Chapter 78: Chapter 78

: Chilling Out

‘Should I be happy or not I thought as I watch the stranger before me.

I knew nothing of him but he seems to know me better. So I guess he's someone from the past.

"It's good to see you again Adassah" he broaden his smile as I keep on frowning at him.

It is funny that he can't take any hint that I don't remember him. He smiles at Cora and Jea. "We kind of met in College, we're friends" he nervously said while nodding his head.

The door of the diner opens and I saw my mate in his black v neck shirt and denim pants walking inside with Kevin on his side.

I felt my insides swirl and I gulp at the sight of him as I have just seen him in another light or lens filter. My core throbs with urges to grind him again as I did before.

"Fuck, Alera see what you have made of me?" my wolf bluff "hoi that's you being horny not me" she deadpan.

I instantly took a drink from our table and gulp it. My throat burns from the liquid I drank. This must be my first time tasting alcohol and I must say it’s okay.

They both didn't notice us as they turn in another way and wave to the people at the table Kaiser was at and I silently pray he wouldn't.

Unfortunately, the door opens again and that big mouth Jay turns in our direction shouting

"wood Hellooooo Adassah and your friends," he waves his hand in our way.

Matteo's head whip in our direction and I take another drink from the table. Suddenly I feel like the earth moves beneath me after taking two shots of it.

"Are you okay?" Kaiser asks and I just nod my head at him while my eyes fix on Matteo coming in our way with Jay trailing behind.

I gulp my saliva when he is nearer and when he finally did he didn't waste any time giving me a, hi or hey.

He pecks me on the lips with his hand going around my waist holding me tight.

"You drink alcohol?" I just blush like a freaking idiot instead of replying. I wish my mouth could say anything yet I couldn't even utter one sentence.

Matteo rested his head on my shoulder hugging me from the back while facing Kaiser.

"You know my girl Kai?" everyone has different reactions when he asks that to Kaiser.

Take, for instance, Cora and Gia; they roll their eyes with glare muttering 'pussy' and 'oh please' while Jay looks on like a lovelorn puppy and whimpers 'whipped' and as for Kaiser he is taken aback by his question.

"Come on buddy, how did you know my girl?" Matteo asks him twice.

Kaiser scratches the back of his head "we met in College" he finally said. "I didn't know she's taken" Kaiser added on.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Matteo removes his head from my shoulder and he seized his friend up and down with his eyes.

"Look it wasn't that long since we last saw each other and I thought she didn't have a boyfriend cause she said she didn’t” Matteo frown even more with Kaiser’s words.

"Well buddy, she is my mate not boyfriend" he corrected him and I know he is getting possessive.

Kaiser's eyes widen even more "man, I'm sorry... I just didn't know she's your mate" his eyes rested on me.

"Hmmm, now you know that she is mine so whatever feelings or crush you have for her beat it," he said with a stern look.

I look at him with disbelief at how he is treating his friend. I mean he didn't have to be a jerk about it, the dude just says he didn't know we're mates.

"Don't need to be a jerk to your friend" I elbow him in the stomach. I am letting his attitude go since his friends are around but wait till we go home.

"He's my friend, not yours" he kisses me on the neck and I glare at him.

"Okay lovers enough for the show and Matt cut the kissing thing or you'll end up like early today," Jay says wiggling his brow at Matteo and he glare right back at Jay.

Jay turns around and calls over his other four friends including Kevin to come over. I could see Gia and Cora glaring at Jay and even I hate the idea of them joining our table.

We are just hanging out for the first time by ourselves and here is the douche inviting his whole party crew.

The waiters came right away and set up another table with extra chairs to fit all of us at the corner. Luckily the place was spacious enough for us all.

There was no squeezing around or breathing in to do so that we could fit there.

Once we settled down Jay began the introduction with Jace, Anna, Kaiser, Hani, Cruz, Kevin, and Logan. I could see the girls gritting their teeth while faking a smile with the introduction.

My friends do not even like his friends. It's like we're two different sets of groups that don't seem to hang out together and aren't supposed to.

After the introduction, it came to my attention that Hani is an addition to the group as the others have been friends a long time.

There was a little bit of tension in the beginning but after a while, everybody just chills around and the girls were hard on chatting with Ana and Hani.

Matteo held my hand and whisper in my ear wanting to know if I am okay. I blush again and nodded my head like a young kid.

He leans in to kiss me and I look away to the other side with giddy and only to see both Kevin and Kaiser staring at me.

They abruptly turn away but too late as Jace has noticed his two friends' actions and he frowns at it. There was a little bit of disappointment written on his face until he turns and met my eyes. He then replaced it with a smile and turn back to talk to Jay.

Gosh, that dude was so talkative; I don't know why Matteo made him a Beta. I would say Evan could be one since he was cooler than the chosen Beta.

Since everyone was talking to one another, Matteo and I were talking in low whispers. He has put up a barrier for hearing between us and the others around, shutting them off from our conversation.

He is apologizing for his earlier behavior and also kind of asks me whether I want to be his Mate or not. Of course, we already said the ‘I love you’ words but we haven't talked about us being a real item.

So yes, I have agreed to be his Mate and also to go on a date with him once we're both free.

"Okay, that's it you two, enough" Cora stood up slamming her hands on the table and reaching for Matteo's shoulder breaking a temporary barrier between us and them in hearing.

"I'm calling Jem" and she took out her phone dialing a number while taking a shot. After calling her mate she then calls Ed earning a distasteful glance from Gia yet it didn't stop Cora from doing it.

When Jem and Ed joined our table sometimes later, Jace suggested that we should go to a club to end our night.

Everyone agrees to go except for me as the alcohol was kind of making me dizzy. I know I only take two-shot but seriously my headaches a lot. Maybe because it’s my first time drinking.

The girls pouted their lips and gave me a kitten look as if they are going to cry if I don't go.

I ended up going and I love how Matteo's hands never left my waist even though his two friends creep me out.

I want to tell my mate but I know it's going to ruin our night, therefore, might as well wait after tonight.
