Tasting All My Mates

289 After So Long

After I told Corbin I was ready to accept him as my mate, he told the cops that he needed time alone with me. Being in a car with him after so long and not fighting was so awkward.

“I know it is not easy for you to be in the same car as me, but I promise to make new memories with you.” Corbin seemed pretty relieved. He had been smiling and making promises left and right when I had made it clear to him that accepting him didn‘t mean I was going to give him a chance. He wanted to win me over. He can try, but that doesn‘t mean I will fall for him again.

“I will be fine here,” I said while getting out of the car and staring at my home. Not exactly my home, but somewhere I lived and thought they were my family

“I will walk you in,” he suggested, and even though I shook my head to dismiss his idea, he walked out of the car to accompany me. I was the one who rang the bell. I could have gone with him to his mansion as he suggested, but I would rather be here than with him in his mansion. It is not like I accepted him out of my free will.

“Will you ever pay attention to the door? I cannot do everything myself,” I heard Vinona complain as she opened the door. She had to blink her eyes just to make sure she was seeing me there.

“What in the world are you doing here again?” Not even a welcome. That is how much she disliked me.

“Unfortunately, it is still my home.” I rolled my eyes at her, shocking her with my attitude.

“Look at you. I thought you would learn something from your time at the academy. It seems like they only made you worse.” She forced her body weight onto her one leg and crossed her arms over her chest to scan me.

“Well, nobody can mend what‘s not broken.” I shrugged my shoulders, trying to walk past her when she blocked my way.
