His second Chance (ON HOLD)

Chapter 3

Okay. So... My mate is at the bar. Actually... She's BEHIND it. Literally.

Stiles holds me back as Valerie gives a guy a drink. A guy who she winks at. Landon huffs and strolls past us. We follow him and sit down and she turns to us.

"Oh how ya doin boys?" She asks. Stiles smiles at her and she leans on the counter. "I remember you guys."

"Yeah you saw us at Starbucks about 15 minutes ago." Landon says. She hums and I watch her. "It's a small world."

"Small world indeed." She confirms and she looks at me with squinted eyes. "You're not gonna hug me again right?"

"Nope." I hold my hands up in a playful surrender and she giggles. "Sorry about that by the way. You... looked like someone I once knew."

"I get it all the time. It's fine." A guy comes up and wraps his arm around her shoulder. I hold back a growl as me and my wolf scold him. "Oh hey Mason."

"Hi there you little devil." She smiles and he nuzzles her neck. Stiles quickly clears his throat to save me from ripping off his head and feeding it to Cerberus. Little devil? That's my thing!

"So... Boyfriend?" Stiles asks. Mason attempts to hold in his laughter by turning into Valerie more and she wraps her arms around his neck. That's our thing! Ima rip this man apart.

"As if." Now THAT got my attention. My eyebrows shoot up in amusement. "More like my roommates brother. Who occasionally flirts with me and I... Sometimes do it back. He's actually like my brother."

"But can you imagine?" Mason looks at us. "Dating this beautiful lady?" Oh I can imagine. I kinda felt it too. A smile breaks put on my face. Be nice...

"She is beautiful." Her smile gets bigger and Masons smirks. "Although..." I clear my throat as she takes a sip of her drink. Brace yourselves..."You guys would make a cute couple." She instantly spits out her drink and begins to cough. Mason rubs her back and Stiles silently snickers. Landon just looks at me with wide eyes, probably wondering what the hell is wrong with me.

"You're funny." She laughs and Mason shakes his head. "What can I get you boys?"

"Tequila sunrise." Landon order. She nods at Mason and he quickly begins making it.

"Gin and tonic." I raise my eyebrows at Stiles. "What? You drink strawberry milk with cocoa puffs."

"Ew." I look at Valerie. "What's the point of the COCOA part of the puffs if you have strawberry? Like you might as well just have puffs."

"Look I went through a VERY depressing stage." I huff. She hums. "Give me the Old fashioned please."

"So is that depressing stage over?" She asks as she begins making my drink. I nod. "What happened?"

"Well I thought I lost someone who I loved very much." She gives me a lopsided sad smile. "But recently I've reconnected with her."

"Congrats." She slides me my drink and I catch it. She grins. "She's a lucky girl."

"I like to think I'm the lucky guy." She nods and Mason gives the boys their drinks.

"Well what's her name? I might know her." I smile sadly and shake my head.

"I doubt it." I whisper. She shrugs and goes to the next person. "Valerie Jameson... Has a nice ring to it."

****2 hours later****

"Sylvia." Stiles lip-syncs into the microphone, all eyes on the stage. I scoff and take a sip of my drink.

"Yes Mickey?" Valerie mouths back. He wraps an arm around her waist and pulls her against his chest. She leans back on him.
