TASHA
Exquisite golden brown eyes.
Hardly would you want to look away. His lashes landed softly on their spot as he blinked those piercing eyes.
His posture was magnificent and the girls in the class murmured with a shy face and blushed cheeks as he walked in.
I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder, “Hmmhmm..you might want to look the other way. Don't even go there, friend,” Jasper said, as he adjusted his bandana, an accessory that now seem to match all the time with his uniform.
“Pfff……I wasn't looking, …” I scoffed out in a defensive tone.
“Oh please, I caught you staring, “ Jasper jested.
“Who is he by the way?” I asked with a smirk like I didn't care about whatever response I might get.
“That's him..the one the whole school keps talking about, Roman…the sexiest guy in CrossHigh..”
I smirked in disgust… “Really?”
“He is also the school prinicpal's son….” He added.
“Is that why everyone is in awe? He doesn't strike me as sexy one bit,” I looked away in pretence.
“Are you damn serious right now? If I was into guys, I would definitely go for him,” Jasper said, winking his eyes like he was already bewitched by looks.
“I'm not really into all of this. Are you going to talk about something else or you join the band to sing about just this one guy??” I lashed out.
Jasper seemed distracted and wouldn't even give a reply. I was forced to hit him on the back..”What's wrong with you?”
“Oh my, sorry. I was just wondering why Roman is looking in this direction…our direction..”
Uhn?
My heart skipped a beat almost immediately.
“Why would he be looking here?”
I thought the word blush had nothing to do with red cheeks until that very second….I could feel them swelling and changing like I was about to burst and my eyes wanted to swallow themselves up in cuteness.
I slowly tilted my head to the side and my eyes made contact with him from afar.
“Oh my…He is staring at me!!” The voice in my head screamed out.
Jasper wouldn't stop tapping my thighs as his face bloom with excitement…”Geez, he is heading here!!”
What? The sexy boy is walking towards me?
Is he alright? Why is he coming? Oh goodness! I almost wished the ground could swallow me up that very minute.
I kept adjusting my skirts like they would miraculously reach my knees.
Seconds later, I felt an arm take me by the hand and I shook. “Hi..new girl,” his husky voice pierced my soul and I smiled uncontrollably.
I frowned immediately so he doesn't catch me off guard.
“Uhmmm..yeah…what can I do for you?” I spoke in a rude tone.
“You can start by telling me your name, young eyes,” he replied so calmly.
I almost fell in love with my new nickname but I still had to put my guard up before him.
“And If I don't??” I answered.
“No pressure. I guess I'd see you around then,” he said and walked away..
“Such arrogance!” I thought.
But his cologne wouldn't just let me throw out insults at him. They left a lasting scent in the air and it was like I was standing in the garden of roses and lavender.
My wolf purred from within and I smacked my lips without thinking twice.
“Dang it…what has gotten into me?”
“I got you, young eyes.” a voice from within suddenly uttered.
That wasn't my wolf, obviously, so how did that ha..hap..
Wait, was that him?
He suddenly looked back and winked at me…”oh my, he's a wolf too but how was he able to get inside my head that fast???”
“Hey, snap out of it already!!” Jasper called out in a loud tone.
“What were you saying?” I stuttered.
“And he is still not sexy, uhn?” Jasper jested but I gave him a knock and walked away.
I had to walk with Jasper to the salon to redo his dreadlocks…I was seated just at the entrance and scenes from the classroom kept replaying in my head.
“How could someone be so endowed with so much beauty..even as a male??” I thought in my head as I smacked my lips.
I could recall the fineness of his uniform, how neat and properly ironed they look. His skin was radiant and his face was like that of an angel…
I doubt if he had any mark or spot on his body. “He is so clean,” I mumbled out and that caught Jasper ears.
“Hmm…” he squinted at me…”What's going on with you, friend?” He asked.
Just before I could answer, my phone beeped. It was a message from my Dad instructing to be home as early as I could.
I couldn't help but wonder what it was.
*****
Most times, I feel he is lonely and just needs company.
I couldn't let him not after what my Mom did to him. My dad was like the most honest man I know.
But Mom just had to get in bed with some weird looking dude from a different pack and now I am just stuck with whom I think is the better parent.
But even at that, I do miss my mom.and hate her at the same time…
How could she?
“Hey, puppy, you are back,” that was my dad favorite way of addressing me. Sometimes, I wonder if he still remembers my actual name.
“Why the sudden call, Dad?”
“Yeah…about that….your mother called me an hour ago..I think she is on her way here….” He uttered.
With a raised eyebrow, I looked into his eye. Could he be serious? How could he be so calm about this, letting her come here?
I felt my wolf shriek from within… “He is probably joking..” I said to my wolf.
“Why aren't you saying anything, puppy? It's your mother..”
“Nah..stepmom…she chose her side already,” I interrupted rudely.
Just that very minute, the devil herself in the almighty figure of my mom walked in through the door.
“Tsk..and now she is here…” I mumbled.
“Just behave,” Dad replied in a haste.
And there was that sudden familiar scent again….I sniffed the air out of reflex.
I know that scent…
A figure appeared behind my mom…like someone came with her to the house.
He was tall and a striking stance….”Hello Tasha…” Mother interrupted.
“You might not be happy to see me but you should meet your stepbrother…he asked to be here..” she pointed to the tall guy behind her..
And his face glowed at me..
And my eyes almost popped out of their eyes at the sight of him.
“Roman…the boy from school?”
