Forever Mates

Chapter 25

25.

I woke up feeling something warm and soft brushing my jaw. I smiled and put my hand up to touch it. Whatever it was, it felt good. I traced it with my index finger; trying to make a shape out of it. Suddenly the thing moved. Now it felt like a hole surrounded by something soft. I put my finger in and the hole closed. 

My eyes snapped open and I looked at whatever had my finger. My eyes traveled from my hand, to my finger, and to John's mouth.

"John, let go of my finger," I said trying to pull it back.

He shook his head, making my hand move along with his head. He bit it down harder, not hard enough to hurt but hard enough to make it impossible to move my hand back.

"You're gonna let go. Either the easy way, or the hard way." 

He opened his mouth and let go of my finger. He took my hand in his hand and kept it there.

 "So what do you want to do today?" he asked.

I thought about it for a second. Where do I want to go today? I know! "Let's go to the beach!"

He got off the bed and bowed. "Your wish is my command."

I jumped out the bed and ran to the closet to grab my swimsuit. I put on a blueberry colored bikini with a skirted bottom. It had a bow in the middle of the top. I think it looked cute.  I got a backpack and put extra clothes in there for later.

I got one of John's big shirts and put it over. lastly, I got gray gladiator sandals. 

When I got out the door John was already ready. He was in his swimming shorts without any shirt. His back looked so smooth I almost went over there and traced my fingers all over. He's probably doing this on purpose to get a reaction from me.

I'm not going to give in so easily John. I closed my eyes and tried to think of something unpleasant. That will help calm my hormones. I took three deep breaths and finally opened my eyes.

"I'm going to get breakfast," I said and quickly walked out the room.

I didn't want to wait for an answer. He would've turned around, and seeing his beautiful face would've made it harder to resist him. He is just so sexy, and handsome, and nice, and sweet, and so many things. He has me eating out of the palm of his hand and he doesn't even realize it. It's amazing what love can do to one person---

I felt something smash into me. It was a girl. The girl fell backwards and landed on her butt. 

Wow. Am I really that strong? I didn't even move an inch, and she fell all the way down. I held out my hand for the girl to take.

"You okay?"

She took my hand and stood up. "Yeah. I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going. Too much things going on in my head."

I nodded. "I know what you mean."

She had reddish brown hair that was in a low side pony tail. Her skin was sun kissed, and her eyes were the color of leafs in spring. They were the greenest color I have ever seen. She had a heart shaped face and light pink full lips.

She smiled at me then looked at my neck. Her smile became wider and she look me in the eye. "You're our Alpha's mate."

"Yeah..."

"About time he found someone."

"I'm surprised you don't know. Everybody in the pack knows."

She smiled and looked at my shoulder. "Well I was at Italy," she sighed, and got the same look Michelle gets when she talks about Allen.

"You met your mate didn't you."

She gave me a shocked look. "How did you know?"

"I know that look."

"Well yeah I met my mate. His name is Antonio Russo," she said. "Anyways... I'm sorry for bumping into you.... uh...."

"Selene. My name is Selene."

"I'm Amanda."

 "Nice to meet you Amanda. I'll see you around."

She nodded. "Bye."

I walked to the kitchen and found Vanessa staring at her plate. She was all by herself playing with her cereal. When she heard me walk in, she looked up and smiled.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

I went to the fridge and got out some eggs and bacon to cook. I turned back to Vanessa and saw her sitting in the exact same position, doing the exact same thing.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

She turned her head to me and shrugged. "Nothing."

"Come on Vanessa, I know you. There is something wrong."

"It's nothing, really."

"Vanessa."

She sighed and drop her spoon. She pushed the plate away and turned to face me. "I just feel like we aren't spending time together. Like---like we are always with our mates and haven't been with each other. I kind off miss the days when it was just you, me, Allen, and David." The corners of her mouth twitched. "I even miss the days when you and David use to fight all the time, and not even Allen could get you to shut up."

I smiled at the memory. "Yeah, I miss those days too." Suddenly I got an idea. "Why don't we all hang out tomorrow? We're on spring break, we have all the week. We could do something fun tomorrow."

Her eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! I'll go tell Allen and David." She ran out the kitchen and I laughed. A couple seconds later she came back. "By the way, your eggs and bacon are burning."

"Shit!"

I turned around just in time to save them. Phew, close one. I put my food on a plate and started eating them. John came down the stairs when I was halfway done to eating my food.

"Good morning." He bend down to kiss my cheek and went to get his mug of coffee.

"Morning."

He poured coffee in his cup and started putting a lot of sugar in it.

"You know a sugar is a silent killer."

"I know," he said, then started gulping down the coffee like it was water. He put his mug in the sink and smiled at me.

"You ready?"

I nodded and stood up. "Let me just get my backpack."

I ran upstairs and grabbed my backpack. When I came downstairs John was standing by the door with his keys in his hand.

"Let's go."

I closed the door behind me and walked to John's car.
