My Mate

Chapter Twelve

Hope 

This past month Zayn and I have been spending as much time as we can together. He picks me up from school sometimes and we both have been spending a lot more time at the pack house. He has a very dominating and possessive side that causes us to fight a little more than most mates do but mom says that will all go away once I turn eighteen. 

I have been trying to avoid conversation with Gavin at school but he wouldn't take a hint. He kept on asking me out until I finally told him I have a boyfriend. 

For the past week Zayn has been away on business and even though he calls me every night, I miss him. I've been keeping busy with school work and my friends. I have also been spending more time with his family. Matt and Kyle are actually so cool to hang out with, we all went out to dinner twice this week away from the pack house. I learned that Kyle and Matt are just as eager as Emily to find their mates. Zayn's birthday is coming soon so I've been thinking of surprising him, I just haven't figured out how.

Today is Friday and classes are dragging on forever. At lunch time I head out of my class and Jason is waiting for me. "Hey, where have you been stranger?" I groan 

"I know it feels like I haven't seen you in forever" We head to the cafeteria and Emily and Derek are waiting for us to get our lunch.

"We're sitting outside today the weather is warm and nice." Emily says. We head to the doors that lead out to the football field and April, Eric,and Amy are already there. Jason tells us that the football team is having a party at the beach on Sunday 

"Why not on Saturday?" Emily asks 

"Who cares anyway there's going to a bonfire and all the hot babes" Derek says she rolls her eyes at him.

 "So Hope I hope you can come with us we really miss you coming out with us." Amy says. I look at her then glace around at my friends, it's like they're all waiting for my answer. I miss hanging out with them too... so what if I go out with them.

 "Yea, I really miss you guys, I'm definitely going" I say. 

Just then Gavin walks over, "Hey Hope" I look up at him taking a bite from my sandwich 

"Hi" he smiles at me " We're having a bonfire on Sunday you should come...he pauses a bit, "you can bring your boyfriend" 

"Umm he's out of town but I'll come with them" I say

 "Ok cool I'll see you all there" 

 As soon as he walks away Jason says, "He's so lame, like we need an invite... asshole" They all laugh

 "You guys stop it if we're going to the party I don't want trouble. He was just being nice" 

 "Hope, he wants you" Eric says 

 "I told him I have a mate...well boyfriend"

 "I don't think he cares" Derek says while eating.

 After school Emily drops me off and of course my bodyguard followed us home. 

"Let's meet for dinner" she says

 "ok I'll come up" I answer her. 

Mom and dad are in the living room "Hey princess, are you hungry?" Dad asks 

"Hi, I had lunch at school." I kiss them both

 "I made your favorite cake" Mom says 

"mmm ok I'll have a piece" I say rushing towards the kitchen. Mom laughs then hands me a plate with a big piece of chocolate fudge cake. Dad walks over and takes a big piece too, we sit down together talking about school then dad goes back to the pack house. 

After a while I go up to my room and do all my assignments for next week then take a shower. When I get out I put body lotion all over then my panties and T.shirt. When I check my phone I have a missed call from Zayn just as I'm about to call him back my phone rings 

"Hello" I answer quickly.

 "Why didn't you answer my call?" 

"I was in the shower...how's your day so far" I ask him. 

"It's about to get a lot better" He says and I'm left wondering what he means. 

"What are you doing now?" He asks. 

 "Nothing, I miss you." I whine.

 "So when I come back how are you going to show me you missed me?" He asks, and I can practically see his smirk. 

"Umm I'll kiss you" I say.

 "Do you promise?" He asks, I hear my bedroom open I turn around and Zayn is right there

"I missed you baby" He says and I jump in his arms and he picks me up hugging me tight. 

He nuzzles into my neck and takes a deep breath "Heaven", He says and my heart melts.

 "You're back!"

 "Yea and you have a promise to keep" He says with his million dollar smirk on his face. 

I stand on the tips of my toes he chuckles then puts his hands on my face bends down and kisses me. I felt every part of my body ignite with his lips on mine. I could feel his emotions and his need through our kiss and I couldn't help but moan into his mouth, his hands go all the way down to my ass and he squeezes. 

Oh my goddess I'm only wearing panties and a T. Shirt! I break our kiss panting 

"I'm taking you out tonight, be ready at 7:30" I already told your parents you won't be back till Sunday morning. 

"We're not coming back tonight?", I ask a bit shocked.

 "No, we're not pack what you need but don't worry I'll take you to pick up whatever you want."
