Chapter 7

1265 Words
Jessie drove an Audi, It was all black and the interior was black and burgundy. The head rests have a red moon with a wolf howling beside it and the words blood moon as embroidered above it. The car was really low to the ground and sporty looking. But the headrests were the more fascinsting part. The car ride was kinda long and awkwardly quiet. I could tell that neither of us really knew what to say. Im genuinely curious what information he could possibly be about to tell me. although i know it probably wont be until tomorrow since its getting late. He glances over at me pretty often and it looks like he's scanning my face, I can tell by his eyes that he really does feel bad for me, but I don't want sympathy. I just want answers. He reaches over to grab my hand and I retract mine, "I do believe the rule was no touching" I said and he smiles lightly. "What if you want me to though?" Jessie asks with a seductive smile. "I believe rule number 2 was not being weird. and If you know what I want without me saying it, then that means you have some kind of mind reading ability that you didn't disclose with me before. and well.... that's weird." I say smiling at him. he smiles back and things get quiet for a moment. "I don't want to make you uncomfortable lacey. I'm just trying to be here for you. If you want to hold my hand, I'd like to hold yours" he says looking at me. And for some reason it hit me the right way and now I did want to hold his hand. I look down at his massive hand and I place mine on his palm to palm and lace my fingers with his. His hand makes my hand feel warm and tingly, just like his hug felt, and as guilty as I feel for it, I feel a surge of happiness, before reality sinks back in. I was trying to remember the advice amanda gave me about trying to talk to him more so I start trying to think of a conversation and when I couldn't I randomly decide to start blabbing my mouth. "I'm not going to lie I'm kind of anxious! Do you live with your parents still? How are they gonna feel about your bringing a girl home late at night? Does your family belong to a cult? How do you know about my family? What do you call me little mate? Why is your hand making mine tingle? I missed work tonight and now I'm going to get fired." I had the worst case of word vomit. Jessie literally laughs out loud at me.... "one thing at a time, little mate, no I do not live with my parents we have separate housing in the same area though, no we don't belong to a cult, I know about your family because of my family buisness, little mate is a term of endearment from me to you, the rest of those are questions for later, and I can help you get another job easily" he says while smiling and glancing between me and the road. I am such an i***t. Before long he flips on a turn signal and turns down a dirt road, we drive over 2 miles before it turns into pavement and 2 massive gates with a guard station is directly in front of us. I'm looking around curiously when a few huge men that look like security show their faces "alpha Jessie, go on through, we hope you have a good night sir" the guards say. I choose not to say anything but i didnt miss it, why did they call him alpha? was this like a fraternity house? I just observe while we pass tons of elegant houses, it's hard to see everything because it's dark but you can tell this place is extremely high-end and I already feel like im not going to fit in. He pulls up to a mansion that's centered in the back middle portion of all of these houses. The house is mostly glass front. Its 4 stories and just by the few lights on inside I can tell the interior of this house is extravagant . there's a fountain made out of a huge symbol that's the same as the symbol on the headrest in the car except the foutain is lit up by bright LED lights and it's beautiful. I look at it for too long when he finally announces that it's his family crest. "stay right there" Jessie says as he exits the vehicle and runs around to my side, he opens the passenger door and politely motions for my hand as he helps me get out of the low sitting car. I feel so out of my element right now. my brain is on auto pilot and I have no idea why I'm even here right now. I stand there amazed at how beautiful it is "I have never seen a house this big or beautiful" I say and Jessie smiles. As we are walking inside worry starts to strike me and Jessie notices "hey little mate, you are safe here, you are safe with me, nothing will happen to you. And tomorrow I'll give you some answers you've been searching for. tonight I think you should rest" Jessie says. This place is gorgeous, everything looks so sleek, the marble flooring, black walls, silver accents everywhere. I take in a deep breath because I've literally never seen a house this nice. "okay I can sleep here on the couch" I respond. "ha ha ha, I didn't ask for you to come stay with me for a few days to have you sleeping on the couch lacey". I swallowed a little too hard and It was loud. "wait.....no,no,no that's not what I meant either, I just meant there is plenty more comfortable options for you, I wouldn't allow you to sleep on the couch" he says. and I do feel slightly better now that he clarified. He motions for me to get into the elevator and we go up to the 4th floor, I had no idea Jessie was this rich. We get to the 4th floor and we step out of the elevator to a long hallway. to my surprise there is only 3 rooms on this massive hallway. 1 is Jessie's bedroom and 1 is his office space, the last room is directly across from his bedroom and he says it's a guest room. So I assume he's putting me in that one. He places my bags in that room and shows me where he will be. "The bathroom and tub in there is really nice, if you wanted to take a bath or something to relax, there is some herbs on the counter in a basket that you can use, it willchelp calm you and get you ready for sleep. Goodnight little mate, I will see you in the morning and if you need me don't hesitate to come to me" Jessie says with a smile and he asks if he can hug me and i agree while hugging him back. He smells so good, this whole house just smells like him and it's driving me insane. That hot feeling comes back and I rush to my room. I swear when he hugged me i heard him sniff my hair. I wonder if I smell good to him too?
