Twisted Fate | ✔️

N I N E

So when we got home Asher might have gone a little crazy. A vase had been smashed, the car had a dent, and worst of all- the TV was broken. How the hell am I suppose to watch Friends?

"Can you just calm yourself?" I smoothly asked. He stood up straight and looked at me like I had said I killed a puppy.

"Calm down?! You were threatened! I can't be calm!" He shouted. I rolled my eyes and hit the top of his head. "What the hell women?!" Asher said while putting his hand on the spot I hit.

"Do you need to take a bath or something?! You're so stressed!" I said.

"A bath?! What- Katie, I'm an alpha! Alphas don't take baths!" He said matter-oh-factually. I rolled my eye at him again.

"Well what do you 'alphas do' when they're stressed?!" I asked, mimicking him in a low voice.

"We break things." He gestured his hand around the room, showing me the thing he obviously broke.

"Well that's stupid because now I can't watch Friends. Hope you're happy that you've upset your mate." Yup, I'm making him feel guilty. Do I feel bad? Nope.

"What? I'm sorry I didn't-" I cut him off by raising my hand in his face.

"Nope, you're sleeping on the couch tonight." I replied, without giving him a chance to say something back I walked up the stairs to our room and locked the door.

"Katie! Come down please! I'm sorry!" He said from downstairs.

"On one condition!" I shouted back.

"What?" He was now on the other side of our door.

"I want you to buy another TV, tonight." I said. I refuse to wait to watch my show because I know he'll put off buying another TV due to all the 'aloha duties' blah blah blah.

"Can't it wait til tomorrow? I have alpha duties." I called it! I freaking called it!

"Have fun sleeping on the couch." I casually said.

"Wait no! Ok, I'll go get another TV right now." He said. I smiled and opened the door.

"That's all you had to say." I got on my tip toes and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him in for a kiss. "Let's go Mr. Alpha." I said as I pulled away from our kiss. He groaned but followed me when I walked down the stairs.

"It's not that hard to put a TV together! Just stick the cord in and BOOM. People appear on the screen." I said dramatically.

"Ok, 'Mrs. I Know Everything', you put the damn thing together!" He shouted as he got up from the ground.

We've been trying to get the TV to turn on for the past two hours but no such luck. The fact that it was already three am didn't help the matter.

"Just forget it! I'm tired and going to bed!" I stomped up the stairs and Asher did also.

"This is all your fault." I told him as I threw the covers back on the bed.

"My fault?" He asked in a disbelieving tone." How is this my fault?"

I got under the covers and he did the same. "If you hadn't gone on some rampage we wouldn't have had to out and buy a stupid TV!"

"Sorry if I was angry for someone threatening my mate." He said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes and laid on my side, not facing him. "You're... Stupid."

"Stupid?! Well you're... Stubborn!" He spat out. I quickly sat up and faced him.

"Me?! I'm stubborn?! Yeah right! If you would have taken my idea about the bubble bath-"

"Alphas don't take baths!"

"Well that's your loss! Just go to sleep ok?!" I shouted and got back to my original position on the bed.

He grumbled something under his breath that I didn't hear. Gosh, such a stubborn man.

I woke up to an empty bed. Asher must have gotten up to do 'alpha duties'. We've never really fought before so I don't really know what to do right now. Should I apologize? Should he? I decided on just talking to him.

I walked downstairs and I saw the TV was set up. All the card board and bubble wrap from the packaging was cleaned up. I smiled at the sight and then I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist from behind.

"I'm sorry." Asher whispered against my neck.

I turned around in his arms so that I was now facing him. "It's alright." I kissed him and then pulled back. "Just don't call me stubborn again." I said, with an attempted serious voice.

He laughed slightly and placed a kiss on my cheek. "I won't, promise."

"COLTON! GIVE IT BACK!" I shouted as I also chased Colton around the yard, trying to get my shoe back.

"Not until you give me my car keys!" Ok so I might have stolen his car keys. But it was for a good reason! He ran over a toad when he pulled up in the driveway and laughed!

"YOU RAN OVER A POOR FROG! YOU DESERVE ALL SADNESS IN LIFE!" Damn, how fast can one person be?! "Give me the shoe or I'll tell Asher to come home!"

Colton stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face me. "You wouldn't."

"Try me." I said with a smug expression. Colton was 'protecting' me (a.k.a. Babysitting) while Asher did what he usually did.

"Let's be calm about this Katie. I'll give you the shoe if you hand over the keys." He said calmly as he slowly took a few steps towards me.

"Hand over the shoe first." I said.

"No way! At the same time we switch."

"Fine. On three.... One, two... Three." On three we both tossed over each others stuff. I gladly got my shoe back as he sighed in relief at the sight of his keys.

"Was that so hard?" He asked teasingly.

I glared at him. "Watch yourself, I can still call Asher." I warned.

He put up his hands defensively and I laughed.
