“Where’s he going?”
I ask, staring at the place where Mike just was.
“He’s irritated, has been for a few days. He’ll get over it soon enough.”
Robbie says.
“Easy for you to say. You’re not usually on the receiving end of him being pissed off.”
Tyler looks like he might be sick.
“You okay?”
I whisper to him.
He leans into my ear. “Yeah, I will be. The last couple of days have been exhausting.”
He lowers his voice to barely above a whisper. “She’s been extra busy.”
He looks me dead in the eyes and it clicks. He’s in pain from his mate.
My breath catches. “Does she know you’ve been hanging out with me? Is that why?”
I whisper back before climbing in the truck.
“Yeah, but I don’t know if it’s her or him that wants to hurt me more.”
He looks sad, I wish I could stop it for him. No one deserves that kind of pain. He crawls in the driver’s seat, I slide into the center and Robbie slides in next to me. “Do you really have to provoke him like that?”
Tyler doesn’t look at Robbie with the accusation.
“He would do the same if the situation was reversed and you know it. He can suck my d*ck for all I care. Yours too for that matter.
We drove in silence after that. We have a couple hours to kill before we have to be at the rec center so we go to the coffee shop and grab something small to snack on and an extra large coffee for me and Tyler. Robbie settles with a normal person sized coffee, you know for people who get regular amounts of sleep, and we all avoid the situation that we left at the bonfire sight.
The weather has turned for the better pretty consistently the last couple of days. The rain has been crazy though, so like many students we have taken the opportunity to walk around and enjoy the sun while it is out.
“Are you really going to stick around and take classes over the summer?”
Robbie asks out of the blue.
“Not you too. Listen, Tyler already made fun of me for considering it, but what else would I do? I have to work and we don’t have any big travel plans. We might visit some of the cities we hit up on our way here. We made a few friends and Mina wants to check in with them before we continue here or move on to somewhere else. There are no definite plans.
“Are you guys planning on coming back here though?”
Robbie sounds concerned.
“I don’t know. It’s not really up to me. I can realistically go to school anywhere. Mina is on a tour to try and find her mate. That’s why we came here in the first place. So I am at the mercy of what she and Nickolas want to do.”
I shrug.
“You two and your mate fixation.”
Robbie grumbles. “Why are you so stuck on finding them?
“Why are you so against the idea?”
I turned his question on him. I understand Tyler’s issue. He still deals with it on a daily basis. And apparently I am a reason for his current suffering. Even though there are zero romantic feelings towards him, I kind of wish I knew who she was so I could punch her in the face.
With that thought, Tyler grunts next to me and I turn quickly. He tries to play it off but I heard him and he knows I heard him. “Hey, would it be better if you sat down or to keep moving?”
I don’t even try to keep my voice down. I don’t care who can hear me. This b*tch is f*cking this Alpha wannabe to make him hurt on purpose.
“Not much that really helps.”
He takes a deep breath in and lets it out slowly. I take his hand and we keep walking at a slower pace.
