Chapter 7 - I Love You
999 Words
What a day I can’t wait to curl up into bed.
“Hey Nate” I say walking past my brother
“Hey” he replies as blunt as possible before walking away.
Great. That’s just great.
“Ugh.”
I stomp my way up the stairs to my room.
I open the door to a freshly showered Reign sitting on my bed in just shorts with his hair still wet.
Did he just use my bathroom for a shower?
The thought of that has my heart leaping.
“Hi.”
Suddenly, he looks pissed... really pissed. He stands up.
“I would ask you where you’ve been but I can already smell the answer to that question.”That f****** bastard wanted a hug for this purpose. I see his jaw clenching s**t this can’t be good.
“Reign I-“
“Save it” he puts his hand up and walks to the door.
“Reign wait” I say grabbing his hand.
“What?”
“Please don’t go.”
“Do I even have a reason to stay?”
“Yes... I don’t want you to leave. Not like this.”
“Okay tell me. What do you want? I know what I want but I’m not sure if you do.”
“Reign...”
“What Namirah? You’ll have to choose one day. It’s better sooner than later so I know where I stand.”
“Choose? What do you mean? Hang on a minute you think... you think that I don’t want you?”
“What the hell am I supposed to think Namirah? I came here to apologise for today but you came back smelling just like him!” He yells pulling his hand away going for the door.
“Damnit Reign I smell like him because I went to tell him that he needs to stop!! I told him that you’re my mate and I can’t have you being disrespected like that. I told him that if he still wants to be friends that he needs to stop messing around because if he doesn’t I’ll be the next one to throw him through a window.”
He turns to me looking a bit calmer. I start pacing back and forth around the room, no time like the present to wear my heart on my sleeve. Here goes...
“Reign you’re all I want. s**t I might as well put it all out there now just so you know how much I mean it. You’re all I’ve wanted for years now! Do you know how f****** annoying it was hearing about you and other girls? To see you and Nate going on your little double dates. Why do you think I’d always try to stop Nate? I couldn’t exactly tell you that you couldn’t go on a date. At times I used to feel some sort of vibe coming from you but then I’d tell myself I was just imagining things because you’d never be interested in your best friends little sister.” Paying little to no attention on where I’m pacing around I walk straight into him, he grips on to my waist.
“Namirah, keep still, I ca-”
“Oh and for goodness sake would you stop calling me Namirah! You never call me that so don’t start now” I sigh, he laughs.
“What’s funny?” I deadpan.
“You. You’re just so damn cute” he says cupping my cheek.
“Yeah well cute is for puppies and I’m no puppy.”
“You most certainly aren’t” he says kissing my forehead.
He wraps his arms around me bringing my closer to him. He embraces me in a much needed hug, I wrap my arms around his waist leaning my head against his chest.
“And Mir you weren’t imagining things.”
“What?”
“Since you decided to let everything out I guess I should do the same. s**t I already told Nate anyway and when I tell you, you better not run. Because I will chase you to the ends of the earth.”
Oh goddess I’m getting nervous.
“You weren’t imagining things at all. I’ve been in love with you for a while. I just couldn’t tell you or Nate because I didn’t want to lose either of you. So I thought I’d wait until your eighteenth birthday to tell you. I could only hope and pray that I’d be your mate. Every time I was near you my Wolf would stir and looking back at it now I think he already knew. Then before we made it to your birthday party my Wolf was going crazy this time and I could tell my mate was near. Then when I finally saw you I knew. I knew straight away that you were mine. I had never been so thankful to the moon goddess before that moment.”
I feel a tear come down my cheek
“Hey, hey Mir what’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Nothing at all, I’m just glad you feel the same way. This is a happy tear” I giggle.
“I know this might be too soon but I have to tell you. Mir I’m in love with you and I don’t care if you don’t feel the same because I love you. There I said it. I f****** love you!”
I instantly press my lips against his taking him by surprise.
“Reign, I love you more” I say against his lips, I feel him smiling.
“Not possible” we both laugh..
“Stay with me tonight... please.”
“Sure but you need to shower and change these clothes I cannot have you smelling like him.”
“Jealous as ever I see Mr Jones.”
“Jealousy is for someone who wants something he doesn’t have. But I’ve already got what I want. I’m not jealous, I’m territorial.”
