Mates with Alpha Maddox

Chapter 23: 23

I looked back towards where the guy was sprawled on the floor and some people were already helping him.

Maddox sits on a bench and starts taking his skates off, I do the same.

I am sorry we have to leave the skating rink so early but I really don't feel like going to jail for beating the shit out of some guy.

When we get to the car I ask "Where are we going?" I ask dumbly. Knowing we were most likely heading back home.

"I told you this was just the first part of our date, so our date is not over" he says with a smile.

I guess I was wrong...

"What are we going to do then?" I ask.

He doesn't say anything.

"Hey! Maddox! Don't ignore me!" I warn.

"Well if you are going to keep asking that then I will have to ignore you" he says making me sigh.

We drive for about 10 more minutes until we stop in front of a candy store.

I grin "Maddox Are we buying candy?" I Ask, feeling really over excited at the thought of eating something sweet. If you guys haven't figured it out the thing that always makes my day better is ice cream, I used to have a candy stash at Eli's house.

"Yes we are, now lets go Babe" he says and gets out of the truck.

As soon as i entered I loved the place, the door had a bell on top of it so every time someone opened the door the bells sounded, some of the walls were light blue while the others were light pink, the floor had glitter on it and all of the shelves were full of delicious and colorful candies, some I had never seen before. The first thing I do when we enter the store is go to a woman dressed as a gummy worm, from the scowl on her face I could guess she wasn't getting paid enough to wear that.

"Excuse me can you tell me where the bathrooms are?" I ask her with a polite smile. Her scowl didn't falter as she pointed to the back of the store.

"Thanks" I chirp and grab Maddox's arm and drag him towards the bathroom.

"Ummm, Jayda? What are you doing?" He asks wearily as I close the bathroom door.

I grab his hands and put them under the faucet then I hand him the hand soap.

"Wash your hands, you still have some of the guys dried blood on it and you don't know what diseases he has" I order.

"Are you serious right now?" Maddox asks with a laugh.

"Yes I am so hurry" I say with a small smile.

When his hands are finally clean we both exit the bathroom only to come face to face with an really cute and sweet looking older lady, she has white hair, light blue eyes, and red and chubby cheeks.

When she sees me leaving with Maddox she narrows her eyes at us.

"Excuse me" she says acidly.

"Ummm yes?" I say with a smile.

"This is a children's store, if you guys want to do indecent things you can do them in a hotel not in a kids candy store" she says with a glare making my eyes widen. She was looking at us with disgust.

"Uh, no! This is a misunderstanding! I was just, we umm-" I was at a loss of words so I turned to Maddox who simply replied. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"She was giving me the most mind blowing blow job ever, its just so wow" Maddox lies, biting his lip for extra effect. He winks at the older lady then grabs hold of my hand and walks to one of the shelves as if he hadn't just lied about me giving him oral sex.

"Maddox what the hell!" I hiss.

"What?" He asks distractedly while looking over at all of the candies.

"Why would you say that?" I ask him.

He shrugs "she wouldn't have believed us anyways so I decided to have a little fun messing with her, now pick anything you want" he says while walking to the corner and talking two lime green baskets.

We walk around the who store picking all the candy we wanted then we walked to the park with a bag of candy each.

We still haven't talked about everything that has happened so its now or never.

"So...." I start. "This has been a crazy week" I state while eating some rock candy.

He groans "Can't we just forget about it like normal adults?"

I scoff. "Normal adults? Normal adults talk about things! You yelled at me and then ignored me. And then all of the sudden you decide on taking me on a date! What the hell? I really appreciate it and it has been perfect but we need to talk about things!"

He stops walking and turns to me "I am trying, I am trying so fucking hard but I am new at this! My last girlfriend was when I was like fucking 15 give me a damn break! I am try to fix all this shit but you keep bringing it up! Just forget about it" He snaps

"I understand you are trying but relationships can't work without communication Maddox and you don't like to communicate"

"That only happens with normal relationships, not with mates! And stop being such a damn hypocrite, if you would've told me you were seeing that dick in the first place none of this would've happened!" He says looking at me straight in the eye. Our voices have risen and I am happy that there aren't people around.

"Are you seriously trying to blame all of this on me? I can see and talk to whoever the hell I want! You can't control me" I say, my gaze also on his.

"I am not trying to control you! I just don't want to loose you dammit! I know you are way too good for me, you are innocent and kind and beautiful and I am a dick who kills rogues for fun! I know that if I let you talk to other guys you will find someone who is much less of a fuck up then I am and leave me and I will not have that! You will not leave me" He says the last part in a whisper, I have never seen him so vulnerable, his eyes are wide and his breathing is ragged and I can only stare at him.

"Oh Maddox, thats what its all about? I love you so much, you are my soul mate, my other half. I don't even want to think about what life without you would be like" I say wrapping my arms around his waist.

I can still see the doubt in his features but he still wraps his arms around me.

"Promise me we will communicate more" I mumble against his chest.

"I can't promise you that Jayda, but I promise I'll try" he says kissing the top of my head.

I sigh, at least I got something...

We finish our date after walking around the park and talking about stupid silly things.

When we get home we get some take out and cuddle on the couch to watch 'Dear John'

We are both lost in our own thoughts, my thoughts were focusing on Jayson. The sweet little 10 year old boy I had met today that ended up being my brother.

I smile at the thought of him, I had thought I would always be an only daughter i really don't know why though. I guess I just didn't want to acknowledge that my dad had moved on from my mom and I.

My smile falters but not because of the thought of my dad moving on but because I finally realize something, Jayson is already 10 years old and my dad left my mom and I 8 years ago so that means that he cheated on my mom with Karen, he got his mate pregnant while being with my mom. Those last to years I had with him, the years I thought everything was perfect were all a big lie. He had played my mom and I.

And in that moment I hated my dad more than I ever had.
