Justin noted that Jared did indeed lean away from him. Point for him. He had been right in his observations and thus assumption. The man was indeed nervous and uncomfortable around him. Which brought about the question of why? Why did the man feel such nervousness around him? Sure he was Gypsyâ€™s mate. Sure he was ex-military and knew how to kill a man with his bare hands. Sure he knew numerous ways to kill someone and make it look like an accident. Yet he would never use those methods on someone Gypsy valued. He would protect her from anyone though even those Gypsy held close. Reason being she was his mate and protecting her and her happiness meant more to him than what could possibly happen as a result of that protection. His nervousness had his wolf internally growling as a way of letting the threat know there was no way he would let him do something stupid. However, his wolves internal unrest did not show or express itself through his features or his voice.<br/><br/>He listened as Jared started speaking. â€œI promise you I will take care of Gypsy. It is a promise that will not be taken nor will it change...sir.â€ he said. Slipping into military way for a second. Watching as Jared leaned in and began whispering. He nodded his head and began analyzing the comments Jared had said. Yes. That explained Jaredâ€™s nervousness. For some reason and some how there was a threat towards Gypsyâ€™s safety and life. The who, what, when, where and why were completely unknown. He looked at him. â€œIf she disappeared there would be no place on Earth I would not check. There would be no safe place for someone to take her and hide her away. I would track them down and deal with them without mercy.â€ He said in a soft voice. â€œI can tell by your words there is danger towards Gypsyâ€™s safety. What I will tell you is anyone stupid enough to hurt Gypsy will face the wrath of a military wolf. No questions asked.â€<br/><br/>He looked towards the direction Gypsy was in for a moment then looked back to Jared. â€œI will do everything in my power to keep her with me. Nothing will stop me from keeping my mate at my side. Nothing...and no one.â€ he said gravely. Blinking as Jared got up quickly. Instinctively following suit. Looking towards the direction he was looking in just in time to see Gypsy go into the kitchen. Nodding his head and smirked a bit. It was amusing as Gypsy had obviously smelled something that had caught her attention. â€œIâ€™ll go get her. Sit back down.â€ He said as he walked towards the kitchen. He was amused by Gypsyâ€™s antics. He knew Fredrick wouldnâ€™t be as amused but the man was harmless.<br/><br/>He entered the kitchen to see Gypsy drooling over the cake that was just two seconds ago pulled out of the oven. He walked up behind Gypsy. Wrapping his arms around her, one at her waist and the other over her arm, and took the dessert from her hands. Putting it back on the counter. He looked to Fredrick. â€œForgive my mate Fredrick. She obviously finds your cooking fabulous. Iâ€™ll take her out of here. Smells delicious as always sir.â€ He said. Pulling Gypsy into his chest. â€œCome on Gypsy. Dinner first than you can chow down on the cake. He turned her to face him. Grabbing ahold of her legs and wrapped them around his waist. A hand on her back and an arm under her butt. He then walked them out of the kitchen.<br/><br/>Taking her all the way back to the table that way. He held her like she was precious and delicate. To him he enjoyed her in his arms. He slowly lowers her legs from behind him and sat her in the booth. Pushing the chair in and nudged her over. Sitting next to her in the booth and grabbed his root beer. He looked at her then watched a waiter bring out their main course. He smiled at the teenager and nodded his head. â€œThank you.â€ He said. Then looked at Jared then Gypsy. Waving his hand in front of Gypsyâ€™s face. â€œCome on beautiful...time to eat. Sooner you chow down on the food the sooner you can chow down on that cake that is cooling in the kitchen.â€ He smiled. A hand going to her leg and captured her hand. Holding it lightly as his thumb stroked the back of her hand. Then he let it go and began to chow down. Felt like forever since he had eaten. Enjoying the taste of the cheese fries.
