The miracle mate

The next morning, she was in the shower singing when I woke up, drenched again and afraid. I sighed. I felt so very tired to have nightmares night after night after night.

I ran my hand through my hair, untying it. I brushed it and braided it. I started the breakfast and Mary came in the kitchen with my bath towel wrapped around her. 

« You could use the one I bought for you for when you come visit you know. »

« But what fun will it be?! And besides, you took the good one. This one is fluffier and softer than the one you bought me. You always keep the nice things to yourself!!! »

« It's true.. I'll come and get one like mine before my shift tonight. »

« Thanks my love! Ohhh it smells so good in there, what are you making? I never eat in the morning but I'll make an exception today. »

« I'm making an omelette with bacon, cheese and shallots. And coffee, lots of coffee. »

« Jeez, my mouth is watering! I'll do us some coffees before I put on my uniform! »

She put some horrible girly music in my kitchen's speaker. I pout and change it for some rock. She likes all genres of music, so she signs and dance anyway, not minding my depressed mood at all. After handing me my coffee, she goes in my room, still signing. 

It won't be so bad being with her again. She just needs to keep her love life outside of my apartment. She tends to have some dramatics ending with her partners, and rotate them a lot. She is beautiful, but I think that deep down she is searching for her mate. She stills have hope. It's a good quality. One I don't share with her. I know we are doomed, we fucked up too much. 

After the breakfast, she goes to work, leaving me alone. I decide to go to the gym, I needed to work out my muscles and clear my head. I put some loud heavy metal, enough to make me deaf, and go lift some iron. 

Maxwell was there. He made a bargain with the human owner to train the ones that wanted or needed to, no matter what they were. He's a very kind and soft male, and also very skilled. He trained me after Cairn, when I lost myself. He helped me finding me again. He was in dark affairs for a long while, and then he lost his daughter and his mate because of his shenanigans. It broke him all the way through and he changed. A lot. He was one of the lasts of his generation. One that had a mate. 

« Hey, Aleena! How are you? »

« I'm okay, what about you Max? Long time no see! »

« Yeah. A friend needed me, I was off the grid for a while. I'm happy to see you! You look horrible, like always. »

I laughed. He knew about my poor sleep and my shitty job. Better be honest. 

« Yeah I know. Hey, are you free to train with me a bit? I need to blow off some steam. »

« Yeah I am! Go drink some water and meet me in the back. »

I do as he says, and brace myself. He was kind, yes, but he was also merciless. I needed that today. 

He started with a warm-up. Well he said that it was a warm-up, but at the end of the third set of laps, push-ups, sit ups and power squat, my tongue reached the floor. He then proceeded to revisit the basics. He always said that we needed a good foundation to have a house that will go through the years. 

Then, we fought. My speed and my strength were impressive, but somewhat no match for the big mountain of muscles in front of me. He was so sleek. He was there one moment and gone the moment after. It was almost like a dance, and he certainly was the master of it. 

At the end of the training, I was so parched and tired, that I didn't even stretch before heading to my apartment. I went directly in the shower, and then devoured some random things waiting in the fridge.

I tried to take a nap, without any success, so I started a new book. 

Hours passed, and Mary texted me that she will go see Valentina and then make a bag to bring here. She also added that she won't bring her in my apartment, and wished me a good night at work. 

Right, I forgot... Work. I needed to take care of Andrew, I was so over him asking me to work on Saturday. It was the ONLY day I asked for each year. I never complain, never ask for sick days or days off. I always say yes when he ask me to work last minute. 

I dressed myself in comfy clothes, made my bag and headed to work. I was early, but I really wanted to speak to Andrew. I was relieved when I saw his car in the parking lot of the club. I went inside, and knocked on the door of his office. 

« Come in »

When I entered, I immediately saw Maïa on her knees beside Andrew. He had his head resting on his office chair, eyes closed. The only thing I saw was Maïa head, going up and down and up and down, taking all of the length of Andrew's dick deep in her throat with some guttural sounds. I should be surprised, but the truth is I'm not.

« What do you want? »

Looking anywhere but him, I try to focus on my mission.

« I wanted to tall to you about next Saturday »

« Ah! Yes! Maïa, pack you shit and get out. Bring that mouth of yours in ten. »

Taking a breath, she stand up on wobbly legs. She is clearly stoned. She adjust her bra strap and stagger to the door, wiping her mouth with her hand and closing the door behind her.

« Look, I really need you to work Saturday. »

« But I asked for it like three months in advance and I never take days off Andrew. »

« Yeah, well, business is business. I do want to warn you Aleena. If you are not to come next Saturday, you won't have a job to come back too. »

I was stunned. And honestly, I couldn't afford to loose my job. And he knew it. He knew he had the upper hand, and it disgusted me. I turned to get out when he suddenly added.

« But, we could make an arrangement. »

I turned slowly.

« What kind of arrangement? »
