Strong One

Chapter 50 All Good Things

Griffin POV

"Ryker, long time no see, can I join you?" she says and goes to sit down in the seat next to Ryker. Only Ryker puts his arm along the back of the chair and holds it into the table, so she can't move it at all.  "No, you can't" he says.  She raises her eyebrows looking a little shocked at this but, then turns and smiles at Ethan.  I crinkle my nose as she smells bad.

"Ethan, I heard you were ill, all recovered I see" she says.  I can detect her dislike for him though. Ethan looks at her and then turns to Ryker.  "Who is she? I can't remember her" he says to Ry. Who tries and fails to hide his amusement.  "I'm sorry, but no-one seems to like you here and you really, and I mean really smell!  Please leave us alone" I say holding my nose.

She glares at me "looking at me isn't going to solve your problem.  I suggest you go home and wash, well" I tell her.  She looks towards Ry, but he is looking at me smiling lovingly towards me. She stomps her foot and walks away.

"Good job we had finished eating" I shudder as the smell still lingers.  "She did seem to have a lot of perfume on" E says.  "What is that?" I ask "people put it on, to smell nice" E explains.  "Then she should see a doctor as her nose is broken!" I exclaim shaking my head and fanning the air trying to get rid of the smell.

Ethan and Ryker roar out laughing, Ethan gives me a hug and Ry, squeezes my hand.  I don't know what is so funny, but I love to hear them laugh.  "I need to pee" I say suddenly feeling the urge, "do you want me to come with you?" E asks

I look at him to see if he's joking.  But it doesn't appear he is. "No, I can take myself to the bathroom now.  I never pee on the seat anymore" I assure him.  He nods and moves in a little to let me pass.

While I'm washing my hands, the woman who stopped by the table walks in.

"You think your all that don't you? He'll get bored of you soon enough" she says.  I look at her trying not to breath to deeply.  "You don't have to stop and talk to me.  We aren't friends" I tell her.  I dry my hands and go to leave.  "He really will get bored of you" she repeats.

She really needs help! I think to myself.  "I SAID WE AREN'T FRIENDS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP AND TALK TO ME. YOU SHOULD GO FOR A FULL CHECK-UP.   AS YOUR NOSE AND HEARING MIGHT NOT BE THE ONLY PROBLEM!" I say loudly hoping she heard me this time.

I walk back to the table and my mates are giving me such a hot look, that it makes our mating bond tingle.  "Everything okay Fin?" E asks "of course, I had to tell that poor woman she should go see a doctor.  She spoke to me and I told her she didn't have too, she's no-one to me.  But she talked again" I say sighing.  "Her nose mustn't be the only thing that needs treating.  I think she might have a hearing problem too" I tell them, sitting next to Ry.  He pulls the chair out and moves it a little closer to him.  So, I can feel his body heat.

E singles the server "you don't need desert do you, Fin?" E asks "I think he wants to make you our desert" Ry links.  I blink and blush a little "no, I can be your desert" I say leaning into Ryker a little.  "Just the cheque then, please" E asks the server.

"Come on we can pay on the way out" Ry says helping me up.  We walk to the front of the restaurant and E pays before we leave.   I put my arms through both of their arms feeling very happy and full.  As we near the truck, I feel rather than see.  The rock thrown towards us.  I turn and catch it.  I can't see where it came from.  I drop it to the floor.  "Are you alright? It didn't hurt your hand, did it?" Ry asks checking my hand over.  He kisses it, seeing its fine.

E helps me into the truck and smacks my ass as I slide in.  "Can we go to our clearing?" I ask. Ryker pauses as he goes to turn the truck on and looks at me.  I can feel Ethan looking at me too. "I'd like to make love to you both, under the moonlight" I explain.  The truck fires up and Ethan helps me on with my seatbelt, while Ryker drives out the carpark quickly.
