Kiss me goodbye

20

The shiver that I felt when the wind came in the room is what woke me up. I pulled the covers over me not wanting to wake up. I reached with my hand for Jay but all I found was an empty bed.

Did he? That a**hole. I swear if he-

And then the door opened and in stepped Jay. I looked at him with a murderous look that made him stop.

“What?” I looked at him for a minute before asking him where he went.

“I thought you might be hungry. So, I made you waffles. Your favorite.”

Oh.

Looking at his hands I saw two plates with waffles and my eyes lit up. I smiled at him and he came over to me sitting next to me.

He kissed me on the head and sat next to me pulling me on his lap before giving me my breakfast.

We ate in silence. After we ate, he took the plate from my hands and put them on the nightstand.

“I will never leave you like that.” he said cupping my cheeks. I smiled at him and kissed him on the nose.

“I know. And I’m sorry for thinking the worst.” He kissed me and I pulled away before it could get any further remembering we have somewhere to be.

“We have somewhere to be. Remember?”

He groaned and we stood up. I put on a shirt and went to the bathroom to freshen up and Jay went in his closet. Washing my face, I went out to his closet to put some clothes on when I saw Jay shirtless in his boxers packing.

Shit.

His back was to me and so he didn’t see me. Yet. Seeing his body, I remembered last night. How gentle he was and how good he made me feel. And not just once. We didn’t go to sleep until about four in the morning.

His voice in my head pulled me out of my fantasies.

I can smell you. And if you don’t stop thinking what you’re thinking, I won’t stop what will happen next.

I stopped with my fantasy, blushing like a tomato.

After Jay finished packing, we met Damiano and Ella in front of the pack house.

Damiano was talking to Smith a guy I learned was the pack’s gamma or third in command. While Ella was completely different story. She started smirking at me the second she saw me. I gave her a WTF look and she mouthed at me “We’ll talk later.”

When we were all ready, we sat in the car with me, Jay and Ella in the back. Damiano at the passenger seat and one of the warriors on the driver seat. The drive was half an hour long. The pack also had a private airport to which we were heading now. but we are landing on an airport in Hawaii like any human would because we are meeting my brother and his girlfriend there. I had my head on Jay’s shoulder the entire drive there. And nobody said much.

When we came to the airport, we boarded the plane and soon we took off. I laid down on the couch with my head on Jay’s lap and his hand stroking my hair. It didn’t take me long before I drifted to dream land.

-a few hours later-

I was standing on the cliff with Jay in front of me with a child in his arms. He looked at her and kissed her on top of her head. She was about 2 years. Suddenly she looked at me and smiled at me and I heard her say “Re. We’re here.”

What? 2-year old’s don’t talk like that.

“Wake up.”

I opened my eyes and realized it was just a dream. I looked up and saw Jay smiling at me.

“Okay lovebirds. Come on we’re here.” Ella’s voice broke us from staring each other. I stood up and suddenly I felt a little dizzy and I swayed. Jay caught me and sat me down.

“You okay?”

“Yeah. I’m fine. Don’t worry.” He looked at me for a moment longer deciding on something. He nodded and put one arm around my back and the other under my knees and lifted me up. I put my hands around his neck and he started caring me bridal style. Because I still didn’t feel well, I didn’t protest. I just put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

Soon we were beside the car that we rented waiting for my brother. It was then that I finally convinced Jay to put me down. We didn’t have to wait long when I saw a familiar figure. I ran up to my brother and hugged him. He let go of his bags and hugged me back.

When we pulled away, I hugged Tina as well. Matthew and Tina rented their own car so Matt had to go to get it while Tina and I went to the others.

“Tina this is my best friend Ella, my boyfriend Jay and his best friend Damiano. Guys this is Ella.” It wasn’t until I saw Ella trying to approach Tina and Damiano stopping her before I sensed the tension between them.

“Why didn’t you tell us a witch will be joining us?”

A witch?!

“I didn’t know there will be werewolves present.”

What in hell is going on?

“What-” I tried to ask but Matt came before I could.

“Hey sis.” He said and kissed Tina on the cheek.

“Everything alright.”

“Yes, Matty I was just meeting your sister’s friends and boyfriend.”

“Boyfriend. And which one would that be?” he looked at Jay and Damiano with narrowed eyes. Jay stepped forward and extended his hand to my brother.

“Hi. I’m Jay. It’s nice to finally meet you.” Matt looked at his hand for a second before giving him a handshake.

“Matthew.”

“So, we meet at the hotel?” I asked breaking the tension between my boyfriend and my brother.

“Sure sis. How about you Tina go with them and Jay can come with me. I am sure we will have a great time.”

That is not going to end good. But oh well. What can I do?

“Okay. Come on let’s go.” This time it was Damiano on the driver seat with Ella on the passenger and me with Tina at the back.

We drove in silence for the first 15 minutes. In an awkward silence.

“So. Tina. You’re a witch?”

I couldn’t help my curiosity anymore. If ends bad…ups…I can’t take it back anymore.

“Yes.” Tina said. It was one-word sentence.

“Do you guys know each other?”

“No.”

“Then how did you know-”

“we can sense each other. Don’t worry you’ll see soon.” This time it was Damiano who spoke up.

“See soon?”

“Long story”

“So how did you know but I didn’t?”

“You’re a werewolf for only 4 months. You’re still new. Your body is still adjusting to some things.”

“Why do I have a feeling you hate each other?”

“Long story.” Tina said the same words that I gave her before. It was Damiano who answered.

“For that past 200 years werewolves and witches haven’t seen eye to eye.”

“What happened?”

“There are more stories. One say that a werewolf and a witch were lovers both of them from royal families and a werewolf betrayed the witch. Some say it was the witch that betrayed the werewolf. And some even says that they killed each other. It depends on which story you believe.”

“How did they betray each other?”

“The werewolf had another lover who got pregnant or the witch got pregnant by another man. Again, different stories.”

“Which one do you believe?” it was a long pause before I got my answer from both Tina and Damiano.

Tina: “None. I think the real reason is hidden. And nobody knows.”

Damiano: “I think it was a set up. Someone killed both of them and then framed the other species.”

“Another theory?”

“Yes.”

“Becca will we meet your parents when we get there?” it was Ella who changed the subject.

“No. They are staying at a different hotel about half a mile away from us.”
