Chapter 28 Agreed

"Well... This is awkward..." I trailed, not able to look at the person sitting in front of me. More like I wasn't able to look away from my food. My stomach grumbled at the sight. I'd been so hungry.

I still couldn't believe Dylan ditched me to handle this by myself.

"Honestly." Liam sighed, watching me stuff my mouth with fries. "Geez." he rolled his eyes, irritated by how I ate.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes, chewing, not embarrassed at all by how my cheeks popped up. I felt comfortable around Liam. I felt natural. I loved his aura but I couldn't imagine loving him as a mate.

I decided to stop wasting his time and bring up the topic. "Be honest with me and yourself. Do you want me as a mate?" I asked as soon as I gulped down my food, reaching for the juice immediately, feeling choked. I swallowed too much.
