906 Words
“But you have to promise me that when find your mate we are still going to be friends right?” I ask him.
He looks at me and his face softens that’s when i realize how small I sounded like a whiny little girl begging for affection or some s**t like that.
I am so embarrassed.
“Look at me. Of course Lily. We are going to be friends for life. Trust me. It is you I am worried about. When you find your mate you are going to leave me in the dust. That’s for sure.” He shakes his head with a smile.
“You know I could never do that to you. We are friends for life.” I tell him.
“Yes. That’s it.” He says.
“Good. Now that it is out of the way. I am starving. How about we go get something to eat?!” I suggest.
“Yes. That’s a great idea. Doing all that fighting made me so hungry.” He says.
“We didn’t fight dumbass. We just had a little argument. Calm your t**s. Let’s go before I can’t resist the urge to knock you out .” I tell him.
He just laughs grinning.
“Well you can try but we both know that I rule this bitch.” He says.
He lifts his hands up to flex his muscles and he is still naked from his waist up by the way.
You know when you’re trying to absorb everything about a moment. You think to yourslef that if ou just cling to it and hold on tightly with all your life then just maybe you can make it last as long as you want but here it is not it.
I want to hold on to the moment. With this teasing, us talking and joking back and forth but there is this gut feeling deep inside me that things might change soon and things might either be very good or very bad and whichever way it turns out heavens know I am not ready for the change that is coming with the storm.
Mama and my sister think I am very weird because I love the storm.
When we were growing up, whenever it rained or it was stormy Jenny would run and cuddle up with my mama and papa in their room or in the living room by the fireplace and they would be there trading stories and cuddling away. I did join them occasionally, but I often found myself pulled to the window. Looking out, watching the trees dance and bow to the pressure of the wind, leaves break from their branches as they are torn and pulled by the force and even the earth would rumble and quake like she was a birthing mother in deep agony and it made sense to me that even in that moment of absolute chaos there was tranquility. It was perfect. There must be madness and ruin for the world to go, for nature to continue in the circle of life. There must be death for a rebirth.
The calm before the storm they say. After the storm there is always peace and a soul seeping calmness.
We might just tear each other to shreds or we might save each other.
I smile at him.
“you know for someone that is going to have my life in his hands and technically you would have to protect me one day you are awfully scrawny.” I tell him with a deep serious face.
He looks at me in disbelief.
“you didn’t mean that.” he says.
He looks down at his abs and frowns.
He has biceps, not so pronounced like ripped but they are there and you can see the dicntion.
“you need to start working out.” I tell him again.
This is payback for him throwing me into the river.
He is a softie so I know what I am saying is getting to him.
“are you blind? Wait did me throwing you into the river give you a concussion?” he asks peering into my face worriedly.
“I don’t know what you mean.” I say looking at him even more innocently.
“come here you.” he says coming towards me with renewed purpose.
“what do you think you’re doing?” I ask him backing away.
“coming to rub all of this fine chiseled abs all over you.” he says moving with vigor.
“jeremy you better stay away from me. You have done enough. Thank you very much.” I tell him.
“no come here girl. I am doing you a favor. Do you know how many girls would like to be in your shoes?” he asks with a cocky grin.
“oh come on now. Arrogance doesn’t suit you. And trust me they are not panting after your ass because of your abs… or your lack of abs.” I tell him.
“you will pay for that.” he growls.
He is faster than I am and when I can’t connect with my wolf he can shift already and his wolf is strong and swift. He catches me in no time and we fall to the ground. Me on my back and he falls on top of me.
We hit the ground with a thud.
