Anything but ordinary

Chapter 11

I hate that I love you

Ryder

A few days have passed since we visited Ariel. Back at the hotel, I told everything to Matt and Eric. That Ariel knows what we are and she is more or less aware of this Mate connection adding that I asked her some time.

*Flashback*

 - Are you completely out of your mind?! - Eric screamed. - You found your Mate she is incredible in every possible way you want her and still you act like a p***y! You are not worthy of being an Alpha! - We had a fight at that point and I ended up breaking Eric's hand.

- I will be your Alpha with or without Luna show some bloody respect! Take him from my sight! - Matthew helped to Eric and we spent these past days apart. They gave me some space before I break something else.

*--------------*

I was still writing the song I started the night I met Ariel, it was almost done. I knocked on the guys' door. Eric opened it.

- Sorry man – I said with a sleepless smile.

- Me too. You were right I should give you respect even though we are friends. - We hugged each other.

- I need your help, both of yours.

- Have you decided? - Eric asked with little fear in his eyes. Matt appeared next to him and they were waiting.

- Yes, I will tell her how I decided tonight and I need you to study this song. - I haven't shown the lyrics to them. Matthew played on bass guitar, Eric had the drums, and I the lyrics and electric guitar.

- Okay let’s do it! - Eric got excited as if we hadn’t played together for an eternity and it felt like that. Matthew was staring at me and said.

- I hope you won't regret your decision.

- Me to my friend. - In the evening I called Ariel.

* Hi Ariel!

* Hello Ryder. How are you? You sound a little tired.

* I'm, the last few days were intense.

* What can I help you with? -Her voice was dry and sad. My wolf whined...

* I would like you to come tonight to the STORY if you are not working.

* I am working tonight but after that, we can hang out.

*Okay what time will your shift end?

* Around 10 pm.

* Great see you there.

* Bye.

" - Our mate is very sad... I could hear it." – My wolf said.

- Me too I just don't know why.

-"Probably she lied about the bond".- I was thinking about what my wolf said. If she lied about our Mate bond and she felt it too, she is stronger than I ever imagined my future Luna will be. I was practicing a little more and we went to STORY to arrange everything with the owner.

- She will be so surprised! - Eric was almost as excited as I. Neither he nor Matt knew what I want to tell Ariel in the lyrics.

- Calm a little Eric. Maybe Ryder will dump her with style.

- No way! He would not be preparing something to humiliate her!

- Remember to Sarah's birthday.

- Oh shit... A song about a smelly foot...

- Exactly!

- Thanks now you made me even more nervous. -I just smiled at them and gave thanks to the Moon Goddess to have such an amazing poker face. All night I was checking at Ariel while she worked. She is so pretty and cute. This will be harder than I thought. It was 10 pm already and tonight there was live music in STORY. The owner really liked the unknown bands so he allowed us to play my song. Ariel was sitting at the same spot where we first met.

 - Guys now or never! - We stand up on the stage. I grabbed the mic.

"Hello everyone! My name is Ryder and they are Mathew and Eric. We are here tonight to share very important information with a special girl. " - Ariel was looking at me with sadness while all the other girls were screaming how handsome we are. - " This is a very important thing so I would like to ask her to stay until the end of the song no matter what. - I looked at Ariel and she nodded. We started to play my song. - It is called “Not another song about love”! - Matthew and Eric got frightened and Ariel was devastated when she heard the title but she remain sat as agreed.

 “Let it out

Been building up you better let it out

Say everything that you've been meaning now

I want it to burn

When you tell me that I'm such a wreck

It isn't easy cleaning up your mess

It's like I've got a rope around my neck

She says it won't hurt “-Mathew mind-linked me.

“ - If I knew you are going to hurt her so much I wouldn't agree to help you!

- Wait for a little and keep playing! – I answered, he rolled his eyes but did as I said.

“But everything you do makes my heart race

I can't even think straight

Is this just a game to you?

Reruns every night

It's always the same fight

I think you should know

I hate your touch, I hate your mouth

I can't stand every single word that falls out

But you're all that I've been dreaming of

This is not another song about love - I stared at Ariel and I felt my wolf getting happy.

I hate your voice, I hate your lips, I hate how bad I wanna steal your kiss

But you're all that I've been dreaming of

This is not another song about love

Asphyxiated just to say the least – Ariel looked at me with a sad smile but kept listening. I got more excited to see her face by the end of the song.

And with your eyes you're suffocating me

Emptied my lungs, it's getting hard to breathe

You couldn't care less

But everything you do makes my heart race

I can't even think straight

Is this just a game to you?

Reruns every night

It's always the same fight

I think you should know

I hate your touch, I hate your mouth

I can't stand every single word that falls out

But you're all that I've been dreaming of

This is not another song about love”- Here Eric and Matthew both started to enjoy the song just like the rest of the place. Ariel was confused. - Oh Gosh she is even cuter when she is confused.

“I hate your voice, I hate your lips

I hate how bad I wanna steal your kiss -The crowd cheered!

But you're all that I've been dreaming of

This is not another song about love

The sky fades from blue to gray

Her touch is just like an ocean, still I'm drowning

How bad I wanna sink and let it take me away

I don't know why I come back

I do every time

We get close to the end

It's the finish line

Sing these words for the girl I've been dreaming of

Is this just another song about love?” -She finally smiled and her smile, dressed my heart in joy.

“Let it out

Been building up I better let it out

Say everything that I've been meaning now, dreaming 'bout

I mean it now, I need it now.- I slowly started to walk down the stage at this part of my song and walked through the crowd to her. Every other woman was jealous of my treasure.

“I need your touch, I have no doubt

I want your love until it all runs out

'Cause you're all that I've been dreaming of

Is this just another song about love?

I need your voice, I need your lips

I need you bad, I wanna steal your kiss” – I was basically on my knees in front of Ariel while I sang these lines.

“'Cause you're all that I've been dreaming of

This is just another song about

Another song about love…”

When the song ended everyone in the pub started to cheer and slowly went back to dance. I was now standing in front of this tiny human who completely rocked my world and I knew that I depend on her love from now on.

- So you hate my voice? - She smiled playfully while I bowed a little so she could wrap her arms around my neck.

- You know that I love every single detail of yours. It took me a lot of time and I'm really sorry that it took so long to realize that you are the only one.

- In that case. “I need you bad, I wanna steal your kiss, cause you are all that I've been dreaming of...” - She smiled and jumped in my arms. We shared a long deep kiss. We kissed like there was no tomorrow.

- I could just imagine how hard these days were for you, to get a clear idea of everything.

- It wasn't very bad I just started to listen to the animal in me who loved you unconditionally from the first moment we met.

- I love you both. - She kissed me again and it felt like watching thousands of fireworks.

-Are you ready to start your new life?

- I was born ready! - I chuckled at her. Compared to me I could've easily put her in my pockets.

- Great Roo, because we are heading home at the end of next week - I was holding her in my arms all the time we were talking.

- Roo? - She smirked and frowned her eyebrows.

- Yes because you can fit in my pocket. - She laughed and it made me laugh as well. Damn how much I loved her already, the thought that I almost let her go clenched my heart.
