MDM - Mate

Phobia (Boyxboy) Part 6

I hummed quietly to myself while I listened to a couple of the songs on Drew’s iPhone which he had said I could use whenever he wanted, unfortunately I was so immersed in my thoughts I didn’t notice someone had come into the room until they squealed as the threw themselves on me – literally.

Luckily I had moved from the beanbag in Drew’s room and made a dramatic dive onto the floor which was less than 3 inches from my face, yeah...  Bella’s face popped up from the beanbag with a pout as she pushed herself up so she could sit properly. “That wasn’t very nice, why’d you move?” She whined sadly while I just gawked at her in disbelief.

She was the one who tried to leap onto me like lily pad yet I was the one being rude simply because I wasn’t willing to sacrifice breaking my bones or rather my ribs. Yep, her brothers were right – this girl was insane. She giggled and threw her skinny arms around my neck suddenly, surprising me and popping the earphones out of my ears and stopping the flow of the music.

“We’re going shopping!” She declared, squeezing the life out of my neck. I gasped for air while she began chatting excitedly about clothes and shoes, before finally letting go of me to clap her hands in glee. “I can’t wait!”

I frowned and said, “But why do I need to go with you, not that I don’t want to or anything but I kinda thought I had my own clothes and all I need is for them to be brought over from the home and it’s not like there is anything wrong with most of them-“

She slapped her hand over my mouth to cur of my nervous babbling and smiled at me brightly instead. “Because I said so, and my brother said he doesn’t want ‘no mate of his’ having to wear anything from a place like that, he wants to spoil you basically and when he asked if anyone wanted to take you shopping for new clothes, I immediately offered, after all, I need to spend more time with my new BFF and future brother-in-law right?”

I couldn’t believe this guy! He was so ridiculously and unnecessarily sweet with both his words and his actions, he spent way too much time money and effort on a guy like me, and it just didn’t make sense really. But the least I could do for now was shut up and deal with it.

She left me to go change into ‘mall clothes’ as she put it and in less than five minutes I was out of that door and being led towards our transport...a limousine. Now I was just expecting these weird surprises to come out at me at any moment so I wasn’t as shocked, more flustered if anything.

We made it to the mall quickly and I had to literally beg her not to park in a place where everyone can see us and instead drop us off at least a block away from the mall. We hadn’t even made it to the mall and were still walking when Bella unexpectedly disappeared from beside me and into a huge sweet shop.

I sighed but my mouth couldn’t help but drool a little at all the sugary treats on display on the windows, it all looked so tempting.

I looked around the huge shop but couldn’t find her anyway so I decided to explore and hopefully find her along the way, maybe even buying a few of the most tastiest looking things her along the way...what? It’s not like buying something could do any harm right?

I wondered around the aisle just staring at the sweets and licking my lips before I found something that seemed to call for me, I walked slowly up to it – mesmerised – and I could’ve sworn it was even glowing. It was a large chocolate coated teddy bear with edible glitter and jewels decorating it, an assortment of all kinds of small sweets inside, it held a candy cane in its hand and was wearing a hat made of toffee.

I must have it.

I reached out for it as the time as someone else’s hand reached for it and bumped mine, making me recoil instantly at the same time as the other person. I looked beside me to see a short boy who seemed to be less than my 5 foot height which was shocking. I had never met anyone who was shorter than me but around the same age.

The boy had brown scruffy looking hair and thick black glasses that framed his heart shaped face, small pink lips and big blue eyes that looked so big and innocent I felt like kidnapping him and taking him home with me. Wow, now I know how Drew felt when he saw me I guess, though this little guy is undeniable better looking.

“Err...” He mumbled shyly, fiddling with his fingers a little but looking up at me innocently, so innocently it made my heart melt a little and maybe the bears chocolate too.  Luckily for him he was interrupted by Bella suddenly popping out of nowhere yet again and standing behind him with a lollipop in her mouth and bulging pockets full of sweets, some chewing gum in her hand which I assume she was going to have next.

He jumped backwards and his head bumped against the shelf a little from fright, hurting his head and squeaking in distress. For some reasons I glared at her in anger and felt like shoving her against the wall and seeing how she liked it, which was crazy considering the fact that it had been an accident and she didn’t mean to hurt him.

But one look at her face and I knew something was wrong.

Her eyes look like they had sunken into her face that had turned snowy white, he irises dilated and turning slowly into a pinkish colour. I knew I had to get her home but she wouldn’t budge when I tried to grab her and hide her from prying eyes. Softly, ever so softly, she murmured to me,” WE need to take him with us...”

Without a second thought I grabbed onto his arm – which sent a weird tingly sensation through me – and managed to drag them both out of here despite Bella’s stoniness and his protests at being taken away by someone he had met a minute ago over a sweet. I pushed into the limo that was waiting for our departure and told the driver I needed to get to Drew’s house instantly, there was no need to explain things or repeat myself as he could see what was happening.

Also he had been their personal driver for years so he knew all about them and apparently about what was happening now too because he was there in a split second. I literally flew out of there with the other two still attached to me hands but the small boy was too enchanted by the house to even utter a word at his kidnapping. In fact he hadn’t said a word since he spotted the limousine. Drew appeared at the top of the stairs at the same time that I had burst through the doors and looked at me annoyed. “What’s with all the noise-“ He cut himself off when his eyes landed on the small boy after seeing his sisters light pink eyes.

“What’s going on?” I cried, desperate to know why he had his sister had gone into this weird trance over a boy that we had just met. Bella’s eyes rapidly cleared away to its usual green at my question and she looked at me solemnly. “Remember when I told you I had a sixth sense of telling who someone is and things?” I nodded

“Well, that boy is the mate of Drew....and you.”
