I chuckled before dark thoughts sneaked their way through my mind once again. I sighed. “He probably has a harem hidden deep away in his pack.”
“Ivy, Ivy, are we jealous again?”
“I’m not jealous of his girls!” I hissed, shutting the book and shoving it under the bed before the temptation to peek made me cheat.
“Yet you still felt the need to comment on it.”
True.
“I bet green looks good on you,” he pressed teasingly.
“Hush. So how’s your mate?” I asked, switching gears. He didn’t call me out for it—thankfully.
“Weeell, she’s the most breath-stealing girl out there.”
I smiled at that, leaning back on the bed. “You mean breathtaking?”
“Yep. One look at her and,whoosh, breath gone. She’s got these stunning, ocean-blue eyes that I could just drown in, and I’d die happy. And her hair reminds me of autumn. My favorite season.”
Autumn was my favorite, too!
And my eyes were blue.
Did my mate also think of the ocean when he saw mine?
“I didn’t know you were such a poet,” I taunted, trying to ignore the pinch of jealousy at how sweet he was with his mate. “Drowning happily isn’t something to joke about, Rudy. People can really drown.”
“Good thing we aren’t people, then. She’s also the smartest person I’ve ever met. Do you know that she’s also studying to be a doctor, just like you?”
I scoffed.A doctor. Please.
“Correction, dear Rudolph, I’m not studying to be adoctor. I’m going to be a neurosurgeon.”
I wasn’t trying to be full of myself, but doctors only had to study for six years, while I had another five of joy and back-breaking books. “Big difference, you know.”
“Same, same.” He chuckled, and I imagined an evil smirk on his face. “So…what are you gonna do about your mate?”
“What do you think?” I puffed out my cheeks and slowly let the air escape through my pursed lips. “If I reject him?—”
“Definitely don’t reject him!”
“Calm down, Rudy! Since when are you such a paladin of mates?”
“Since I met mine,” he deadpanned.
I glanced at the call’s timer—two hours and thirteen minutes. “Does your mate know how much time you spend talking to me?”
“She doesn’t mind. She’s very open-minded, Bunny Doc.”
I stretched my arms above my head. “What’s her name?”
The question wasn’t supposed to be a hard one. For Rudy, however, it seemed it was.
“She’s called, err,amazing.”
“Amazing?” I tilted my head.
“Yeah. I mean, she’s not amazing, but her name is. I mean, her name is as amazing as she is.”
