It's Complicated

Chapter 3|BRETT

BRETT

I was placing the glass of whiskey and leaned my arm and side on the counter while looking at the crowd. Even though the music inside that bar was loud, I can still hear the voices of the crowds shouting as they talked and flirted with each other.

My attention was caught by a very hot woman approaching me. She was wearing a tube that's only covering her boobs part and a short pair of shorts, showing all those smooth white skin. She looked like she runs out of cloth to sew for her clothes.

My eyes never leave her eyes and neither was hers'. I traced the rim of the glass with my fingers as I watched her walked towards me. I flashed a smile at her and she leaned closer, raising her hand, she grabbed and pulled my silver necklace making me leaned closer to her and our lips almost touched when she didn't move her face to the side.

"I love that dimpled smile." She whispered making me laugh. "It's so sexy."

"Well, thank you." I said. Almost every woman and some men, either I that knew or not, always says that same thing. And it's not that surprising anymore.

She chuckled and smashed her red lips to mine. Of course, I kissed her back as I circled my free hand on her waist. She was the one to cut the kiss and chuckled as she looked at me and I know why. I bet I looked like a clown because her red lipstick was smudging on my lips like hers.

"Jessy." She said, introducing herself after wiping her lips.

"Brett." I said and she wiped my lips with her thumb making me smile.

It'll be another long night.

I kicked the covers the moment my eyes snapped open and sat on the bed. The first thing I saw was that I am alone and naked in the hotel room. Jessy was gone and I just shrugged as I walked to the bathroom and stood under the shower nozzle. The s*x last night was amazing, too bad she's gone.

I stepped out after and looked for towels but I can't find one on the racks making me frown.

"What kind of hotel is this?" I muttered.

I went outside the bathroom and searched those drawers and I realized my clothes were gone and worst, my wallet and phone were also gone.

"Fvck!" I growled.

Fvcking great!

That conniving b***h was a swindler! A con artist! A p********e! And a fvcking thief!

And it's not the first time that kind of things happened to me making me shook my head and sighed, raking my fingers on my damp hair. Damn! I never learned my lessons.

I walked to the telephone and called the room service for some towels and I felt glad that I already paid the hotel bills last night because I don't have a single fvcking penny!

After waiting for a few minutes, I heard a knock at the door making me felt relieved. I opened it and the woman who was bringing my towel I requested gasped with dilated eyes as she can't help but travel her eyes at me.

"Thank you." I said and closed the door, wrapping the towel on my waist since I was already dry because of the air condition. Then, I remember something and swung the door open again and called the room service woman who was already halfway to the elevator's direction. "Can you gave me a coin. . . for a pay phone." I said and he looked hesitant but gave me a coin anyway that she fished on the pocket of her pants.

"Thank you, dear." I said and I can see a glimpse of pink tinting her cheeks. "I'll pay you handsomely for this coin." I said and she smiled before turned her back and walked away.

I went out of the room with only a towel wrapped on my waist to the elevator and few of the human and staffs who saw me walking can't help but stop what they're doing and looked at me. I never cared what they're thinking.

When the elevator sounded, two humans, a man, and a woman, were already there and they were kinda surprised to see me with my outfit. And what's more, they're both interested in my body. I'm loving the look on their faces. Maybe it's not that bad to walk with a towel only, but it'll get me arrested for sure. So, no.

I pressed the GF button and watched the elevator door closed. I can feel the stares on my back until we reached the ground floor. I marched down to the front desk and they were stunned to see me in a towel.

I went to the nearest payphone that was inside the hotel and dialed Zach's number, my childhood friend, and informed where I was and to drag my ass out of this fvcking hotel.

It only took him a few long minutes to hear a knock on my room door and I can see him walking inside making me feel relieved.

"What the hell, Brett!" Zach cursed but laughed while pointing his forefinger at me as I stood and stared at him.

He's such a good friend, isn't he?

I just waited until he stopped laughing at me. He was wiping his tears and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"You done?" I squared my arms with my shoulders and he nodded before he tossed a brown paper bag at me.

"That was a good laugh." He said and I rolled my eyes and threw the towel on the bed without caring Zach's there and might be feasting on my nakedness. That's so gay, I know but we don't know what Zach wants.

I wore my clothes in front of Zach who just looked at me with a boring expression.

He's our pack's alpha's son and he has an identical twin brother named Jack. And it was their eighteenth birthday party last night at the bar and good luck for finding his mate. Because I haven't found mine for almost two years and it was cool because everyone I knew who found their mates became so crazy in love and they're acting funny.

And I'm so sure that even if I found my mate, I won't change.

I removed my tank top and sat on the plastic lounger at the poolside comfortably and picked my sunglasses placed at the small round table beside the long chair and wore it.

I invited my friends for a small get together at the house. I ditched school that day because I don't feel like learning that day. I don't like to see my prof's grumpy faces and my noisy classmates.

"Where's Zach?" Katherine said who sat on the other lounger beside mine.

"He doesn't feel like coming." I said and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin.

"Oh." She just said. Katherine is not a werewolf and so was Anton and the rest (namely Gwen, Todd, Greg, and Zach) were the same handsome species as me.

But they don't know what we are. They're just some friends that we met at the uni.

Todd turned the stereo on and Air Supply's Now and Forever sounded making me laughed out loud. He like—no, love old songs especially Air Supply.

"Todd!" Greg shouted and kicked him out of the media player and the music changed into Ed Sheeran's Shape of You and Gwen started dancing at the poolside and there's this little voice inside my mind that she'll slip at the edge of the pool and threw herself at the pool making me chuckled inside my head picturing her face.

I think I fell asleep for a few minutes when my eyes suddenly snapped open and it felt like I was inside an air-conditioned car, I mean the scent, that was mixed with a scented lavender scent. It was. . . nice.

I rolled my eyes inside the sunglasses and I only saw Gwen sitting on the pool, her feet dipped on the water. Todd swimming. Katherine laying on the other lounger and Greg and Anton was dead. I mean, they weren't there. Maybe they went inside, or something.

And I heard my younger brother cursed. Incoming.

The glass door flew opened and there, Bryan standing and my eyes were glued to the young boy which was maybe the same age as him standing and scanning the place.

There's no doubt that the nice scent that's invading my nose was him. And not to mention it was strong enough for my hand to shook as I refrained myself from jumping out of the lounger and maybe pull him away from Bryan.

I just had that though without knowing why.

I raised the sunglass to look clearly at him and our eyes met. And I knew now what it was.

My mate.

My mate for fvck's sake!

"Brett!" Bryan spit my name. What a brother. "What's this!?"

I removed my shades completely and looked at my brother. Isn't it obvious? "What do you think?" I said, bored and he narrowed his eyes at me. But I still can't take my attention to the other man.

"Did mom and dad know about this?" He asked and I shook my head and laid down on the chair again. I tried to calm my heart down and my wolf too. "Of course, they don't!" He said sarcastically.

"Hey, Bryan! Why won't you join us?" Todd said.

"Yeah." Gwen agreed.

"So, who's the boy?" Katherine said, finally! I've been meaning to ask that fvcking question! It's killing me inside to know who he was.

Maybe his classmate. A friend. Fvck!

"Chad." My mate said himself making me look at him and my wolf almost kicked in.

Chad. Fvck! No wonder those guys act funny when they saw their mates.

"Bryan's boyfriend." Chad said and I thought I was going to flip out of the lounger and kill myself by hitting my head on the fvcking floor.
