CHAPTER 5*Not A Damsel in Distress*
1602 Words
The end of the week Drew near and so did my birthday, the neighboring packs visited for some sort of get together. According to my speculations it seem like a thing they do at the end of every month, they all gather around at the hosting pack, talk about stuffs I do not know about and on the 3rd day a simple feast they throw a party like that.
This time it was the turn of Diamond Crest pack to host the meeting/get together and this meant extra work for me and the omega's working in the pack house. And moments like this get me agitated to no end, because I'm bound to run around for three days non-stop.
Taking orders from these strangers because it is Alpha orders to tend to their every needs, disobeying would only get me in trouble with our alpha and here I was at the moment washing the bed sheets of this evil looking young Alpha who is an annoying neat freak. This being the fourth time today that they have called me upon by him to change and wash the previous bed sheet and covers.
My level of anger right now was beyond normal, I felt like killing someone. i just couldn't pinpoint what he does to the sheets that gets them dirty within 3 HOURS, the most annoying part is the fact that I can't seem to find one stain in all the sheets they told me to wash today, My muscles aches so bad I felt like Giving up. I wish Alpha had Assigned me to someone else instead of him.
That he Insists I hand wash these clothing materials is my primary cause of anguish and anger right now. I groaned Tiredly As I stood up from my sitting position to Stretch out my Cramped muscles. Stretching my legs and Hands As I sighed In Frustration Sitting down to continue the task Ahead.
"Hey"
I heard someone say walking into the Laundry room and I groaned inwardly. I ignored his Greetings as I invested all my Attentions into making sure the White sheet I am currently washing Sparkles. as if that was even possible.
" why are you washing those with your hands what happened to the machines?".
Brandon asks surprised standing in front of me as he gestured between me and the many Laundry machines in the laundry room. I attempted to raise my head and there he was staring at me in confusion, And I knew he was wondering if I had done this on my accord. I wasn't crazy to that extent.
'' Ask that to the Neat freak who has killed me before my time, ''
I replied removing the washed bed sheet from the soapy water and transferred it into a clean water, that wuss had insisted I washed the sheet sand covers thrice in different water before rinsing it clean.
''Hold on, you mean Jason gave you this to hand wash?''
He asks, squatting down to my level and I groan.
'' No Jason didn't, one of the young visiting Alphas did, now leave me Alone''
replied.
''A non pack member told you to wash all this, and you agreed to it, why didn't you just say no, this is too much of a hassle for you''
he commented in annoyance.
'' Maybe you missed the part where I said young Visiting Alpha, oh I forgot you're not a slave in the pack house to know that Alpha strictly gave orders to satisfy their every need, as you can see I agreed that's why I'm here washing all this. If you're done intruding in my business, please leave really I'm not in a good mood to exchange words with you right now''
I said, glaring at him intensely.
he sighed grabbing a nearby stool pulling the buckets of sheets I was currently washing to himself and he pushed the bucket with the clean water towards me rolling up his sleeves.
'' what are you trying to do, I told you not to disturb me''
I said, staring at him in confusion.
'' I'll wash the rest, while you rinse it, it would be easier and faster that way''
he responds, dipping his hands into the bucket.
'' What's your deal Brandon, I didn't ask for your help just go away''
I said in a lazy tone, not really having the strength to bicker with him.
'' lets say this is the second time I'm offering to help you without your approval, besides you sure need my help. You look tired and extremely exhausted, so just stop being an ass for today and accept it without complaints''
He shrugs washing the sheets, and I just stared at him not knowing what to make of his attitude. Why would he want to help, I'm sure he has something up his sleeves.
Maybe he wants something from and he is planning to blackmail me with this.
With a sign of refusal, I grab the buckets to pull back towards me
'' I am not a Damsel in distress, I can handle my problems myself so for the last time f**k off''
I snapped as he held onto my hands, preventing me from pulling the Bucket.
'' For Goddess’ sake Jared stop being a snappy b***h all the time and let me help, I don't know what you have against me, but your bitchy attitude won't stop me from being nice to you, just let go for once put down your guard for today and just let me do this after today you can go back to snapping at me every chance you get''
He snapped, freeing my hands off the bucket handle as he proceeded to washing the sheets and the covers.
My smart brain couldn't come up with a snarky remark as I bored holes into his head, my eyes moving with every movement he made with his hands, i didn't know what to feel, or how to feel. No has ever offered to help me involuntarily before, the few that offered help in the past always had something up their sleeves, they would come back a few days later asking me to help them with something more tedious and stressful using what they helped me with as leverage for me to do their task. They had fooled me a few times, and I learnt my lesson, ever since I always declined any offer either genuine or not.
Right now I couldn't help but wonder what he wants in return for this they always request for something in return. I sighed in defeat as I pulled the clean bucket of water to me and started rinsing one sheet he had put inside.
'' You didn't have to raise your voice at me''
I told him, and he sighed, raising his head to look at me.
'' I didn't mean to, I'm sorry I was just frustrated that you wouldn't let me help, when i can clearly sense the tiredness oozing off your body''
he replied, his voice strained and gentle, and I blinked my eyes repeatedly at how defeated he sounds.
'' I don't like being looked upon with pity''
i told him sincerely.
'' if anything you're not being pitied by me, trust me, I'm not one to show such emotions towards people. i have a friend and whenever I see you, I see a male version of her, I'm not implying that you look feminine, it's just the way you act and do things, your stubbornness and approach is like hers''
he replies, his voice now tender, and he looks on dreamily.
I faked a coughed
'' well as long as you aren't seeing me as the male version of your crush, I guess I'm fine with it''
I replied, raising my eyebrow. He stared at me for a minute before erupting in laughter.
'' what? (he laughs) no no, it's nothing like that, she isn't my crush just friends, best friends''
He replies, still laughing at me; I smiled at the way he squinted his eyes as he laughed on.
'' it's not funny. By the way, don't think this would make me stop snapping at you, we are not friends''
I replied, rinsing another sheet as I wriggled out the water.
he stopped laughing and smiled at me.
'' I'm not expecting you to halt, but the last part could............. ''
'' Don't. don't even think about it''
I said cutting off me.
'' But why, it doesn't sound like a bad idea'' he responds with a pout and I rolled my eyes.
'' it is a bad idea, Friends are a burden and they are unpredictable they can change from good to bad, I don't want that kind of stress in my life''
I told him, causing his pout to deepen.
'' But I'm different, I promise I won't ever change''
He says, pushing out his lips in an annoying pout. Why is he acting like an over pampered puppy suddenly?.
'' wipe that annoying pout off your face and it's a NO. we are never becoming friends''
I told him harshly and his face dropped.
'' I won't stop until you believe I won't be those friends, ''
He replies cheerfully, and I scoffed is he always this cheerful. if he is, it would be annoying.
''Good luck in your Quest I'll be glad to Disappoint you''
I said standing up as I took the sheets to the dryer, leaving him to sulk. And I smiled internally at his sulking face.
