Mates with Alpha Maddox

Chapter 32: 32

Jayda's POV

Ian, Maddox and I had just finished our starters and were now looking at the burger menus.

"I think I will have the bacon Cheese burger" I say to Isabella and she writes it down on her pad.

"You?" She asks Ian.

"I'll have the extra extra big hamburger, with Tomatoes, lettuce and onions. No mustard" Ian says, looking at Isabella with a smile.

He grins at him before realizing she is smiling at him and puts on a blank face.

"What would you like?" She asks nodding at Maddox.

"I would like a chicken sandwich with lettuce and mayo" Maddox says, his voice polite like always. He needs to loosen up.

"Okay, your orders will be right up" Isabella smiles brightly at us then walks through a door into the diners kitchen.

"Its weird" I start, catching both Ian and Maddox's attention. "None of the other waitresses walk into the kitchen they just leave their orders to the lady at counter but Isabella keeps going to the kitchen every time. She is probably also helping the cooks inside. Nice girl" I say giving Ian a grin. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"She said I had an STD" Ian says with a scowl.

Rolling my eyes I say "You need to give her time Ian, she is just a little...mad. You'll see before you know it Isabella will be accepting your bond and you guys will be having pups"

"I have a feeling it wont be that easy" Ian sighs.

"It won't be. Have you met your mate? She hates your guts" Maddox says, I glare at him but he only shrugs as if saying 'what? Its true'

Giving Maddox a glare I say "she doesn't hate you. She just dislikes you at the moment"

Ian runs his hands through his hair in an exasperated way. "I don't even know why I am doing this, she wont forgive me"

I put my hand on top of Ian's and was about to tell him not to give up but Maddox quickly grabs my hand and holds it in his while glaring at me.

I glare back. "Maddox I am trying to be a supportive friend" I say calmly.

"Be a supportive friend without touching him" Maddox says with a scowl. I decide to just ignore him.

"Ian, I told you its not going to be easy but whatever you need Maddox and I will be there for you" I say with a small smile and Maddox raises an eyebrow at me.

"Yes you too, Ian is your friend too" I say with a pointed look.

"Friend is a strong word" Maddox mutters taking a sip of his soda.

Ian fake pouts "Maddox how dare you, we are besties" he jokes but you can see in his eyes he is still sad.

Maddox rolls his eyes and ignores Ian.

"Oh Ian, I forgot to ask you. Is there going to be oreo pie at the BBQ?" I ask.

"I don't think so. Why?" He asks.

I pout "I wanted oreo pie, I haven't had it in ages"

"I'll get you some tomorrow" Maddox says.

"Thanks!" I beam at him and kiss his cheek.

"Yeah yeah" he says then drinks some more of his soda.

"So, how are you going to win your mate back?" I ask, taking a sip from Maddox coke because I already drank all of my sprite.

"I honestly have no idea, she is not like I remember. I mean I see her frequently but I had never spoken to her since the rejection. I thought she was going to be the sweet girl I met 7 years ago with that being said I don't know how to get the new her to give me another chance" Ian says, looking defeated.

"Ian, all you have to do is show her you are no longer the guy who will hurt her. Show her you can be her dream guy! Earn her trust and don't give up" I say looking at him in the eye, he nods.

"So anyways, I'm so sad. Tomorrow is our last day here" I say with a pout.

"Yeah I know, it sucks. You know you guys could stay longer if you'd like" Ian says but Maddox quickly turns him down with a "No, thank you. We have a pack that we need to get back to"

"Yeah, we need to go back. But you and Isabella can come visit anytime" I say.

Ian gets a mischievous look in his eyes then asks "Can Anna come too? I'm sure she would love to"

I glare at him and Maddox rolls his eyes.

Ian winks at me then takes a sip of his coke.

"They are taking so long, that bowl of chili wasn't enough! I'm starving" Maddox says moodily.

"Stop over reacting Maddox, it hasn't been that long" I point out and he just crosses his arms.

About 10 minutes later, Isabella comes back with our orders.

"Anything else I can get you guys?" Isabella asks after setting the food at the table.

"Faster service, maybe even a new waitress" Maddox says, his voice serious.

Isabella laughs a little until she sees Maddox's serious expression. "Wait, you're serious?"

"Of course I am serious. My food took forever and all you have done while attending us is treat Ian poorly. You should actually be fired, you suck at your job" Maddox says looking at her straight in the eye.

"Leave her the fuck alone Maddox, the place is full what did you expect?" Ian says glaring at Maddox.

"I expected good service" Maddox says shrugging his shoulders and popping a french fry into his mouth.

"She is doing a good job, stop being an ass" Ian snaps.

"Your opinion is biased" Maddox says, I elbow him and he looks at me with an innocent grin. "Yes Jayda?"

"Isabella is right there! Stop being rude!" I hiss turning to Isabella I then say "Forgive him, he has been under a lot of stress lately"

She shrugs but glares at Maddox, he just raises an eyebrow at her.

"Can you please refill my sprite?" I ask Isabella and she nods leaving the coming back with a jar with sprite in it.

"Thanks" I say as she fills my cup.

"No problem, anything else?" Isabella asks,

"Nope, thanks" Ian says smiling brightly at her.

As soon as Isabella leaves Ian's smile drops and he scowls at Maddox. "Why the hell did you treat my mate like that?" He snaps.

"I was just pointing out that we were getting terrible service" Maddox shrugs, taking a huge bite out of his burger without a care in the world.

"No you were being an ass" Ian says.

Maddox sighs, rolling his eyes "You are so damn dramatic"

"You think I am being dramatic? You insulted my mate" Ian seethes.

Maddox eyes Ian with amusement "I did no such thing"

"I am done. Whatever Maddox. How can you handle him Jayda? He is such an ass" Ian says, the scowl still on his face.

"Awwwn c'mon Ian, Maddox is sorry. Right babe?" I say looking at Maddox.

"Right..." Maddox trails off.

"Okay guys lets just eat, I'm hungry" I say taking the first bite of my burger.

So good.

"This is delicious" I say taking another bite.
