Chapter 13:

Rejection's a b***h

This felt right.

I felt safe.

Alive.

Happy.

I just can't believe I would be in Archer's arms again. After I rejected him I wouldn't have thought Fate would put us back together. I thought I would have a second chance mate and get the chance to live another life with a different man but I guess not. The truth is I'm glad it turned out to be with Archer again, I wouldn't have imagined a future with someone else.

I still love him, I always have and always will but this time it felt like our bond was stronger than before. I felt a bigger pull towards and all I wanted to do was kiss every single corner of him until my lips hurt. My heart was beating rapidly and I think I forgot how to breathe. This definitely never happened to me before and to be franc, it scared me because I haven't felt any emotions in two years and suddenly everything is coming back up, my heart doesn't feel as cold as it used to, I feel loved and I love back. Now that's something I haven't felt in a while.

"Um...Lexi?"

I pulled away from Archer desperate for air and I smiled at him. He returned it with a full on smile that cut off all the air circulating in my body.

I mustn't be functioning properly right now. I think my system is completely down.

I lost myself in his beautiful pools of blue orbs that washed me away up to cloud nine. I was probably gazing at him like he was an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top. I bet my eyes were glistening and drool was drooping down my mouth but I can't tell for sure because right now, all I can manage to feel or do is my love for this one guy. He's my world right now.

Then I was pulled away from Archer's arms and where I felt all cozy and warm was instantly taken over by an uncomfortable chill. Shivers ran up and down my body as I stared in his confused expression. I felt so hurt right now, I want to comfort him and be in his arms again. It's all I wish for.

"Lexi!"

I didn't acknowledge the person who was trying to draw my attention away from Archer.

"Lexi!"

The person tried again but all I could hear is blah blah blah.

Then the man I love opened his mouth and my name came out.

"Lexi"

Oh how that rolled perfectly off of his tongue. I smiled and looked at him.

"Yes" I sounded pathetic.

"Clarissa's a bitch."

I laughed and nodded agreeing with him on that.

"Lexi, you've got a cavity" I jerked my head to the person who spoke that and shrieked.

Oh no! No! This can't be happening, I haven't had a cavity in a long time and I don't want one! I HATE cavities!

"What?! No! I refuse to believe I have a cavity!" I yelled and my brother smirked and raised an eyebrow.

"No, you're right, you have two cavities." Once those words left his lips I think I just died.

Oh, shit.

I stayed in place shocked. I take such good care of my teeth so why would I have two cavities? I think I'm going to cry.

"I'm just kidding, you have no cavities." My brother said and I felt the anger rise up in my core as I slapped his arm.
