Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 21

Days had passed and I hadn't seen him, but he did leave me a bracelet with a note telling me to never remove it. (Not even while I showered) It was the first thing that he'd ever given me, so I wasn't taking it off and it was cute and gold. (I'm not superficial but it looks expensive)

I was working more since I hadn't been and also because I needed to take my mind off of him. I stayed later then normal, no matter how much Nelson and Maggie tried to get me to go home early. I even made up jobs to do, like helping the janitors or going through files that I had already combed through.

I rarely ever went home and when I did, it was just to workout, bathe and sleep. Nelson and Maggie also kept trying to talk me into leaving, but I kept putting it off because I really didn't want to leave in case Dean needed me.

I had already lost both of my parents, and I didn't want to lose my mate too. He wants me to trust and believe in his plan and I want to so bad. Areta never had anything to say, she still only reminded me when we needed to train.

"Hey pretty lady!" sings Maggie when I answer my front door. "Hey guys, what's going on,?" "Well since you're not leaving on your own, we're here to help you pack," "You need to at least go for a week to make him sweat a little" says Nelson with a smirk.

"Yep, he will keep dragging his feet if he sees that all he has to do is to give you a little smile and you get weak in the knees," she says as she goes to my room, heading over to my dresser drawer to pull out my undies, while he goes to my closet and pulls out dresses.

"Oh my!" "So many colors to choose from," he say as he sifts through them. "I can't believe you guys are forcing me to go on a vacation," I laugh. "It's for your own good" he says as he grabs two of my suitcases down out of my closet.

"You know what?" "Why not pack light and buy a whole new wardrobe from Italy?" he says as he stuffs a few things inside. "That's a great idea!" says Maggie. "I guess, but you know I'm not style savvy" "Yes you are and you can't go wrong in Italy'' he says as he looks through my shoes.

"Give me a minute guys" I say when someone rings the doorbell. "We're on a mission!" laughs Maggie as I hurry to the door. "Hey baby" says Dean as he hugs me. "Oh, hi Dean," I say nervously, as I hug him back.

I haven't seen him and he just happened to come when my friends are packing my bags. "What's wrong?" he asks probably noticing my nervousness. "Nothing, just hanging with Nelson and Maggie'' "Ugh, they're here,?" "Yes, in my room"

He walks back towards my room when they start chanting. ''We're going on a trip, we're going on a trip!'' (Why guys?!) (They aren't even going!) I panic as I follow close behind him.

"What's going on here?!" he asks as they toss around my clothes. "Well if you must know, my girl is going on a trip to Italy!" "Nelson," I say as I nervously look at Dean whose eyes are darker. "You're leaving, and what do you mean your girl!?" he says to me and then he glares at Nelson.

"Only for a short while Dean," I say as I grab his hand, so that he doesn't flip. "When were you going to tell me,?" "It was just decided today" "She needs a breather" says Maggie as she adds more clothes into one of my suitcases.

"Get out, both of you!" "You aren't going anywhere, Deni!" he says as he grabs my arm. "Who are you, to tell her where she's going,?" asks Nelson as he looks at Dean's hold on me. "Nelson please," I say as I touch his shoulder. "Don't touch him!" yells Dean as he pulls me into a hug.

"I'm just trying to calm you both so that you don't fight again," ''Yeah, because as hot as that would be, some things would definitely get broken,'' says Maggie. I roll my eyes and I walk with them to my front door after I carefully peel my arm out of Deans grip.
