• 'Rukeya I know that he is an amazing guy but we're not sure if he is our mate, I think we should wait. Just until you come of age in November. Please don't make any rash decisions like marrying him!'
• Ja'el pleaded with me but I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Our mate? And I was waaaaay too intrigued by Manny to really listen to her. Did he just say that he loves me?! Whaaaaaaat!? I'm freaking flabbergasted that this mountain of a man loves me, ME! I nodded my head excitedly and hugged him so tight, happy tears free flowing down my face. He chuckled near my ear and held me snug to him, it was so surreal! I've finally found a guy that loved me for me! I was truly grateful and I had an awesome way to finally show my appreciation.
