I raise my eyebrow at him and turn back in my seat. “I didn’t think so.”
The teacher comes in and it’s a movie day. I groan inwardly, while most of the class cheers outwardly.
The lights go off and Clint subtly moves his seat closer to mine.
I stare intently at the screen. “I’m not fishing for compliments.” He says.
“Mmhmm.”
“I do think you have the wrong idea about me.”
I wait him out, not saying anything.
“I just want to get to know you.”
Really?”
“Yes, is that so difficult to believe?”
I turn to look at him. “Why?”
He frowns. “Why what?”
“Why are you suddenly so interested in me?”
I watch as he struggles for an answer. Has no one ever questioned him about this before? Probably not.
Calista’s thought about this being a competition comes rushing back to me.
That’s exactly what this is. It’s some kind of bet between him and Anders and he didn’t have a back-up story prepared when I asked why he wanted to get to know me.
“We’ve never spent any time together. I just thought it would be nice to get to know each other.” He finally says.
I grab a piece of paper and begin writing.
“Right, you just suddenly decided that after all these years you wanted to get to know me?”
“I…well…yes.”
I shake my head and keep writing
When class ends, I hand him the paper and walk out of class without looking back.
My name is Lily Raines
I’m 17 years old
I’m 5 foot 6 inches tall
I have brown hair and blue eyes
I want to be a warrior when I graduate
I will not sleep with you, so stop pursuing me.
That’s what I read on the paper that she handed to me as she walked out of class. I read it again and then look at the place where she walked out. This is going to be harder than I thought.
First of all, every time she looks at me, I get so lost in her blue eyes that I can’t even remember my name, much less what we were talking about. I’m guessing by now she thinks I’m an idiot.
‘You are an idiot.’ My unhelpful wolf tells me.
And now she thinks I just want to sleep with her. When she asked me why I’m suddenly pursuing her, I didn’t have a good reason. I don’t want to tell her that we’re mates. I obviously have some damage control to do before we get to that point. And while I was getting lost in the never-ending blue of her eyes, she apparently took my lack of response as me wanting to get in her pants. Which let’s be honest, I absolutely do. But not as a hook up or a one-time thing. I want this woman next to me, beside me in bed and in life, forever.
‘Maybe you should let me try. You just keep screwing it up.’ Donovan says to me.
‘I’m open to suggestions.’ I tell him as we walk out to meet with Anders.
‘Let me out tonight. We can find where she lives, and I’ll go say hi.’ It’s not the worst idea he’s ever had.
‘It’s better than any idea you’ve had.’ Donovan retorts.
“Hey, how did it go?” I slap-shake Anders as I walk up to him, asking about how things went with Calista today.
“Like shit. You?”
“Same.” I told him this morning about Lily being my mate. When we saw her and Calista walking to school, I thought it was the perfect way to not only get to know my mate but give Anders some time with Calista. However, we both got burned.
“We need a plan.” He says to me.
“Donovan wants to try and find Lily tonight. I’m willing to give it a try and see how it goes.”
Anders looks thoughtful. “I think we need something bigger than that. I’ll think about it, but it needs to be a grand gesture.”
I laugh at my friend. “You’re the one with the grand gestures. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll be your wing-man.”
His eyes open wide. “That’s a great idea!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Top Gun. Bar scene. Singing to his girl.”
“Your voice sucks dude. No one wants to hear you sing.”
