Chapter 46 I'm sorry
Chapter 46 I'm sorry
Mia and I and some other members left right after the talk I had this morning with Andrew's parents to shop for things needed, such as food and clothing and supplies for the pack in the city. We got most of the things, all we need is a coffee break after all that walking.
"Ugh my feet are killing me." I complain.
Mia and I both take a seat at the first table we see free and wait for the barista.
"After this I need a long nap." She pauses and looks outside. "Or I could just call it a day."
I smile and look at my watch. "It just 5:30."
She looks at me disappointedly. "I thought you knew me by now. When the sun's down so am I." I playful roll my eyes .She says it like it's her Motto.
A perky brunette walks up to us. "Hi, I'm your waiter. What can I get you?"
"Hi can I get mocha latte and a cinnamon roll. No make it two rolls." I deserve a treat.
"Ooh that sounds good. I'll have the same but a glazed donut instead."
"Sure thing. Is that all?"
"Yes." We both said in unison. She leaves to get our orders.
"So what is up with the problem?" Mia asks.
I look at her confused on what she's talking about. Does she know about my Cristian problem?
"The rogue issue." She clarifies.
"Oh. We're still not completely sure on what's the deal with them but their more dangerous than usual."
"Like how dangerous?" She asks.
"Here you go." The barista places our orders in front of us and we thank her before she leaves.
"Like they rip their own hearts out if taken hostage."
"Easy. Just take them hostage." She jokes.
"If only it were that simple. But I don't know, something about them scare me. I've never seen one but they scared Andrew so much, he doesn't want me anywhere near them."
"You know Andrew is protective of you. If there is any danger that could cause you harm he'll do anything to keep as far from it as possible."
"I know." I sigh and take a sip of my coffee.
"I'm surprised he hasn't asked you to marry him yet."
"Is it bad that he hasn't yet?"
"No. Elle I don't want you to think that you have to get married. Lucas and I aren't even talking about that."
"Yeah but you two have just been together for a year now."
"And two years is still early."
I pause for a second. "You're right, you're right. I should stop. I told Andrew I didn't care about a stupid ring." I guess I'm just reading too much into tradition.
We finally finished our food and I might of ordered another cinnamon roll. There really good but sadly it's time to leave. I have to use the bathroom and Mia chose to wait for me in the car.
I wash my hands and dry them off with a paper towel and leave the bathroom. With not looking where I'm going I bump into someone. I instantly start to apologize and freeze as I look up at them.
"Cristian?" I ask in disbelief.
"Uh... No." I blink my eyes rapidly and realize it is someone completely different.
"Oh. I thought you were some- someone else."
The person walks off and my head starts to hurt from all of this. It's getting worse.
I quickly make my way to the car. Mia looks at me worried. "Hey you ok? Looks like you've seen a ghost."
I think I did.
After the long drive it is already dark out. Some of the pack members helped with all the stuff so I headed straight home and so did Mia.
I drop my things as soon as I walk through the door and sit on the sofa and turned on the TV. Ooh big bang theory is on.
"Bazinga!" I laugh at Sheldon's iconic word.
The front door opens and Andrew walks in. He smiles as soon as he sees me.
"I've been needing to see that face all day."
I smile and scrunch my nose. "Now you have it." He walks over to me and kisses me before siting down and putting my feet on his lap.
He starts rubbing my feet and I moan from how good it feels. "Yep right there."
"I love hearing you say that." I blush remembering the times I said that. "Been a long day huh?"
"Yeah. You'd think being a werewolf has it's perks."
Andrew sighs, "Elle are you ok?"
"Yeah why?"
"No. You've been acting strange lately for the past couple weeks and it's scaring me." "So I'm asking again, Are you ok?"
I hesitate for a second thinking over it. I know I was ready to tell him this morning but I don't want to worry him. "I.... I'm fine. I promise. I have just been really stressed with all the rogue situation and with the dinner that's in a couple of days." I feel so bad for lying to him.
He pulls me by my legs closer to him. He looks at me with those beautiful chocolate eyes and says, "I don't want you to worry anymore. I hate seeing you unhappy."
"I know." I whisper.
I slowly move on and gently kiss his lips. Things start to get faster and I end up straddling him. Clothes ended up on the floor and so did we.
......
It's the dinner party with the Night walkers today and everyone is going around introducing their selves.
"It's so nice to finally meet you." I greet Luca, the Alpha and put my hand to shake his.
He smirks and kisses my hand. "As do I."
Andrew snakes his arm around me and puts his other hand out palm face down like how Luca is holding mine. "And I'm her mate." I turn my face away hiding my smile.
Luca loosens his hand and I withdraw mine and place it around Andrew's waist.
"Hello Andrew. Nice to finally meet you. Seeing this pretty beauty I couldn't resist myself." He says smiling at me.
"Keep looking at her like that, I won't be able to resist myself from connecting my fist to your face."
I scold him by hitting him on the arm. "Behave." I say through our mind link.
He looks down at me clenching his jaw. He squeezes my hip telling me he will stop. He does it a lot when people get on his nerves but I strangely find it comforting.
We all stand in an awkward silence until Luca breaks it. "Again. I'm sorry." He says before walking off to the table with refreshments.
"Like hell you are." We both say under our breaths. I don't like him either.
I turn my attention back to Andrew. "Why did you do that? You do know that we need their help. Right?"
"I know, I just couldn't help it. I'm sorry." Before I could reply to him Veronica asks for everyone's attention.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats as the dinner will now begin."
We both take our respective seats, both of us next to each other and so it goes for every couple at the table.
"Have I told you how sexy you look in that dress?" Andrew mind links me.
"Yes two times already."
"Now three times."
"I want to thank you Alpha Luca and your pack for joining us today and partnering with us about our situation." Everyone raises their glass to the toast.
"You may dig in." Everyone starts to eat and chat amongst each other.
Andrew starts taking to the Beta of the Night walker pack and I with Francesca, Luca's sister.
"I love your dress." She compliments.
"So do I. I love it off you too." Andrew says through our mind link.
I smile trying to ignore his hand on my thigh. "Thank you. I love yours."
"I actually got it from Paris."
"Definitely not where she got the wig." Andrew says.
I kick his feet under the table and he squeezes my inner thigh close to my center. I clear my throat trying not make anything noticeable.
"You got lucky with that one." She points to Andrew licking her lips.
"You don't have anyone I see." Just like your brother.
"Find your own biatch." Eva growls under her breath.
"Don't have to rush finding... the one." She says smirking looking Andrew.
Andrew raises my dress and I hold my breath as his cold hands rubs on my bare inner thighs.
Without control of my mouth I say, "You sure? Old and lonely isn't a good look on you."
We both gasp in sync as Andrew inserts his finger in my center. I grip on to the table as he goes in and out.
"How old do you think I am?" She asks.
"I don't know but those wrinkles aren't helping you." She turns away and pulls out a small mirror in a swift motion.
Do that a lot huh? Shut up Elle.
I bite my lip trying not to moan in front of all these people. Andrew pulls my chair closer to him and I grab his arm as he speeds up his pace.
"I want to taste you so bad right now." He whispers in my ear.
I unconsciously laugh from the feeling his finger is giving me. He makes me feel so giddy.
"Elle." An old guy calls my name.
"Hi." I say out of breath. Wait that's Luca's father. I fix my posture better but Andrew takes his hand out. I frown missing the feeling. "Hi." I say more consciously.
"Veronica as been telling me a lot about you."
"Nothing bad I hope."
He laughs, "All good."
I look at Andrew and he's licking his fingers. I look away blushing.
For the rest of the dinner I got glares from Francesca and smirks from Luca. Andrew would catch his eyes on me and glare at him but sometimes he would act like he's not there. Wish I could flip him off but don't want to ruin the deal. I'm already on Francesca's bad side but it's really not my fault. I just get really jealous if anyone looks at him in a certain way.
At some point of the dinner I zoned out.
......
"Stop it."
"No please let me say this." I cry. "We've had our differences but you've also been my friend. You saved me, both you and Simon. I want to thank you for that."
"Cristian I-" I stop and run to him and hug him. "Siempre te amare Cristian Hernandez."
......
I gasp as I zone back in. With my breathing out control, I get up from the table and run out of anyone's sight and far from the table. Uncontrollable tears are pooling from my eyes and breathing uneven.
Andrew comes running worried. "Elle what is it? What's wrong?"
"Cristian. I keep seeing Cristian."
"What?" He asks confused.
"I keep seeing him in my dreams, like I keep seeing every moment we had together."
"Is this what's been happening to you for the past couple weeks?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
"I didn't want you to worry."
"How do you think I feel now Elle? That's all I do!" He holds my face with both hands. "Elle you lied to me. You told me you were ok. What if all of this overwhelms you and it breaks you down. Do you remember what happened to you two years ago."
"I know." I cry.
He puts his forehead to mine. "Baby I-" He pauses and groans. He steps away from me and punches the wall. "Fuck!" He shouts before he storms off.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.
