The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

I spent the whole week at Kendrix’s house, he was barely at home as he was busy with his business, after that day that he stayed home from work, I didn’t see much of him, just saw him in passing when he left for work and sometimes late in the night when he comes back, I will hear him walk into his room, one thing I notice is no matter how late it was, he never slept out and also he left very early without even having breakfast, the man was a hard worker. It was just Raul and me in the house and all we did was play video games he asked a lot of questions too when he found out I was a doctor, he gain some weight too as I made sure ate properly, that was the little I could for Kendrix for housing me.

Raul was a lot more talkative and active than I thought, he was like most teenage boys and I was happy he was finally getting over his traumatic experience and putting it behind him, I know of course that the whole healing process would take a lot of time but I was just happy he had progressed and that I was involved in it a little way, today, I am meeting up with Rose, she already texted that she was on her way here.

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror before grabbing my bag, I got a text and without checking it, I knew who it was from, my dad’s personal assistant, he has called me a couple of times over the last few days and also sent texts and emails to me too, according to him, my dad was requesting for me to come and see him again, the audacity that they both have, I took my phone and deleted the text without even opening it, I have made up my mind and nothing my dad say would ever make me go back on my words, I am not giving to see him ever again.

“Are going somewhere?”

Raul asked when I got out of my room, I smiled at him and nodded, I should have told him before that I was going out, maybe he wants to play.

“Yes, remember my friend that I told you about?”

I asked and he nodded, I told him everything about Rose and me and her wedding too, I just didn’t tell him about the fitting today, in fact, if Rose had not reminded me last night I won’t have remembered.

“I told you she is getting married and I have to go with her to go get fitted for our dress today, she is already on her way here, you can come with us if you want, Rose won’t mind.”

I invited him even though I knew he would never say yes.

“No thank you, I am good, have fun,”

He said and we both turned towards the gate when we heard a car hunk.

“That’s my ride, want to come and say hi to my friend?”

I asked.

”No, I am good,”

He responded before running back into his room, I smiled and hurried down, I didn’t want to keep Rose waiting.

“Hey, best friend,”

She called getting out of the car when she saw me, she started running towards me and I did the same too.

”You are not supposed to be running young woman,”

I scolded her when I got to where she was right before I hugged her.

“I missed you so much Ariel, the only reason I didn’t come looking for you was because that would ruin my plan,”

she said.

“What plans are you talking about Rose?”

I asked as we broke the hug and I got into her car, I said hi to her driver who smiled back at me before I turned to Rose who had a mischievous smile on her face, I kind of got an idea what plans she was talking about just by looking at her smile like that.

“Do I even want to know what goes on in that head of yours? Not sure I want to, how have you been? How are the preparations so far? Sorry, I am not much of a help to you,”

I said as I settled in the car and dropped my bag on my lap, my phone binged again, my dad was really going at it, I ignored it and turned my attention to Rose, she looked a lot more stressed than she looked when we face time, I should do more for her, not like I had anything else to do.

“I can’t lie, preparing for a wedding is so stressful, yesterday, I tasted about twenty different flavors of cakes just to find the perfect one, the day before that, I had to smell a load of different flowers to be sure which I will like for the wedding, it gets even worse than that, maybe I made a mistake asking my mom and mother in law to let me handle this, I am messing everything up, I should have left everything to them,”

she complained, and I listened even though she had told me everything she just said when we face-timed.

“You are doing well Rose,”

I said. Patting her shoulders.

“Right, Jayden said so too, anyway, let’s talk about you,”

she said cheering up immediately, I shook my head knowing the direction our talk is about to take.

“I can’t believe you found a man and now you guys are living together and it is the sweetest man ever, not as sweet as my Jayden though,”

Rose said and I shook my head, there was no point trying to convince her nothing was going on with Ken and I and that nothing would happen because she was so into it already, there was no stopping her.

“We are going to get fitted remember?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

I informed trying to get her to change the topic, it always works when I bring up her wedding prep.

“Yes, that’s what we are going to do and while we are doing that, you need to tell me what you have been up to all week,”

Rose said in her usual excited voice, oh, she wasn’t backing down this time, it was better to just tell her now or she would nag me for the rest of the day. what I have been up to all week? Playing video games, I am sure she won’t believe me if I tell her that.

“I haven’t been up to much Rose, I played video games for most of the week and spent the other times either telling stories of what happened during med school or sleeping,”

I informed and she stared at me in disbelief.

“Oh, you guys are bonding over weird shit, not so bad but definitely not what I expected you guys to be doing but we will take it,”

“What are you even on about Rose, I didn’t do those things with Ken, I barely saw him, he is a busy man and has a business to run, do you really think he would have time to sit and have those kinds of talks and play video games,”

I asked laughing at her expression, if Raul wasn’t so shy about meeting new people, she would have met him.

“Then who have you been doing weird shits with woman?”

“Someone dear to Ken, his name is Raul, he is the reason I even know Ken, the kid we took to the hospital together the first day I arrived here,”

I informed.

“Oh, that’s so not what I expected.”

Rose said in a disappointed voice.
