Simon’s Pov
I sat in a comfortable silence as my mate drove through town, looking pleased with himself. I rolled my eyes. He was jealous, possessive and now I detected a bit of cockiness to the mix. It wasn’t what I expected. He wasn’t what I expected. But at the same time, I didn’t expect to find my mate at all so I was just grateful for the sudden blessing in my life.
“Hungry?”
His voice interrupted my thoughts as I turned to look at him.
“Yeah, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. With you blowing up my phone and then kicking in my door, I was a bit preoccupied.”
He blushed and mumbled an apology before changing the subject.
“So, my little mate, tell me something about yourself.”
I paused before thinking about something that wouldn’t bore him. But it was hard, seeing as how my life was the definition of a boring existence.
“Well…what do you wanna know?”
He chuckled deeply.
“For starters, how old are you?”
“Oh I’m 18, my birthday was last week.”
“Auhhh, that’s probably why I haven’t sensed you around here then. You just recently came of age.”
“You say that like you’ve been waiting for me forever” I laughed but then slowly became quiet as a sudden realization hit me.
“You weren’t waiting for me...were you?”
He sighed.
“Simon, I’m 23 turning 24 at the end of the month.”
I went wide eyed. Holy s**t, he’s going to be 24? He’s been waiting for me for…..6 years. I looked over at my mate who was visibly tense and I immediately felt guilty. I couldn’t even imagine being of age and being mate less for so many years. It was just unheard of. I’ve known loneliness, hell, it’s literally all I’ve ever known, but to be lonely and know there was someone out there just for you? That’s plain cruel. It’s literally living your own personal hell. I was happy I didn’t have to wait long to find him but now this just made me down right grateful to the bone.
“Wow, what was it like to ride the dinosaurs?” I joked and he snorted. Clearly the joke had successfully distracted him from his dark thoughts.
“Screw you, I'm not that old”
We laughed and I blushed as he snaked his hand around mine.
Before long we were pulling into the parking lot of a huge ihop. I smiled like a kid and practically hopped in my seat before unbuckling the seat belt and racing out the car. I squealed as tingles shot through my body when Levi caught up with me and scooped me up in his arms. I laughed as he carried me bridal style into the restaurant, earning a few laughs from the staff and other customers in the process. We walked straight to the back and took seats in a nice booth. The sound of the leather as a slid in was heavenly, nothing pleased me more than being comfortable while I eat. I hated when places tried to sit you at small tables or at a bar counter. Sometimes I was too short for it.
We immediately picked up menus and looked over it before I suddenly stood up.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to pee, be right back.”
As I took two steps from the booth, I heard someone whistle and cat call towards me. I looked on the opposite direction and saw a booth of guys all winking and checking me out. I shook a little with fear before Levi suddenly grabbed my hand and walked with me to the bathroom.
“Mine” he snarled quietly and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn’t like when people checked me out or hit on me, in fact in made me very afraid. I knew my mate would eventually ask me why I reacted that way and I frowned not wanting to think about that conversation.
“I’ll be waiting for you outside the door if you need me.”
I nodded before going to do my business and return to my mate.
Levi’s Pov
What the hell was that? Of course I hated the way those disgusting humans tried hitting on my mate. In fact it f*****g infuriated me. He was my mate. Mine! I glared at the table as I heard one of the men say he was going to follow Simon into the bathroom so he could try to get his number. But that idea flew out the window when they saw me walk him to the bathroom and stand infront of the door. In fact, they actually became afraid of how I looked to the point of quickly packing up and leaving, putting money on the table to pay for their food without even receiving it yet. f*****g cowards.
But that’s not all that was bothering me.
The way my mate froze in fear as someone cat called to him was concerning.
“Yes it is, very concerning” my wolf Percy agreed.
I sighed, knowing I’d have to find out why he had such a bad reaction. I didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable or upset in any way but at the same time if he was hurting I needed to know about it. I was snapped out of my thoughts when my beautiful mate walked out the bathroom and squeaked in surprise at me.
“H-hey, I thought you went back to the table”
I rose an eyebrow in confusion.
“I told you that I’d be waiting until you came out, didn’t I? I couldn’t leave my precious mate alone while that scum tried to harass you”
I smiled and my wolf purred as he smiled shyly and batted his eyelashes at me. He was so adorable I just couldn’t take it. I slid my hand into his and intertwined our fingers before heading back to the booth. We sat across from each other like before and once again picked up the menus.
“Hi there. I’m Carly and I’ll be your server today. Can I take your orders?” The woman smiled and asked us. Well more like asked Simon. She didn’t even notice me sitting here which was weird. Everyone always flirted with me so I was not used to being...ignored. I won’t lie, I hated it.
“Yes, I’ll have the French toast with powdered sugar, whipped cream and strawberries with a side of scrambled eggs”
“Of course darling, would you like me to throw in some hash browns? Free of charge sweetie.” She said to Simon while leaning forward, showing off her breast to him with an innocent smile.
I silently wished to rip the slut into pieces. I know my mate is attractive but he looked feminine so I didn’t realize he’d attract both men and women. Part of me was highly annoyed but the other part was smug knowing I had someone so beautiful who was mine.
“And I’ll have the ultimate breakfast platter with two extra plates of bacon, and a side of toast please.”
“Huh? Oh yeah sure” she grumbled while taking my order, pissing me off more.
“Oh my gosh!! You must be parched honey!! I forgot to ask for your drink order!” She said looking at Simon who was blushing. He shifted closer to me, and I could tell he didn’t like the hussy flirting toward him.
“Listen, just do your damn job and stop flirting with my boyfriend” I hissed and she jumped back in surprise before blushing.
“I’m so sorry I didn’t realize-“
“Well now you do so scram” I hissed again and she scurried away, silently cursing herself.
I looked down at Simon who was looking up at me, smiling shyly before whispering.
“B-boyfriend?”
I felt my cheeks heat up as I realized maybe I was moving too fast for him.
“Well I just thought since we’re mates but maybe-“
“No, it’s fine. You’re my mate so I should be dating you” he said while fidgeting with his hands. I smiled widely before scooping him up in my arms and bringing him in for a kiss. The tingling sensation drives me wild as my tongue probes his mouth and begs for access. He grants it, taking me into his mouth although I wish he was taking another part of my body in his mouth instead.
I snap my head down at him as the smell of his arousal hits my nose like a freight train. He looks up at me innocently before grinding on my hard on as he slides off my lap. I growl and he bats his eyelashes, fully aware of what he’s doing.
“Little tease” Percy mutters and I agree, voicing my thoughts out loud.
“How am I a tease? Is it a crime to accidentally put a little pressure on my boyfriend’s lap?” Simon asks with puppy eyes.
“No” I grumbled and he smiles at me.
The slut finally returns with our food and as I start to eat I freeze when I see Simon. He’s eating, but right before he takes his first bite...he smirks at me, glancing at my hard on. Oh this boy is gonna be the end of me.
Game on little mate.
