Promposal
The table rumbled as Gage sat down roughly across from Shiloh. Shiloh glanced up from her book. Her greye eyes narrowing at the hulking boy in the letterman jacket. He had a mop of scruffy blonde hair and bright brown eyes as he looked her over.
“Canni help you?” Shiloh asked after a ling pause. She looked around nervously waiting for the laughter yo start.
“I had my cerominy the other day…. Got ti transform for the first time.” Gage said excitedly as he plucked a carrot stick from her tray of food.
“Cool..” shiloh pulled her food closwr to her as set her book down.
“I also had my mate dream last night.” He continued. Shiloh looked around again her nerves causing her to fidget uncomfortably.
“Ok im happy for you?” She furrowed her brows. Her stomach tightening.
“It was you.” Enily rolled her wyes
“Shut up Gage.” She snapped picking up her book again.
“Its true i swear!” He pushed on. “I was shocked as well but listen…” he moved around and knelt before her she pulled back as he took the book from her hands and took herbhands. “I couldnt believe it either Shi but i’ll do anything….”
“Stop uou have to stop.” Her cheeks burned as she felt all the eyes on her. “Sweiously this is not….”
“Shayla…”
“My name isn’t Shayla .” She hissed her teeth clenched.
“Im sorry i’m just so excited…. Please Shiloh give me a chance. I broke up with Shayla for you.”
“Gage you have to stop now please.” Shiloh begged.
“Just give me a chance Emikg I promise i will earn your love.” He whispered.
“Fine whatever just please get up.” She agreed her stomach flipping. He grinned at her broadly. He stood up and grinned at her broadly.
“So will you go to prom with me it could be our first date?” He asked almost sheepishly. Shiloh sighed.
“Sure whatever just please stop.” She hissed. He wrapped his arms around her and she froze. “Oh my god Gage please stop.” He pulld away.
“Shiloh listen i onow you havent felt it yet but you will i swear!” He shouted excitedly as he jumped up. Shiloh felt her whole body clench as she begged herself to melt into the floor. Gage practiaccly skipped from tbe room as laughter dollowed him. Shiloh quickly grabbed her belongings and shoved them in her bag and dumped her lunch in thw trashcan before scurryong towards the art wing deaperate for a quiet corner. She froze when she practically ran into Shayla Mcgill.
Shayla was tall and gorgeous. She’d already had several modeling jobs and her prents made sure she had the best of everything. She had her arms crossed as she glared down at Shiloh.
“You know its not true.” She grumbled angrily. Shiloh looked up at her, she saw how red faced Shayla was, she saw the tears welling up.
“Hw approached me…”
“Out of pity. He is NOT mated to you.” Her voice cracked as she spoke.
“Im just trying to get to my next class.” Shiloh tried. Hurt radiated from the girl in front of her so she chose to be gentle.
“What do you expect to happen… just siddenly you’re together and…and”
“We’re not together Shayla i am sure its a mistake. He’ll figure it out. Some wolves need time.”
“Oh my god shit up!” She spat angrily. “I dont even know why i bothered. Stay away from him.” She growled walking away. Shiloh rolled her wyes and continued towards her class.
“Oh honey!” Alice gasped as Shiloh walked into tbe small living room. Shiloh wore a long black gone dotted with gems looking like the pure nught sky. Her long black hair draped over on shoulder in gentle waves. And a runy sat in the middle of a black satin choker around her neck.
“Is it too much?” She asked neevously adjusting the bodice.
“You look beautiful baby lets take your pucture honey look at our girl.” Alice called as Peter walked in from the kitchen. His gray eyes misted over as he looked over his yohngest daughter. He smiled his throat scratchy as he shiffled his feet shiloh smiled at her parents lovingly.
“Thanks guys.” She smirked as her mother guided her to stand begore their fireplace. They snapped several puctures oohhing and awing as they went.. A knock sounded at the door causing Shiloh to jump. Peter opened the door and Gage beamed at him holding a bouquet of roses. Peter led him in and Gage grinned as his eyes fell on Shiloh.
“Oh Shi…” he cooed.
“You look nice.” Shiloh smiled she meant it he wore his rux well like he was meant to wear it.
“Its nice to meet you, im Alice.” Alice said stepping in feint if her daughter. Her eyes clouded slightly as she shook Gage’s hand. She wet her lips as she watched him hand Shiloh the flowers. Her heart felt heavy and she couldnt explain why.
“You ready?” He asked. Shiloh nodded her stomach full of butterflies. Alive grabbed Shiloh’s hand and oulled her aside.
“Call if you need anything. It doesnt matter just call. Promise.” She hissed.
“Of course mom i’ll be careful.” Shiloh hugged her mother close.
“Shiloh i swear just call if anythingbia wrong we wont judge.” Her motber whispered in her ear.
“Mama i got this.” Shiloh smiled reassuringly. Alive smiled and stepped back as Shiloh followed Gage to his cat. He opened the door and she slid inside. She waved to her parents as Gage started the engine and pulled out.
“Shayla stopped me ghe other day.” Shiloh broke the silence as they drive downbthe empty raod. Gage rolled his eyes.
“She’s insistant that my dream was wring but it wasnt Shiloh. Its you.”
“I mean i get that but maybe asking me to prom was a bit harsh. I won’t be 18 for a few months so i wouldnt have even known we were mated…”
“Shes going with Alex bet she didnt tell you that.”
“Shes barely looked at me…i ran into her at the tailors and she just pushed past me…”
“Im sorry Shiloh i swear after tonight everything for you is gonna change.”
“What do you mean.”
“You’ll meet my friends you’ll be in our group now.” He smiled at her and took her hand pulling it to his lips. Shiloh smiled her stomache flipping again. She looked out the window and realized they were going the wring way. She opened her mouth to speak.
“I have a oarty to go to before we head to prom…don’t worry it’ll be fun!” Gage said smiling sweetly at her. Anxiety prickled at Shiloh as she smiled bavk nervously
