Chapter 468: Stranger in our home

Darrien

Jabi thinks I invited the guy over because I am interested in him making a friend but that is not the case right now. I do want Jabi to have friends. I want him to have a life outside our relationship but I don’t think that person is this Lenny guy. I don’t trust the guy and I have good instincts when it comes to things like this.

So maybe this is me doing the whole ’Keep your enemies closer’ thing but I just want to get to know him. Find out what his deal is.

Why he is so interested in Jabi.

I am not saying that I don’t think Jabi is worth it but it all seems a little too weird that he just happened to be so interested in him in such a short time and I want to find out why.

I am giving my link the opportunity to be free outside my reigns but I also want to be able to protect him. The doorbell rings and Jabi jumps up from the chair, I see the excitement in his eyes as he looks at me.

"He is here,’’ he tells me.

I nod with a smile because I like seeing him with this expression. The joy, the happiness for something other than me. I want him to have more of these feelings and it might be the only reason why I would do this again in a heartbeat.

"You should answer it,’’ I nudge towards the door and I notice that his hands are trembling. There is no way that he isn’t nervous. Jabi is a very shy person. Making friends is going to be very difficult for him but I believe in him and I know that he can do it. I walk over to him and grab his hand in mine.

Lenny’s scent is strong outside the apartment. It is almost like he is looming over our lives and I feel disaster coming. I know it is too soon and I am just assuming but there is a reason why I don’t like him. I wasn’t jealous when I saw Jabi with him earlier. this is not about jealousy. there is something else that I haven’t figured out yet and I just want to know what it is.

’’Answer it, we will do it together, ’’ I say calmly. He just looks at me and I know that he is happy about this. I only want to make him happy. That is the only reason why I am agreeing to this in the first place.

I would rather he hang out with the guy when I am there than alone. At least until I am sure that he is not dangerous. If he is dangerous, then we will cross that bridge when we get there.

We walk to the door together and he opens it immediately. Lenny is on the other side of the door and he is smiling. Jabi stares down at him and I notice the way that his hands are shaking.

"Hi,’’ Jabi greets him. His voice is shaking as well.

Lenny smiles slower and he gets a little closer. "So, can I come in?’’ he asks calmly. there is a smile on his face, almost like he is enjoying this a little too much.

I move aside and he walks into the house "The call came as a surprise, I thought your boyfriend didn’t want you hanging out with me,’’ he adds as he walks further into the house.

"He didn’t say that,’’ Jabi responds and I watch them because I am curious about this guy. I need to know what his deal is and so far, I don’t know yet.

"Oh, ’’Lenny starts, "So you don’t mind me being friends with Jabi?’’ he directs his question at me.

I shake my head because for now, I am for what Jabi wants and he wants to be friends with this guy.

"Do you guys have anything to drink in this house?’’ he asks.

He is looking at me.

I smile and I nod. Jabi is beginning to relax and I can see it in his eyes. He feels a little more comfortable being in this guy’s presence.

"Sure, I will go get you guys something to drink,’’ I tell him and head over to the kitchen. Jabi doesn’t drink so whatever I am getting is only for him. I grab a bottle of red wine from the fridge and walk out of the kitchen with a glass. Lenny is seated on the couch and Jabi is on the one-seater. They both look up when I walk in and Jabi smiles at me warmly.

"So, Jabi was telling me that you are his mate,’’ Lenny says as I give him the glass and help him pour some wine into his drink.

I nod but remain quiet.

"How did that happen?’’ he adds in question.

I furrow my brows in confusion "How did what happen?’’

"You and him. A vampire and a werewolf."

I understand why that will be a topic of conversation. Our relationship is not regular and whenever people like us come across this, they will always question it.

"It just happened. nothing you need to concern yourself with," I tell him and I know I am being harsh. I don’t like this one bit but I already promised to be open to their friendship, so I have to give this a chance.

"I should leave you two to hang out. I will be in the room,’’ I tell Jabi and he follows me as I walk out of the living room. He grabs my hand in the hallway to the bedroom and whispers "You seem upset,’’ he points out.

I shake my head "No I am not. Go on, have fun, get to know him. I will be inside if you need me.’’

He looks at me hesitantly but I lean forward and press my lips to his to clear all the doubt in his mind. I don’t want him to think that I am not happy about this because I want him to be happy.

That is all I live for.
