The Human's Special Wolf

Chapter 2

Mia agreed to go to dinner with Joshua. This makes my heart ache so much. Why couldn't I be the one he dropped his whole ‘non dating' stance for. I am not beautiful enough for him? Sure, I don’t have the body and looks she has but I wouldn't consider myself ugly. I'm short at 5’5 but I have a slim figure and a perky set of boobs that are slightly too large for tiny frame. I have long raspberry coloured hair that frames my face perfectly when wearing my trademark fishtail braid. My eyes are a deep green colour with specks of hazel that change colour depending on my mood.

Just as I am laying on my bed comparing myself to Mia, there is a knock on my door.

“Come in" I yell to the person on the other side. In walks Joshua and he asks me if I'm ok.

“Yeah, I'm just exhausted “ I lie to him. He comes and sits on my bed next to me and starts telling me all about how amazing Mia is and how he is looking forward to their date and he wants everything to be perfect. He then asks me the question that shatters the last piece of my broken heart.

“Jasmine, will you please help me get ready for my date? I’m not used to dating and I don’t want to disappoint her or do anything embarrassing.” Well f**k my actual life. How can I say no without revealing my feelings for him? Just as I'm having an eternal battle with myself, I feel a tug on my arm and peer down to see him looking at me with them sad puppy eyes that I can not say no to.

“Yes, I will help you Joshua. Let’s go check out your closet” I respond and sigh heavily. Agreeing to help the man you are madly in love with get ready for a date with someone else is truly gut wrenching.

We get to his room and both his sister and cousin are there waiting to have an input on his appearance. We tell him to take a seat while we go through his wardrobe. There is so many designer suits in there it's ridiculous. His family are crazy rich. We settle on an Pink Armani shirt and Navy Armani trousers. He grabs a quick shower and gets dressed. Once he is done, we sit him at the dresser while Jade fixes his hair. I'm sat on his bed contemplating going to the studen bar and drowning my sorrows when Naomi asks him where he is planning on taking Mia.

“We are going to the student bar for a quick drink before we head to a restaurant" Joshua tells her.

Well f**k, there goes my plans.

“I’m just heading off to the corner shop to grab some bits, enjoy your date and have fun Joshy" I exclaim as I walk out of his bedroom and the apartment. I get to the corner shop and I buy a litre bottle of Smirnoff vodka. The shop is so close to the apartment that I know he won’t have left yet. I stand on the opposite side of the road hiding behind a bus stop until I see him leave. Once he leaves, I head on inside and straight to my room. I open the vodka and dont even bother with a glass, I just drink it straight from the bottle. Naomi and Jade try to come talk to me but I scream at them to leave me alone. It’s not their fault I'm feeling like this and they know how much I love Joshua so they're only checking to make sure I'm ok, but right now, I don't want that. I just want to be left alone. I will apologise to them in the morning for how I spoke to them.
