Chapter 51: Chapter 51

I could tell that Jake was scared to say or do anything that didn't sit well with me and that was why he asked me the question back. He was right to be that way because I didn't want a guy that didn't care about my feelings. I glanced at the bathroom's door before looking back at him with a sly smile, deciding to tease him.

"I don't know yet, but I'll let you think of what I might do."

He chuckled, "When did you become a tease?"

I gasped as I placed one hand against my chest in mock shock, "Haven't I always been one?"

He chuckled again as he shook his head, "Yes, you have, and that's one of the reasons that you keep drawing me to you."

"What are the other reasons? My hotness?" I asked, raising both eyebrows in question.

He grinned as he replied, "That's also one of the reasons, but there are many like how you are so caring and compassionate like you were with Leo earlier today. Then there's how you do the right thing, not caring about who might judge you."

"It sounds like you're describing you because that's how I see you." I said, sincerely, and realizing how very alike we were. We had so many things in common, probably why we understood each other and were in love.

"Like I said, we're so alike, and I'm glad for that. I have never met someone that understands me as well as you do."

"Me neither, even when I dated Kane, he was just evil and arrogant." I said as I moved my gaze from him to the ground as I remembered how bad it was to be in a relationship with Kane.

"Let's not talk about him, he'll dampen our moods." I looked back at him to see him sporting a worried expression. He continued, "I'll go freshen up and be right back."

"Okay." I replied with a small smile and I watched as he turned around to walk to the bathroom.

I didn't even know what we would wear the next day, but maybe I could call the front desk to see if they can bring something up for us. Moving to the head of the bed where the bed side table was with a telephone, I picked up the telephone.

I saw the number of the front desk written on a paper next to the phone. So I dialed it and placed the telephone against my ear. It started ringing and the call was answered the second ring. "Hello, this is the front desk, how can I help you?"

"Hi, this is Max from room fifteen, and I would like to ask if the three of us could get some clothes brought up. We didn't know that we would take too long to travel, so we didn't pack." I said into the phone as I heard the voice of the receptionist from earlier.

"Alright, Ma'am. We have several varieties of clothes that include shirts, jeans, dresses and skirts, which would you prefer?"

"Two girl jeans and shirts, then three guy jeans with shirts, and one jean with a shirt for the boy that the as with us."

"Alright, we will bring them right up."

"Okay, how much would that be?"

"The five jeans and shirts are $80 in total while the small boy's clothes are $8."

I was shocked at how cheap the clothes were, but I guess it was understandable since they were motel clothes, and the motel's fee was cheap too. I was also very glad that I brought money with me on the trip even though I didn't know if I would need it. Jake would try to pay once he knew that I had ordered the clothes for us, but I wouldn't let him when he has already paid for our stay here.

"Okay, bring one girl clothes with one guy's clothes to room fifteen then two guy clothes to room sixteen and one girl clothes with the small boy's clothes to room seventeen."

"Alright, Ma'am. They will be brought up in a few minutes."

"Okay." I replied and took the phone away from my ear then placed it on the receiver, hanging up.

I heard the bathroom's door open and looked towards it to see Jake walking out. Standing up, I walked towards the bathroom. He looked at me in question as he asked, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"

I stopped in front of him since he was still standing beside the bathroom's door. "The receptionist, I ordered clothes for us all since we didn't pack or even think that we will stay stay overnight."

He smiled as he replied, "That's very reasonable of you, Max."

"I know. I'll go freshen up now." I said as I walked the rest of the way to the bathroom.

"Okay, don't take too long 'cause I'll miss you." He said and I could hear the teasing tone in his voice.

I chuckled as I looked back at him to see him giving me a teasing smile. Looking back to the bathroom's door, I opened it. I walked in and closed the door. The bathroom was small as expected for a motel. A shower with a glass encasing around it with a toilet beside it, a sink opposite it with a mirror on top of it.

I made my way to the sink to wash my face. Twisting the head of the faucet, I placed my hands under the tap as water gushed out. I gathered some water and splashed it on my face before looking up at the mirror. My curly, dark hair was looking more frizzy than usual and there were bags under my eyes. I sighed, I looked tired.

Being a werewolf wouldn't guarantee that you stay perfect unlike the myths we hear about vampires. I switched off the faucet and made my way to the toilet to do my business.

After I was done doing my business in the bathroom, I opened the door and walked out. I pulled the door closed behind me and made my way to the bed where I saw Jake sitting as he went through his phone. He looked up when he heard me close the bathroom's door.

"Hey, you're done." He said as he flashed a smile at me.

"Yeah, I am."

He stood up and grabbed the white blanket on the bed and I looked at him, feeling confused. "What are you doing?"

He looked at me with raised eyebrows, "Our sleeping arrangements. I'm taking the blanket to sleep on it on the floor."

"Yeah, let's do it that way. Though you have behaved yourself since we entered this room."

His lips lifted up into a coy smile as he said, "What? I always behave myself."

"Not really, and I have to say that I am quite surprised that you haven't tried to get closer since we learnt that we are mates."

He strode towards me and stopped in front of me, "Hmm, you sound so disappointed, baby doll. Maybe you don't really want me to behave myself."

I laughed and watched as he dropped the blanket on the ground beside our legs. "Maybe I don't."

He placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer to him until our bodies were pressed against each other and our faces were inches apart. His hot breaths fell on my lips and I felt my heart beating faster at our close proximity. I could feel my wolf getting excited inside me because we were getting closer to our mates.

I felt the need to have him take me, have him mark me as his and be one with him in every way. His gaze fell on my lips before moving to my eyes as he murmured, "I don't either."

My own gaze fell to his lips and I crashed my lips against his as I wrapped my arms around his neck. We started a heated make our session as we pressed closer to each other. But knocking on the door pulled us apart. He pulled back as I stepped back, and we both stared at each other as we breathed heavily from our make out session.

I could see desire and love pooling in his hazel eyes. I was sure that the emotions in my eyes mirrored his. Knocking came again on the door and we both turned our heads to it. That was when I remembered the clothes that I ordered. "I'll get it."

I said as I made my way to the door. I pulled it open to see a male worker holding two white bags. He smiled at me, though this was a genuine smile and not a fake one like the receptionist's smile. "Hello, Ma'am. You ordered clothes for room fifteen."

"Yes, let me get the payment for the six clothes."

"Alright." He replied, and I turned around to walk back into the room, but I crashed into Jake's chest.

He placed his hands on my arms and steadied me, "Whoa, careful, baby doll."

"Thanks." I replied, and went to move past him, but his hands on my arms held me back.

"Wait, I'll pay for the clothes." He said just as I had predicted that he would.

"No, you already paid for our stay here. Besides, the clothes are cheap."

"Well, too bad, I've already got my wallet with me." He said as he took his hands from my arms and walked past me to the door.

I looked at him with wide eyes in shock that he was so insistent on paying and taking care of me. That only made realized that he didn't want me to worry about things like that because he wanted to take care of me. I smiled as I watched him ask the worker the amount for the clothes.

"How much for the six pair of clothes?"

"That would be $88, Sir." I heard the male worker reply.

Jake brought out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a $100 bill. The guy took it from him then brought out some change from his pocket. He collected it with the two white bags then closed the door. He turned around and walked towards me. I walked towards the bed as he walked with me to it.

He opened the bags and checked them then passed one to me. "Here."

"Thanks for paying, but you don't need to pay for everything all the time." I said as I took the bag from his.

A small smile touched his lips, "I know, but I want to, Max. You're my mate and I love you, so I want to take care of you all the time."

I felt my lips widen into a smile, "I know, but I'm not so fragile."

He chuckled, "Believe me, I know that you're far from fragile, my independent woman."

I laughed, "Okay, but you do know that that heated make out will be the only thing that you'll get tonight, right?"

He gave out an exaggerated sigh as he said, "I know even though I want more of you."

His gaze bored into my eyes as he added, "I want to mark you, Max. My wolf is getting restless with the need to have you as mine, and I feel the same way."

I smiled as I looked back into his eyes, "I feel the same way too, and as I have said, you'll get the chance to mark me soon, but we have wait for being intimate."

"That's fine with me as long as it's what you want, baby doll." He replied as he moved his gaze to the bag in his hands. "I'll just put this away and get to sleep."

"Okay." I replied as I saw him walk to the dresser and place the bag on it as he started pulling out the clothes to check them.

I turned to my own bag in my hands and pulled the clothes out to see what they brought me, hoping that it was wearable for me. The shirt was first and it was ash in color with a plain design and short sleeves. I sighed in relief because at least I could wear it. I picked up the jeans next and saw that they were blue skinny jeans.

Skinny jeans weren't so comfortable, although, I wore them sometimes, but I guess that it will do. I pushed the clothes back in the bag and placed it on the floor beside the bed.
