"Here comes my birthday boy!", Aiana claps in glee, "I can't wait to hear am your helper".
"Gods forbid", I give her a disgusted look, "I rather get paired with an animal than you", I take a seat.
"Where are your bodyguards?", she looked behind me, "why aren't they here to help pull your chair out?", she gives me a curious look.
I shrug, "they must be really busy this morning" yeah, busy thinking about my strange attitude towards them, coupled with my supposed lack of a mark.
"so tell me", Meemee leans in closer , "who's your helper?"
"How sure are you he only have a helper?", Reddy asked as he sits on his chair beside me.
I froze when I felt the two; my body already attuned to them.
" Finally", Aiana claps, "I was just asking Buch about you two", she gives them a conspiratorial look, "I know he've already told you if not shown you his mark. Who's his helper? how big is his mark?".
Blondie's hands gripped the table tightly, " he haven't told us anything",
" he's too secretive about things", Reddy says.
" Tell me please", Aiana blinks her eyes at me, " you can trust me to keep your secrets".
I scoff.
As if I can trust her with something as huge as my mating mark?
I rather shout it out to the entire world and know am the one who told them, than the world knowing without me telling them, all because I confided in a girl whose mouth is too loose.
"Here, have some", Blondie adds more meat to my plate,
"You should have more vegetables", Reddy carefully places more on my plates.
"Don't they look cute?", Aiana asked Meemee as she dramatically wiped a tear from her eyes, "most times I think they're mates".
Her words made is freeze, Reddy with his hand towards my plate while I sat frozen on the chair am sitting on.
"Don't be foolish Aiana. Are you so dumb as not to know they've all found their other halves?", Meemee narrows her eyes at Aiana.
" See you later during lunch", I stood up, bolting for the door before Aiana can make any other comments relating to the two males who're now my mates.
Mates!
They're now my mates. I can't believe they're now my mates!
It was far more easier wishing they're my mates; reality sure sucks more than fantasy.
My fantasy stops at us being mates, but it didn't tell us how to go about our forbidden relationship.
"You have to take one step at a time", Kwofo will say, " enjoy your time now while you still have time; there's no time for unnecessary regrets", his words of advice this morning keeps ringing in my ears.
i turned to the mirror, ready to give myself a little sneak peak of my upper marks before I leave for class.
I slowly touched the hem of my shirt, intending to lift it up to view my beautiful marks( they're beautiful of course).
