Are You My Mate? (Denai) novel Chapter 9

I was so excited when lunch time came around. (Actually I kept going from excited to nervous) I was going to see Dean today and he was my mate. He wanted to see me, and he even insisted on seeing me today.

He also likes me, just as much as I like him, and he has always liked me. (I still can't believe my luck) I guess it's our luck since he wanted the same thing.

Nelson and Maggie shake their heads as I walk past her car, at least I try, because I know what they'll say. They've been mocking Dean all day, and I'm sure they still have lots of stuff to say. "What now guys?" "Nothing," says Nelson, but I know he wants to say something.

"If I were you, I'd skip town," laughs Maggie. "Guys you're still not done making jokes about him,?" "We may never be," she says as she shrugs. "But he's nice, the mean one is his mom" "Keep telling yourself that," "You and Alpha Lawrence are the only ones blind to him and our dear Luna," says Nelson.

"I've only ever seen him helping people" "Who, his parents or some little old lady crossing the street when he was a pup,?" asks Maggie, sounding a little too serious to just be joking. "I'm not trying to be mean, but go to an island somewhere and hide until he finds a chosen mate," "Then come back," "We'll keep in touch,"

I shake my head as I smile. "You guys are nutty" "We're serious Denai," says Nelson. "You are too good for that family," "Maybe I won't have to see her after we're mated'' "I thought about it, he can move into my house" "It's almost as big as his or we could buy another one"

"His mom will make you move in with them, and you'll be living in hell," says Maggie again serious. ''Guys I've liked him ever since we were pups, I at least want to try" "And I can't just ditch him, especially since he feels the same way about me,"

"We hung out so much when we were pups" "I remember us playing together all the time, but later I only visited during important dates and pack meetings" (Maybe that's when his mom started hating me) (What could have happened to make her hate me?)

"If you grew up together, then why isn't he as sweet as you,?" asks Maggie, again with her serious face. "He is, you just don't know him yet" I say realizing that I barely know him as well. I was too shy to really talk to him and he was always busy.

"Well just take things slow," says Nelson. I nod and then I give them both a hug, since they are both leaned up against her car.

"He's calling!" I squeal when my phone vibrates. Maggie rolls her eyes. "Take it real slow," says Nelson again, as I listen to where Dean wants to meet. I nod and smile as I hang up.

"He wants to take me to get something to eat, then we're going to watch a movie" "At the theater or in someone's living room,?" asks Nelson as if he's my dad. ''I don't know, but he did ask me out to the movies yesturday, so that must be where he wants to take me" ''Okay, keep us posted and take it slow," "Okay, okay," I say as I back away, then I hurry to my car, so that he doesn't end up waiting on me.
