His Human Mate

Chapter 6

Lola

The ride to the hotel was quiet Dean was on his phone the whole way. I sat there fidgeting with the strap to my clutch my lip and cheek had a small throb feeling and my head was starting to hurt,

Feeling the car slow down making the turn into the hotel parking lot.

Looking out I could see people everywhere the line of cars waiting to pull up and stopping to let people out even the press was here snapping pictures of whoever was getting out of the car,

Dean put his phone away looking at me.

"Make sure you smile keep this side of your face away from the camera,"

He says while reaching out and running his thumb over my lip. I flinch a little my lip was sore and the pressure from his thumb hurt.

The car stopped Dean open the door and stepped out he held his hand out for me I place my hand in his as he helped me out. Dean placed my hand in the crock of his arm.

Dean walked forward leading toward to entrance it was hard not tripping as the flashes from the cameras were blinding me. As we reached the entrance I saw men standing there I could see the shirt had A security logo on it.

Walking in we were stopped by another guy holding a clipboard.

"Name please," He said without looking up.

"Excuse me?" Dean says

This caused the guy to look up at us he looked at Dean and then at me his eyes lingering on my lip I know by now it was more swollen than when we left as the throbbing has picked up.

He places back at Dean,

"Name,"

"You must be stupid as you don't seem to know who I am," Dean growls at him.

"I don't care who you are, but you won't get past me if you don't give me your name," The guy holds Dean's stare not backing down, I noticed people were waiting behind us watching what was taking place. I know this won't look good for Dean if he is seen arguing,

"Carter!" I quickly say causing them to look at me.

"Dean Cater," I say again the guy looks down at his clipboard he writes something down then steps aside.

"Please enjoy the evening," He says holding his hand out for us to pass by.

Dean doesn't say anything as he begins to walk pulling me along with him.

Once we walk in he took me straight to our table.

"I need to make rounds and speak with people,"

"Okay, " I quickly say still feeling a bit nervous I didn't want to say anything to get him mad again.

"Let's go Let me do the talking don't want to draw attention to your lip,"

We begin to make our way around the room first stopping at his boss and his wife both looked at me I know they noticed my lip and cheek but didn't say anything,

We were halfway around the room when I heard my name I quickly looked over and see Ava coming my way.

When she stopped in front of me she instantly noticed, She looked from me to Dean I could see in her eyes she was ready to launch at him.

"Ava Hi, I didn't realize you were coming,"

"My brother asked me to accompany him,"

"Oh Um okay, Well Ava this is my husband Dean, Dean this is Dr. Ava, "

Introducing them Dean held his hand out to her.

"Pleasure to me you Ava,"

She looked from his hand to me I gave her a look pleading with her not to say anything,

She reached out taking his hand.

"Pleasure, to finally meet you, Lola talks about you a lot,"

"Oh does she now," Dean says while letting go and placing an arm around my waist,

"Yes, she does."

Dean pinches my waist just a bit and I go still sucking in a shallow breath.

"Well, and that something,"

I can tell by his voice he's not happy.

"Dean dear could you excuse me for a moment I need the lady's room, please,"

He looks at me then back to Ava, it is clear he knows she doesn't like him and I'm pretty sure he feels the same about her, seeing as she hasn't stopped glaring at him.

He leans in close to my ear.

"Make it quick and you better keep your mouth shut," He pinches my side again causing me to gasp just a little.

"Yes, Dean,"

He lets go and I step forward Ava turns walking with me.

"Lola," She calls me but I don't say anything I keep walking.

"Lola slow down,"

I turn the corner and see the sign for the restroom I pushed the door open walking in with Ava right on my heels.

"Lola she grabs my arm stopping me and making me turn to face her.

"Lola, what happens? "

"Nothing Ava, " I say stepping back from her I face the mirror. s**t, the bruise was starting to show through my makeup.

" Lola im not stupid I know you got hit, but what I don't know is why,"

" It was an accident Ava he didn't mean it I started it,"

I start to apply more makeup to my cheek causing me to hiss a little.

"Let me," She says holding her hands out to me.

She takes the small container and begins to apply it this time it didn't hurt she had a soft touch.

"Lola, please I don't like seeing you like this please talk to me,"

I sniffle a bit as much as I wanted to explain and cry and tell someone I knew I didn't dare.

"Not now Ava, I can't now,"

"Alright,"

She continued to do my makeup when she finished. "There that is better,"

I look in the mirror and see she has covered the bruise,

"Not much I can't do for the lip other than give you a cold paper towel to help with the swelling,"

"It's okay this is better Thank you, Ava,"

"Sure, "

"I have to get back out there Dean likes me to be with him at these events,"

"Alright, I'm gonna go check in with my brother ill see you later,"

I simply nod at her we walk out she went to find her brother as I went to find Dean.

I looked all over but couldn't find him.

Bumping into someone I look up to see

Mr. Anderson.

"Oh, Mr. Anderson I'm so sorry,"

"It's okay, I'm assuming you are looking for Dean?"

"Ah yes I am would you happen to see where he went?"

"He stepped out on the balcony for some fresh air," He pointed to the big double doors.

"Thank you," I say walking towards the doors

Stepping through the doorway I instantly heard giggling I look to my right and my heart stopped the air sucked out of me I was frozen in my spot,

There was Dean he has Chloe pressed against the wall with his lips locked on hers in a very heavy heated kiss.
