MISUNDERSTANDING

1669 Words
 After the phone call with Jordan, Annie couldn't stop smiling, she buttoned her denim shorts, looked in the mirror, satisfied with what she saw, she went out of the room to see Maggie waiting for her. They both left together in Maggie's car for the cinema. Jordan was in a foul mood the whole night as he escorted V to the cinema and they rented the whole VIP section to watch a movie he doesn't even remember it's name, just that he noticed the star casts were Rock Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. V was so irritated by his non attentiveness and his foul mood. After planning on how to walk the streets after the movies, Jordan's behavior annoyed her enough for her to decide they should go home. The moment they left the cinema, Jordan perceived Annie's scent, his eyes wandered over the small sea of people, and from the staircase where he and V stood, he instantly recognized the black haired beauty, who had her curly hair in a braided ponytail, wearing a black tube, denim shorts that stopped mid thigh, a T-shirt thrown lazily over her shoulder and black sandals. He swallowed an invisible lump as he drank her in. “What are you looking at?” V asks curiously, since she turned back to see Jordan wasn't coming down the stairs but looking at one particular direction. She followed the direction of his eyes to see a gorgeous African American girl with a familiar girl beside her who she recognized as Maggie, Mark's mate. She looked back at her brother again to see murderous intent flowing through his iris, so she looked back to the African American girl to see a guy put his hand round her neck. V's eyes widen as she realized something... ‘That must be his mate!' V pulled Jordan's arm “What are you standing there for?” She pulled him with her, released her Royal aura so everyone gave way to the 16yr old in a sundress, dragging a reluctant man behind her and most people recognized the two as the Lycan prince and princess. Four steps away from the duo, Maggie, Annie and Rick notice something wasn't right and out of instinct, gave way. But V who had a dazzling smile on her face stopped in front of them. Annie noticed that someone was staring at her but she didn't know where from. The moment Jordan and V got closer, she could feel a delicious thrill up her spine but this time it had a little danger alongside. “Hi I'm Victoria, just call me V.” Her eyes were trained on Annie as she said this as she brings her hand out for a handshake with a broad smile on her face. Confused, Annie looked at Maggie and Rick with uncertainty before shaking the teen's hands. “Hey V, I'm Annie.” After introducing, something pulled her to look at a pair of eyes glaring at her from behind V. She looked up and her eyes widen, she looked back at the teen before going up again to Jordan's furious eyes. ‘Uh uh' She figured out the relationship between the both. “Guessed you've met Jordan.” V adds. Annie nods, aware that most eyes were on her “Yeah.” Her voice is extremely low but with sensitive ears, the Lycans and werewolves heard it perfectly. “Ok. We're going to have dinner at a nearby restaurant and a walk after that, you wanna come?” The smile on her face non diminishing and completely ignoring the other two people. “I...” Annie wanted to reject but the murderous look on Jordan's face when her eyes met his made her change her words “Ok.” “Cool. Hey, Maggie right? You can come with us.” V finally acknowledged Maggie. “Yes, Princess.” Maggie replies with a low curtsey. V gave her a small smile “Just call me Victoria, Mark will be mad if he hears I made you go ahead with formalities. Let's go.” She turned to walk in front, Maggie followed right behind. Annie waved at Rick “Catch you later.” With a bewildered look on his face due to the familiarity at which the princess spoke with with Annie but he still nods and was about replying but he felt pressure and he turned to where the power was coming from and he locked eyes with the Lycan prince. He immediately looked away and bowed cause it is considered an act of challenge to look a direct line of royalty in the eye. Jordan snort disdainfully at him, eyed Annie before walking away, behind his sister and Maggie. Annie is confused due to how cold Jordan is to her but follows them nonetheless. They got to an Italian restaurant and settled down, Maggie and Annie beside each other, V and Jordan beside each other and Jordan diagonal of Annie. Out of the four, the only enthusiastic one was V. “So what do you want to eat?” She asks Annie while handing her the menu. “I'm not a picky eater or allergic to anything as of yet so you can make the choice.” She politely rejects. She's satisfied by Annie's answer “Ok.” She turns her head to Maggie “What of you?” Maggie gives a stiff smile “Anything's fine too.” V shrugs and scrolls through the menu “Waiter.” She softly calls but raises her fingers and snapped them and two waiters rushed to their table. “Good eve...” One of the waiters start but V interrupts. “A plate of Caponata, two lasagne dishes and one mushroom risotto, drink will be sweetened water and desserts will be dark chocolate florentines, chocolate and hazelnut meringue semifreddo, Espresso martini tiramisu and strawberry zabaglione.” She finishes, leaving Annie and Maggie with a dropped jaw at how fast and fluent she is in Italian food pronunciations. The waiters bow and leave. “So... Annie....” V starts her interrogation but Jordan stops her. “Can you just keep quiet?” He snaps at her, annoyed. Instead of getting mad, V smiled “No, I can't. You can leave if you want.” Jordan eyes her and to everyone's surprise, he stood up and to most people's shock, he dragged Annie with him. Annie stumbled a couple of times before she could walk straight, trying to keep up with Jordan who's holding her arm. He dragged her out of the restaurant, to the back of the restaurant before stopping, pushed her back against the wall and glared right at her. “Why are you...” Jordan swallowed her words when his mouth covered hers in an aggrieved, punishing, angry, dominated French kiss with his tongue down her throat and his hands holding her small face and hers covering his hands. The aggressive kiss tuned down after close to 3 minutes and they disengaged when half of Jordan's anger where dispelled by the kiss. Annie's lips hurt and are bright red and tender, any little thing now will cut her lips. She raised her glossy eyes to look at Jordan. She looked so innocent, cute, aggrieved and babyish that Jordan couldn't stay mad at her anymore. He hugged her to his chest and starts patting her hair “Shh baby, I'm sorry for biting your lips.” He dropped a small kiss on her hair as he continued petting her. Annie doesn't cry but hugs his waist firmly “Why were you mad at me?” She asks softly. Wanting to get angry and snap at her but her tiny aggrieved voice made him think otherwise. He hugged her tighter “Who asked you out to the movies?” His voice is soft too. “Maggie.” Came her reply. “Where's the guy from?” “Rick? We ran into him at the movies, sat together and on our way out was telling us about his girlfriend, and she's one of my friends.” “Oh.” Jordan realized that he misunderstood her. “I'm sorry, I was jealous when I saw his hand over your shoulder.” He tightens his hold on her Annie hugged him tighter too “I'm sorry.” She mutters. “Don't apologize, I should be the one apologizing. I thought I scared you away with what happened yesterday.” Annie blushed “You didn't.” Her voice is barely a whisper. Jordan takes in a whiff of her hair and closed his eyes in ecstasy. “Good, cause I plan to do more.” Annie turned crimson but luckily she's in his embrace and he can't see her. She hums in reply. Jordan smirks, still resting his jaw on her head and taking interval scents of his perfect mate. “I'll take that as a Yes and I want you to meet my family and I'm not taking excuses.” Annie freezes in his arms before slowly pulling away “Don't you think it's too soon?” She asks him unsure. “You haven't sorted your feelings for me, right?” He narrows his eyes at her. Annie looked at the bright eyes glaring at her “No, of course not. I really really like you. I just feel like what we're doing might end up being an in-the-moment something and we'll...” Jordan shuts her up with another kiss “All that matters is our feelings for each other.” He tells her after they broke the kiss. “Now, let's go in and feed you, you're too skinny.” Annie playfully glares at him before pinching his arm but he laughs at her instead. “Just on time.” V comments with a smile when she sees Jordan and Annie walk in together, almost at the same time as their meal. They sit and start eating, all tension gone.
