I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown and flushed cheeks.Since when did I care about my appearance this much? I mean, I do care about my appearance. Just not as much as I do now. Picking out clothes in the morning on a regular day, knowing that I would be judged for what I wear, was already a hard task for me. The sickly feelings of anxiety, the intenseness of pressure, it just made me want to throw up and hide in my room for the rest of my life. It wasn’t really as bad as long as I didn’t think about it too much when I got ready. I eyed my outfit in the mirror, feeling my stomach churn uncomfortably. I was wearing a deep v-neck, white top that showed a slither of my stomach. White shorts that had adorable designs of plants that were different colors of navy blue, green, and orange on. And a pair of strappy, flat sandals adorned my feet. I knew why I was caring so much. I was trying to impress Axel for some reason. The reason is that I have a crush on a guy that I’v
Axel.He was supposed to come and pick me up today. I don’t know why he would want to do that. I don’t know why he was so adamant about me answering all the questions he had for me yesterday. I don’t know why I can’t stop thinking about the most handsome stranger I have ever met. Well I know why, I just don’t want to admit it right now. I don’t want to admit that ever since yesterday, I’ve been constantly thinking about Axel. Is that normal? Am I supposed to do that? I’ve never had this reaction for someone before. I usually keep to myself, not really thinking of anyone else unless it directly dealt with me. And even then, I don’t think about it constantly. Not like how I do with him. Stuffing another burrito in my mouth, the sound of a doorbell shook me out of my thoughts. I need to try to stop thinking about him. It's not like anything is going to happen between me and him. It's not like I’m his type anyway. Norah is his type.Scary and Beautiful. “I’ll get it!” Grandpa announc
“You're so cute.” He plucked my breakfast from my hand, shoving it into his mouth as he led me towards my kitchen.“I’m what?” I gasped out. “W-Wait, my grandparents-”“I’m right here my angel.” Grandpa flashed me a grin as he scurried past me and Axel. He entered the kitchen before us with a shout. “Woman! I know you stole one of my burritos! Put it back or face my wrath!”“Your burrito?! You weren’t the one that was slaving over a hot stove!”“You won’t let me cook!”“You don’t make anything healthy! I’m not going to let you kill my granddaughter with your disgusting, unhealthy, greasy food!”“But Margret!” Grandpa whined out, “Our angel loves my food!”“I don’t care! Now sit down and lower your voice! I’m not going to let you embarrass Aurora in front of her first boyfriend!”Boyfriend?I untangled myself from Axel and darted towards the kitchen. Axel is not my boyfriend. I wish he was my boyfriend but that isn’t going to happen. There is no way someone like him would be interested
As if someone like Axel wants to waste his time with someone like me without it ruining the rest of my college life. I bet Norah and her friends are waiting at the school entrance, ready to prank me or do something even worse. I bet it would be one of those cliches when I think I have a chance but Norah comes running up to Axel and jumps in his arms. They’ll make out in front of me while everyone else laughs in my face as I run away crying. Well I’m not falling for it. “Baby girl?” Axel questioned.“Let go!” I wiggled, “I’m n-not going anywhere with you!”“What are you talking about, kitten?”I placed my hands on his chest, trying to shove him away from me. I knew doing that would be hopeless. It would be like a feather trying to shove a perfectly, chiseled, hundred ton stone wall. No impact whatsoever.I could feel hot tears well up in my eyes as my struggle increased. “N-No! Let g-go!”I was hoping if he sees me start to cry like a pathetic crybaby that I am he would let me go. It
I secretly eyed my mate as I drove down the road. The car was full with the smell of her fear and sweet arousal. It took everything in me to not throw her the backseat to my car and fuck her until she felt boneless. She smelt so fucking good. Her usual fruity sweet scent of peaches and fudge turned to a fruity mixture of lemons, raspberries, and sex. I clenched the steering wheel while secretly adjusting myself. Is this how it's going to be? Me constantly trying to control myself whenever I'm around her? I'm not used to that. I'm use to women throwing themselves at me. I never had to control myself. But now I need to. My mate was a delicate human with a world different from mine. Sure, there are plenty of humans who are all over each other when they first meet. But I know Aurora isn't like that. Whores were something that I was used to. They were easy and quick. Willing to spread their legs knowing that nothing will come of it. That didn't stop some of them for trying to make
I pulled into the schools parking lot, parking in my usual spot. I quickly erased the soft, happy look that I was sporting and set it to my usual one. An intimidating look full of blankness and stoicness. My soft eyes harden as I glared at the ogling girls and guys that tried to peer in my car. I glanced over at Aurora, growing angrier at the scared look she was sporting. Fucking idiots was scaring and overwhelming my mate. I swear if she wasn’t in the car I would kill every last one of them. I let out a low snarl as I grasp her hand with one hand, relishing in the heated sparks, and shooting Jeneise and Grayson a command through our mind link. ‘Get these fuckers away from this car now. There scaring Aurora.’ ‘No prob, bob! Just give us one second!’ Grayson chirped out annoyingly in my head. It didn’t take long before I could hear the familiar screeching voice of Grayson. “Hey! Back away from the car! Give that bastard some fucking space you fucking leeches! Shoo! Shoo, I sa
“I d-don’t w-want alot.” She tried to reason with me, “M-Maybe a muffin or s-something.” “What kind?” Without missing a beat, she began to rattled on about what she wanted. “F-Fudge muffin stuffed with almonds, walnuts, and strawberries. Glazed.” “Is that all you want? You can have anything and more.” Maybe I should add a little fruit to her breakfast meal. I didn’t want her to only eat unhealthy food. “Maybe some fruit? You don’t have to limit yourself.” “You d-don’t need to k-keep w-wasting your m-money on me. I-I’ll-” “Money doesn’t matter, kitten. If you want more food then that’s what you get.” I interrupted. I know it's going to take some time but I’m going to have to break that type of thinking. She deserves everything her little heart desire. “Now are you sure that all you want is a muffin?” “M-Maybe a fruit parfait. Or maybe a f-fruit salad. Or-” “How about we decide when we get there?” I offered. I wrapped an arm around her waist, guiding her towards the school buil
I fought the smile from my face as Aurora visibly perked up when we entered the cafeteria. Her grip on my shirt loosened as she tried to wiggle out of my hold. Not wanting her escape my hold, I tightened the arm that was wrapped around her waist, flashing her a warning look. “H-Hungry.” She frowned. “I understand kitten, but I’m not letting you wander around the cafeteria by yourself.” I scolded, “We’ll find a seat and I’ll go get your food. You can get to know Grayson and Vixen.” A huff escaped my frowning mate. Her annoyance was adorable, but I stay firm to what I said. I wasn’t going to let her wander alone when anything could happen to her. It would be best if she stayed with Grayson and Vixen while I tended to her needs. “Oh! Look!” Grayson interrupted my thoughts loudly, one hand reaching over to smack me in the arm while the other one was pointing forward. “It's Jason and Vixen! Are they eating already?! Those bitches didn’t order me anything!” “Don’t touch me.” I snapped
