Mine (Onhold)

chapter 5

Zendaya'spov

"Alayna I'll reach the restaurant in approximately 7 minutes. I'll place my order since your puny stomach wont eat that much and mine will" I spoke to my friend on the phone. With a simple reply I ended the call. At times a person feels something strange like a weird feeling in their pit like something is about to happen and that's exactly how I felt walking inside the restaurant. It wasn't an extravagant one, actually it was ordinary but my intuition told me something was going to happen in this restaurant. I hope something good...
I placed my order and saw two gorgeous men sitting on my left side. If this is the feeling i was having then im all for it because i could literally look at them all day. After receiving my order, they had shock written all over their faces
" why never seen a girl eat before?" I rudely asked irritated at their behaviour. The blond one quickly responded " umm sorry. Tbh its quite a rare sight. Usually girls i go out with order something light.  Hi I'm Elliot btw"

" zendaya, Well it's a good thing that we're not on a date. Nice to meet you elliot"
I offered a smile. When Elliot received his order it was the same ;Lasagne. I couldn't help but laugh.
" what are you laughing at doll face wanna see who finishes first?" he smirked. Before I could reply the light haired guy sitting next to him scolded him for wasting his time and that he'd win. That for some reason pissed me off. Never underestimate a girl especially one on an empty stomach. Even though I knew he was just being playful I couldn't help but accept the challenge.
" hey don't underestimate me asshole"
He raised his eyebrow but let my comment slide. "I'm drake btw"

Let's begin. We began to eat as quickly  as we could but me being a cheese lover managed to take a few bites more than him. Drake and I began to laugh at Elliot's dissapointed face. We began to chat about random things when alayna walked in. Her head was down and she was on the phone. I screamed in ordered to catch her attention
" alayna put the god damned phone down. Talk to Steve later and join me in embarrassing the boys." She was confused but sat next to me. Suddenly drake went stiff and alayna drew in a sharp breath

"mate"

Drake repeated that word again and alayna smiled

" excuse me what the fuck is going on here?"
Alayna as if she suddenly panicked quickly replied " umm nothing zenday" they both began to introduce each other not taking their eyes off of one another.  both stared at each other with such intensity like they were talking through their eyes. Some soulmate shit happening right now
"could you two stop eye fucking each other please and also drake if you're interested in my girl you better go through me first there will be an interview I will conduct before you get my blessing" I couldnt help but say as my possessive side appeared.  Elliot laughed but Drake just ignored it.

Note : alayna tells Elliot and Drake that she's human and not to say anything in front of her

Alayna ordered her salad and we began to talk. Elliot's constant attempts of flirting didn't go unnoticed by me. But I decided to ignore it and laugh it off. Elliot had his arm around my shoulder while I was laughing leaning on him because of a stupid joke alayna cracked when I reheard a voice that took my breath away not many days ago
" what the fuck is going on here?!" The growl,  the irritation and anger was quite prominent in his voice. I quickly stopped laughing and looked up to the stranger staring at me and occasionally his eyes falling on Elliot's hand on my shoulder which he soon retreated with his head down. The entire atmosphere shifted into one I wasn't a huge fan of. "oh hey stranger. We meet again" I tried to lighten the mood. I tried but failed miserably because everyone looked up at me as if I had a death wish which I quite frankly didn't get.
"excuse me? who the fuck are you"  He said when he clearly remembered me.
That angered me well as embarrassed me. Rather than replying like I usually do I rolled my eyes and took my phone out to distract myself. A few minutes (more like eternity) passed when he sat next to me with Elliot on my other side.

"alpha harry can you believe it this girl eats more than me she's great fun to be around" I heard Elliot say. So his name's harry. How rude of him not to introduce himself. I looked up at harry and he was throwing daggers at Elliot's direction but didn't say anything. I excused my self however harry being an asshole decided not to give me way. "excuse me harry but do you mind" I saw alayna hold her head between her hands like I said the wrong thing.

" who gave you a fucking right to call me by my name?"
now I was  livid. Who the hell is this guy. Hes entitled and has no manners. The time that I have known him was short but he was easily one if the most annoying prick I've come across. I couldn't prevent the words that came out of my mouth

"excuse me asshole since you'd rather be called that then your actual name. You have issues that I'm in no mood to deal with so can you please if it isn't too much to ask move the fuck so I can pass?" I didn't wait for his response as i shoved his legs so I could head out.
I headed outside with this weight on my shoulders and fear shadowing me. I should have trusted my gut feeling.

Note 📝
I've made zendaya a hot headed confident girl on purpose. All the human mate books I real tend to have fragile girls in it and I really didn't want that! Hope you like this!
