FIFTEEN
I was sitting in my office thinking about last night events with Olivia, trying to focus on some papers but I couldn't because she kept coming to my mind.
I didn't want to think about her like that, but when I kissed her, I felt electricity flow through me.
She tempted me in that short dress at the club that exposed her gorgeous breasts.
I still felt so angry about when she looked at me while grinding up against that random man in the club.
She was tempting me, she was a sweet temptation that I did not like having around.
I don't like the way she made me feel. My eyes drifted to the picture that was once sitting in my room, I looked at my mate in the photo, she was so beautiful.
I grabbed it continuing to look at her. What would she thing of me now? Me thinking about another woman.
My eyes adverted to the frame and I saw it glisten as the sun hit it through the window.
I still couldn't believe Olivia replaced the frame and I couldn't understand why she would do that after what I did to her.
I sat the picture back down on my desk and let a low sigh. Olivia was fucking with my head.
Knock knock knock
"Come in" I voiced.
I felt disappointed a little as I watched Jeremy walk in, hoping it might have been Olivia. Jeremy bowed his head and then looked at me, giving me a strange look. I raised my eyebrow at him, leaning back into my seat.
"Boss, no offense but you look like shit," he told me truthfully.
I believed him, my mind wouldn't shut off, I haven't been sleeping at all since Olivia caught my eye. Not being able to go on a run since my wolf was still gone was frustrating, I needed a good run to clear my mind but I was still wolf less, I wasn't sure my wolf would ever return.
"Did you need something, Jeremy?" I asked bluntly, rolling my eyes at his comment.
"Uh yeah, Ari is here to see you" he said.
I give him a small nod, "send her in" I said, dismissing him.
Not even a minute later Ari appeared, walking in and closing my office door behind her. She made her way over to the chair in front my desk, sitting down. She looked up at me and her face scrunched up.
"Are you sick? You look terrible" she questioned, raising her brow at me.
What is with Jeremy and Ari reminding me how fucking terrible I look today?
"Thanks" I said sarcastically, "what do you need, Ari?"
She rolled her eyes, "so.... I have a question" she said and I nodded for her to continue, "what happened other night at the club?"
"Why do you want to know?" I asked, my jaw tensing.
"Tyson, just answer my question. You almost beat a guy to death and dragged Olivia off to the restroom. What the hell happened?" She asked, annoyance clear in her voice.
"That's none of your business," I shrugged.
"Dammit, Tyson!" She yelled quietly before sighing, "Tyson, I'm not stupid.
.. you may think I am but I'm not. You literally put Olivia 'off limits'.
You punched the hell out of a guy for dancing with her, I watched the whole thing go down.
You were literally in the bathroom with her for ten minutes, you literally got bags under your eyes.
I was just trying to hear it from you first," I looked at her dumbfounded as she just told me she knew, I watched as her eyes softened looking at me, "Tyson, do you feel something for Olivia? "
I took a deep breath, "I don't know, Ari. She is definitely driving me crazy," I sigh looking down, "she is doing something to me, something I don't understand myself. It feels wrong when I think about her, Ari." I tell her truthfully.
"Because of Evelyn?" She asked softly, my eye snapping back up at her as she mentions my mates name. I give her a soft nod, sadness filling me, "Tyson, Evelyn would want you to be happy. She would want you to move on, to find someone who makes you happy again" she stated softly.
"Ari, what if she mind her mate? I can't even handle her dancing with another man or Austin asking her out. What the hell would I do if she found her mate and left me for him?" I asked my jaw clenching shut as I felt angry just thinking about it.
"I don't know, Tyson, I don't know what would happen. You both could cross that bridge when or if it ever came" she gave me a weak smile.
"Ari, I just can't," I sighed.
She stood up walking over to me and have embraced me in a hug. I hugged her back and she pulled away look at me with a soft smile.
"Tyson, I'm not gonna force you to try it, it's your decision, I just want you to be happy again" her words soft, I just nodded, "I am gonna go check on Olivia, I haven't been here the past couple of days. Don't worry our talk is safe with me."
I gave her a small smile and she turned leaving the room, closing the door behind me. I sighed in relief, glad that talk was over. I had to let it go, I needed to let her go.
'I am dropping the 'off limits' for Olivia Bennett till further notice' I mind linked the pack, making sure I blocked out her out and her parents once again.
That was something I have been dreading to do. I didn't want no one to touch her like I did, I didn't want no one to kiss her, I didn't want her with no one else. I started to become angry as I thought about someone else doing that with her, it angered me but she wasn't mine to worry about.
