She looks so fucking smart when she doesn't do stuff like reading.
" I have never read a book just for the fun of it".
"Do you have any book you think I might like?"I asked because I was trying to get on her good side and partly because I don't want to be pathetic and ask her to let me head.
" Hmm, maybe". She gets out of bed and is wearing a tank top with little pajama shorts and I couldn't help but groan at the sight. She smirks at me like she knows exactly what she is doing before she hands me a book from the shelf.
" It is a book about a famous general. Their strategies and old letters that they wrote, and things like that". She says with a shrug and climbs back on her bed.
" That does sound good". I admit before removing my shoes and sitting on the floor next to her bed where my pillow and blanket from last night still lay.
I kept adjusting my position, making a show of trying to get comfortable. I turn to lean my back against her bed, making the bed shake and I hear Rachel snort in annoyance.
" I know what you are doing, and that won't work," says and I turn to look at her, making wide eyes and pouting out my bottom lips.
"The floor is just uncomfortable, sweetheart, can I just sit next to you until it's time to sleep?" I was practically whining but it was still what it was. She sighs heavily before she makes some room on the bed for me.
"Fine. But keep your hands to yourself". She warned and I nod enthusiastically as I try to slip under her blanket with her. She scoffs and grabs it from me.
"Use your blanket". She says and my heart takes another hit.
Every time she pushes me away, it hurts a little more. And then she sprinkled affection in there, like the hug she gave me, and then her coldness hurt even more. My wolf had been in a constant state of panic, scared that his mate wouldn't want him. I had never imagined this is what it was going to look like to be with my mate. But at the end of the day, I knew I messed up, I can't just expect her to forgive me. And I am proud that she is strong and stubborn. She will make an excellent Luna. If she accepts me,
I grab my blanket and snuggle down next to her and start to read. I'm engrossed in the book for I'm not sure how long before I look over to Rachel. She had fallen asleep with her book on her chest. The sight makes me smile. I took a book and marked her page before pulling up her blanket and tucking her in. I peck her forehead before slipping off the bed into my spot on the floor.
I drift into sleep while trying to think of a way to win her over.
Rachel
I don't remember falling asleep last night but I woke up to the sun streaming through my window, I leaned over my bed and looked down at Gabriel, only to see that he wasn't there. His blanket is folded on top of his pillow with a little slip of paper.
" I have to go see my dad, will come to find you later".
I smiled a little at the thoughtfulness of the nite he left. I'm sure there are a few girls that he could spend the night with and they would be glad to do so. The thought irritated me a little, but I tiled it up to the mated bond and was also going to ignore the fact that I miss him a little.
