My defiant love

Chapter 13

Quinn's POV:

It's been a week since I went to the beach with Mel and Alex and fire supposedly smelled our mate, but like last time, no sight.

And also 2 days since my period started, so I have been at home, bored and with a wolf acting like a sad and moody teenager, so yay, great.

I'm just tidying up the house as I go, not much tidying to do since I already moved it all into their place. Ugh, it's been hours since I woke, I'm so frickin' bored and just feel so lazy sitting inside here all day.

Maybe I should go for a walk. I move myself up from the couch and walk towards the front door.

I check myself in the mirror before I go, in sweatpants and a tank top? What the hell would other people care, it's summer, they're sweaty.

I just walk along the sidewalks, crossing the road when I have to and enjoying the air. I walk past some stores in town, some restaurants.

My stomach grumbles, guess I'm hungry maybe I can take some takeout home, yeah I will.

My vacation is almost over and work times are starting soon, I deserve some late nights to myself with takeout and movies before I have to cook for myself and work my ass off.

I decide on burgers and fries from a place down the street. I order and wait for my food.

"A crispy chicken burger with cheese and pulled pork fries" a guy calls out from the front desk after after 20 minutes, "that's me" I say as I walk up to get my food.

"Tell me if the fries need more salt with how sweet you're looking" the guy winks before disappearing. I take my bag with takeout and walk out, that was so cheesy, I think my fries are just fine thank you very much.

On the way back I pass my workplace, frank probably needs a break from cooking in the summer heat, I'll stop by and say a quick hi before going home.

Frank is the head chef of the restaurant where I work as a waitress, his wife and mate Louise used to work there too, but with her old age she got sicker and sicker until one day she couldn't handle it anymore and is spending most of her time at the hospital.

I walk in the door and up behind the counter where I ring the bell to the kitchen multiple times.

"I'm coming I'm coming!" I hear frank yell inside, "quiet your yapping, it's not like the building is on fire or anything."

"My my, it's Quinn, what the hell you doing here on your day off young lady" he asks while wiping his forehead with his apron.

"Just thought you needed a break, let jasper cook for a while" I smile. " aww, now that's mighty sweet of you honey" he comes to give me a side hug. "That kid is a good cook, but he can't make a damn fish to save his life" we both chuckle at that.

"How is Louise?" I ask. He sighs, "well good thing is doctors found issue in her colon before it was too late, but she has to go through surgery." "It's gonna be okay frank, Louise is though" I place my hand on his.

We talk some more before I leave with new pastries that he's trying out and a promise to visit Louise when I can.

I climb up the stairs to my apartment and open the door where I drop my shoes. I pull out everything on the table in front of the couch where I flop down to decide what to watch.

I don't know, but I'm in the mood for some Disney, maybe inside out? Yes that one.

—————————————————————————
I have sat on the couch eating for little over an hour when Mel texted me, at first I thought it was nothing probably a picture of her and Alex or something like that, but when I saw what it was I quickly say up, she was asking if she could come over to talk because her and Alex had a fight.

I quickly replied yes and within 10 min she's here. "What's wrong Mel, tell me what happened" we sit down on the couch together, "it wasn't a big fight just a little rumble on the horses, but anyway" she continues on as she tries to take my fries but I swat her arm away.

"We where just chilling and talking about random things when we landed on the subject of our future, blah blah blah a lot of talking. He talked about how he want a big house, so I asked him if he wanna move together at some point and he said he never really thought about that, so I got a little angry and asked if he plans to leave me while he goes on to his future and he just kept opening and closing his mouth so many times that I just left."

I raise my eyebrow and take a fry to point at her. "I think he was just confused Mel" I say while eating my French fry, "many people haven't figured out their future past a certain point."

"Yeah, but we're mates, he's supposed to, we ain't going anywhere without each other" she eats a French fry.

"I think you should just go talk to him, he loves you, he's just a little confused" I pop the last one in my mouth.

"I will, but I'm gonna hang out with you, so what' ya doing?" "Nice try, no you're not" I say while hauling her ass of the couch, "go get your man." I basically slam the door behind her back when she's outside.

I clean up and then I go to bed.
