A Mistake Mate novel Chapter 50

But today was his something else. I try to get him to open up to me but he refuses to and as his defense he says hurtful things.

I sighed and glanced yet again at the clock on the wall, five more minutes of this dreadful class and I can go home. After our fight I had taken a minute to go back to class and when I did it was already half way over, I then proceeded to suffer through my last two classes.

When the bell finally rang I was the first one out of the door. I didn't even stop at my locker because I was so eager to get home. Xander had brought me to school this morning so I was going to have to ask Seth for a ride.

I entered the parking lot and scanned my eyes around the space, looking for my two friends, and cursed when I noticed that their car was nowhere to be found. With a sigh I walked towards the left side of the parking lot, where the entrance to the forest was, and prepared myself for the long walk home.

I had just stepped foot onto the dirt covered forest floor when my name was called out behind me. I quickly turned around and frowned when I saw who it was. Xander stood about ten feet away from me and let me tell you something, he looked like crap.

His dark hair was crazily sticking up on his head, his clothes were wrinkled, his cheeks looked red and his eyes tiredly dropped. My frown deepened and I slowly took a step towards him.

I was still hurt by what he had said and a little bit angry but Xander looked really upset right now, which is funny because I'm the one who should look like that.

I was still taking small, cautious steps towards him and apparently that bothered him because the next thing I knew Xander was rushing towards me at an inhuman speed. He quickly closed the space between us, gripped my waist firmly, and planted his lips on mine proceeding to kiss me senseless.

My mind was reeling, confusion was all I felt, hadn't he just been angry with me no more then two hours ago? But I couldn't help myself and I soon gave in by wrapping my arms around his neck and tangling my fingers in his hair. I slightly tugged and smiled when he groaned. When we were both running out of breath he pulled away and kissed down my neck, to my mark.

I searched Xander's eyes, looking for any trace of a lie, but there was none. He was simply staring back at me with such honest eyes that I felt my own tear up. My mate meant what he had just said with his whole heart.

My sight became blurry and I felt my hands begin to shake. I never knew that this would have such an effect on me.

"I love you so much, so much that it hurts. I love you with every bone in my body, I just love you. I love the way you blush when your embarrassed and the way your nose scrunches up when your confused. I love the way you talk in your sleep and the way you look when your angry. I love the dimples that appear when you smile, the twinkle in your eyes when your amused and the way you look at me, I love that the most. I love you Paisley, I love every little thing about you."

As he spoke Xander took small, slow steps towards me but I hardly noticed because the tears that were flowing out of my eyes made it nearly impossible to see. It crossed my mind, for a moment, that I probably cry more then I should but that thought quickly disappeared when I noticed that Xander was stood right in front of me.
