chapter 8

                                    

                                          
~Drake~ 
                          
I wake up slowly and look down and see Aubrey curled into my chest. I twirl a strand of her hair around my finger. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping. I thought back to that box, nobody was going to take Aubrey from me. I would never let that happen. There was a knock at the door and I look back as my mom comes in. 
                          
"Honey, breakfast is ready. When Aubrey wakes up you both can come down to eat." I nod and she walks out closing the door lightly. 
                          
I laid in bed for a while until I decided that Aubrey should get up to eat. 
                          
"Aubrey, Aubrey, come on babe, you gotta eat." Her eyes slowly flutter open. She closes them again and closes her eyes and stuffs her face in my chest. 
                          
"Come on babe. You gotta get up." I say and sit up. Eventually she sits up and leans her head on my shoulder. 
                          
We get dressed and than walk down stairs in to my kitchen. We take our seats at the kitchen table. Mandy and Travis were sitting across from us and Mom and Dad were sitting on the ends. Breakfast was already out on the table. My mom had made waffles, bacon, eggs, and hash browns. 
                          
I grabbed my plate and put some of everything on it. I look at Aubrey and she was waiting for everyone just like she always does. She was always caring and made sure there was enough for everyone else before she got any. Once everyone was done she got everything she wanted and dug in.
                          
When we were all done Travis and Mandy ran upstairs.Mandy was giggling as she starred at her phone and Travis had grabbed his action figure. Aubrey went to get up to clear the table but I got up faster and shooed her to my room. 
                          
"Go lay down babe." I say and kiss her head. "I'll be up soon and we can watch movies and just stay in bed all day. okay?" I say as I squeeze her hips lightly. She nods and i smile. She goes upstairs and I get all the dishes. After I get the table cleared my dad washes the dishes. 
                          
I jog upstairs and find Aubrey in my bed on my laptop. She looks up and smiles. I could see the tiredness in her eyes. I pull back the covers and slide in next to her. She scoots closer to me and I see that she is on my Netflix.I wrap my arm around her and she lays her head on my chest. 
                          
I move the laptop on to my lap and she turns to her side. 
                          
"What would you like to watch princess?" I ask her. 
                          
"How I met your mother." She says. I click on it and adjust it so we both can see. 
                          
After a few episodes we hear yelling down stairs and than Mandy comes stomping upstairs. She opens my door and we look at her and I see tears in her eyes. Aubrey sits up nd stares at her with concern. 
                          
"Mandy sweet heart what's wrong." Aubrey asks. Mandy walks over and crawls into my bed next to Aubrey. 
                          
"Dad. He freaked out about me and Jacob seeing each other." 
                          
"It's okay. He probably just freaked out because your his little girl. When my dad found out I started he freaked out. He even tried to pull me out of school." Aubrey said. We both laugh at the memory.
                          
"Why are fathers so complicated?" She asks, 
                          
"Because they want to protect their kids." I say. She nods. 
                          
"Do you want me to go talk to him?" Aubrey asks. 
                          
"Please?" Mandy asks. Aubrey stands up and leaves. Mandy scoots closer to me and lays her head on my shoulder. 
                          
"Was dad mad with you when you started liking Aubrey?" she asks me as she looks up. 
                          
"No but Mandy you have to remember something, your his little girl. He sees you and he can't help but think of you as if you were still that little helpless girl you were when you were little. All fathers do it. It is just worse for you because first he is an Alpha, which makes him possessive of his mate and his kids, second I never really dated anyone that I wasn't certain was my mate so I never went through a heart break which makes him nervous about if you have one. Third you aren't only his little girl you are his only girl." I say. She nods and than lays her head on my shoulder and we wait for Aubrey in silence. 
                          
~Aubrey~
                          
I walk out of the room and close the door. I go down stairs and Drake's mom was in the living room. I walked by and went to Drake's dad's office. 
                          
I knocked on the door and then heard a deep voice telling me to come in. I open the door and sit in the comfortable seats in front of his desk. When I sit down he looks up at me. I can tell he is still upset from his talk with Mandy. 
                          
"Let me guess, Mandy asked you to come?" He said. I smile. 
                          
"Something like that." I say. He smiles but shakes his head. 
                          
"She's not dating this guy." He said. 
                          
"I know that you are really protective of her, but some time she has to grow up. Jacob is a really sweet kid. He isn't gonna hurt her. I think you should invite him over and get to know him before you jump to conclusions." I say with the most respect I could. Even though he was like a father to me, he was still the Alpha and I knew I was messing with a touchy subject. 
                          
"I guess you have a point. Can you send Amanda back down?" He asks. I smile and nod. I exit his office and jog back upstairs. When I look through the doorway I smile at what was in front of me. Drake was laying in the same position as he was before. Mandy had scooted over to him and laid her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her comforting her. 
                          
Drake looks up at me and smiles. Mandy looks up at me too. 
                          
"Your dad would like to see you Mandy." She grins and races down stairs almost falling down the stairs. I smile and than walk over to the bed and laying next to Drake. He wraps his arm around me and brings me closer to him. I snuggle in to his chest and lay my hand beside his face. 
                          
"You are an amazing person." He says. I look up at him. 
                          
"I just want her to be happy." I say confused on why that would make me and 'amazing person'.
                          
"Exactly. You could have just shrugged it off like it was nothing, but instead you went down there willing to take the wrath of my father, so she could be happy. Most people would have just told her that she had no reason to cry and that she was to young to have a boyfriend." He says. I nod. 
                          
"I don't think she is to young. I was her age when I started hoping you would ask me out." I say. He smiles. 
                          
"I wish I would have had the balls to." I smile and laugh. We lay there in silence until he grabbed the laptop and turned our show back on. That was how we spent the rest of our day other than eating. That night we both got ready for bed. I changed in to one of Drake's T-shirts and a pair of my sweat pants. I brush my damp hair from my shower. 
                          
Drake walks out of the bathroom in a pair of basket ball shorts. His hair was wet and he was rubbing a towel on his head. I stared at his chest as it flexed with the movement of his arm. He looks over at me and smirks. 
                          
"Like what you see babe?" A comment I would usually get annoyed with was perfectly said by my mate. 
                          
"I like it a lot." I say licking my lips. He smiles and wraps his arms around my waist before moving his head to my neck kissing up and down. I let out a laugh as he hit a slightly ticklish spot on my neck. We hear a bang on the wall that was beside Mandy's room. 
                          
"Keep it down love birds! Some of us are trying to sleep!" She yells I laugh into Drake's chest. 
                          
"Sorry Mandy!" I yell laughing. Drake carries me bridal style to the bed and lays me down. He climbs in next to me and brings the blanket over us. He leans up slightly on his arm and hovers over me from the side. 
                          
"Good night angel." He says and leans down giving me a passionate kiss. Afterwards he lays back down and I lay on his chest. 
                          
"I love you Drake." I say quietly. 
                          
"I love you too Aubrey." He says and kisses my fore head. I smile and fall asleep to the wonderful scent of my amazing mate.

Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter. I am going to try and do another one up before Friday but I am not sure. This Friday I am going to the dentist and they are going to be taking out all four of my wisdom teeth. I am freaking out considering I have never had to have anything done to me teeth except for the cleaning and stuff but I have never had like a cavity so I am very scared. Well I have to go it is kinda late but I am hoping to get my other stories updated too. Bye guys!
