My mate’s mistress

Chapter 38. Sweet and spicy

I went back to the party to mingle a bit when I caught a whiff of Evon’s scent. I round the corner and saw he brought auri as well. I rolled my eyes and turned to go back upstairs and bumped into Andel.

“ ouch.. look where you’re going man.” I told him.He laughed before grabbing my hand.

“ come, where are you running off to?.”

“ back to my room where else?. Are you sure you’re okay?.”

“ no no no no no. this is our party let’s enjoy it and yes I am perfectly fine. It’s Like I never had a headache.” He grinned at me with a crazy glint in his eyes that it almost freaked me out.

“ o-kayy. don’t grin like that to Angie you might freak her out.” I said as I spot Gael drinking a beer in one corner by himself.

“Whatever you say sis.”

“ what’s wrong with you?. What happened to yolan.” I looked back at him as I pulled my hand away from him.

“ what’s wrong with calling you sis?.

“ it’s weird. I like yolan better” I folded my arms across my chest and frowned at him.

“ okay okay. Let’s go, I’m starving. I don’t see the big deal anyway”

We went to the dining room to get something to eat and while we were putting food on our plate I just felt like someone was watching me. I looked over to where they had put the couch and saw auri burning holes into me. If eyes could k**I would’ve d*** already. I can visibly see that she held onto evon tighter as if someone is gonna snatch him up from her if she doesn’t.

Evon peeled her hand off him and put his hand into his pocket pulling out a small box then got up walking towards me.

My heartbeat increased as I set the plate down and tried to leave but I felt a hand on my wrist before I could even get away through the little crowd.

“ Yolanda. Happy birthday.” He said as he handed me the box. I look around to see if anyone was watching. Gael, my parents and my brother saw this. Gael looked away the moment our eyes met, my parents are looking in awe. Probably thought he’s giving this as a friend but I know better. My brother shrugged turning back to put food on his plate.

“ I’m sorry, I can’t accept it.”

I told him barely above a whisper and looked away.

“ why? It’s a gift for your birthday.”

“ I know. Thank you though.”

“ you’re really not going to take it?.”

“ I really am.” I say as I looked up at him.

“ it’s from my parents and I. Should I tell them you rejected our-“

“ fine.” I snatched the box out of his hand taking a quick glance at my parents who are now frowning so I put on a quick little smile.

“ thank you, evon. I will personally thank your parents.” I gritted with a smile as it even out to a glare. I walked over to where the gifts were and put it in the bag with the others.

“ hey”.

“ oh hey Angie. What’s up.”

“ this is for you.”

“ oh, thank you. You didn’t have to though.” I took the little gift bag looking inside it.

“ you are important to me, why wouldn’t I.”

I looked up at her. Tears burned my eyes as I try to blink them back. I couldn’t hold them anymore and just let them fall. She pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back. I think she’s the only real friend I’ve made in my existence. She’s about five or so inches taller than I am and we have nothing in common so how we became friends I don’t even know but I love her.

“ thank you, Angie.”

“ you’re welcome. Now where is your brother.I had to hide his gift I want it to be the last thing he gets so he goes to sleep with it on his mind”she giggled.

“ he’s gonna go to sleep with it on his mind regardless because it’s from you.” I laughed as I said that and she started blushed. She immediately froze her eyes going wide like saucers as she turned around. I can see her shoulders go up and down from her heavy breathing.

“ Angie what’s wrong.” I held her hand shaking it but she didn’t even move.

Andel’s POV

I forgot the gift that I had prepared for Yolanda in my room thanks to little evon I remembered. I left my food and went to get it and as I was coming back down I’m smelling something sweet and spicy with a little bit of honey in it. Did they prepare something so delicious in that short time I left.

As I near the dining room the scent got stronger. this is too strong to be food and I know all too well what it is. I stopped in my track as I thought of Angie. All of a sudden I didn’t want to see who it was. This would hurt Angie so much knowing she gave me a chance just last night and now.. I don’t even want to think about not having her. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and went into the dining room. I came face to face with a smiling Angie I didn’t waste any time taking big steps towards her and pulling her into my arms hugging her tightly.

“ it’s you. I’m so glad it’s you.” I whispered. I pulled back, pecking her on her cheeks and she giggled. I just love how she gets mushy around me. We both do.

“ is that my gift you’re squishing.” My sister asked

“Oh, I forgot we weren’t here alone, happy birthday si- yolan”

“Thank you.” She smiled going over to sit on the couch. I don’t even think she noticed that she is sitting next to auri who is giving her the death glare

“Congratulations my baby, ohh what a blessing it is to find your mate on your birthday.” My mom squealed rushing over and enveloping us into a big hug.

“Congratulations my boy. So happy to welcome you into our little family..” dad said as he pats my shoulder and give Angie a side hug.

“Angie. Her names is Angie.” I said looking down at her. She was pretty tall for a girl but short to me. I was almost the height of my dad just a few inches away. I think in a year or two i might be his height.

“ beautiful name for a beautiful girl.” My mom says holding Angie’s hand.

Everyone congratulated us saying how happy they are for us. We went outside to have some privacy for a bit.

“ you didn’t seem surprised or shocked that I was your mate.” I asked as I sat on the grass at the side of the pack house and Angie sat on my lap sideways.

“ because I knew.”

“ what do you mean? is that possible?”my brows pinching together and she giggles.

“ I’m nineteen, my birthday is like a month from now.”

“ What!? You’re older than i am? You look younger”

“ yes Andel. I didn’t know the first time we met though. But after my eighteenth birthday I think I was coming here to drop something off or something and I don’t know what happened but I felt this pull towards you but I wasn’t sure or know if you felt it so ..”

“ that’s the day I asked you for your number and you gave it to me” I cut her off. No wonder she didn’t hesitate to give me her number and never refused seeing me.

“ why didn’t you tell me.”

“ would you have believed me? And it’s a good thing I didn’t because you would’ve been sixteen at the time.”

“ come on Angie. I wanted you from the moment I saw you, loved you at just the first glance. You think I would’ve cared if you lied or being younger than you, besides you don’t seem like the type to lie.”

“Awwe you’re making me all giddy.” She says as she turns around straddling me and cups my cheeks trying to hide her blush when I leaned in and kiss her softly on her lips.

My hand going behind her neck to deepen the kiss.

“ don’t mess my hair up.” She whispered before kissing me again.

“ not here, I won’t.” Resting my forehead against her I asked.

“ you wanna go up to my room?” I asked and She looks at me chewing on her lip as if contemplating.

“ we won’t do anything, just chill. Unless..”

“ let’s go.”
