Our Cute and Innocent Mate

"How are you and Duane?" Dos asked making me looked away from my phone and turn to him.

"We're fine. Why do you ask?"

I sat up and looked at the time. It was eleven in the evening and I was busy stalking Duane on his i********: which he doesn't have a lot of posts.

"Can't I ask? Duane's my friend and you're my best friend." Dos said and pulled the blanket up to his chin. "How was your heat? I always forget to ask you about it."

Dos and I don't have these kinds of awkward late-night conversations before. We usually have our own world around this time, either playing mobile games or scrolling through the net.

"Like I will tell you." I laid back down.

"I am only curious. I haven't met someone who underwent heat before. I never thought my best friend would."

"Heat is heat when we were taught before. Nothing is interesting to know about it."

There is no way I would tell Dos about it. What would I say anyway? That I couldn't control my desire to be one with Duane? That the trash bin was full of those nasty things!?

Over my dead sexy body.

Dos chuckled.

"Go to sleep, Curtis and please don't jerk off."

"f**k you, Dos."

I closed my eyes and all I could think was Duane and those times when I was in heat. I groaned and I wanted to kick Dos so hard for making me recall everything.

I woke up when my phone rang.

I cursed as I reached the top of the drawer and answered the call without checking who the caller was. I was pretty sure it was Duane because no one ever calls me.

"Wake up." Duane said at the other line and I couldn't help a smile creeping on from my lips.

"Hmm." I sleepily hummed and closed my eyes again.

"Curtis, I know you haven't opened your eyes. Get up and prepare for school."

"I will. Keep talking." I groaned and doze off from Duane's voice.

"Sweet bun, wake up." Duane said sweetly and I snapped my eyes wide open hearing him calling me what!?

Sweet bun!?

"What the hell, Duane?" I sat up and I heard him laughing from the other line.

"Good, you're awake." Duane said and I ended the call and saw Duane's messages saying good morning then I heard Dos' phone rang and he sleepily reached for it and answered with his eyes closed.

"Hmm?"

"Not awake yet?" I heard Jean's sweet voice from the other line.

"Not yet. How are you going to wake me up, hmm?"

I rolled my eyes at Dos and wanting to kick him for teasing Jean.

"Then how come you're talking to me right now? Wake up, okay? I'll hang up now."

I couldn't help but chuckle as I went to the bathroom first to wash after sending Duane a message.

Sweet bun your ass.,|,.

Class was boring. I went with the other guys during lunch because Dos ditched me with Jean to eat in the dorm. I saw Harry, Jean's friend, eating alone so I called for him to join our table. We weren't that close and I think I never had a conversation with him but he was Jean and Dos' friend, so he's also my friend.

I thought Harry would refuse but he walked towards our table and joined us. I introduced him to my friend at the table and he nodded at them.

"They ditched us huh." I bitterly chuckled.

"Yeah." Harry said and started eating his lunch quietly.

I have a lot of questions to ask Harry but I guess we're not that close yet so I closed my mouth and attend to my lunch.

I was glad that class was over. Dos and I bolted out of the classroom. Duane wanted to have dinner with me so I was quite happy and I feel so excited to see him.

"I won't be sleeping in the dorm tonight." Dos said and I eyed him suspiciously.

Dos only smiled and winked at me before he sprints towards Jean's last class. I walked out of the building and saw Duane's car parked outside. I honestly want to run towards him but I don't want him to think that I was so excited to see him.

I don't submit that easily.

I saw Duane went out from the driver's seat. I bit my lip from smiling at him but my controlled smile turned sour when I saw a girl went out from the passenger seat. My blood boiled seeing her taking my seat. That was my exclusive seat, for the goddess sake! She dared to touch her ass in my seat!!

I could smell that she was also a were and she gave me a proud smirk when our eyes met making me frown.

Duane smiled at me and he opened the passenger seat for me as I watched her went inside the back seat.

"Curtis, this is Chesca. My cousin on my mother's side." Duane introduced when he took a seat on the driver's. "Ches, this is Curtis, my mate."

Chesca smiled at me and I pulled a fake smile. Something in her was saying that she was faking it too.

"Nice to meet you, Curtis. Duane just couldn't keep his mouth shut about Curtis this and Curtis that that I grew tired of hearing your name." She chuckled.

"Same. Funny that Duane never talks to me about you." I said, looking behind the front seat and she gave me a sour smile.

Duane chuckled and Chesca hit him on his shoulder. "You meanie."

I frowned at Duane and he just shrugged as he started the car.

This girl named Chesca just came home last week from another state and she keeps on blabbing about her school and how she behaves like a good girl there.

I seriously wanted to grab the duck take in the compartment and tape her mouth from talking about how she and Duane grew up together and goddess, they even promised to marry each other when they grow older.

Isn't that mother f*****g hilarious because I am his mate and he is marrying someone else!?

Funny.

Funnyyyyy.

I don't know why I was so pissed the first time I saw her. Maybe because she threw that bitchy glance at me and I kind of understood it well. She looks like she was possessive of Duane before and I guess it never changes.

I scoffed and turned to the window, getting tired of listening to Chesca. Anyway, she was only looking at Duane in the rearview mirror like an in love puppy at its owner. It was out of my business.

I felt a warm hand on top of my own that was resting on my thigh making me turn to Duane. Dammit. It just made my heart skipped a beat and I suddenly felt better with just him doing that.

"Oh, Duane. Your hand looks big now. We used to compare our palms like this." Chesca leaned closer to the front seats and pulled Duane's hand that was on top of mine and she placed their palms together.

I was seeing black when she did that and I accidentally lift my arm and hit her jaw.
