Convincing My Mate

hey! Read and VOTE!! lalala im happy :D

Spencer

Glaring at Wren, I turned my steely gaze at Brina.  

"Hope this is worth it," I growled.  

Kerri has a date with another guy. Not just any guy, but Wren of all people. The guy was a total ass. Pissed doesn't begin to cover what I feel right now.  

Ushering the girls out of my office space, I lead the way to the shiny elevators.  

On the walk to Rossalyn's Deli, I kept a trained eye on the ground. 

"Spence, I'm sorry! I thought we could talk about a plan of attack." 

"Attack? What the h-" Tensing up, I tightly shut my eyes. I tried to avoid cussing in front of my sisters. "Brina, please explain yourself more thoroughly." 

"I was trying to before but you kept shutting me out Spencer!" 

"Because you upset me, I didn't want you shouting in my head!" 

"Stop being a baby, it's not like she doesn't like you." 

"What do you want?" I grumbled pulling my wallet out from my back pocket.  

The girls ordered sanwiches and wraps with different soft drinks and chips. I got my usual sub and barbeque chips.  

"Do you want to hear it?" 

"Hear what?" 

"The plan," Stella rolled her eyes, taking a bite from her Italian wrap.  

I shrugged. "Sure, amuse me."

After lunch, I walked the girls to the movies and went back to work. Kerri, was gone at a photo shoot. It defiantly kills because I can't hear or smell her.  

Trying to make the time go by quicker, I tired to focus completely on my task at hand. Turning, a lime green camera over in my hand, I examined it's features. Getting bored with that and distracted by Kerri's absence, I set it down and got on the Internet. Using a search engine, I looked up pictures of sheep. Yes sheep because that was the first thing that popped up when I hit the 'S' key.  

Sheep. More sheep. Chocolate sheep. Sheepskin boots. Sheep meat. Sheep.  

Fuck! Where is she?  

Wow, I suppose the friend base isn't going to go well if I can't control myself right now in the midst of her absence. The girls suggested that I become friends with Kerri first because good relationships start with a good friendship. The thing is I'm not sure if that applies with mates. But it's not like I have much knowledge on mates to object to their idea. After our friendship is complete, I can start making moves. Why do I feel like this is going to take a lot out of me?  

I just want to move in and get my girl. I don't find it desirable at all to have to wait a few months, or whenever our good friendship base completes itself, to start making moves. Plus, it's a little late for that since we've been hanging out together; flirting doesn't seem like something a friend would do.  

Is it possible for us to form the friendship while we're on our journey to a relationship or in one? That's be more ideal. But then, whatever makes us a better couple is good with me.  

Grasping a random sheet of paper, I crumpled it up and reached for another sheet.  

I just need Kerri. And I also need this feelimg of need to go away. It's only been three days. I can't want to do all the things to her that I want to do, from only three days of knowing her existence. It's not right. It's pig-headed of me. But then, I also want to be with her, in a fully committed relationship.
