"Aziki, please

"Aziki, please. I'm coming over." Adrian said over the phone. It's been three days since he left and he's been calling me ever since. Talk about annoying.

"No. Adrian, I have to go."

"I'll explain everything! Even what happened in Romania."

"Now you want to tell me," I said in an annoyed voice.

I am contemplating though. He stole my memories, and I do want to know what happened.

"When I have time, you can come over." I said

"Really?"

"Yes. Bye." I said

"No wait! Have you eaten?"

I scowled.

"Adrian, just stop. Stop acting like you care?" I said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't give me that Aziki. Have you eaten?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Yesterday... morning" I sighed out. " It's not your business anymore, Adrian."

"The heck it isn't! Aziki, I'm coming over right now! Have you slept?"

"You will do no such thing! And why does it matter?" I shouted

"Aziki, have you slept?" he asked, completely ignoring my outburst.

"No." I said annoyed.

"I'm coming now," he said, hanging up abruptly.

Ahhh! His audacity. I'm leaving right now! I doubt I'll have time for a confrontation since the pack's been under intense training for the last couple of days. I haven't had shut-eye since the last time with Adrian and that's considerably a long time if you incorporate the harsh training I've been enduring. Truthfully, I've been a bit bummed ever since I found Adrian has been lying to me. It's only because I trusted him. I never would expect him to lie and even worse, interfere with my mind. That's a line that no-one should ever have crossed.

I honestly don't know if I'll forgive him. And then he wants to come over? NO! He'll just wipe my memory again.

"Woolcock!" a loud voice thundered. A long sigh escaped me. Here comes my other problem.

"In my office," I say in a dejected voice. I really have no time for Xavier right now.

I hear his heavy footsteps echo through the house as he approaches me.

"Woah! You look like death!"

"Where have you been?" I said cutting any formalities.

He cleared his throat.

"A-away..." he stuttered.

"Xavier," I said in a stern voice. "Look at me. I'm not in the mood for your games. Let me ask again, where have you been?"
