My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 57

"Then give me five more minutes," I hear him slump back into bed. At his point he is not going to wake up so I have to comply.

"Okay fine."

"Fine what?" I hear the sheet shuffle, instead of answering, I set into the shower. "Nadia? Fine what? What are you agreeing too?" With the grin on my face I let the water consume me drowning out any outside noises, including Saints need for clarification.

We're late to school. It's not surprise for me but I still scold Saint until we get to school, unlike him I have to go to the councillors office for missing last Friday's meeting.

It's nothing major, just the regular check ups to see how I'm settling and whatnot, my morning absence however do come up and I have to make up a ridiculous.

Just as the bell to second period starts I walk out and start making my way to class, my name is called out and I see Tomas making his way to me. "We need to talk,"

"Yeah sure," the urgency in his tone puts me a little off ease. "Let just go back to glass so we can-"

"Not in class, defeats the whole purpose if we do talk there." He starts to lead us out and I follow close behind him.

"Is everything okay?" I try to replay all the possible scenarios that might have triggered him. "Are you okay?" Is this about his mate? Is she back? I don't want to pry to much letting him lead us behind a gym building that looks down the hill.

"You were supposed to go home last night right?" His eyes scan mine.

"Yes, yeah I was."

"But you didn't. Did you? You went back to Malic's place." Time stops for me, I believe my organs have stopped and I can't even bring myself to nod, I just stare. What is he trying to say? Where is is he going with this? "Right?"

"Yeah, I did."

"She called you every name in the book, then Malic walked in, defended you, shut her up, then complete silence." We blink at each other as seconds pass by. "What are you...going to do?" My silence is enough of an answer for him.

I drag myself down to the ground letting my knees graze on the dry grass. Bella was supposed to go to Saint last night? Was that why he was a little surprised to see me? He was expecting me, his eyes said it all, I just didn't think he was expecting someone else.

Something rings like sirens around me. "We need to get back, to class I mean." I nod but Tomas move anyways to help me up and guides me back to class. I know where are classes are, I've been around long enough, but for once, I need his guidance.

I drag my feet lightly but start to straighten up the closer we get to class, I nods to put on a poker face so Saint doesn't suspect anything, I shouldn't know at the end of the day.

As I step in, my eyes lock to his ice blue once, my heart should flutter, it should skip a beat, but it's barely beating. He gives me a small smile and I return the favour going to my seat, my eyes travel to the blonde two seat away form him.

She has her eyes pinned on me but I quickly move my own back to Tomas. "So, did you enjoy your birthday gifts?" The bottom line of my lashes prickle.
