((Picture of Jason Sumpter, AKA gay bestie of Layla... Continuing in Layla POV))
Slightly agitated by the bumbling Adam, I ended up avoiding small talk as soon as he arrived. Quickly, I plopped down at my small, wooden computer desk and opened my laptop. The bright start screen appeared and I typed in my password. As soon as I was logged in, I noticed several notifications on Skype from Jason. Instantly, I felt guilt consume my very soul over the fact that I neglected to remember my best friend.Me: Hey! Emergency call, new student!
Jason swiftly replied by calling, within seconds his cheery face popped up on the screen.
"Finally" he drawled out, "I thought you forgot all about me..." The corners of his mouth dipped down, a frown beginning to mar his face.
"Never could I forget you, I've been meaning to call, but I got a little" I paused blushing slightly, forgetting about Adam's presence "Busy."
"Oooo!" Jason exclaimed quite flamboyantly, clearly catching on to the fact that someone had captured my flighty attention.
"Is it tall, hot, and handsome behind you?" He questioned curiously, with almost a hint of jealousy within his voice.
"Actually, No. This is Adam, our newest student of F.U."
Adam's face heated up slightly as he stuttered out a "Hello."
"He's so adorable !" Jason gushed. "Does he really need lessons? I mean, he's too pure for this world; We shouldn't taint him!"
I coughed slightly, "But he needs to learn to stick up for himself more."
Adam looked like a down trodden puppy as the words fell from my mouth. The next sentence that floated out of his mouth surprised me "I like who I am Layla, please don't try and change me."
Before I could even respond, Jason quipped "looks like you were wroooong, this cutie does not need our help." He slicked back his hair, leaned back in his desk chair and muttered under his breath "I might need his though."
My brows scrunched in confusion at Jason's last quiet remark. Adam seemed just as confused as I. Although, my eye caught the time in the corner of my screen and my heart began to beat faster.
"Hey I gotta go, Jason! I've gotta get ready... I'll fill you in on everything later!" I took a steadying breath and smiled at him "I swear."
"Alright you lil' Dicker, see you soon" he stated fully as he reached to end the call.

(Two hours later ... Five o'clock )
I fingered the silky sides of my ankle long dress as I contemplated knocking on the door to my mates impressive house. He mentioned a gathering was being held at his home and he wanted me there to meet some of his pack. Although, the idea of his pack - something he described as an overprotective family - not liking me sent my breathing into overdrive. I wanted the pack to love me as much as they loved Nick, but I was an outsider with a target on her back. It would be insane for anyone in that house to ever welcome me into the fold, except for Nick. My breathing spiked at the thought of him and his fluffy chestnut hair. Before my mind could get too wrapped up in silly thoughts, the door swung open to reveal an average sized brunette.
"Hiya," She chirped happily "do you have business here?" She asked not opening the door any further to let me in.
"Uhm," I hummed slightly "I guess you could say that. Nick invited me here, he said he was having a small get together and wanted me to meet some people."
There was a flash of something in her eyes, but it was gone in an instant as she opened the door and welcomed me in. "Please, come in. You're a little early, everyone else will start arriving around six and will stay for awhile after."
"I'm Layla Pentley by the way" I introduced myself, offering my hand out to shake.
"Nice to meet you," she murmured looking at my hand and then away. "I'll go get the alpha, he's just upstairs showering." She pointed and started making her way towards the stairs, but I stopped her.
"I'll find him," I stated in a steely voice that I barely recognized as my own.
I did not even spare her a second glance. The thought that she would see what was mine frustrated me beyond belief. I trudged up the stairs towards the sound of water running. I tentatively called out for him, but stuttered slightly. It annoyed me to no end the impact this man had on my mind.
The water turned off and I crept forward to investigate. As I began reaching for the door knob, it opened and I came face to face with a very enticing chest. My mouth seemed to have gone dry. My tongue darted out to wet my lips and a cough from Nick sent me stumbling out of my reprieve.
"Enjoying the view princess?" He questioned, a devious smirk graced his beautiful features as he adjust the towel around his waist.
I blushed furiously and looked at my hands, seemingly tongue tied at the moment. "Maybe, maybe not" I muttered under my breath "you'll never know."
He leaned down towards me, push a strand behind my ear he stated matter of factly "i think that blush on your face gives me a pretty good indication of your thoughts," he paused and wiggled his eyebrows at me "I know you want it."
I laughed at his playful nature and stepped back into his room to let him grab a change of clothes. Instead of going back into the bathroom to change, he turned his back on me and dropped the towel that was around his waist. Revealing a perfectly sculpted ass. Again, I felt my face heat up as I realized I was enjoying the view a little too much. I swear, I'm turning into a horny teenager with the more time spent with my dill pickle of a mate.
"Please, dear lord, help me" I muttered under my breath, willing the burning sensation in my cheeks as well as other parts to subside
