[color=F7941D]“Oh, so that’s why I felt like I needed to ask his permission to date you.”[/color] I say, cracking a joke before I squeeze her leg lightly with a sheepish smile. [color=F7941D]“I like you too and I’m glad that the important people in my life - Jane, Kat, my dad - like you too. It helps me feel like I’ve made a really good choice in asking you out.”[/color] [hr][hr] [hr][hr] [center][h1][color=#9B111E]Nero[/color][/h1] [img]https://i.ibb.co/XbVC138/Nero-Banner-2.png[/img] [hr] [b][color=#9B111E]Location:[/color][/b] Caden’s Home - Chicago, IL [b][color=#9B111E]Skills:[/color][/b] [url=https://pin.it/d2Bv9RVVx]Fit[/url][/center] [hr][hr] My eyes widen, even though I could guess what he was going to say. I swallow, suddenly feeling like my mouth is drier than it’s ever been. [color=#9B111E]“But…”[/color] I don’t know why I’m trying to find an excuse that he shouldn’t pick me, but I feel like I’m the wrong choice. I close my eyes for a moment, needing to concentrate to tell myself not to immediately think I’m not worth enough to date Caden, let alone be his mate. [color=#9B111E]“I… don’t know what to say…”[/color] I say, finally opening my eyes to look back at Caden’s. I bite my lip, not knowing how to tell Caden that somehow, I [i]want[/i] to be his mate. [color=#9B111E]“Is that… okay? For me to be your mater?”[/color] [hr][hr]
