Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 40. My love

~ Olivia

“C'mon Skyle,” I said as I stared at his grinning face.

“Lets hang up. I mean you are right here in front of me and yet you are calling me on the phone,” I added.

“Don't hang up, Liv. It’s much fun talking this way.” Skyle said.

“Hmm… okay,” I said.

“So… what will you save my number with?” He asked.

“Skyle of course,” I replied.

“Hmm… just Skyle?” He said with a sly grin on his face.

“And I have a name in mind. Something better, more intimate” He added.

I blushed, avoiding his gaze and looking down at the ground. “What could that be?” I asked.

“Look at me and then I will tell you,” He said.

I looked at him reluctantly and asked, “What?”

“My love.” He said smiling.

“Skyle.” I groaned as I hung up.

“You are so silly,” I added, rolling my eyes for good measure.

“Why did you hang up? I was having so much fun.” He said, pouting.

“Don’t you like the name I mentioned?”

He asked.

“Hmm… I like it. But can you handle Josh? He will be so jealous that I now have another best friend aside from him,” I said as I unlocked my phone to save his number.

“Hmm. Then Josh will be your number one best friend and then I will come second. That’s fair right?” He said smiling.

I also smiled at him and then showed him my phone. I saved his number with the name “My Love” and he was all over the moon. He carried me up and then ran around in a circle.

“Stop, Skyle!! I’m feeling dizzy!” I yelled, laughing.

He didn't stop, instead, he ran faster.

"I might puke all over you if you don't stop this instant.

With comical speed, he stopped and put me down, holding my hands so that I wouldn't fall.

“Thank you so much for being my friend Skyle," I said lovingly.

“I should be the one thanking you, Liv. You are such a wonderful soul. And it was really nice meeting you.” He said as he placed a kiss on my forehead.

“What on earth are you doing, Skyle?” Josh screamed from afar while holding Gwen’s hand.

They both ran to us panting, Josh pulling Gwen along as she laughed. "You are taking advantage of her, right?” Josh said as he confronted Skyle.

Gwen and I burst into laughter. Skyle also joined in while Josh looked so confused.

“Why are you laughing?” He asked.

Then I turned to Gwen, “He must have shown you this side of him, hasn't he?” I asked.

“Oh yes, he has. He glowered at the ice cream boy for giving me a double scoop on the house.” She said teasingly.

“You still have a long way to go with your innocent mate. He lived with his grandparents for a few years and so, intimacy between friends always seems weird to him. As a result of that, he's extremely overprotective. I hope you understand him," I said teasingly.

“Of course I do. He already showed that side of him to me a few minutes ago.” Gwen said, smiling.

“What side?” Josh asked, looking lost.

“C’mon friend. Forehead kisses among friends are nothing to worry about. Relax, okay.” Skyle said to him.

“Is that true, Liv? He wasn’t doing anything bad right?” He asked me.

“Relax Josh," I said, smiling.

Just then, the fireworks party came to an end and we cheered alongside the crowd.

Just then, a dark Porsche car drove closer to us and an old man alighted from it bowing slightly to Skyle.

“My driver is here.” He said.

“I need to go back to the palace.” He added.

“Thanks for today, Skyle,” Gwen said.

Josh and I also bid him goodbye and we watched as the car sped off and was no more in our sights.

As Skyle's car disappeared from view, Josh turned to Gwen with a teasing grin, "Forehead kisses among friends, huh? I see how it is."

Gwen chuckled and playfully bumped Josh's shoulder, "Oh, don't be jealous. You'll always be my number one best friend."

Skyle's playful antics had lightened the mood, and we all began to head back to where we had parked the car. As we walked, I couldn't help but think about the growing bond between Skyle and me. He had a way of making me smile and forget about my troubles.

Josh, on the other hand, looked thoughtful. He glanced at me and then at Gwen, who was happily chatting away. He finally spoke up, "You know, Gwen, I think we need a special nickname for us too."

Gwen raised an eyebrow, "A nickname? Like what?"

Josh grinned, "Well since Skyle and Liv have their 'forehead kiss' thing, how about we come up with our own unique nickname?"

Gwen laughed, "Josh, you're such a romantic. But sure, I'm open to ideas. What do you have in mind?"

Josh put his arm around her shoulders and said, "How about 'Partner in Crime'? We can be each other's partner in crime through life."

Gwen smiled and leaned into Josh's embrace, "I love it. 'Partner in Crime' it is."

“Eww, take it easy on me lover birds,” I said and rolled my eyes at them, still smiling.

Just then my phone rang, it's Logan.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
