eyes while Blake chuckled. "Oh and.." She was interrupted with the ringing of her phone. She took it out of her bag and looked at the screen. "I gotta take this." She excused herself and went out of the living room.

I sighed and looked at Blake. "I'm sorry about that. She can be a little "teen-spirited" sometimes." I said while putting air quotes on the teen spirited.

Blake chuckled and sat down beside me. "It's okay. She's funny, I like her." He muttered and kissed my forehead.

"Okay lovebirds, I gotta go.." My mom said after returning back to the room. "Your dad just called and he needs me back."

Blake and I got up and accompanied her to the door. We bid our goodbyes and she left after we promised that we would be visiting her and Dad soon.

As soon as I closed the door, Blake immediately started kissing me. I pulled away from him and pointed at my stomach. "I'm hungry." I muttered. He laughed and gave me one last kiss before picking up the phone and ordering our food.

Erin's POV

"I thought you don't eat Japanese food?" I asked Blake as we were eating our sushi.

He was almost done eating and he drank before answering. "I didn't, until now."

I swallowed my last piece of sushi and looked at him. "This is your first time?" I asked in disbelief.

He nodded and answered. "Yup. Before, my mom usually won't..." He stopped in mid sentence and his face turned serious. "Nevermind." He muttered before standing up and cleaning the table.

He was about to go out of the kitchen but I stopped him. "What's the matter?" I held his arm and turned him around to face me.

He looked into my eyes and glared. "I said it's nothing. Leave it alone." He said and pushed my hand away.

I huffed and shouted. "Fine. Don't tell me! Who am I anyway? I'm just your goddamn mate!" I pushed him out of the way and stormed out of the kitchen. I made my way up to our room and locked the door behind me. What was his problem? I was just asking a simple question and he just flipped at me. I got on the bed and pulled the covers over my head as I cried my eyes out.

Blake's POV

I messed my hair up in frustration. I regret flipping at my mate but I can't help it. Whenever I remember my pathetic excuse of a mother, I can't stop myself from getting angry. Even when Erin is upstairs, I can hear that she's crying. It kills me inside to know that I was the one that made her cry. What was I doing? I have my mate here and I'm letting my good for nothing mother ruin my relationship with her. I'm not gonna let that happen! I made my way up the stairs and into our room. I was about to open it but I found out that it's locked. Erin and I both know that I can break the door apart but I won't do that.

I pressed my forehead on the door and listened to Erin's muffled sobs. "Baby, I'm sorry." I muttered as I slumped myself down on the floor and rested my head on my hands. I would wait for her to open this door up. And I promise that when she did, I'm gonna open all my secrets up too.
