Chapter 13 - The Kitchenette

NATHAN

"How dare Finn!" My voice showed on Olly's face that it could bring down the room which was exactly what I was looking forward to. "He needs to stay away from her! Talk to him!" 

"Me? How would he even know I know? He would know we've been talking and ask about every other thing, I just can't." 

I hissed, clearly annoyed at any form of sense she was trying to make although I knew she was not wrong. "Frankly, I don't care how you did it. Just make sure he stays away from her else it will be trouble for him, big one. I don't make empty threats and he knows it."

"Why though?" Olly asked. "Why stay away from the girl? Who is she? Why do you care so much about who is talking to her or not? She's just a girl and a low life at that so what is the problem? If she's not talking to you, it's fine, you are better than you are. I am all the more surprised Finn is the one talking to her instead and I wonder why." 

I hit my hands against the pillow, the anger slowly increasing inside me at the number of senses Olly was making at that point. "No! Do not question me. Do not question what I feel is right or wrong, no. Tell Finn what I said you should and do it before the end of today." 

"What? No, that's not possible. Is not better for you to talk to him yourself since you are directly concerned with the issue. I honestly do not appreciate being in between, especially in matters like this." 

"Olly, please. Finn is your mate, you are supposed to know how to talk to him better and with sense. He is supposed to listen to you, that's what mates do." 

I hissed at the whole thing. Never before had I been so annoyed considering that I hated going back and forth especially on issues like this. I didn't want to talk to Jasmine because of how dirty and smelly she was but anyone close to her as well did not sit well with me and that was exactly how I was going to have it. I wanted no one close to her if it was not me.

"Please, leave." I faced Olly. I wanted to be alone and her presence in the room was honestly starting to only irritate me instead. "Leave, Olly. I honestly think it's best you do before I act in a way that I would regret towards you." 

She stared at me in disbelief before eventually getting up, calculating her steps and watching me in the process as if I was going to tell her to wait behind but not today, not the day that it felt as though my world was shattering.

"As a matter of fact, I need to get a cup of juice downstairs. I'll go with you to be sure that you actually leave." 

"Whatever." She dismissed me and walked out, myself just following behind her closely. 

She tried to hold my hands to console me but each time, I didn't have to open my mouth before she got the memo that we were not inside my room and she could not not do as she pleased. Besides, I was not exactly in the mood for it as well. 

"Quite surprising that you are both coming from the bedroom Chambers." We both turned our heads to see Finn seated in the corner of the kitchenette, munching on a cupcake, one of his favorite things to do when he had a lot on his mind.

"No, there's nothing. I went upstairs to use the library and he was on his way down at the same time I was so we walked down together. Right, Nathan?" Olly said. 

I nodded although Finn did not see but I could care less. On the other hand, I was hoping Finn would find out what was going on between myself and his partner so their relationship could end but I knew that would mean worse for me so I shut up about what the situation was actually about. Instead, it would have gladdened me to see their partnership come to ruins after what he was currently doing with Jasmine. 

I had not given myself much thought as to why I cared so much about her and why Finn being friends with her made me worry when it was to make me glad that they were friends since he was my best friend but there was something about her that drew me in that wasn't reciprocated on her end. 

It was torture to see that I was falling for her and she did not reciprocate it with her wolf and neither did Adam acknowledge if what I was feeling was right. 

I was in a dilemma and it was worse to see that Finn was in the middle of it, destroying what I had not even started building. It hurt more to see Jasmine friendly with Finn while she barely wanted to see me around. 

Before I could control myself, I hissed out loud causing the two heads in the room with me to turn towards me, Finn only for a few seconds before he went back to his cupcake. 

"Why did you need Nathan to confirm it? I asked a simple question and all you needed to do was reply." Finn faced Olly. 

Olly stared back confused. "I was…no, I only." 

I knew it was none of my business and it was never going to be. I poured my cup of juice and left the kitchenette. I had enough drama going on in my life I knew I would honestly prefer not to add to it. 

My father was going to call again in a few days and I had to answer him as to why I had introduced a mate to him yet. That was enough to think about and more than enough.
