My Unforgivable Mate novel Chapter 71

Going back to school I make it yet another mission to avoid Malic at all costs which comes easy enough, for last period I have gym and Tomas and I decide to set off playing a one on one basketball game. We're not even doing anything so.

"Five, two." I toss the ball back to him fanning myself out.

"Oh shut up," he sits using the ball as a cushion. "I don't know where you got this burst of energy form," the memory of Malic's lips on my cross my head and I find myself looking over at him. He has his back to me talking to one of his beta's.

"Let's go get water," I hold a hand out for him to take, he drags himself up almost tipping me on top of him. "Damn." We walked out and make our way to the water fountain and Tomas helps himself to a couple of sips before I do.

I bend pressing the button activating it and the ponytail of my hair falls in my way, Tomas take it upon himself to hold it up for me. "Thanks," I go back down and take a few gulps.

"I need to talk to you." My heart drops at his words as I meet his eyes. "Nothing bad," he beams, "no tea to spill."

"Then what?" I stand wiping the corner of my lips.

"It's about what you said yesterday," I try replay our conversation. "I wanted you to know that, I'm a willing candidate." I frown, willing candidate? For what? I watch the tiles for a moment letting his words sink in deeper.

Then it hits me, I lift my eyes meeting his, I can't help but smile.

"A willing candidate huh?"

"I've never been shy about how I feel about you," I drop my eyes.

"Is this you shooting your shot?"

"Yes."

"You're a manwhore, no offence." He laughs at my comment throwing his head back a little.

"I'm transparent with you, if you didn't ask such questions, you wouldn't know." I shuffle around rolling form the heels of me feet to the fronts. "I'm honest, I make you laugh, and I'm a gentleman through and through, I wouldn't mind if you obsessed over me a little."

I bark a laugh and he joins dragging it out. "I can not with you."

"I'm being serious here." He chortles.
