My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 82

...

Tomas runs his fingers through my head before I roll onto him placing both hands under my chin as my bare chest press against his. I look up at the pink still visible in his cheeks and examine him to the fluff of his hair. I flip my own to the right side.

"So how do you feel?" He tucks a piece of hair behind my left ear.

"My shoulder's starting to hurt again."

"No," he chuckles making his chest vibrate and I find myself tilting my head to side to admire his grin, "I mean about Malic, do you still feel anything?" I think about it for a second.

Every time I thought about him in the pass after the break up, I'd get this repeated dull ache in my chest, but now, thinking about it and him I don't really feel anything. Now that the rejection is done and Tomas bit over his mark, I don't think I have anything more to feel. "No."

"And how do you feel about me?" He blinks down at me.

"You still make me nervous but second chance mates is all about building something right? It's not like it was handed to us like our mates are."

"Right."

"And how do you feel about me?"

"A little pressured, it's not like you have the best example of something healthy and then here I come. I won't be surprised if you set high expectations but I'll meet them, I'll make it a priority to." His eyes wonder to the ceiling. "I just don't want to disappoint." My cheeks lift into a smile.

"Yeah don't fuck this up."

"Wow!" He laughs and I join him. "Just the motivation I needed. Really, thanks."

"We do have something going on this weekend," I start to tell him a little about my mother side of the family that we're going to meet. I know for sure they don't want to meet the pack but more so Tomas who is the only one they don't know.

We keep the talking going as I explain some general rules that even I have to follow, like over there, dinner is served at a late time so when we arrive which would probably be around eight if we leave after school, we'll be in time for dinner.

"So now that you're not going to the military, since I saved you form that, what's left for you?" We're back on basic topics now.

Unfortunately it's an alarm the wakes me up and as my eyes flutter open I drag the sheets with me to go on the hunt for my ringing phone, I try rubbing the sleep form my eyes as I rummaged through my bag for my phone.

I turn the alarm off before dragging myself and my bag into the bathroom where I start to get ready for school. As soon as I'm dressed I move to my makeup then hair putting it back into a ponytail and pull hair form the frame of my face.

Someone is shuffling downstairs and my best guess is it's Tomas, before going down I make his bed since it's the least I can do then head down with my bag. Yep, it's Tomas.

He's in his school clothes but only half dressed and is drinking something out a milkshake cup. He spots me as I take my last step down. "How are you already up?"

"Morning runs," he moves to me, right...like normal people actually do that. He stops giving me a kiss on the cheek as he moves past me. "Eat something." I turn to watch him take the steps two at a time up.

I serve myself and finish before he comes down fully dressed, in his blazer too, I left mine in my school locker. When we leave he drives us to school and he heads to my locker with me like any other day.

Today's about some practice exams in first and second period so we don't really have any time to talk except when it comes to lunch, half way through my English period after lunch my name is called over the intercom and I'm requested in the principal office.
