My Crazy Mate

Chapter 17: Secret Discovered

Laura POV

All week I thought I had get rid of April, since I didn’t see her or listen to Nate speak about her.

I thought everything was solved from the day at the beach, but I did really noticed Nate a little distant and usually after closing the store he disappeared for hours.

Now I know they had make up and he was seeing her during the week maybe at her place.

How could I be so naïve, but whatever she think she has with Nate it’s going to end today.

He is mine and their isn’t no stupid girl in this world that can take him away from me.

Since I told April not to call Nate, I had to do something real fast before she does.

I actually slam the iron doors behind her when she got out, to be able to run back to the house and intercept the call.

I could see, she was still outside the store, which only could mean that she did not believe me, she was also making a call.

I went in running to the house directly to Nate bedroom, at the basement.

When I got down the stairs without him seeing me, since he was taking a bath, I saw he had his phone on the bed and guess what, it was indeed ringing with April’s Id on the screen.

I took it, end the call and turned the phone off.  

I had to think of something fast, so they could not see each other today.

In that moment he came out of the bathroom and I sat on his bed, there with the saddest face I could put on.

As he saw me, he tighten the towel on his waist going directly to his underwear draw, took a shorts out and put it on under the towel, he also did the same with his pants, before taking off the towel and drying his hair with it.

He glance at me, once more like deciding what to say or ask.

He finally asked if something was wrong.  I shook my head nodding meanwhile he sat beside me.

I started my story asking him if he did remember how much times they had think to get away together far from there.

He nodded without saying a word and continuing examining my face and gestures.

Then I leaned on his shoulder and started to sob.  I had really got to cry some, just with the thought that I had to live the rest of my life without Nate.

I understood right there that I really loved him and that the things I used to do before thinking that it was just to cheer him up, was because I cared for him much more than like a brother or a friend.

I needed him to understand that we loved each other and that we were made to be with each other.

I started confessing to Nate that I felt very lonely and that life wasn’t so attractive to me anymore, that I was scared to be left alone and I preferred to be dead than alone.

He hug me, and I could see he really cared about me, but he was some suspicious of my intentions.

He told me to take things easy, that I shouldn’t take things to heart, that he loved and cared for me a lot, that we would always be family and he would always look out for me, even if he decided to move out of our home.

That´s when I knew he was thinking seriously about April.

I instantly asked him if we could move out together.  He look down and take his arms from around my shoulders.

-                     Laura… he started to whisper, - I need you to know that my feelings for April are stronger than you think it is, she is the one I want to be with.  I need to sort out somethings with her and if she decides to accept me as I am, I am going to ask her to move with me to some place.

-But Nate, and what about us? I said without thinking it too much.

He got up and ask me if we could have that conversation when he came back.

I asked him where he was heading to, and he answered to April’s house.

I got the feeling that I wasn’t going to be able to avoid Nate to see her, so I had to use my only card left back.

I got up and asked him if he thought April will accept him as he is.  A strange look came to his face, then I confessed to him I knew he wasn’t normal, that I knew he changes into some kind of monster, but that I love him even so.

He looked at me trying to laugh it off, then ask me what I was saying.

I told him I saw him the other night, when he got in thru the window and transformed into human.

What I didn’t tell him was that I left my phone one night at is room recording when he was back, since there were nights I came to look for him and he was never there.

That following morning of the night that I left my phone there, I took advantage when he was taking a bath to retrieve my phone and what I saw at first, scared me, but after I stopped to think about it, it answered many questions I always had about Nate and made him more attractive to me.

I needed him to be only mines and I was going to get it, no matter what.

When he saw in my gesture I were really serious about what I told him I had seen, he sat on the bed with his head between his hands.

I sat beside him and told him, that everything was ok, that his secret was safe with me, but that he rather think twice to share it with April, since she wouldn’t understand.

He tried to explain to me that he had to, since she were his mate.

I could relate to the word, since from the day I saw the recording I started to investigate about what Nate could be.

And one of the options was Werewolf, so I started to read all about them.

I told him if he was sure she was his mate, since she was human, just like me, but that I had known him from when we were kids and love him so much, I will understand anything that had to do with him.

Then he looked at me, just as he used to do before, and asked me if I really think she wouldn’t understand, since her Dad was also a Werewolf and maybe she was half a she wolf.

That information was really new to me and I knew it would be very useful someday.

I told him that I love him so much, that I will help him with April, but that for now he shouldn’t even see her.

That he needed to investigate more about her family, mostly her Dad, to be able to know how he could break the news to her and if it was really safe for them to be together.

I also convinced him to tell me all he knew about her family and not to meet her today, not to even call her, since he would have to explain why they cannot meet, that he should send her a text message saying he had a terrible headache, and that way she did not have to wait for him.

When he took his phone and saw it was off, I took it from him, saying that it might have run out of battery, that I would put it to charge and he could use mines to send her the text.

Nate was so confused about if April will accept him or not, that he did as I told him.
