Fate

7

Gabriel just sat near the lake in the clearing, thinking what just happened. He enjoyed watching her talk or more like stutter. He thought it was adorable, the way she talked about the lake.

He even surprised himself when he told her that she could come here, to this clearing, that was just his place. The place that he never wanted anyone to come to.

His secret place.

He came here everyday for a calm swim or whenever he was frustrated.

But what even surprised her more was that he was not annoyed by the girl, unlike other girls around him. He was actually nice to that girl. That hasn't happened in quite sometime.

Seven years, if you want to be exact.

Since that day.

'Don't think about that.' Kaiden, his wolf scolded.

'Yeah, like i want to think about that day.' Gabriel retorted.

He decided to go for a swim himself, deciding not to think about Nitara and the day.

But she stayed in the back of his mind.

.............

Nitara woke up when there was a knock at her door. She looked at the clock on her bedside table. It was 5:45.

She got out of bed and wore her t-shirt and some cotton payjama shorts. And there was another knock on the door.

Damn impatient people.

"I'm commin." she shouted sleepily.

She opened the door and there stood the red head beauty standing in an amazing black bodicon dress some red stilettos, another green piece of garment on her left arm and a pair of black pumps.

She didn't wait for her to invite her in and just barged in Nitara's room.

"What are you doing here?"

"Can't i just come to visit my friend? Is it a crime now?" Tracey said fluttering her eye lashes and pouting her glossy lips.

Nitara just rolled her eyes at her friend's antics.

"Of course, you can."

"Why were you still sleeping?"

"Why shouldn't be I sleeping?"

Tracey huffed when Nitara answered her question with her own question. She never took this eighteen year old to be so fiesty and sassy.

"Because there is a party that is going to be start in about... 40 minutes."

"So?" Nitara asked genuinely confused.

Now it was Tracey's turn to roll eyes.

"Don't you have to get ready?"

"It just takes 10 minutes to put a t-shirt and jeans on. I don't need 40 minutes for that."

Tracey looked at her with an expression that could be read as 'Are you serious?" Or "You are kidding, right?"

Nitara couldn't decide which one.

"Please tell me, you are not really thinking of going to a party in jeans and t-shirt!"

"Actually, yeah i am."

"Oh hell no! You are wearing a dress."

"What's wrong with jeans and a t-shirt?"

"Nothing, but you are wearing a dress. Please for me." Tracey gave Nitara her best puppy eyes.

"Ugghh.. but I don't have a dress."
