“I’m done, so I’ll just take this into the kitchen.” I stated. Mom nodded her head before returning to her conversation with Emily. I walked out of the dinning room and into our kitchen, gently setting my bowl in the sink. I went to turn around and rammed right into a hard chest. I stumbled backwards but right before I fell a strong muscled arm wrapped around my waist.
Sparks exploded everywhere our skin touched and I had to hold in a happy sigh. Xander slowly brought me up and positioned me on my feet. He was standing only inches away from me and I knew that if I was to look up I would be in the perfect position to kiss him.
I slowly rose my head up, and just as I had thought his lips were inches from mine. I stared into his warm brown eyes and felt my breath catch in my throat. Xander slowly leaned towards me, his face inching closer to mine, and just as I thought he was about to kiss me he leaned around me and set his plate into the sink.
Xander looked down at my flustered face before backing away from me. He started walking away from me and I let out a relieved sigh, but he stopped right before he exited the room. He turned around and stared right into my eyes, a cocky smirk making its way onto his face.
Remember what I said last night, your mine and only mine.” Xander stated, and with that he walked out of the room leaving me with my thoughts. My crazy confusing thoughts about my crazy confusing mate.
Celestes POV
I sighed angrily as I stared at the board in front of me. The weekend had, like always, flew by and today was dreadfully Monday. I was currently sitting in my fourth period English class, staring up at the board and listening to the teacher ramble on about something I couldn’t care less about. Suddenly I felt something hit the back of my head, I quickly turned around in my seat and glared at the idiot sitting behind me.
“What do you want Seth?” I asked quietly. Seth smirked at my angry face before becoming serious.
“Have you seen the new girl?” He asked me just as quietly. I tilted my head to the side and frowned.
“New girl?” I asked confused. Seth nodded his head quickly. I hadn’t heard anything about a new girl at school so the news was a bit surprising. “No, I haven’t seen her. Why? A there something weird about her or anything?” I whispered quietly, Seth bit his lower lip before slowly shaking his head.
“There’s nothing weird about her, but all of the guys are all over her.” He said, not meeting my eyes. I frowned slightly before replying.
“What do you mean?” I was confused now and he was obviously going to have to spell it out for me. Seth sighed before running a hand threw his hair.
“What I mean is, she’s dressed like a slut and all of the guys are all over her, including your mate.” He said the last part very quietly so that no prying ears would hear. I nodded my head before turning around in my seat. It hurt to know that Xander was all over her, I mean after the scene he pulled at the club I actually thought that maybe he wanted me, but I guess I was wrong.
The bell suddenly rung, making me jump slightly in my chair. I quickly gathered all of my things and shoved them into my bag. Jumping up from my seat I slowly walked out of the classroom. Seth and Lela were waiting for me outside the classroom door and by the look on Lela’s face I knew that she had heard the news.
“Lets go.” I said, plastering a fake smile onto my face but Seth and Lela, being my best friends, saw right threw it. The three of us all quickly walked towards the lunchroom. I really didn’t want to go into there, because I knew that I would see Xander and that slut, but I had to show him that I was stronger then he thought I was. We entered the lunchroom and I couldn’t help but to scan my eyes around the room, looking for him. And I immediately found him.
Xander was seated at his usual table with all of his usual friends but one thing was different, he had a girl sat right on his lap and he was steadily making out with her. I’m not going to lie and say that it didn’t hurt my heart to see that but it didn’t hurt as much because I had honestly gotten used to it. I was just about to turn away when Xander brought his lips away from the girls and looked right up at me.
Our eyes connected and the last thing I wanted to do was look away. I looked into lus eyes deeply and for a moment, only a moment. I saw pain in Xander’s eyes but he quickly covered it up lofore looking away from me and going back to his slut. I frowned deeply before turning back to Seth and Lela. They both had worried looks on there faces but I simply shook my head before walking over to our table.
