10 - Best Friend

¦Seraphina¦

We went back first to my hotel room to drop off the things I bought earlier when we were out on our exploration walk. There is no time to freshen up because we were out there for some time, and we just were not able to track our time. I guess that will happen when you are having fun. I could think of other fun things that involve our mate naked with us being naked, probably riding that stallion of his. My wolf chimed in. God, why is she like that? Her statement-making me blush.

Seeing a tinge of red in my cheeks, Sebby was about to ask me what was happening, and all I could do was project what my horny wolf just said. It made his eyes widen in surprise, and he tried to cough, hiding his laughter at what my wolf said she would rather do at this time.

"I am not against what she wants to do, and I will let you ride this soon." He whispered huskily to me while grabbing my hands and putting them at his erection for effect. Fuck that-- will that even fit where it should go? Ok, Sera, no need to go to the gutter. You are about to meet up with your best friend, and she does not need to have a whiff of your sexually frustrated self during dinner.

Even trying to jump the bones of his brother in front of her. Shit, how should we go about telling her our predicament? Since we got older, I know how Mandy would tell her brother that her friends are off-limits, especially me. She would understand. Hopefully, we are mates, and she could not or would not do a thing to separate us, would she?

I guess Sebby could pick up my emotional turmoil, whispering sweet nothings to me to calm me. It did work for all its purpose.

"Let us go, before the amazona of a woman I call my sister goes into a hunting spree, knocking everyone on her path just to see you are safe and all." His little comment on his very own sister made me giggle. We went our way to the said place we would have our dinner. Here goes to the start of a never-ending question Mandy would think of just to put me in the limelight and to make Sebby uncomfortable, probably piss him off a bit.

I am still enjoying my walk with my mate when I see the signage for the place we will be meeting Mandy;* sigh* I guess here goes nothing.

Entering the restaurant, the person on the front asked us about our reservation, telling her it was under Mandy's name.

She escorted us to our table. Before we were visible or reached our table, Sebby said he needed to use the bathroom.

I told him to mind link or called or asked someone for our table. He said he is not a child anymore and could navigate or locate where we will be.

I just stuck my tongue out to him, and he just chuckled at me. The hostess and I continued to our destination.

Finally, able to see Mandy, I just raised my hand in recognition of her maniacally waving of hands. I internally facepalm myself, only Mandy, yup I do not know how, why am I friends with her.

I salute her mate for his never-ending patience for my best friend, all the power for him.

"Hey, and here I thought you would be with someone." wiggling her eyebrows. Oh, the interrogation is already starting. I am not even sitting just yet.

"Nice of you to ask me how I am doing; that is, I am doing just fine. I am sitting properly now, about to look at the menu," answering her a little bit sarcastically with a matching grin at the end.

"Oh, stop it you, I know you are fine, basing it on your aura, soooooo..."

"Yes, I am with someone. He just went to the bathroom, and you probably scared his ass off." holding my laugh at the face that contorted on her face.

"Take that back, Pia, I do not, and I repeat, I don't scare anyone." pointing the finger at me.

"Well, babe, you do scare some if not a lot of people." the witty comeback from her very own mate.

All Mandy did was glare at her mate, and Elijah's response raised his hands in defeat. Sebby chose this moment to grace us with his presence.

"Hey, E." fist-bumping him. "Hey, Amazonian of a sister." greeting his sister, and I have to laugh at that.

"Yeah, laugh it off, Pia. What the hell are you even doing here, brother?" her eyes are full of curiosity.

"Well, I did owe you and your mate a dinner. I did a rain check on you guys last night and all." shrugging and taking a seat beside me, putting his arm at the backrest of my seat casually.

"Well, for this dinner, I did invite my BEST FRIEND and not my brother."

"Ouch, that hurt, sis." putting his hand on his chest where his heart is, feigning hurt.

"Ok, ok, stop it, you two, I for one am hungry. And yes, M, I did invite your brother.... to... tonight." blushing because the arm that was resting at my backrest now lay on my thigh, squeezing a bit.

I could see the smirk that just appeared on his face. Well, two could play this game, game on Garcia, game on.

I waited for the perfect moment, and that is when he will be telling the server his order—my wolf snicker at my plan to get back at our mate.

"And here I thought you came with your mate, and I felt you met him and was on mate cloud nine, you know."

"Well, I did meet him, and I will introduce him to you, do not worry, but for now, let us order." scanning the menu for what I feel like eating.

Looking at Sebby through my peripheral, he looks relaxed, and he would not know what hit him.

Prepare yourself, you may be my mate, but me being me, I play dirty from time to time.
