Tasting All My Mates by Alexis Dee

199- The Sick Mate

I didn’t speak to Lazlo after he hurt me with his lie. I get it; he wanted to be my one true mate, but the path he chose was utterly wrong and made me disgusted by his existence. He was aware of how I would feel when I heard a lie about my mate cheating on me; not any other mate, but Thiago. Yet he lied to me.

“Are you alright?” Thiago had been waiting for me at the breakfast table for some minutes, because I went out for a walk to ease my mind. It was just that I thought Lazlo was a true gentleman.

“I am fine.” I replied, not looking at Lazlo, who had his head down and his focus on his plate.

‘So, tonight is the drive-in theater.” Christina was always the loud one. She would only change her mood and attitude when it came down to her brother, who hadn’t even joined us today.

“Where is your brother?” Maynard asked what I wanted an answer for as well.

“I sent him the breakfast in the room.” Christina didn’t really explain why, as if she was trying to quickly change the subject.

“I am full.” Lazlo pushed his plate away and got up to leave. Everybody watched him because it was pretty clear something was up with him.

What is going on with him?” Thiago, who had no clue the person he was so concerned about was spreading lies against him, whispered into my ears.

“I don’t know. It must be something. We should leave him alone for some time. Everybody needs a moment for themselves,” I replied dryly, and saw Thiago frown at me.
