Shewolf

Chapter 6: a new life

My eyes fly open as a soft yet forceful object collides with my face. Stunned, I sit up to find Ben cackling in the middle of the room and a pillow on the floor. Bastard. Groaning I take the pillow and throw it back just as hard taking him by surprise and I laugh at his glare.

"Oh come of you brought that on yourself!" I laugh and Ben grins back. 

"Fair. I have 1 word for you. Waffles." My eyes light up and I crawl towards him on the bed. 

"When and where" I command making Ben laugh again. 

"Kitchen, 30 minutes" Ben leaves the room waving and I jump off the bed in glee. My whole life revolves around food and I am not afraid to admit it. I shower and towel my hair before spilling the entire contents of my suitcase on the floor and finding a pair of mom jeans and a plain oversized Tee. I glance over my appearance and sigh brushing the material on my thigh. I am actually a really confident and outgoing person but that doesn't mean I don't have insecurities. I'm not fat exactly but I would certainly class me as chubby despite how many times my friends say I'm actually thick. f**k it, at least I have a nice ass I think as I leave the room and scurry downstairs with the thought of waffles in my head. 

I walk into the kitchen and can't help but do a happy dance as I look at the table stacked with waffles and every topping possible. I load a plate and grab syrup and fruit and my eyes land on Ben who's sat with Jacob and some people I don't know at the end of the table. I plonk down next to him and he passes me a mug of steaming coffee, which I take with love filled eyes. What a man. I don't wait to dig in and moan at the sweet taste, tearing more off. 

"Good morning Jasmine." Jason brings me out of my waffle induced trance and I wave back as my face is full of food in a similar way to how a squirrel shoves nuts in it's mouth. "How are you feeling today?" He chuckles as I struggle to finish my mouthful.

"Much better thank you" I reply finally. "Ben really helped last night and I think it's finally sinking in."

"I'm pleased to hear it. I'm sorry this has all happened so quickly to you, I can imagine it's a bit of a shock."

"Just a little" I laugh.

"Let me introduce you to my mate Freya." He looks adoringly at a petite blonde with brown eyes and tanned skin sat next to him.

"Hi I'm Jasmine" I wave and she waves sweetly back. "How long have you two been together?" I look between the pair and can't help but melt a little: they're perfect for one another.

"Just over 3 years. We're actually expecting" Freya smiles down at her little bump and Jacob side hugs her. 

"Wow congratulations!" I can't handle their cuteness. We carry on chatting and eating until I can't actually move and I feel more pregnant than Freya.

"That was awesome" I smile happily.

"It was indeed" Jacob laughs "but I'm afraid we have to get going" Ben sighs patting his stomach and stands. 

"See you later losers" he winks at me and i push him away. Fool of a man. I suddenly realise I have no idea what I'm meant to do all day. 

"Whilst you're settling in, you're more then welcome to help me with my jobs Jasmine" Freya says reading my mind.

"Are you sure? I don't want to intrude."

"Oh absolutely. This little dude makes life about 10x trickier so I could do with some help actually". I grin

"That would be amazing."
