What if I Am?

*Noel*

"No way... Your teacher reported you for sniffing her hair...?". Jenny giggled at my revelation which eventually turned into a burst of full-blown laughter.

"I didn't know it offended her and besides I was 10!" I laughingly defended myself. I felt so relieved knowing that she didn't mind the sniffing at all. I have to thank Olive for suggesting the 'mannerism' thing. As a wolf, I don't really cover for any of my actions, it is what it is. Though this time, I need to slowly introduce myself to Jenny. She wouldn't understand the ways of our kind since she is a human. Thankfully Olive is working with humans for that bureau work she has. She gave me pointers earlier before I head out to meet with Jenny and her friend. Lucky enough, Ebony gave me an opportunity to be alone with Jenny. She also texted me and says to thank her later, but she also warned me that if her friend comes home sad, she'll beat the crap out of me. What a good friend, I thanked the goddess that she blessed my mate with a friend like her.

Now here we are, having dinner at a nearby restaurant. Her smile tonight is a bit different, I don't exactly know why but her being happy with me is all that matters.

"Here are your orders.". A waitress brought our food, though I think that's not the only thing she brought. She was obviously sliding way too close to me, giving me a full view of her intentionally lowered blouse with a peak of her bosom. Such a bold move for a woman. "Is there anything else that I can get ye?". She specifically turned and asked me, along with a wink. Well, too bad for her, I only have eyes for one woman.

"No, we're good.". I answered without looking at her, my eyes were focused on my mate. Jenny looked at me a bit confused but maintained a smiling face. The waitress just said, "M'kay, please enjoy the meal.". I didn't reply and kept staring at Jenny who said a small thank you to the waitress.

Jenny made a knowing look at me and commented, "Wow. She'll definitely 'love' it if you sniff her.". I chuckled and grinned at her, "That won't happen, I don't like her.".

"Sure, you don't.".

"I only like you.".

I think she wasn't expecting me to say that. Her cheeks made an obvious pink shade and she briefly bit her lower lip. "S-shut up and eat your stake!". Look at her cute reaction. God, I wished she didn't do that, now my wolf is going crazy inside my mind. It makes me want to kiss her right here, right now.

All was going great when I smelled a familiar scent, not one that needs my utmost attention but I saw the sudden change of atmosphere on Jenny's face. It must be someone she knew but not with fond memories. And then I hear a familiar voice, "Well, look who it is.". I looked up and saw the guy who was with Jenny and Ebony the first time I saw them, what was his name again...?. "Am I interrupting you two?".

"What're you doing here?" Jenny asked him hesitantly. She obviously is avoiding eye contact with him but still, she chose to be polite.

"C'mon Jen, to eat of course! I just happened to see a beautiful you with... Oh, wait...? Are you two on a date? Did I just ruin your dinner?". What an obnoxious person, what is he trying to do?. "I'm sorry, I'm just going to leave now then...". I thought he was leaving us alone but then he 'accidentally' bumped on our table, knocking down our liquids. I had ordered some wine earlier and now, our glasses spilled all over us. Thanks to my wolf reflexes, I managed to avoid the spill but Jenny ain't fast enough. The wine had stained her work dress and she looked miserable. My wolf is getting angry, no one has the right to mess with our mate.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry. Here, let me help you clean up.". He said while getting closer to Jenny. Of course, I didn't let him. I covered Jenny with my biker jacket and held her closer to me. Looking at her, humiliation was all over her face. It's a look that I don't want to see on her beautiful face. I gave the guy a stare and sternly said, "No need, I'll take care of her.".

"What...? Are you serious? What are you? Her boyfriend...?". This bastard...

"So what if I am?". Hmph, that jealous stare is perfect for his eyes. I guess it was a great blow to his ego that he couldn't even speak. The restaurant manager then came running to our spot, "What is happening here?".

"Sorry about the mess..." I said to the manager, "Some 'idiot' bumped into our table and spilled everything on the floor. My date's dress got ruined, too.". I then handed him a calling card which surprised him, "Call my office and send the bill there, please included all necessary damages.".

"Oh my gosh, a black calling card...".

"Aren't those only for executives...?".

"A black card! Only huge companies are qualified for that!".

I smirked at the few whispers that are heard in the air. I took a glance at the bastard and he seemed stunned at the whispers. Hmph, that's right, better know who're you dealing with first before trying to do something so stupid.

"Y-yes, Mr. Locke, right away sir!" The manager said while I slowly guide Jenny out of the restaurant. But before we made an exit, I looked back and told the manager, "Oh, and please serve and add to the bill a bottle of wine for that man over there.". I used my head to point at the bastard who ruined our dinner and whose face is currently unpaintable, "He's going to need it.".
