20. Kisses and Cuddles

Avery's Pov

My flight home just landed and I stood outside waiting for a cab. Jake left earlier yesterday, he took another flight home, without me and sent a simple text saying he's sorry and that he needs some space. I wished him well. He's still my best friend, I know he doesn't mean what he says about not being able to love his mate, he just thinks it's like that now, but it doesn't work like that. Having a mate is an out of the world experience, that feeling of being in love and being loved back it's different and it's beautiful and strong, and it makes us weak at the same time, Jake will find his mate for sure, it'll take time.

I can't stop thinking if I should tell Sam about what happened with Jake. I don't want her to worry especially now that I won't get much time with her once my heat starts. She deserves to know, but I don't want to tell her now. Maybe after Jake and I talk about things or something. She wouldn't like that I'm around him since he did this, I know that, hell I wouldn't if it happened the other way, and now classes are starting again, I'll be seeing Jake more on campus and at the cafe. Even if Sam wouldn't be jealous, it still isn't right.

My cab came and I got in, the drive home was just 15 minutes away, I texted mum saying I'll be reaching soon. I am pretty exhausted but I just want to spend time with Sam and our parents. Maybe we could go out to a movie and bowling or something. Oh damn, we need to bring Sam to our regular restaurant, it's a little Mexican one downtown which mum's best friend, Marie owns, their food is delicious, like the best ever. I smiled to myself and decided to call up the restaurant to make reservations for us.

"Miss, we're here." Oh, that's fast. I looked up and I was home. I thanked him for the ride and paid him and took my bag out. 

Just then the door opened and Sam's scent hit me. I look up and see her running to me, before literally flinging herself onto me. Sparks, they were everywhere and getting stronger, my whole body was suddenly awakened by her, it lit me up. Mate.

"Oof." I chuckled surprised and let go of my bag and wrapped my arms around her, oh God, I missed her. My wolf purred, like a freaking cat, in my head of finally having our mate in our arms. She buried her face in my neck, and her hands gripped my jacket.

"Hey, my little bear cub." I teased kissing her cheek and head, my arms tight around her waist, God I wish I could be in this position forever. I feel her stiffen and she pulls away slightly blushing, with a pout on her lips. Dammit. That's so cute.

"Not a bear cub," she mumbles and I chuckle, rubbing her waist with my fingers. How did I go not seeing her for 3 months? She's gotten even more beautiful, she looks happy and rested and healthier. She's so perfect.

"You're hanging off me like one, princess," I say in a teasing tone and she blushes and looks down and drops her arms from around me.

"Aww, sorry, I'm just teasing you, I missed you, darling," I say and she smiles immediately. My heart fluttered, damn she's so beautiful.

"Miss you too. Come in," she says and reaches for my bag but I took it from her.

"No it's okay, I got it, come here." I pull her to my side, keeping my arm around her and kissing her hair before walking with her to our door and then closing it.

"Honey!" Mum yelled from the kitchen. I placed my bag down before taking Sam's hand in mine and walking to the kitchen.

"Mum," I say, hugging her tightly. She kissed my cheek and pulled back cupping my cheeks.

"My first baby's all grown up now, all ready to be beta," she mumbles tearing up but smiling.

"Aww mum, come on, don't cry." I laughed and hugged her again. Sam stood a few steps away from us, a small smile on her face before I reached over to her and pulled her into our hug.
