Runaway mate 2
Ava knows very well what she's supposed to do, but she never expected it to be today, she never thought she’d be this unprepared, and she certainly wasn’t ready to reject her mate now.
She saw that Lucas was almost close to them; he had paused for a bit when he saw her running away.
“Let's just go, please we'll talk about this outside,” Ava persuaded. She didn’t wait for Nicole to respond, instead she turned around, her eyes searching and looking for another way to exit the large restaurant.
“Even if you want to leave, where will you pass? There’s only one exit and he’s in the way of it you know, you'll still bump into him.”
Just then Ava’s eyes caught the waiter who had disappeared into the door behind the marbled counter, she grabbed Nicole’s hand again and started in that direction. Entering the kitchen, she saw the waiter giving an order to the chef.
“You’re not supposed to be here ma’am, this area is restricted to staff only,” the cook turned to her with a frown.
“We are really sorry,” Ava muttered. “It’s an emergency,” not even waiting to hear a response, she pushed away the waiter blocking her way and rushed out through the kitchen door that led to the back exit, she had to leave this place as fast as possible.
Both friends ran out of the restaurant and into Nicole’s car that was parked at the front, she sat in front at the passenger’s seat beside Nicole.
“Drive!”
“Are you seriously going to run away from him? Is that what a Luna does? Running away from what she’s supposed to do???” Nicole snared.
Those words sent daggers into Ava’s heart, pricking her guilt. She knew the right thing to do but she chose to ignore it instead; she knew she was ignoring her responsibility by running away and worse, she was doing it in front of a witness, her best friend. But she didn't have much of a choice; this was too much for her, too unexpected, she needed some time and space to process all this.
Lucas had just come out of the restaurant; his eyes were looking around and Ava knew it wouldn't take long before he found them in this car.
“I beg you in the name of the moon goddess,” Ava put her two hands together to show her desperation to Nicole. “Please, just take me away from here.”
“I don't think you know what you're doing Ava.”
Ava wanted to slump in frustration, why did Nicole have to be like this? Why did this friend of hers have to be so difficult at times?
Nicole then started the car and began to reverse much to her relief, from the car window, she looked at her mate whose eyes where still searching, he had spotted her in the car at that moment and their eyes met again, before Nicole drove her out of the scene, she never turned her eyes away from his, not until he completely faded out of sight.

“You owe me one!” Nicole snapped as she drove away.
