Chapter 20

Allison's pov
I'm shocked he got so angry so fast, I wonder what got him so mad. I sat in the kitchen with Tara who surprisingly was still eating so content that I'm not sure if I just witnessed Zander storming out of the kitchen or if it was my imagination. I had lost my appetite long ago, the food looked and smelled amazing but I didn't want to make Zander more upset by continuing to eat so I sat there unsure of what to do. Connie had long since gone to bed since it was now after 10 and I was feeling pretty tired myself. I didn't want to be rude though and leave Tara alone so I waited for any sign that she was finished and when she sat back and wiped her face with her napkin I was sure she was done.
“If you're finished I can take your plate and wash it for you.” I say reaching for the plate.
“Oh well thank you, but you don't have to do that. I am capable of washing my own dishes.” She says taking back the plate I took from her.
“Oh well I don't mind back home. I always washed all the dishes for the family.
“Oh well we can wash them together. How does that sound?” She asks, smiling and already heading towards the sink.
I nod in agreement and we soon have all the dishes washed from supper.
“You know Zander doesn't usually get mad, it usually happens when he is stressed about something.” Tara says giving me a reassuring look.
“Oh that's good too know.” I say quietly.
“By the way I noticed you didn't eat much for supper. Were you not hungry I didn't see you eat all day?” She asks giving me a quizzical look.
“Oh I usually don't eat too much at night as I sometimes get indigestion.” I say alittle embarrassed. I hate lying but I can't trust anyone with the truth. How can I just explain why I don't really eat alot?
“Well it's late why don't we head up to bed, I have to leave early in the morning for class but we should totally hand out again sometime soon!” She says with enthusiasm.
“Yes it is late, but I did enjoy going out today, it was fun.” I say smiling at her.
We walked upstairs and I could see Zander talking to a couple maids and than I saw them take off down the hallway.
“Oh there you guys are, I was beginning to wonder what was taking you so long.” He says as we approach him.
He dosent look mad anymore, thank goddess but he seemed nervous and unsure. I wonder what that is all about.
“Yeah we were washing the dishes from dinner.” Tara says looking after the maids.
“Yes well its late and my wife and I will turn in now. I have made arrangements with the maids and they will sort your room out and have it ready for you.” Zander says with a hint of nervous tension.
Maybe it's just me but he did say his wife, my wolf purrs with words that come out of his mouth. I'm trying to concentrate on them but it's hard too when all I hear is my wolf. I feel a hand grab me and before I know it I'm dragged into Zander's room before I can object, he closes the door and pins me against the door with his finger up to his mouth telling me to be quite. I nod and my face is immediately red from the blush I'm sure is running through my face. Zander's face is pressed to the door and listening to what is happening outside. I realize he is very close and I can hear his heartbeat and smell his colone. He is barley touching me but he is still very close to me. I can feel his body heat and I don't move at all for fear he will move away. He looks at my face when he realizes the position we're in, I think he is going to move away but instead he says.
“Are you blushing Allison?” He says with a smirk. I look at him and he is studying me like I'm studying him. Neither one if us say anything until I remember I never answered him.
“No I'm not.” I say trying to look away but I see his arm and that's when I realize that he has me boxed in and I dont have anywhere to go unless I want bend down and try to go under him but I'd rather not make a fool of myself. All he does is smirk and just stare at me. I just stare back at him and notice that he is getting closer where our faces are very close and it almost seems like he's going to kiss me. I look at his lips and he sees me looking and leans forward more. I hold my breath unable to think and just when I think he is going to kiss me there is a knock on the door.
“Mr.Martin sorry to bother you buy you have a phone call and the person is very insistent that they speak with you.” I hear a maid say through the door. Zander just rests his head against the door and sighs. He moves away and before I can think I hurry to the bathroom and close the door. What just happened? Zander almost kissed me and I feel sad that we got interrupted. I turn the sink on and splash some cold water over my face to cool down the blush that threatens to crawl all over my face. I turn the sink off and hear the door close again outside. I open the bathroom door and walk back in the bedroom. I walk in and see Zander sitting on the bed, I stand there unsure of what to do.
“Sorry about just now, my sister can't know that we are sleeping in separate rooms so you will be sleeping here tonight. I'll take the floor so you can have the bed.” He says moving too the bed.
“No.” I shout loudly. “I mean no that's ok the bed is big enough for the both of us to sleep on it together.” I say looking at the floor too shy to look at him.
“Ok if your sure that it's fine.” He questions me.
“Yes its fine.” I suddenly realize that I have no night clothes to wear in here.
“Um do you by any chance have any clothes that I could borrow tonight? All my clothes are in my room.” I say looking at the floor.
“Sure I have some clothes you could wear tonight.” He goes to his drawer and pulls out a shirt and some shorts. He hands then to me and I go into the bathroom once again. The clothes he gave me are filled with his sent and it's heaven. I put the shirt on convicted that it won't fit me of that it will be too tight. I'm surprised when the short is actually loose and the shorts fit me too. The shorts though come to my thighs and I'm not sure about walking around Zander with my legs exposed but than again will he really be looking at me? Probably not, I mean I'm not much to look at. I finish in the bathroom and go back out to the bedroom. I see Zander sitting on the bed and I see he has no shirt on and some shorts on similar to mine. I look away before a blush can be seen on my face. He looks so good, his shoulder are broad and he has a six pack and I notice that his shorts hang low on his hips. Before I am caught I look away and head for the bed and get in along with Zander. I lay on one side and Zander lays on the other there are a few inches between us.
“Good night,sleep well.” I whisper in the dark unsure if Zander is asleep of not. I don't hear an answer so I just lay there listening to Zander breathing.
Though there is distance between us, Ash is going crazy inside my head being in close proximity to our mate. I can't blame her, I can smell Zander's sent everywhere and it just makes me dizzy. I too soon fall asleep next to my mate happy with just this.
