Dont Fall for Me

SAY WHAT

Let's just pause for a minute while my heart slows down and my brain catches up to what the fuck Valentino just said to me. Singer Mate, Intended no more how you say it, it all meant the same thing I was his but who said I wanted to be and why didn't I have a choice in the matter anyway I mean it is my life what if I  don't want to be stuck with him forever.

Valentino watched for my reaction I could tell he was nervous I could practically see the nervous energy around him. A sick part of me was happy I had made him feel this way like I had some control over the situation. The better part if me though was just scared to be his mate I just wanted a stress free summer maybe a couple hook ups, but this I have a mate what do you even do with a mate. I cleared my throat trying to push the sudden dryness away "So I guess we need to talk about somethings then huh" I asked him not really sure what else to say he gives me a soft smile and nods his head. I reach out my hand to him trying to show some kind of support about the whole thing. The rational part of me realizes that this wasn't his fault he didn't ask for me to be his mate. He had just as much choice as I did but why did that realization make me sad. He took my hand into his saying goodbye to our friends we left an headed to his place. The car ride was silent, both of us lost in our own thoughts, I had so much to think about the summer was almost over. And even though I'm his mate I had a life outside of Miami school to finish a life to live did this mean all my plans were ruined, would I have to give up so much. And what about him would he follow me if I chose not to stay down here with him would he uproot his life for me, would I let him. So many questions and the only person at this moment who could answer any of them  I was to afraid to voice them  to.

Pulling up to his complex I don't know if I'm relived that the car  is over, or scared of what's to come. "Delanei, are you getting out" I  looked over to see Valentino no longer in the driver seat and standing with my door open his hand outreached. 'Get it together girl you need to stay aware'  I give him a somewhat sheepish smile before taking his hand. Taking the elevator up to his floor we walk into the living room I look around this is the second time I've been here, I've only known this guy for about two weeks and now we're bound together.  Sitting on the couch hands folded in my lap I look up at him "So what happens now" I question "We get to know each other, I know your body Delanei but now I want to know everything else" he tells me. I lower my head as I try and think of a way to ask my question that have been rolling around in my head since he said the word MATE. "Look I know you have questions believe me so do I, but you don't have to worry we'll get through this together" Valentino pulls me closer to him since I had sat on the far side of the couch. He lifts my head up looking me in the eye his blue eyes have a spark he looks so happy which makes me feel bad because all I've been thinking about is myself never taking account to his feelings.  "I got you" He whispers before placing a soft kiss against my lips holding me tight. I honestly didn't realized how wound up I felt my muscle tense like an scared animal ready to flee at the look of danger. Him holding me took all that  away in that moment I felt safe I felt warm I felt loved. And even though I knew I need to ask my questions just to cure my anxiety and wonder over everything I found myself falling asleep in his arms. Sleep now questions later.
