Chapter 14: Should I Do That For You?
[GABE]
'Is Tamiko a strong mate?' Gabe wondered as he remembered his father's words. It all just didn't make any sense to him and the more he thought about it, the more he thought he would go cay, but maybe just for the night, he would try to bond, right?
But how was he supposed to bond with Tamiko when the man hated all of him? But could Tamiko be blamed though?
Well, that didn't matter to him, because as he had promised himself, he would take care of his mate, even if his mate was Tamiko. Granted, he knew that he would face so many challenges, given their relationship, but Gabe knew things always happened for a reason.
His eyes had softened and his heart was broken when he found his mate. Gabe had tried to drink himself silly at the party, something that had gotten him worried. But then again, Gabe never got drunk, no matter how many bottles of alcohol and wine he chugged down.
It was almost like he was immune to the intoxication, and since he never wanted his friends to know about it, he had always pretended to be drunk. Though tonight, he wished he could get really intoxicated. Maybe then he would get the liquid courage to face his new mate.
"It's late, Tamiko, you need to get some rest," Gabe said and this time, Tamiko let out an actual scoff. This man couldn't be serious, could he? Had he really forgotten that Tamiko's little cabin was destroyed by him and his friends?
Was he really that quick to forget that the orphaned outcast was without a home and that this hall, however cold it would get, was the only place that Tamiko could lay his head in the cold night?
"Go away... Leave me alone, will you?" Tamiko said as he hugged the coat that Danny had given him. Now that he was using it, Tamiko was thankful that his best friend had forced him into the clothes because he could have frozen his ass to death out there.
