(Toby's P.O.V. )
Once out in the cool air of the night, Toby and Rita walked along the pathway from the gym to the school.
"It was so loud in there. I wasn't sure you could hear me.", Toby said as he smiled down at Rita.
"To be honest, I couldn't hear a thing you said, but I think I caught the gist. I'm Rita.", Rita replied blushing as she cast her hazel eyes to her feet.
"I'm Rita. Nice to meet you Toby.", Toby said staring at her face. Rita giggled and Toby blushed. Rolling his eyes internally at how lame he just sounded.
"Wait, no. I'm Toby.", He finally got out as he hung his head. He could feel his ears and neck turn red.
"Would you like to dance?", Rita asked laughing as she put her arms around Toby's neck again. His arms came around her this time hugging her to his chest. He swayed slowly in circles with her. Rita rested her head on his chest. She fit perfectly in his arms. She was soft and sweet. They stayed that way for what seemed like an eternity.
After a while they both sat down at one of the tables in the courtyard and started talking to one another getting to know each other. Rita was telling him about her mom and how she was always supportive of whatever Rita wanted to do. Toby told her about how he felt the same connection with his dad and always looked up to him.
"How long have you lived around here?", Rita asked, her beautiful eyes seem to glow in the moonlight.
"I'm here only for a semester. I moved here with my dad a week ago because he has some business to tend here." Toby said. Rita was curious about his dad's business, but he decided not tell her the real reason he was in Goreville. His father had been sent by Alpha Lewis to help establish homes for the werewolves in the area. They were just getting to know each other.
"How long have you lived in Goreville?" Toby asked as he was enjoying the conversation with her. "About the same time as you actually. Me and mom have always moved around alot. She never likes to stay in one place for too long.", Rita said her face wistful.
"That must be tough moving around a lot. Never really enjoying one place for too long.", Toby said realizing how lucky he was to have a pack.
"It's not too bad. I get to see different places and people. Like tonight, I got to meet you.", Rita said as she looked into his eyes.
After a while they sat in a comfortable silence watching the stars above them. Toby spoke first as their night was coming to an end and the dance was nearly over, "We should head back. The dance is almost over."
Toby knew her friends might come looking for her soon but he didn't want to go back inside. He was drawn to Rita in a way that he couldn't quite grasp.
The wind blew the trees. Her beautiful hair blowing around in the wind. Her eyes shined in the moonlight. They had danced and talked about everything. When she laughed, Toby's body tightened. He leaned into her, his hands diving into her hair. Toby's lips touched Rita's. Hesitantly, he slowly kissed her soft lips. She opened her lips to him. His tongue found hers, rubbing each other in a sweet and seductive dance. She moaned into his mouth. He pulled her closer wanting no distance between them. Rita ended their kiss when she heard her friends calling for her. Toby stared at her.
"I'll be right there.", Rita yelled to her friends as she turned back to Toby. She stepped back out of his arms. She took his hand and pulled a pen out of her pocket. Before Toby knew what happened, she was writing on his palm.
"I have to go. Call me sometime." Rita said as she looked up into his eyes. Toby didn't want to let her go. As soon as Rita turned to step away, Toby grabbed her behind her neck, kissing her slowly at first. She sighed and leaned into him. The kiss a passion that exploded in his mind and body. Just as quickly as it began he parted from her. Her face was flush and eyes dreamy. He wanted to keep her there with him forever in this moment.
"I'll definitely call you.", Toby said breathlessly. He watched Rita turn to walk away a bit dazed. A smile cracked his usually stoic face. His chest felt light and heavy all in the same breath. He made his way home and went to sleep that night dreaming of Rita.
