The Hunter's Werewolf

(11) Awkward Study Date

Have you ever had one of those awkward dates where one of your family members, friends, or even someone you know comes up to you and starts small talk or says something that embarrasses you and will haunt you forever? Well, that is what happens to me all the time, and sometimes it is so embarrassing that I just want to hide in my bed under the covers and never come out of hiding.One time my very brother crashed one of my "study dates," or that is what I told him, but it was a romantic date at the lake on the pack's territory with another wolf from another pack that lives on the outskirts of the borderline of our pack. That date was something special, especially when I was going to lose my very own virginity. There were blankets, a bonfire, candlelight, and a perfect romantic dinner.It was going well, but all of a sudden, my overprotective brother showed up out of nowhere and scared the living life out of me. He was standing there with his face red as ghost pepper, and his first was tightening into a ball at his sides. He was growling so badly that it made my heart skip a beat, and he looked like he was going to pick me up while half-n***d in a blanket off the guy while he was sitting in his boxers. Colton marched right up to me and picked me up into his arms without exposing me.He told me to get dressed and get my things quickly, so he can take me home while getting my stuff. He went over to the guy and went off, telling him to stay away from me. I know my brother was protecting me, but that was uncalled for and ruined my date and special night. Sometimes I wish we did not have twin telepathy for privacy, but it does come in handy, especially when in danger.Anyway, today was another boring day until history class. I am in the same class as Alecx, which I am very excited about, especially when we can spend time together. History class just happens to be right after math class, which is overwhelming, especially for my brain. Learning math and then history tends to make my head hurt, but I cannot do anything about it but to deal with it.I walked into history class with a smile on my face, and my eyes were glued to my phone while reading on this phone app, where there were tons of good books to read, such as classics and many other types of genres. I like classic books, but I do read many types of books whenever I can. While walking to class, I accidentally bumped into a desk, which caused me to lose my balance. Luckily Alecx was there to catch me in his big, stronger arms, and he caught me just in time so I would not end up on the floor. When he caught me, I stared into his eyes, which made my heart skip a beat, which is like love at first sight. He began to say"Hey cupcake, it's a good thing I caught you before you became a flat pancake," he said while helping me from the floor."Yeah, sometimes I am not so good with balance; I am surprised my clumsiness doesn't affect my cheerleading," I said with a soft giggle while fixing my shirt."So, would you like to sit next to me in class since there are no assigned seats? Maybe we can plan our project out more too," he said while walking to a far desk table in the back of the classroom."Yeah, maybe we can go somewhere and plan more of our project since we are partners on the whole art and history project," I said as I sat on the chair and started to pull some of my class items out of my bookbag."Well, that sounds like a clever idea; how about we meet somewhere after school, plan our project, and get something to eat?" he said with a smile."Are you asking me on a study date?" I asked him while looking into those gorgeous eyes of his."Maybe I am, or maybe I am not; who knows, but would you like to go on a date with me tonight? We can go anywhere you like to go." He said this while with a smirk on his face and pulling out his notebook for class."I would love to, but there is a thing where my brother happens to ruin all of my dates, even if it's a study date, which is still rude of him; I mean, I need to live my own life too," I said while copying down the notes from the board for the project."Ahh, I see. Well, how about we go to the Café and Bake Shop after school? Let's meet at 5 pm, and we can chill while doing our project together." "We can talk, eat some food, and hang out too," he said, while also coping with some important things like boredom."Okay, but I can't tell you that I said so with my brother coming to rim our date; I am just saying he can be embarrassing sometimes," I said while looking bored from my notebook."Well, it's a date, and cupcakes don't worry about dressing up because you are beautiful just the way you are," he said with a slight blush and a cheesy smile."Be at the shop around 5 p.m.; you just bring your project stuff, and I will bring a surprise for you." He said it with a smirk and looked at me with those gorgeous eyes of his."Okay, I will be there; see you there, and don't be late," I said and waved bye because the classes were over and it was time to head to the other classes of the day.I walked out of the classroom to my locker to change my classes when suddenly Kaylie jumped out of nowhere and scared the living crap out of me to the point where I turned white as a ghost. I smacked her on the arm so hard that she said..."What the hell was that for?" I did not mean to scare you that badly; I just wanted to know what you and Alecx were talking about in class instead of paying attention in class. "You better spill, or I will tell Colt on you for not paying attention and talking to him while flirting," she said while leaning on the lockers behind her with her arms folded together."Well fine, since you are my best friend, I am going to have to tell you before you scare me again or do something worse like tell my parents." So okay, Alecx walked up to me in class, and we started to talk, but then he asked me out on a study date tonight at Café and Bake. We are going to work on our project and hopefully get to know each other. Also, please do not tell Colt about it. "You know what happened last time with a date with a guy," I told her while closing up my bookbag and shutting my locker."Okay, fine, but you better tell me everything afterward, and after school, let's get you all already to kiss those lips again." Do not worry; I know what to pick for your study date. "Oh, this is going to be extremely exciting, and I cannot wait," Kaylie said, wiggling her eyebrows at me.The school was so slow that it felt like a long-lasting daydream that never ends. Luckily for me, I got things to distract me after I finished my classwork, whether by withdrawing or reading. Every time I keep looking at the clock, it makes me feel like my daydream will never end. After three hours of t*****e, I am finally free, which means freedom. As soon as I was done getting my things from my locker, I met up with Kaylie to start planning my dates, like my hair, makeup, outfit, and other things. As soon as I got home, I went to my bedroom with Kaylie to get ready for my study date. I took a long, hot shower after a stressful day of thinking about the date or how I would embarrass myself. After the shower, I got dressed and let Kaylie do my hair and makeup. When Kaylie started to work on my hair, Hazel walked in while eating a cookie that she stole when mom was not looking."Woah, you look pretty; are you going somewhere, like on a date or something?" she asked while still having her cookie in her mouth."Yeah, I am going on a study date with a guy from school, but you can't tell anyone, or I guess I can't tell you where mom hides your cookies," I told her while looking at her."Fine, but what about dinner?" She asked while climbing on my bed."I will be back in time, don't worry, and I'll make sure I grab you some of those cake pops you like so much," I said with a smile."Alright, you are finally done and look so damn pretty; he is going to kiss you again," Kaylie said while taking a final look at me."Have fun, Char; also, boys have cooties; you won't see me kissing a boy," Hazel said while making a disgusted face."Oh, you will be kissing boys when you are our age; don't worry, they do not bite," Kaylie said with a kissy face."What time is it?" I asked them while getting ready."I have no idea; I can't tell time," Hazel said with a confused face."It's about 4:30 p.m. "You should probably get going, and don't forget to tell me the details later, when you get back," Kaylie said with a warm smile."Alright, I better get going, and don't worry, I won't forget this secret," I told them while getting up from my make-up table and putting my bookbag on my left shoulder."Don't forget about my cookies, and I promise that I won't tell any," Hazel said with a grin on her face."Alright, I have everything I need and will see you guys later," I said while walking towards the door.After I left the packhouse, I drove to Café and Bake, which only took me a good fifteen minutes, and when I got there, I found my favorite spot, which is right next to the fireplace. I opened my sketchbook and began to add more things to my art project when someone tapped on my shoulder and said..."Excuse me, miss, is this seat taken?" he said, which turned out to be Alecx."No, not at all. Have a seat and maybe stay for a while," I replied, closing my sketchpad and watching him pull out of the chair."Here I brought you a rose, and I know it is cheesy, but I thought you should have this after all, this would be our first official study date," he said with a cute smile."Thank you; it is really pretty, and have you ever been here before since you moved here?" I asked while smelling the red rose."No, this would be my first time, and I did hear someone say that this is your favorite place, and your favorite flower is a rose," he said while looking at the menu."Did Kaylie say something to you in school today or something, and she knows everything about me?" I said this while looking for my favorite sandwich on the menu."Excuse Charlie, are you ready to order?" Marley said while standing next to me with her little notebook in one hand and a pen in the other."I would like to study favorites, and may I have some extra pickles?" I asked her."Sure, anything for you, and what would you like?" she said while writing it down."I guess I will have the same since I have no idea what I would like, and that sounds good," Alecx said while handing her the menu."Alright, I will leave you two cuties alone, and your food will be ready shortly," she said with a cute smile."So how about we get started on this whole art-hhistory project that is due at the end of the semester?" he said with a wink that made my heart skip a beat."Well, we both know about our family history; maybe we can do that by comparing it with each other's family history in this town," I suggested."That would work, and this would be a piece of cake," he said while getting out his stuff and putting it on the table."Alright, I am going to start looking into my family history of the town, and well, I guess you can do yours," I told him while clicking the keyboard with my fingers."Sounds good; I need to look up some of my family histories as well," he said while turning on his laptop.After a good half an hour, our food is here. I am so hungry I can eat a cow, not literally but close enough. While we were eating, we asked each other many questions to get to know each other, like our favorite things and the basic stuff that everyone should know. We kept talking and laughing at each other's jokes about random stuff until the sun went down and the shop was starting to close for the night. I looked at the time and said..."Oh sh*t, I have to go... Umm... "I missed my family dinner, and I have to go. Sorry, Marley, can you put my order on my tab?" I said while quickly getting my things packed up."Yeah, don't worry, I've got you covered, and here, give these to Hazel," Marley said, giving me a small bag of cake pops."Sorry, Alecx, I will text you later when I get back home," I told him while he was paying for his food."Well, I will see you tomorrow at school," he said as we started to walk out of the door."Yeah, endless, I am grounded or something, and have a safe drive home," I said while walking to my car."Wait, you forgot something, your purse, and, well, umm... "There were some pads and tampons that fell out," he said while trying not to look awkward."Umm... thanks," I said while grabbing my purse from his hand.Just like that, his touch sent a thousand sparks like fireworks out of my body and made my heart skip faster than normal. He leaned in for a surprise kiss while holding me close to the point where my legs almost gave out. This was one of the best kisses I ever had in my life. I kissed back, which made him blush even more, and he looked so cute when he blushed. We kissed for a good five minutes until Marley came outside and told us how we looked so cute together, which made both of us blush more. We finally said our goodbyes and went to our own home. As soon as I got home, I went right to Kaylie's room and told her all the juice details and how awkward the date was. Hopefully, our next date will be better and more fun than studying or something boring.
