She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 25

"Are you sure?" He slowly asked and I nodded. "After this, I'm going to take you out." He stated with a huge grin on his face.

"Like a-" I started and he nodded.

"Like a date." I slowly nodded. "If you don't want to that's fine. We don't have to." He quickly added. "We could go as-um- as...friends." He frowned and I could tell he was holding back a growl.

"No. I want to." I started. "It's just that, I-um I've never been on like a real date. I mean there was this one time where I went on a double date with one of my friends but then the guy tried to kiss me after a couple hours of meeting and it was just weird. Also, we went to the beach which was really cold and windy and it wasn't that nice. And my friend's date was hitting on me, her and other girls so it wasn't that great of an experience." I rambled making Zane scowl.

"Don't tell me that." He calmly said and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Why?" I slowly asked.

"I don't want to know who all you've been with." He simply replied and my face reddened.

"No! I haven't been with anyone. I've only had one serious boyfriend." I assured him and he growled. "Oh. Sorry. You don't want to know." I felt stupid now as I tried to clamp my mouth shut.

"Well, now I do. Who was he?" He started and I looked away. "Do you still like him?" He tried to calmly ask but it didn't sound so calm.

"His name was Forrest. And no." I said the last part quietly.
