Tasting All My Mates

405-Cursed Feelings.

Christina and I spoke for hours before we finally went to bed. I had to sleep on

the couch because Lazio was occupying the entire bed. The instant I closed my

eyes, my story in the dream world began.

Every night when I go to bed, I see my mate in my dreams. I see my Thiago!

He would only smile at me and never approach. I would be standing beside him,

staring at him with hope-filled eyes.

I woke up before everyone and headed straight to the kitchen to prepare

breakfast. I had a lot of dishes to prepare now that we had guests.

I was busy preparing the sandwiches when I couldn’t help but feel like I was

being watched. Upon turning around, I found Maynard standing at the door.

Time seemed to have passed for a minute before I gave him a smile and looked

ahead instantly.

“Morning!” he said, walking into the kitchen and standing beside me. He was

towering over me, wearing a black shirt and black shorts.

“Morning! How are you?” I asked, trying to sound casual.

“I am good. What about you?” he asked in return. “You have been very silent.

how I have changed in the course of only two years.

“People change,” I shrugged as I continued to cook for them.
