Fated Mates: The Alpha

Madison: Chapter Eight

Madison

"Oh thank the Goddess you two are here!" I look up from tying on my apron on my tacky uniform dress and smile at Fiona. She looks flustered with a pencil holding up her hair into a bun and what looks like gravy staining her apron.

"Hey, Aunt Fi. What are you doing here?" Wyatt snaps his hair net over his nest of curls and hugs his aunt as she smiles up at him.

"April quit in the middle of her shift yesterday so I'm filling in until your mom can find a replacement."

I grin widely and look at Wyatt. "You owe me fifty bucks."

He groans and begins shaking his head. "Can I pay you in s****l favors? All out of money until Tuesday."

Fiona turns quickly to him her eyes wide and her mouth open in shock. "Wyatt!"

He laughs and I blush hard and shake my head. "I take that as a no, then?"

I roll my eyes and grab my pad and a pen from behind the counter. Fiona huffs out a sigh and slaps the back of his head. "If your uncle Wes could hear you say that..."

"He wouldn't say sh*t," Wyatt says with raised eyebrows.

Fiona sighs and shakes her head. "You're a bad pup. Your cousins are watching you. You need to be a better influence. "

I grin and stick my tongue out at Wyatt as he laughs and apologizes to Fiona. I head to tables to check if they're ready to order or need any refills.

Wyatt steps out to the back and I hear him ask Fiona why April quit.

After I grab some refills for a couple at table two, I come back to listen to the story.

"During the rush yesterday April kept dropping her trays full of food. After she dropped her third tray, I guess she didn't want to hear your mom b*tch at her. By the time your mom and I came out of the office, she was already running out in the parking lot, getting into her car. Your mom was pissed."

Wyatt frowns and sighs. "Why did she keep dropping the trays?"

"F*ck if I know! I just know your mom was about to lose it on her. Not only that but she found April and Ricky in the back room."

I fake gag and shudder. I grab the food that just came to the window and see Ricky grin and wink, having heard the whole explanation.

"That's gross. I can't imagine doing something like that in a restaurant where people eat." I whisper to Wyatt as he busses a table next to me.

Wyatt smiles and looks at me. His chocolate eyes look over my face and stop at my lips. My heart stutters as he looks back up to my eyes and memories of our kiss flood me. I turn away from him, clearing my throat.

"I don't know, Mads, I can see myself getting lost in someone wherever. It doesn't matter what the location is," He leans down and whispers against my ear. His lips brush against my lobe and send electricity shooting down my body.

My arms pebble with goosebumps and I suddenly feel hot. I look up at him and he smirks.

I don't have any response for him. It's not like it's been awkward since the kiss. If anything, he's been normal, which made me feel normal too. But his shameless flirting is doing more to me than it has before. I don't think I've ever felt so hot under the collar as I feel right now.

I smile at him and turn away to work. And that's how it goes the entire afternoon. I can smell my arousal and I know everyone else in the restaurant can too and it's embarrassing as hell. But I can't stop. I pretend like I'm not, but Wyatt is grinning so widely, and even before my shift ends, Fiona pulls me aside and walks me to the bathroom.

"I love you." She says with a smile. "But the patrons can't have their meal with a side of arousal, so get it together, Madison."

I groan and press my head against the bathroom door. "I know. It's just...he's frustrating."

"Wyatt?"

"Who else?"

Fiona smiles and rolls her eyes. "I'll tell him to stop teasing you. But let's get it taken care of before you come back in for your next shift."

I blush and nod. "Are you kicking me out?"

"For tonight I am. Go home. Get a cold shower and relax."

I groan again at how embarrassed I am and nod. "Alright. Thank you."

I walk out, take my apron off, and hang it up. I'm a little pissed that I'm being sent home. It's not like I need the money or anything, but I've never been sent home for something before. Wyatt frowns as I grab my sweater and walk to the front.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I'm going home."

"Are you quitting?" His eyes widen and I shake my head.

"No. Being sent home."

"Why?" He tilts his head innocently and I roll my eyes at him.

"You know why, Wyatt. Don't play dumb."

He blushes and winces. "Sh*t. It's my fault."

I shake my head, feeling my face burn again, and purse my lips. "It's okay. I'll see you later."

I leave before he can say anything else. As soon as I'm in my car, I call Evie. As much as I am embarrassed about what happened, I need my sister to help me figure out what to do about how I'm feeling.

"Hey, what's up?"

I take a steady breath and blink away my tears from the humiliation I feel right now. "I...Evie....what the hell do I do?"

"What happened? Are you crying? Who made you cry? Where are you?"

I laugh at how angry she sounds and my heart fills with love for my twin.

"I...I'm fine. I'm heading home from work early. I got sent home and I'm embarrassed and..."

"Why? What happened? Hold on, let me see if they'll let me out too and I can meet you at home. Or...better yet, we can get ice cream or something. "

I release a breath and nod. "Yeah, okay. I'll meet you at the strip mall?"

"Yeah. Ten minutes."

We hang up and I turn my car around to head to the ice cream parlor at the strip mall. It's old and Danny's Diner has been taking customers from them since it was built, but it's still one of my favorite places to go with Evie.

I wait in my car as I wait for Evie to arrive and when she does, she climbs out of her car quickly and into my passenger seat.

As soon as she gets in the car, she crinkles her nose and looks at me with her eyebrows furrowed.

"What happened?"

"I...Wyatt's been flirting all day and I can't stop..."

Evie nods and rolls down the passenger window. "Yeah, I can smell it. F*ck...you need to get laid. I swear, Maddy, it's strong."

I groan and wipe my hand over my face. "I...this wasn't a problem before!"

Evie rubs my arm and I lay my head on the steering wheel. "Because of the kiss?"

"Yes! I...I've never felt so..."

"Horny?" She raises her eyebrows and my face flushes as I nod.

Evie smiles and pulls me into a hug. "So...do something about it." She snorts and pulls back.

"Like what? I can't...I don't want to sleep with him. I mean....F*ck!" I slam my hands on the steering wheel and Evie rubs my back gently, snickering.

"It's called m*sturbating, id*ot. Flicking the bean. Petting the cat. Shaking hands with the milkman."

I laugh as I turn to Evie and her ridiculous phrases and shake my head. "I...How does it feel?"

"To masturbate?"

"No...sex."

Evie sits back and her smile seems a lot more relaxed as she thinks about it. "It...it's soo good. It's like...Eating chocolate after going without it for years. It's like...I don't know, Mads. It's just good. Like the best release in the world. I don't have any experience with anyone other than Wyatt, but...it's amazing. He's amazing."

I blush as I think of the kiss we shared and try to tamp down the arousal I felt that got me in trouble today.

"Ugh...can you go in and get the ice cream? I don't think I'm fit to go inside."

She laughs as she nods and pecks my cheek. When she gets back with two giant double scoops, of chocolate cones, I start to feel better.

"Maybe you should just...do it. I mean...what's the worst that can happen? Wyatt is good with putting on protection and he's our best friend. He won't make things weird."

I frown and take a deep breath. "I can't. I mean, I know I could of I wanted to, but its...it scares the crap out of me. More like my feelings. I don't want to take that leap and end up getting so much feelings for him that I might have to give up later, you know? I don't know how you do it. I...I don't want to hurt."

Evie frowns and stares at her cone. "I guess in my head, I feel like if he isn't our mate, then atleast I have those memories to look back on. I get to remember the time that he used to be mine and be grateful for that."

I raise my eyebrows and lay my head back against my headrest. I don't know what sounds better. To have those memories or to never have them at all.

I get a text from Ro and show it to Evie. "They want to meet up at the stream."

Evie raises her eyebrows at me. "What do you want to do?"

I grit my teeth and shrug. Obviously I have to talk to Wyatt about today. He smelled me. He knew what happened. But what about Ro? Would he make fun of me?

"If you're worried about Ro, I can distract him so you could talk to Wyatt?"

I bite my lip and nod. "Okay. Thank you."

Evie smiles at me and shrugs. "I'd do anything for you, Mads. You're my best friend."

I lean into her and lay my head on her shoulder. "Me too. You're mine."

About a half hour later, Evie and I make it to the stream where the guys are already sitting in the back of Wyatt's truck. Ro holds up a beer and Wyatt smile as we make our way over.

The back of Wyatt's truck is full of blankets and pillows along with a twelve pack of beer and snacks.

"Oooh! Orgy!" Evie yells as she jumps onto the tailgate and grabs a pillow.

"F*ck yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Ro grabs me by the waist and I laugh as he nuzzles my neck.

With how I've been feeling all day, I bite my lip and push away from him. Wyatt's frowning as he watches. Evie raises her eyebrows at me and I try a smile.

Ronan grins and sits down next to Evie and wraps an arm around her shoulders. "What have you two been up to?"

"Ice cream." Evie says with a grin. "Double scoop chocolate."

"Aww..and you couldn't invite us?" Ronan pouts.

I smile and shrug. "Sister time." I shrug and take a seat as far from Wyatt as possible. Wyatt's frown deepens and he stands up.

"Hey, Mads, do you want to go check out the water with me?"

I glance at Evie next to me and she bumps me with her shoulder.

I sigh. "Sure."

I get up and let Wyatt take my hand as he leads me to the stream behind the trees where they can't see us.

"I'm sorry about today." He says as he sits down by the bank and looks up at Mr.

"You didn't do anything you don't usually do. It was all me. I'm sorry."

Wyatt sighs and runs his hands through his curls. "No...I...I knew what I was doing. I...Don't be embarrassed, but after I smelled it the first time, I couldn't help myself. I wanted to keep on making it happen."

I blush and hide my face in my hands. "That's so embarrassing."

"I know, I'm sorry. For what it's worth, I got in deep trouble by my mom when she heard what I did."

"Oh Goddess, your mom knows?"

He places his hand on my arm and I glance over at him. lowering my hands.

"Yeah, Fiona told her."

I growl and lay back on the cold, hard ground.

He lays back with me, his arm brushing against mine, his fingers intertwining with mine.

"Wyatt..."

"Please don't tell me you don't want to hang out with me anymore. That would kill me."

"No. It's not that..."

He looks at me and brushes his fingers over my face.

"What is it then?"

"I...can you kiss me again?"

His eyebrows raise and he sits up slowly. "You want me to?"

"I..." My face is burning despite how cold it is outside and I sit up with him.

"Only if you want. I don't want to-"

He presses his lips to mine catching me completely off guard. My body begins burning for a completely different reason. His tongue grazes my lips and I open my mouth like the first time we kissed.

I moan in his mouth as he pulls me closer and I feel the electricity pucker my n*pples. I feel myself getting wet as he lays me back against the hard ground, cradling my head with his hands.

He pulls away and looks down at me with hooded eyes full of lust. "I could kiss you forever and never get tired of it."

I smile and caress his stubbled cheek. "Don't say sweet things like that."

He smiles and presses his lips to mine again for a short, sweet kiss. "Well it's the truth. I like kissing you."

I think of what Evie said earlier and I wonder if this is going to hurt me later. I bite my lip and watch his eyes dip down to my mouth. He presses his thumb against my lip, and shakes his head.

"If anyone is going to bite your lip, it should be me."

Shivers run down my spine and I take a deep breath.

"So it is that type of party?" We both look back as Ronan comes up from behind the trees with a smirk. Evie is pulling his arm and I duck my head and blush.

"Ro, if you dare touch the twins, I will cut your balls off."

Ro laughs. "Fine...so I can only touch you, Wyatt?"

Wyatt grins and shakes his head. "Come try and see what happens."

Ro runs at Wyatt and tackles his back to the ground and straddles him. Evie and I laugh as Wyatt struggles to fight him off, laughing when Ro grabs his face and kisses him hard.

"There!" He says with a grin as he stands up and looks at Evie and I. "Now all of us have kissed Wyatt!"

We laugh and I sigh in relief that everything seems to be back to normal.
