He got up took off his greasy blue shirt as he walked towards the bathroom. "Just wait here, I'm going to take a shower first," the bathroom door was slammed shut behind him before I could stop him.

A few minutes later he emerged from the bathroom with a short white towel wrapped dangerously low around his waist then he dissapeared into his room and came out wearing a pair of black pants and a tight fitted black shirt.

He quietly sat at the edge of the wooden coffee table. Even though nothing was being said, the air around us was stiffling. Aaron was the first to break the silence.

"Judging by the look on your face I'm guessing you just found out didn't you?" I stiffly nodded my head.

"That's why I didn't want to you to be my girlfriend yet. I wanted you to fall for me on your own. Sure we flirt every now and then but we never actually did anything past that. I did not want you to be forced to love me becuase of the power you have."

All the negative thoughts that was flowing through my mind vanished. "I was glad when I found out you were my mate but with this bond I feel like we're being forced to be together. All I wanted was us to fall in love naturally instead of it being forced,"

I nervously bit my lip as I shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch. "What about you?"

"Huh?"

"How did you feel about me before you knew I was your mate?" I watched him scratch the back of his head, "I loved you since the day we met" he laughed, "I fell for you the day when you saw me bleeding in the middle of the forest and you helped me," he touched my left cheek and I leaned into his touch, "even though I was in a lot of pain that day I still couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful you looked under the moonlight."

He gently kissed my lips, "I love you so much it pains me when I'm not with you," I smiled as I looked into his eyes. I was so shocked at his confession I forgot how to speak. All I could do was mutely nod my head as I smiled with joy. I wanted to tell him I felt the same way too, I wanted to express how much I had fell in love with on that day too and how long I waited for him to hear him say those words but for now all I could do was kiss him making sure to pour all my emotions into it since I was unable to say it.
