What should I call you Mate

Episode 3

Lex's P. O. V

As we entered the school we went straight to our lockers to take out books for our respective classes. Rik excused himself first as he has maths for the first period whereas Emm and I have history together.

"Let's go." I said but Emm didn't move as if she is not here. I can clearly see that Emm is thinking hard about something. Maybe about the 'so helpful' talk, we had earlier at the parking area. I know Rik wasn't helpful at all but he didn't say anything wrong. We both are very concerned and protective of her as we are the best buddies and we don't want to see our friends hurt for some stupid reason. But even then I know Emm very well, she will never be at ease until she does what she had decided to do. You see, our Emm is curious and also stubborn, or should I say determined. She never backs out. And only that's why I am worried about her and encouraged her to go on as she planned.

"What's bothering you now, Emm?" She snapped out of her zone as I tapped on her shoulder.

" Is it about the conversation we just had? " I asked.

" Yes, and I am in trouble Lex." She confessed.

"Don't think much. Just ask him out, go on a date, take things slow, and get over of your dilemma." As soon as I finished I noticed something else and I added " Speak of the devil and here he comes. "

Emm's. P. O. V

I quickly turned my back to know why Lex said that only to meet those crystal blue eyes staring deep into mine. Ashton. And I felt myself stopped breathing for a moment.

Ashton is the reason I was talking about earlier to never be late for school. He is my tiny little crush for quite some time, you know. Ugh! Okay okay, I surrender, he is my biggest crush. Why won't he? I mean look at him. He is the most popular boy in our school and girls fall for him. He is a bit taller than Rik with dark blond hair, perfect muscular body, sharp jawline, attractive and kissable lips, and those mesmerising blue eyes. And to add the list, his smile. Ughh, they are the killer smiles showing his cute little dimples on his cheeks.

Suddenly I felt a little push from behind and heard Lex saying " Go ask him. "

I don't know what happens every time I see him I usually forget about all my worries. You see, I already forgot the anxiety that I was feeling a few minutes ago and now I am dragging myself to Ashton without any second thought. "Hey, Ashton."

"Hi there, beautiful. How was your weekend? " He is always smooth with his talk. I don't know how he does that. Well, anyway...

"Good. And I wanted to ask you something. " I saw him giving me the killer smirk, which is obviously making it difficult to concentrate but I continued anyway " Actually I wanted to know if you wanna go out with me? On a date? " I can saw him stunned for a second so I added " I mean only if you have time and if you want to obviously " And I tried to be casual about that until I felt him leaning down towards me and to the side of my face so close that I felt his minty breath brush off my ears saying "You always like to take the manly step, don't you? You wild kitty? " His husky voice made me shiver for a moment.

"Yes, I would love to." Ashton quickly said chuckling lightly and drawing me back from my trance. Oh, Goddess!! Those dimples..

"Great. I'll see you today at seven then. And I'll text you the place." As soon as I said the first bell goes off.

"Perfect. See you then." Ashton excused himself and headed to his class.

I suddenly felt that many eyes were staring at me, rather glaring. Anyway, I don't care. The second bell rang and I and Lex started running towards our class.

Rik's P. O. V

I can't stop thinking about her. Everything was more than fine before. We were the best buddies from the very beginning and everything was going on perfect and it was supposed to be like that forever. But no. Now everything has changed, at least for me. Cause I shifted already and I found my Mate. I mean I found her as my Mate. She doesn't know yet cause she is yet to shift. But I couldn't tell her that she is mine.

I mean she always thought of me as her best friend. What if she doesn't want me as her Mate. I cannot afford to lose my best friend as well as my Mate. It will kill me. But I am no better now. I often feel my wolf on the edge, fighting to take her anytime whenever we are close. I feel that too. I want to feel her within my arms, I want to embrace her, kiss her, love her, touch every part of her body that is meant to be mine. I want to take her. I want to be in her. I want to f**k her hard. I want to give her my first and every time. I want her. I need her. Without her, by my side, I am becoming insane and even with her by my side, I am becoming more frustrated. As I know she is mine but I can't take her as mine yet. And it's killing me.

And every time when I thought of telling her about my feelings , the fear of her not understanding always stopped me. I am more of a friend to her than anything else. What if she can not accept me as a mate but only a friend. She can not understand my cravings for her, at least not now, till her first shift because she doesn't know how effective the mate pull is. Everyone has to give in to the mate pull, and I am no different. But all I could do is to keep on being friends and hoping that after her shift she might accept me.

I am being impatient sitting here in this stupid class. Why don't we have all the classes together so that I don't have to part with her ever? Oh, my goddess, when is the class going to end. It is taking like forever. I want to go to my Mate. I want to see her. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She is the most charming. She is my Mate.
