Louisseena

Chapter 19

Time flies so fast and it is Elliot’s last day of work. He has decided to pursue his dream of becoming a model and he has saved some amount of money to travel to the land he wanted. A modelling agency in that land had shown interest in him. Elliot is tall like 185cm tall. He is lean and handsome. Of course, the face and body for a model. He has a 6 pack and I know this because I saw it when he did some lifting of boxes in the office and his shirt went up exposing his abs.

We were spending our last lunch hour together when Nicole asked me to accompany her to the restroom. It’s something female humans do, going to the restroom together. As we’re washing our hands, she turned to me and said something. “ Remember the time that you and Jerry were talking about going to a cafe out of town? Actually, I was beside him. And I wanted to let you know about this because I wanna go there too.” Nicole squeaks in excitement. 

I was dumbfounded. The conversation that I had with Jerry was very private. We talked about many other things and one of them was about going together to a place called The Cat Cafe where they have cats for us to pet, all that in a cafe. Jerry loves cats a lot. Every time he sees a cat on the street, he’ll say “mine” and laugh. He posted a lot of his encounters on his social media. And I do want to get close to a black cat as I’ve missed Raven so much. 

It finally clicked in my head. Nicole has always been beside him when Jerry calls me late at night. That was why she talked like she was very familiar with me even though I barely knew her. Did she sense that I was trying to steal her man? Or flirting with him that’s why she kept trying to matchmake Max and me? Is that why Jerry never sat beside me or directly opposite anymore? 

“Sure ! We’ll go together. The more the merrier, it’s just cats” I quickly force a wide smile and hype up my tone. However, inside of me I felt betrayed. It was really very sensitive and private things we’ve talked about. The least Jerry could do was to tell me someone was beside him. We talked for hours on end sometimes. I guess that’s why his girlfriend reacted that way. Because it would seem weird that you’re talking to another girl for hours while your girlfriend is right beside you. 

After lunch, I headed to Lilian’s desk. I told her that I wasn’t feeling so well and would like to take the rest of the day and week off. I do have some off days I could claim so I decided to use them. I took my backpack and left without even saying my last physical goodbye to Elliot.

Bruce POV:

Lilian mind linked to me that my mate was feeling unwell and had taken the rest of the week off. Well, she seems fine this morning. Did something happen to her? I looked out my office window and it had started raining already. It looked like it’s snowing through the tinted windows. I looked down at the lobby entrance and saw this person taking out a hoodie from her backpack, wore it and walked in the rain. f**k ! That’s my mate. What the f**k is she doing?

I mind linked my secretary that I will be out of office right now and to cancel every appointment I had for today. I rushed out and took the elevator down to the basement car park and drove up the car to catch up with my mate. I found her by the sidewalk, still walking in the rain, all soaked. I stopped the car near her and honked at her. I quickly ran to the boot and took out an umbrella and went by her side. 

My poor mate was shivering and having a blank expression as she stopped walking when I came up in her path with the umbrella. I had no idea what was going on in her mind. I guess she’s shivering because she doesn’t have her wolf to warm her up. Is that why she even has a jacket in her backpack? 

I wrapped my arm around her as I guided her into the passenger seat. I went back to the driver seat and turned up the heater in the car. I held one of her hands that was placed on her knee to give her some warmth but she pulled it back after a second. My heart felt so hurt at her reaction. 

“What happened Lou?” I said as I brushed a bunch of wet hair to behind her ear, exposing her face to me. She was looking down with her fists clenched up now. It looked like she was crying but I can’t tell as it might have been the rain. I once again reached out to take her fist in my hand and gently shook it as if calling out to her. My whole hand was able to grab and cover her fist as her hands are tiny. At my touch, I think I was able to calm her down as I felt her fist relaxed in my hand. She was less tensed.

“ Bruce, can I go home? “ She turned to me and did a small smile.

That was the first time ever she said my name. My heart melted and I just want to f**k her. I want her calling out my name again in bed. Her wet hair reminded me of the day I saw her out of the showers just in a towel. My c**k hardening as I thought of that image.

“ Of course “ I quickly shifted the car’s gear and drove home.
