First Real Boyfriend

CHAPTER 5- First real boyfriend
JASMINE’S P. O. V.
Training felt good. I am glad that eventually Hunter left. He was really cramping my flow. Especially when Nick started texting me. It was like he was jealous or something. Not that he ever would be. He is disgusted by me, there is no way he would be jealous that some other guy likes me. He is just pissed off, it’s a human. Plus I don’t listen to him.
Nick is so sweet. He was asking me things like my favorite color and song. Things to get to know me better. It is nice to have this with someone. We are really getting to know about each other. Of course I can’t tell him everything, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t know me pretty well. He sounds excited about the dance too. That is making me excited. I have never been excited for a dance in my life.
When I head up to my room all smelly, I run smack dab into Allison. “Why do you even bother? You don’t get any thinner.” The look on her face is clear, she thinks I am sludge. Nothing to respect or even care about.
Great, this again. “Whatever. Get a life Allison.” I breeze past her. She doesn’t need to be recognized any further than that.
She does stop me in my tracks with her next comment. “I am going to laugh when that hot ass guy you’re with drops you. I will make it my point to get him interested elsewhere.” She sounds like she is saying a joke and not a complete insult. I guess to her it is.
I turn and glare at her. “You don’t even like humans. You would really stoop that low to get on my bad side. You are aware that I will be your Alpha one day, right?”
“If you say anything about me, I will make a point to make sure everyone thinks you are just jealous of me. You won’t have any power over me.” She scoffs at me. Even flings her hair over her shoulder to make her point.
I think I just lost my temper. “You know what? I have been nice to you, but you are just an overall bitch. How about this? I will make a deal, I will let you do whatever you want to me for a month if you can take Nick from me. You have a time limit, if you can’t do it by my birthday, then you have to shut your mouth period.”
She gets an evil smile. “Deal. I will have him eating out of the palm of my hand.” She flips her hair and stalks off. She really likes her hair doesn’t she.
I just really hope that Nick really does like thick girls. I would hate to lose to Allison because he lied. I’ll deal with that later though.
UNKNOWN P. O. V.
I sit behind my desk in my new house. I had to make sure I was closer to her. My reports come in about her on a daily basis. My spy comes in and takes a seat. “She was seen training with the Beta today. There is a rumor going around the pack that she is dating a human. The Beta, her and another wolf had to report to the Alpha about it.”
“This human, what do you know of him?” I feel the anger flow in me again. A fucking human touching her. Kissing her. Mine.
“Nothing sir. Sorry, no one has said anything about him.”
“I want you to find out what you can about their relationship.”
“Sir, my mate. Is he safe?”
I roll my eyes. “Yes, he is safe. I told you that he would be as long as you did as you were told. Now I want more information on her.” Truthfully her mate is one of my loyal wolves, he doesn’t like that I am using his mate this way, but he understands the need.
“One last thing. There is a birthday celebration for her next Saturday. The Alpha is inviting wolves from all the surrounding packs. He wants to find her mate.”
I am her mate. I know it. He is wasting his time. “Fine dismissed.”
She scurries out of the office. I rein in my temper a little more. Soon, she will be mine and mine alone soon.
For now it is time to start putting my plan in motion.
JASMINE’S P. O. V.
The next morning after training I take a shower and get dressed. I wear a nice pair of capris that are kind of a tan color and a quarter sleeve shirt that is yellow. I slip on some black flats and think I am ready. I let my hair down today. Nick says he likes it best when it is down. Not that I am dressing for him. I just want to look good, looking good for him is a plus.
When I head down the stairs, I am greeted once again by Hunter. “Good morning.” I cringe waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it doesn’t, that was it.
Ok, not what I was expecting. “Good morning.” I kept walking. That was enough of a greeting right? We don’t need a whole conversation. I can’t help but notice that he is making an effort and this makes me feel bad about being cold to him. “I hope you slept well.” Now I sound like one of those therapists. I need to figure out something else to say. That sounded so stupid. Maybe it sounded too familiar.
“Not really, but I’ll live. Are you hanging out with that human today?” Now, I see the jerkface. We are back on familiar ground now.
“I think I only hang out with humans so that would be correct.” I flash him a smile and keep moving. I will say something that I will regret later if I don’t.
“You know he can never be your mate. A human can’t lead the pack. I don’t get why you are getting involved with him. It seems like a waste of time.” Not bossy at least. Still none of his business.
“I don’t really care about that. I know I won’t have a mate so I am enjoying myself for now. If that bothers you so bad, then I don’t know, change the way the whole pack sees me.” I shrug, I’m not really expecting him to care that much.
“What if I can only change the way one person sees you?” That is an odd question. His tone makes it even more confusing. Like he is talking about himself or something.
“Then let’s all hope it is the right person.” I step out to the front steps. I really hope Carlos gets here soon. I don’t want to continue this conversation, it seems too deep for the relationship that Hunter and I currently have. Even in the future we are supposed to work together, not personalize it.
Carlos is earlier today, Allison hasn’t even made it out yet. I go to take my usual seat but Carlos stops me, by putting his hand out. “Your father ordered that you have to sit in the back. Allison is to sit in the front.” Now, I am going to have some words with my dad. I get in the back seat next to Hunter, but there will still be plenty of space between us. I guess it won’t be so bad with the distance.
“How long did my father say I would have to sit back here?” Honestly I think I sound like a pouty princess right now. I know not Alpha material, I just really don’t want to sit back here.
“Indefinitely.” Perfect. I thump my back to the seat.
We spend an extra ten minutes waiting for Miss America. She comes out in the skimpiest outfit that I have ever seen her wear. Shorts that show part of her ass, a halter top that peeks her belly all the time. I am sure by the end of the day she will be dress coded. I don’t say anything though. I just roll my eyes. This is her attempt to steal away Nick. Let’s just hope he isn’t that shallow.
I stare out the window as we go. It’s not like anyone would want to talk to me anyway. At least not in the car.
“Jasmine, can you at least think about what I said about the human. He will be hurt in the long run if you don’t cut things off.” Now he sounds like my father. Hunter just needs to leave me alone and shut up.
I turn to look at him. “Like I said. It’s not like I have a mate that wants me. It will be fine. We will separate when we do.” I turn back to the window.
I don’t want to face the fact that Nick and I have no long term relationship. I can never let him know what I am. He can’t run the pack with me. Nick can never be a part of this world. All I can have with him is right now. It feels good. That is all I need. Not exactly a good attitude for an Alpha, but I’m not one yet. I can be a little selfish.
When we get to school the three of us clammer out of the SUV. I am glad to see Nick waiting by the gate. He sees me and straightens up to meet me. He looks good, he is wearing blue jeans that hug at his hips. He has a v neck long sleeve shirt that is a hunter green color. His dark hair combed back in a way that makes me want to run my fingers through it. “Hey, how is this beautiful girl this morning?”
“I have to say it is definitely getting better.” I smile up at him as he slides his arms around my waist, pulling me close.
Hunter comes up behind us and clears his throat. “Excuse me.” Like we were really in his way. Nick responds by pulling me closer so that Hunter can walk behind me.
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure she is out of your way from now on.” He winks at me. “Is he like your brother or something?” He asks me as Hunter passes.
I groan. “No, his dad and mine are friends. They seem to think that we should be friends too. We live close together. That’s why we ride together. Same with Allison. I kind of have a weird family.” I hug him a little tighter.
Allison takes this moment to make her appearance. She glides her hand along Nick’s back. “Hey, Nick, is this a new shirt?” She is using a seductive voice that makes me want to gag. Nick however doesn’t even spare her a glance.
“Could you please not touch me?” It’s worded like a question but it was clear it was a demand. “I am wearing this shirt because Jasmine said it is her favorite color.” He gleams down at me. This earns him a smile back. “I can see she is wearing my favorite color too.” He nuzzles close to me. Burrowing into my neck.
“Cute.” Allison says. Although her tone makes it clear she thinks it is anything but cute. “So, Nick, I was thinking, maybe you and I could go to the dance on Saturday. You know since you are new you might not have a date. I would be happy to keep you company.” She almost purrs out that last part.
“I have the best date at the dance.” He mumbles against my skin. Then pulls me away from Allison. She just stands there dumb founded. She thought that would work.
Honestly, I was a little surprised it didn’t, let’s face it a lot of guys would like to have Allison hanging all over them. She is like a bimbo barbie. Nick is just different. I am liking it. I wish there were some wolves like this. Nick walks us through campus arms wrapped around each other. Zoe finds us on the way to my first period class.
She sees us and starts jumping up and down. “So, cute.” Then she gets an angry look on her face. “I am going to kick your ass Jasmine. How dare you be dating a hotty like this and not tell your best friend.” She is scowling at me and pointing at Nick.
I grin at her. “It kind of just happened. Last period yesterday. I was too busy texting him to call you.”
She rolls her eyes at that. “Really, guys before besties. I thought better of you.” She shakes her head. Then she gets a big smile. “I will forgive you this time. Next time I will have to beat you down.” She nudges my shoulder as she comes up next to me. “You still coming over Friday?”
“Yeah, why wouldn’t I?” I look shocked at her. I mean I have never canceled on her before, no matter how much I would rather not go. Or have protested to her suggested outings.
“I didn’t know if your dad grounded you. I know how strict he is. If he found out about this hunk he might consider it.” She smiles at me.
“Actually I think he was considering it. He did ground me of sorts, but I can still go. I just have to do extra chores. He wasn’t really too happy about it.” I look down, I don’t want to see Nick’s face when he hears this news.
Nick stops and looks at me. “Your dad doesn’t want you to date me?” He sounds really worried. Like this is the deal breaker.
“Actually my dad really doesn’t want me to date anyone. I told you I have a weird family. He kind of has me married off already, he just wont tell me to whom until I turn eighteen.” I grimace at the answer. It is kind of the truth. Still a lie though. What a great way to start a relationship.
“You mean next week.” He grimaces at that.
“Yeah, I told him that I have final say though. He hasn’t exactly agreed. Also I have until the end of high school. So I am living my life how I want for now.” I try to reassure him.
“But what if I don’t want to let you go?” He squeezes tighter. That is the cutest thing ever.
“Like I said, I am working on it. I know it is the modern age and all, but my dad is stuck on our traditions. Hopefully the guy won’t want to marry me either. Then it will end all of that. He hasn’t been told either.”
Nick pauses, he seems deep in thought. “What if it is Hunter?” He almost sounds scared. Like I would ever want to be with that pig head.
“Then we have nothing to worry about. He definitely doesn’t want to marry me.” I smiled at him. “I don’t want to marry him that’s for sure.” We hear the bell ring overhead.
He pulls me closer and kisses me, I can feel the need from him. This was not a good way to start a relationship, but he gets that I don’t want it. Maybe there is something we can get through. We will know after my birthday how difficult this will be.
At snack break he came to meet me at my class. We only have fifteen minutes but it is nice to have a little break with him. He just keeps wrapping his arms around me and kissing me ever so nicely.
“I have P. E. with Hunter next, doesn’t that sound fun?” He gives me a goofy grin.
“Honestly I don’t see why you are so worried about Hunter. Come on, he could care less about me. He is probably glad I am seeing someone, that way he doesn’t feel saddled with me by our dads. They are always telling him that he needs to be more friendly with me. It is a genuine dislike.” I give him a look to say ‘this really is something that you don’t need to worry about’.
“I just get a feeling that he doesn’t like me. He seems to think badly of me and I can’t really put my finger on it.” He looks thoughtful.
“Whatever it is, it doesn’t have anything to do with me. I am sure it is because girls have gawked at you since you started and that makes you competition.” I shug as he parts with me to head to class. After a wonderful kiss.
