The Teased Mate (𝓑𝓸𝓸𝓴 #1)

Chapter Six

After we get on the freeway the silence is broken by Anthony.

"So you like interior design and cooking? Why?" He asks, I can tell he is attempting to get to know me. It's been years since we last spoke about our passions.

"I like turning a house into a home. Without cooking, there is no way to make a house into a home." I can feel his eyes on me. I want to look at him, but of course, the person in front of me is a total ass-wod of a driver.

"What the hell? The lady in front of us is going 30 mph while the speed limit is 70!" All I can think about right now is when did I become my mother? Her road rage is a little worse.

I hear him mess around with his phone and then One Direction starts to play.

"You don't know you're beautiful!!" He sings making me laugh so hard, I am incapable of saying anything at all. He has rendered me speechless for once he is being cute.

As that song ends another one begins to play 'story of my life'

I begin to quickly mouth the words because my best friend would kill me if I was singing a song with her baby Harry in it.

"Ariana is going to kill you we made a deal that we would never listen to them without each other." He nods and then starts playing a song by Harry.

We get to IKEA in no time as I screech out the lyrics to the song.

"Same lips red, same eyes blue
Same white shirt, couple more tattoos
But it's not you and it's not me
Tastes so sweet look so real
Sounds like something that I used to feel
But I can't touch what I see" as soon as the lyrics we are 'not who we used to be' pops up in the song I belt it out. It's a song called two ghosts

"What do you need from here?" He asks turning the song down and I turn to look at him with a glare.

"I am redecorating our house. I figured we can pick out stuff together." I look down at my hands and start chipping off my black nail polish.

"Good, we need to make it our place." He puts his hand in mine. I quickly slide mine away and open up the car door. I get out and go to the other side. I open the door and he says,

"Thank you." He doesn't make a sexist joke. What the actual fuck!? No teasing or hurtful comment, yeah I did slide into a new world I must have.

Normally he would, so I just give him a goofy grin. Internally I am thinking about what's he planning to do. As we walk into the store I can smell the cafeteria food.

"So what do we need here?" He asks.

"Basically everything for my bedroom, well our bedroom. I agree since we are mates and just a wall away from each other. It will be hard, but we are both mature adults now. I think we can handle this. Also, both our beds are uncomfortable. We always sleep on couches, and I have the money to buy us one. You have given me a home rent-free the least I can do is make sure we have a decent bed."

Also, I don't want to be in a bed that has had its conquests in it.

"Okay," he just shrugs it off like it is nothing.

We get over to the bedroom area. I lay on the first one.

"Come lay down with me." He lays down and the bed seems too rough.

"What are your thoughts?" I ask he sits up and says.

"It's too rough," I decided why not tease him.

"I thought you would like it rough." I crawl off the bed as the springs dig into my knee.

I can feel his hot breath over my ear. "Trust me I do, but that bed could not hold what I want to do to you." He steps back and I can feel my reaction due to having very wet underwear. My stomach begins to tingle and bubble.
