My Best Friends Are What?

8. Nervous mate

Tinsley's POV

I headed down to Darius' room so we could talk about everything between us and about my mate.

I wanted to be with him. He is my mate, how could I not love him. He was made for me.

Oh fucking hell, I'm turning into the biggest softie.

I knocked on Darius' door and he yelled to come in. I walked in and he was shirtless and lifting weights.

He looked so delicious. But not as good as my mate.

I sat down on his lap and he put his weights down.

"Baby" he purred.

"Hey Darius"

He lifted us both up and dropped us on the bed.

"We need to talk"

"About what?"

"Darius... I um... I found my mate"

"Just reject him and be with me"

"You wouldn't do that with your mate"

"I already have"

"What?"

"I've found my mate already. I rejected her because I only wanted to be with you"

"Darius no... You... You can't do that"

"I love you Tinsley. I only want to be with you"

"Darius I'm sorry. But I need to be with my mate"

"Can we just have one last minute together then?"

I sat in his lap and he just held me tight.

"Just remember Tinsley that I will always love you"

"I'll always love you too Darius"

I gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking towards my mate's room.

I opened the door slightly and he was doing homework.

I walked up behind him and looked over his shoulder. Wow he was smart.

I tapped him on the shoulder and he yelped.

"Tinsley you scared me"

I smiled cheekily at him, grabbed a baseball off his desk and flopped down on the bed.

I started throwing it up into the air and catching it when it came back down.

He stayed at the desk and I waved him over to the bed but he just stayed.

I waltzed over to him and sat on his lap and he looked uncomfortable. He didn't even move his hands or anything, didn't even try to touch me.

"Phoenix" I groaned while placing my head in the crook of his neck.

"Ummm"

I held his head in place and trailed kisses all along his neck, leaving hickeys everywhere I kissed and sucked.

He moaned and I started trailing my kisses up getting closer to his lips.

Just as I was about to kiss him he pushed me off of him and ran towards the door.

I grabbed his arm to stop him and sat him down on the bed. I sat down next to him and just stared at him. He glanced over here but once we caught eye contact he quickly looked away.

"What's up with you?"

"Nothing"

"Why won't you kiss me? I want you to claim me and mate with me"
