My Mate Is Seeing Someone Else novel Chapter 42

Once, Ash turned around I ran into the closet picking out a pair of skinny jeans, a white tank top, with pink/salmon color cardigan, and a pair of dark brown heels. I walked out fully clothed to find Ash sitting on the couch watching 'What not to Wear'. When she noticed I was there she turned the TV off and jumped up.

"So what are we doing today? John said you had something planned."

She gave me this devilish smile, "We are going shopping!" she screamed.

I groaned. Don't get me wrong, I love to shop. I just don't like shopping with Ash. She goes in for one thing and comes out with like forty bags and makes you carry them.

"Oh don't complain, we are Christmas shopping," She said clapping her hands together.

"Oh my god, I completely forgot about Christmas shopping."

With everything that has been going on I never even thought about the holidays. Ash laughed and pulled me all the way to the garage; shoving me in her car.

~ Mall~

We had gone into every store and tried on I think about every outfit in Hollister and drove the saleswoman in Coach crazy.

"Did you see her face when we told her we were interested in buying? I thought her eyes would pop out of her head," Ash said cracking up laughing.

We decided to stop at Friendly's for waffle fries and an ice cream sundae. I laughed with her and people at the other booths and tables gave us weird looks as if we were on drugs or something. When the waiter came with our sundae he gave us the same look as everyone else, and walked away. I looked at Ash and we both started laughing again. Once we settled down, we started to dig in.

"So what did you get John?"

"I'm not telling," I said smirking at her knowing she hates not knowing everything and anything about everyone.

She glared at me.

"What did you get Anthony?" I asked smiling at her.

"You tell me first."

"Guess you're won't know until John does," I told her taking a sip of my drink.

I give it...One, two, three.....

"Fine! I got him this sliver watch that has the day I told him I was his mate engraved on the back of it."

I laughed at her. She looked like a kid waiting to receive a birthday gift.

"What did you get him? What did you get him?" She asked jumping up and down on her side of the booth.

I laughed, "I got him something he will like very much."

"I got him a picture frame with a picture of me and him together, along with a silver pocket watch to replace his old one that broke."

She awed and took another huge scoop of ice cream. Once we finished eating we went back to the pack house and hung out in Ash and Anthony's room. We watched all whole Twilight Saga movies, The Confessions of a Shopaholic, Lion King, and Ballet Shoes.

"So how has it been having Anthony back home?"

"Good," She said.

"Ash, what is wrong?"

Tears formed in her eyes and I scooted over to her on the couch giving her a hug.

"Don't cry what's wrong? Talk to me."

She wiped her tears away and cleared her throat.

"The day he came back Anthony told me that while at the training camp one of the female trainers kissed him," She stopped to take a breath and continued, "He told me that he kissed her back. I want to say I can forget it, but I can't. It hurts to know that he kissed her and that I feel like it will never be the same," she said crying into my arms.

It hurt to see Ash like this. I know how much it hurt to see John and Kalee together, but when you are mated it is different. When you are mated you have a special bond connecting you to each other. Thinking back if John were to kiss Kalee; I would feel the same way.

"It will be alright. Time heals all wounds," I whispered to her and she nodded her head.
