I woke up and squeezed my eyes, I was still in the car and we were unfortunately still driving. I turned to my right and there was Lucas, still driving. He gave me a smile but I rolled my eyes and looked out of the window. "Are you hungry Natalia?" Lucas asked, I knew how hard he was trying to make conversation with me.
"Actually I am, can we stop off at Nandos and eat there? I love that place." I said smiling at Lucas.
He looked a bit taken back with my sudden mood change but then again, so was I but he happily agreed. 10 minutes later we were at a Nandos and I jumped out glad to have the opportunity to stretch my legs. Lucas offered me his hand but I kindly refused, I felt bad afterwards seeing his pain in his eyes. I quickly shook away the feeling. What the hell was happening to me?
My wolf was laughing at my expense and my inability to stop feeling for my mate. I mean, he was insanely good looking with his black hair and he looked casual with jeans and a tightly fitting top which showed off his amazing muscles and his eyes were so intriguing, I couldn't help but stare.
"Are you done checking me out Natalia, not that I'm complaining of course but we really need to get inside now." Lucas' voice was full of amusement.
Colour rose up my cheeks and I started to walk fast but Lucas pulled me back, I gasped at the sparks that I felt when he touched me. My wolf was thoroughly enjoying the way Lucas was touching us whereas I was trying but failing to get out of his grasp. I was now right by Lucas' side with his arm around my waist. This feeling was all so new to me that I didn't know what to feel. It felt so right, my wolf was telling me to enjoy it while my mind was telling me to stop, and I was not meant to be falling for him.
Mae came running up to me, hand in hand with Tristan of course. I smiled when I saw my best friend; at least there was one person here who would keep me sane. Of course, my wolf had to ruin that thought by putting in how Mae would want to spend most of her time with her mate like any normal female wolf would. I swear that your wolf is meant to be on the same side as you but my wolf makes it her mission to go against me and ruin every thought or dream I have.
We walked into Nandos and I felt eyes all female glaring at me with jealousy and its then that I realised that it was because of my mate, Lucas. Rolling my eyes at their jealousy, I took a seat and was followed by Lucas, Mae and Tristian. I opened the menu but closed it straight after, knowing what I would order. As you had to go up and order, I said that Mae & I have been here countless number of times. Lucas being the gentleman gave Mae a $50 note using his Alpha tone so she couldn't refuse. I gave Lucas a dirty glare before storming off with Mae behind me.
As we were ordering, the server whose name was Austin got tired and failed to flirt with both me and Mae, and we were both laughing through our mind links to each other. Once we had ordered and paid, I took the receipt only to realise that there was Austin's number on it. I held in my laughter and showed Mae, she shook her head and I could see her trying to hold in her laughter.
We sat down at the table and I saw Mae purposely lean her head on Tristian's shoulder, I on the other hand took one look at the receipt and ripped it up. I know it was mean but I didn't really want to lie to Lucas. My amazing wolf then butted in saying that I did but wasn't accepting it and the only person I was lying to was myself. When the food finally arrived, the waitress' name was Hannah.
Before coming over, she adjusted her top, so that her breasts were popping out of her uniform. Both myself and Mae noticed this and raised our eyebrows. Hannah came over and gave both Mae and I our food first, she then leant right over Mae to give Tristian his food and in the process showing her boobs to Tristian. Mae's eyes darkened quickly and Tristian noticed this and before Mae could do anything he kissed her on the cheek and her eyes went back to their lovely vibrant green colour.
Hannah looked pissed that she had been blown off. Although she had been blown off once I thought it was still brave of her to lean over me and give Lucas his food while showing him her boobs. I didn't react thinking that Lucas wouldn't look. However when Mae gave me a look, I looked to see Lucas actually staring at them.
Hannah looked pleased but all I could see, mainly thanks to my wolf, was anger. She kept growling in my head to beat her and take her away so Lucas stopped looking at her.
I tried to restrain myself and my wolf, but it wasn't working. I felt my claws coming out and a little growl left my mouth. Lucas pretended not to notice, Hannah wouldn't have been able to help it and Tristian and Mae shifted uncomfortably on their seats.
Before I could even think about what I was doing, I picked up my drink and poured it all over Hannah and pushed her away. My wolf was growling and begging me to beat her up. Mae and Tristian quickly got up followed by Lucas.
"Urgh, bitch what the hell? It's not my fault that your man is interested in these, I mean who could blame him." Hannah said, shrugging her shoulders.
I have never been this angry in my life but right now all I was seeing was red. I was about to throw a punch when Lucas pulled me back. Most of my anger vanished but there was still some which was aimed at him. He whispered in my ear," Now, now Natalia. We don't want to cause a scene here." He had a hint of amusement in his voice.
I pushed him away and went back to my seat. I saw Lucas apologising to the manager and Hannah. Tristian and Mae ate in silence as did I. Lucas joined us soon after but I didn't even acknowledge his presence. We left straight after we had eaten and I went and sat in the front of the car in silence.
Lucas got in the driver's side and started the engine. He tried to say something but I butted in before, "If you don't say anything the better. Right now you aren't in my good books." I said, venom and probably jealousy laced my voice.
What was happening to me? Why was I so jealous? I am trying not to fall for him but it's going the opposite for me. I am falling and falling bad for Lucas. I don't want to but I can't help it. The way I got so angry and jealous today at Nandos was proof of that and I know that Lucas did that deliberately and the way I acted would show him that I do have feelings for him.
Sighing, I put in my headphones and started my music. I stared out the window and watched the scenery rush past me which made me feel relaxed and helped me to forget about my problems, temporarily.
