When You Said You Love Me

Chapter Ten

My enemy. I've kept you close, oh dearest fiend, so that you may not plot. And yet, I think... That perhaps I have kept you too close.

Running a business and attending school at the same time is hard work. I have barely any free time, and what free time I do have is usually spent on... Well, more work. Because of this fact, I think it's only fair to get a bit upset when someone interrupts me. The receptionist doesn't tell me who it is that wants to see me, so I assume it's some irrelevant person that didn't bother to introduce themselves. I don't anticipate that person being Joey though.
He looks at me as if I just hit him and he's trying not to cry, and my anger melts away a bit. Of course, it's because he's an Omega, not the fact that it's Joey. "What do you want Wheeler?"
He flinches, and I immediately start to worry. He's not usually the type of guy that flinches when you use a firm voice. I step aside and let him in, debating whether or not I should close the door. Something makes me think that whatever he's going to say is serious, so I decide to shut it in the end. I don't go back to sit in my desk, and instead stay where I am and cross my arms. He turns back around to face me and takes a deep breath, as if he's gathering courage.
"I have somethin' to tell you." He says, but he doesn't elaborate further.
I wait for a minute, then glare. "Well? What is it that you have to tell me?"
He takes another breath, then looks away. "Um, I... We..."
I wait patiently this time. Whatever it is, it's obviously difficult for him to say. Eventually, he speaks up again.
"Nevermind. It was stupid of me to come here. I'm an idiot." He says, and makes his way towards the door. As he passes me, I put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
"What the Hell? You come here and ask to see me, then tell me Nevermind?!" I ask, glaring at him slightly. "Just tell me J... Wheeler."
My heart flutters a bit, and I think I must be getting sick. I almost said his first name. He tries to pull away, but it doesn't work.
"Let me go dammit!" He yells, then swings a hand towards my face. I grab his wrist, then wrap my arm around his waist as his knees suddenly buckle.
"What the-?" My mind comes to the worst conclusion, and I think that maybe Joey might be dying. I carry him to my desk and sit him on top of it, not minding that my papers will get crinkled. "Tell me what's wrong."
He looks at me for a bit, and I wonder if he'll actually respond. My eyes widen as he leans forward and kisses me, and instead of pushing him away, I pull him closer. He pulls away slightly, and opens his mouth to speak.

**perspective change**

My heart is beatin' a mile a minute, and for a moment, I almost chicken out again. Instead, I just say it as if I'm rehearsing in front of the mirror. "Seto, if I don't get a mate soon I'll fall asleep and probably never wake up again. So I...," I start to falter as my confidence fades, and my last few words are just mumbles. I don't even know if he hears me. "I was wonderin' if you, Uh... Would..."
I don't look at him, and because of that I can't see his expression. For all I know, he's about to beat my ass. He's really quiet, and after a few minutes of waiting in silence, I look up at him.
His expression is blank, and there's no way he's thinkin' anything good. I push past him, trying not to cry. "See? I told you it was stupid of me t-"
I gasp as I'm spun around, my eyes widening as Seto's hand laces through my hair. Then, I realise that it's gotten awfully hot in the room. 'Dammit! Again?!'
While Seto kisses me like I'm leaving him forever, I dig out my medicine from my pocket. I pull away and quickly put the pills in my mouth, swallowing them dry. Seto pulls me to his chest and I let out a soft moan against my will, then push away from him. He doesn't resist, and he seems to have regained his composure. My medicine works fast, and boy am I glad about it. When I look back into his eyes, his expression is guarded.
"You want to be my mate?" He asks, and I cringe slightly. I'm sure he's disgusted.
"I don't have many options, okay?" I ask, although it's not really a question. He crosses his arms and opens his mouth to say something, but I quickly cut him off. "You're a business man right? Surely you need to let off a little steam now and then, right?"
I turn red at the implication of my words, but I don't take them back. "It'll be as good for you as it is for me if we get together."
It hurts to say something like that. I want him to love me... I think. Because I think I love him. I don't think he'll say yes, so when he does my heart stops for a moment.
"I guess it couldn't hurt..." He says. I can't believe he agreed. Still, his response sounds very cold, as if I'm burdening him.
I leave as soon as I get confirmation that he'll be my mate. I know he thinks I won't add up to much, but...
I swear I'll be the best damn mate ever!

If he'll let me...
