When Destiny Collides

Girlfriends

Zeke's POV

After the party I took Delilah to a near by park where we talked and got to know each other better.

As we sat there holding hands I was so shocked at how much we didn't know about each other.

She told me every fear, every dream, every favorite and everything she hates. I told her my entire life's story, even things I had never shared with my own parents.

Like how I resented my father for not living with us, and how even though I hated him for not always being there I still got excited when he would come around. Even now, I still had this incessant pull to make him proud.

I knew she had to go back to Austin in the morning with her grandparents.

"I'm sorry." She apologized.

I had met her grandparents at the party and they were extremely nice people, but even I could tell something was going in with her grandma.

"Don't be, your grandmother needs you." I said softly, "how about I make a trip up there next weekend and you can show me around."

Her face lit up a little and she kissed me.

It wasn't a deep kiss and definitely not our most rough or romantic kiss, no this was a lingering peck. The kind boyfriend and girlfriend exchange often.

And this made me wonder.

"Even though we're mates, does that mean you're my girlfriend now or like my fiancée?" I asked feeling stupid all of a sudden.

"Well mates are for life, so the minute you accepted me I'm pretty sure you sealed our future. But I'm gonna say I'm just your girlfriend for now." She filled me in.

"For now?"

Then she smiled a very wicked yet seductive smile "well you will marry me one day right?"

I hadn't really thought about it, I mean I just figured out she's my mate and here we are talking about marriage. Do I want to marry Delilah?

An image of Delilah in a wedding dress woke up my wolf and it made me smile.

"What are you smiling about?" She asked with a slight laugh.

I pulled her into my arms, "I don't know how old we'll be or if you'll even feel the same way about me as you do right now." I proclaimed. "But there will be a day that I bare my soul to you and ask you to be my wife, and the possibility of you accepting that proposal is what's making me smile."

Her big brown eyes were glistening with unshed tears but she wore an amazing smile.

Then I leaned down and kissed her gently, her arms came up and hugged me around my neck extending the kiss.

When Monday rolled around I practically crawled into school.

"Dude what's up with you?" Tripp asked me.

"I'm fucking exhausted bro. I stayed up talking to Delilah till 5 this morning, and I didn't get much sleep."

"That sucks." He commented.

"How are you?"

He shrugged his shoulders "my sister says I should just give her some time...apparently because she didn't flat out say she rejected me, our mates bond can still grow."

I nodded, as crazy as it all sounded, from all of the shit my dad made me learn I actually understood exactly what he was talking about.

"What did David say?" I asked.
