Welp. My hip just keeps getting better and better. *Note the sarcasm*

The specialist said that my muscle in my hip looks like a mop head. So it's pretty much shredded lol.

And I'm going to start a mob so we can get my ex. He keeps asking if we can work things out and try again.

Like hell no bitch! XD

And I think his best friend likes me....shiiiiiiiiit.

Anywhore. On with the story

---------------------------------------------

River

"You think this is a good idea?" Cooper, my Third, asked me.

I nodded. "Oh ya. I want to meet her in person."

"You already have." Nolan laughed.

I chuckled. "She met me in wolf form. Not in human form."

The guys laughed and gave me a thumbs up as I got out of the hummer.

'I got this.' I told myself again as I walked up to Starbucks.

'Don't fuck up or anything.' Leo growled.

Gotta love the little pep talks my wolf gives me.

I walked in and stood behind my beautiful mate.

"Hot guy at 3 o'clock." I heard my mate's friends laugh.

"Where?" My mate asked as she turned around.

I chuckled as she ran into me, but stopped once I felt her coffee go all over me.

"I am so sorry." She said as she took her napkin and tried to wipe off my shirt.

She is so damn cute

"It's okay." I laughed as I softly grabbed her hand.

Man her hands are so soft.

Gotta love her smell. Lilacs and daisies.

"Are you alright?" I asked her with a big smile.

She gulped and nodded.

I kept on smiling.

I knew she felt the sparks. How can she not?

The sparks were making me want to take her right now.

"Jack?" I heard her friend ask.

So that's her name. I like it

"I'm good. I'm good." Jack said nodding.

"Jack?" I laughed. "Isn't that a boy's name?"

She chuckled and nodded. "Ya. The screen during the ultrasound had a missing pixel or something so it made it look like I had a guy part. So my parents named me Jack."

"Well I like it." I smiled. "It's unique. It fits you."

"T-thank you." She blushed.

'Damn man.' Leo said lovingly. 'That blush is killing me.'

You and me both.

"I'm River." I smiled as I stuck my hand out.

She shook it and I almost moaned as I felt the amazing sparks again. "Jack. But you already found that out."

I laughed.

"Come on Jack." Her friend laughed. "We have work to go to. Then you have to get ready for your date."

She blushed and I frowned.

She has a date? Fine. But I will just rip the bastard's throat out then.

"You have a date tonight?" I asked tightly.

She nodded. "Ya. It's nothing major."

It's fucking major to me.

"Nothing major?" Her friend asked astonished. "He could ask you to be his girlfriend tonight. You have to look hot!"

"Micah!" Jack yelled laughing.

So her friend's name is Micah.

"Um I don't think that's a good idea." I said suddenly. "He could be an axe killer or something."

"It's okay River." She laughed. "I have Critter to protect me."

"He's so cute." I gushed as I looked at the baby raccoon.

Critter hissed and swatted at me.

Well damn.

"Critter!" Jack yelled and took him away from me. "I'm so sorry. He's never like this. He loves people."

I laughed. "It's okay. Honest."

"Okay." Jack sighed.

"So where is your date?" I asked.

She needs to tell me so I can crash it.

"He's taking me to Red Lobster." She said smiling. "I love sea food."

Good to know.

"You shouldn't go." I said frowning.

"Why?" Jack asked me confused.

"Because I don't want you to go." I mumbled.

She scoffed and put her hands on her hips. "You aren't the boss of me."

I let out a small growl.

I gave her one last look and marched out of Starbucks.

I slammed the door shut once I got in the hummer and pouted.

"So how was it?" Cooper asked smirking.

I flipped him off. "My mate thinks she has a date tonight. How cute."

"Let me guess." Nolan laughed as he shook his head. "We are crashing her date tonight."

I smirked. "Hell ya we are."

Nolan sighed. "Fine. Now who wants to tell my mate that I'm gonna miss our date night?"

"Not me!" I said first.

"Aw man." Cooper whined. "Julia scares the hell out of me. She's gonna kill me!"

Nolan and I both shrugged. "Oh well."

Jack

"You look lovely tonight." Errold smiled as he pulled my chair out for me.

I giggled. "You already told me that."

"Yes. I just wanted to tell you again." Errold winked.

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "You're so charming."

He smirked. "I try my hardest."

"Hi my name is Bailey and I'll be your waitress tonight. Can I start you off with some drinks?" The waitress asked with a smile.

"I'll take a sprite please." I smiled.

She nodded and wrote it down. "And for you sir?"

"Do you have pepsi?" Errold asked hopefully.

Bailey nodded. "Of course. I will be right back with your drinks."

"Thank you." Errold and I both said.

"Jinks you owe me a coke." I laughed.

"How about a sprite instead?" Errold teased.

"I'll take it." I laughed.

"So tell me about yourself." Errold smiled.

"Well I'm 20 years old, I have a pet raccoon named Critter, I'm working as a vet tech now at the local clinic, and hopefully go back to school later to become a veterinarian." I smiled. "My favorite color is red, my lucky number is six, and my favorite animal is a wolf."

"Why a wolf?" Errold asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know really. I've always been fascinated by them. That was the first animal that I would ever look at in a zoo and my grandma got me a stuffed wolf for my first birthday present. I would never let that thing go."

Errold laughed. "That is cute."

I blushed. "Thank you. What about you?"

Errold was about to answer but stopped when a drink landed on him.

"Errold! Are you okay?" I asked as I grabbed all the napkins.

"Uh ya." He said as he looked up. "What the hell man?"

I gasped as I saw River holding a now empty cup with two guys behind him.

"Oh sorry dude." River smirked. "My bad. I tripped."

"Tripped my ass." I said as I glared at River. "What is your deal River?"

River turned to look at me. "Nothing."

I put my hands on my hip. "Really? So what you just did there was nothing."

River nodded. "I told you not to go on this date."

"You're not my boyfriend." I shot at him.

River's expression darkened. "Whatever."

I groaned as the River and the other two guys walked away.

"I'm so sorry Errold." I said sadly.

"I'm sorry Jack. But this isn't gonna work out." Errold said suddenly.

Okay. Now I'm confused.

"Huh?" I asked.

"You and I. I like you, but this isn't worth it." He said as he wiped his shirt off.

"What do you mean?"

What the hell is happening?

"I don't want to date you if all your exboyfriends are gonna pop up out of nowhere and mess with me. I'm sorry Jack." Errold sighed as he turned to walk away.

"You have got to be kidding me." I groaned as I pulled out my phone.

I dialed Micah's number and hit the green button.

Ring...Ring...Ri-

"Yello?" Micah asked.

"Can you please come get me?" I sighed as I dragged my hand down my face.

"What's wrong?" Micah asked worried.

"My date just left me." I said sadly as I played with my fork.

"I'm on my way babe." Micah said sadly. "I thought he liked you?"

I sighed. "Ya. Me too."

"What happened?"

"River happened." I said practically growling in the phone.

"The guy from Starbucks?" Micah asked shocked.

"Yep." I said walking outside. "He showed up with two guys and River dumped his drink all over Errold. Then Errold said how if my exboyfriends keep popping up, it's not worth anything to date me."

"But you don't even know River."

"Trust me. I know. Errold didn't give me any chance to talk. He just left." I sighed.

"I'm almost there hun." Micah said. "I'm sorry it didn't work out."

"It's okay I guess." I sighed. "I guess it's God's way of telling me that I'm destined to be alone. Seriously. All my boyfriends have cheated because I won't give them sex and now when I have the chance to actually date someone, something goes wrong."

I hung up the phone when I saw Micah park in front of me and roll down the window.

"It's just bad timing." Micah said as I opened the door. "Maybe God just doesn't want you to have a boyfriend right now. Or He's telling you that you have picked the wrong guys."

"Well then why can't the right guy just show up or something." I asked groaning.

"Isn't that River?" Micah asking as River walked out of Red Lobster and looked at us. "Can I hit him?"

"Nah. Don't want to scratch your baby." I laughed. "But it would be nice too."

"Got that right." Micah said as she eyed River. "Tell him to stop staring before I kick his ass."

I looked out the window and saw River.

His eyes held regret.

I scoffed.

He knew what he was doing.

"We should go before I really kick his ass." I said looking back at Micah.

She nodded and pulled out of the parking lot.

Why did River do that?

Did he have a valid reason?

I stopped thinking about it and looked out the window.

I just wanted to forget about tonight.
