11 At the diner

Chapter 11: At the diner.

~Stefan's POV~

I felt bad for Wendy. Wendy and I have been best friends since childhood. She was one of the few people who made my childhood memorable. Until one day, we decided to take it deeper, if I had known, I wouldn't have agreed to her first proposal. "Why don't we have fun and I'll back out when you find your mate?."

Haha, that was hilarious. We do things that mate does for each other and every moment we shared with each other was breathtaking, not until I found my way to WLHS.

The very first moment I stepped my foot into the building, I felt her. It was just like every moment everyone waited for and I knew my life wasn't gonna be the same anymore.

Ever since Wendy found out, it had been hell for her, Wendy is not someone you caution, you use action. Wendy tried every possible means to kill my mate. I was surprised after cautioning her oneday about killing Ellie, she said,"My mate died. You're not the first to lose a mate."

That was when I came to know that I was in deep shit. Wendy wanted to kill my mate and have me, and it's not gonna happen.

I really fucked up, I really should have not gone deeper with her after Damon died. I could have stayed on my own knowing she needed affection then, I went on and on consoling her. If I had known my mate was gonna be in danger, I would have not gone into the relationship. Yeah, I like her, as my friend but she's not my mate.

Wendy and I hadn't been speaking to each other after the incident last week. I was guilty that I suddenly left her for my mate without having a conversation with her about it. I opened the door and found her sitting on a seat beside the window, she was probably on call. "You fool. Why did you leave the laptop behind?."

"Why are you bent on destroying her life?" I asked, sitting casually on the bed. Wendy was the one who took my mate's laptop and stole from the fund. I was angry after I found out about it, her plans were to take her out of being one of the school executives so I do not work with her.

She dropped the phone and turned to me with a mischievous smile. I knew instantly she was up to something.

She didn't speak later on, she stood up and started walking toward the door, I grabbed her hand stopping her from always walking away from me.

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "Leave me alone." She warned strictly and tried removing her hand and only ended up hurting herself. "I'm gonna let you go, if you promise to listen to me."

She sat on the bed beside me and I cleared my throat. "I'm very sorry for letting you in on what was happening like that. I didn't know how to tell you, but I tried to. A lot has happened between us since childhood, please don't throw it away because of my mate." I said.

She scoffed. "Who told you I was gonna throw what we had together like that?," She draws nearer and places her hand on my right cheek. "You are my best friend and my boyfriend." I removed her hand from my face. "I don't love you, Wendy."

"You do love me, it's that woman, she's toying with your head." She frowned and hissed angrily.

"My mate's not doing that. She's mine and we're destined."

"Well, we're gonna take care of her then. You can't be with anyone else. You are mine. You see, Ellie has a boyfriend, meanwhile I wanna spend time with you just like other times." She leaned closer and kissed me on my mouth, I pushed her away and stepped out of the bed immediately.

"Don't hurt my mate, Wendy. We talked about this." She stood up and walked out of the room. I sat back down tiredly, combing my right hand through my hair.

I'm fed up with trying to stop Wendy from hurting my mate. Sometimes I wanted my mate to be one of us but then, I never wished for a supernatural being as my mate. I always pray to the moon goddess to grant me a human because I believe humans were so pure, and she'd granted my wish. She gave me the most beautiful woman everyone wished for.

I shouldn't be thinking of Wendy now, I should be thinking of how to bring my mate closer. How to make her understand how the bond works?, and also make it known that I'm always hers and it's fate that brought us together. To also make it known that I was a half witch. Will my mate ever accept me?.

I walked down the stairs and saw Wendy sitting on the couch. "I get it that you want me to stay away from your human mate." She spoke. I stopped walking and listened. She rested her back on the cushion and faced me. "Okay. I'll stay away if you only do this."

"What's that?" I asked, suspiciously. She dropped her phone on the table and sat up, tucking her hair behind her ear. "I want you and I to go on a date together, how do you see that?"

I thought for a while. To ensure my mate's safety, I'll have to give up a date with her. For me, this is a wonderful idea. "Promise?" I asked back. She breathed out.

"I don't give promises." She replied and lour at her. I shook my head and replied "You know I can hurt you if you do not stay away from her." I tried to remind her. "And you know I'm not afraid of you."

I stopped at the threshold of the diner house and Wendy looked at me. "What is it?" She asked. "I smell her." I answered searching all through the tables at the diner and my eyes found her. She was seated in between her two friends, Molly and Tyson. I looked at Wendy.

"The night is for us." She warned strictly and started walking to a table very far from them.

We were seated with the pasta pomodoro dish Wendy ordered for us. Wendy couldn't stop talking while I couldn't take my eyes off my mate. All I wanted right now was to be with her. "Stefan. This is not our deal."

"I don't make promises." I teased and looked at her. Her brows furrowed and she looked very confused. "I'm done, let's go." I raised my brows. "To where?" I asked.

She brought out her phone from her pocket and looked into it. "Time for the movie night." I scoffed. "What about the food?" She sighed. "You barely touched yours, Stefan. You were all along drooling over her. Fuck you." She spat and walked away. I stood up and dropped the bills before running after Wendy.
