And Then There Were Four

"You don't look too happy to see me," he replied, his smile forming into a playful frown.

"I'm tired and have a headache," I mumbled, trying not to seem as annoyed as I was. It wasn't that he was annoying me. I simply just had no interest in that particular moment to be entertained by him. Even if he was absolutely delicious to look at. There was a twinkle in his eyes as his smile grew again. "Hangovers are never any fun."

"I'm not hungover-"

"Yes, you are," Sansa replied, causing me to shoot her a daggered glare that made her smile. "Don't look at me like that, it's the truth."

Maybe I was slightly hungover, but I didn't need people pointing it out. Turning my gaze back to Silas, I sighed. "Did you need something, Silas?"

Hesitation twinkled behind gaze. He did want something, and the fact he did made me nervous. He didn't seem like the kind of man who calmly asked for things. At least not to someone like me.

"Actually, I wanted to see if you would have dinner with me."

Sansa went into a coughing fit, drawing both mine and Silas' attention as well as a few people sitting near us. Patting on her chest, her eyes wide she quickly took a sip of her drink and gave me a sheepish grin. "Sorry, that went down wrong."

I wasn't stupid. The only reason why she choked was because Silas asked me out, and looking at him now, I could see he was dead serious with his question. "Didn't last night warn you about being around me?"

Laughter left him as he shook his head. "You mean the overgrown dog with a territory issue? I'm not worried about him."

It was my turn to laugh as I thought of Lucas as an overgrown dog. I couldn't get upset at Silas cracking a joke. Lucas did act a little crazy last night, but it didn't make accepting Silas' offer easier. "Can I think about it? Right now, my head is killing me."

Silas seemed genuinely taken back

by my question of whether or not I

could think about going out with him. Which meant he more or less was used to people accepting right away Too bad for him, I wasn't easily swayed, and as he went to

open his mouth, Pollux decided to

join in on our conversation.

His egotistical smirk bounded up right next to my table as he clasped a hand on Silas' shoulder with a smile. "Hey, we're getting ready to head out... are you coming?"

Not surprised by the fact Pollux had made friends with Silas or any of the other Alpha males around this place, I rolled my eyes and laughed. "Looks like you better get going. My brother has plans with you."NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

"Am I missing something?" Pollux snapped as he glared at me.

"Nope, nothing at all." My reply was more than sarcastic, and my brother knew it. He stared at me for a moment longer before Silas

straightened himself and turno net

The tension in the air was strong, and as Silas said a few whispered words to my brother, I watched them both quickly disappear.

Whatever it was Silas said was enough to make my brother ease up, but I knew the conversation wasn't over. At least not for now. Pollux had a way of making things difficult, and if he knew I slept with Lucas or that Silas was asking me out, well, we can just say he would flip his shit.

Because no matter the issues we had, he was damn sure not happy about me having a mate before him-let alone a friend with benefits.
