My stepdad. My mate.

C H A P T E R II- Pizza

Mom said the wedding is postponed to next month. I don't know why but I am kinda glad that it is postponed. I mean I love my mother and everything, but there's just something about him. I don't know what, but I am going to find out and put this all behind me by the time the wedding gets here that is a promise.

"KIM, COME HERE!!!" My mom yelled from downstairs. I sighed put down my camera and went down stairs where my mother joyfully waited. For some reason she had a huge smile on her face.

"Yes mother?" I said from halfway down the stairs.

"Xzaviers parent have invited me over to visit them, and I will be staying there for a few days," My mouth widened with surprise.

"I'm going to right?" I asked. She frowned.

"No, I'm sorry sweetie you will be staying here with Alex and Zay," The two waved at her from beside her mother. I just about had a heart attack when she said that and I slipped down the rest of the stairs. My ass hit about eleven stairs before I hit the bottom.

Alex was closest to me and helped me up. "I'm going for a run." is all I said as I dashed out the front door with my mother yelling after me. I shifted, shredding my clothes, and growing a tail and fur.

How could she do this to me? How could she leave me with two completely random strangers? I just met them three days ago and she expects me to stay in a house alone with them for I don't even know how may days. She must be crazy. She is CRAZY.

Like hell I am going to stay in a house with them, all by myself for a few days. But on second thought it gives me a chance to figure out whats going on with me and Xzavier. Am I really gonna take that risk? Yes, yes I am.

I make my way back to the house and watch as my mothers car pulls out the driveway and away down the road for who knows how long. What makes me mad the most is she didn't even bother looking for me. Before, when it was just her and me she would have looked for me.

I slowly walked up to the house where Xzavier waits for me on the porch. He sighs and rushes over to me. Pulling off his sweatshirt he places it over my wolf body, I shift revealing my cold naked body. The sweat shirt goes all the way to my knees and smells oddly sweet, I love it.

"Your mother just left," He said turning around. I nod.

"I saw," I said trying to stand up. Being in my wolf form for as along I was there I'm a little weak.

"Here, let me." He picks me up bridal style after several failed attempts of standing up. My heart flutters as he scooped me up and walked inside setting me down on the couch. He threw me his phone and told me to call my mom and I did. I called my mom on his brann spankin new Iphone 7.

"Hello?" her voice sounded so sweet in my ear as she spoke.

''Mom?"

"Honey! Are you ok?! Should I turn back around and go get you?" She asked.

"No, mom. You go and meet Xzaviers parents I'll be fine. I am fine." I reassured her.

"Ok sweetheart don't scare me like that ever again!" She scolded me.

"Yes, ma'am." I said. After she told me she loved me we hung up and Xzavier was nowhere to be found. But, I still had his phone I took that chance to put my number in it, and of course I was gonna check out his camera. I made a few weird faces and the some strait angelic faces. I then went into editing them to make me look hot as hell! Not that I ain't already though .

Xzavier walked back into the room and I turned his phone off not having a chance to delete the pictures and send them to me.

"You think you can walk up the stairs?" he asked. I shook my head 'no' and he chuckled picking me back up and putting me in my room. After he left, with his phone, I stood right up and looked at my digital clock. It read, 5:34 P.M. I had been in wolf form for close to two hours.

I sighed and went to take a shower. After getting rinsed off and everything, I threw on one of my jumpers with my white high top converse and went downstairs to cook something for us to eat. Without mom here we will surly starve but I will not let that happen.

Walking down stairs I see Xzavier sitting on the couch playing the video game console. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge. We have just enough stuff to make a few pizzas from scratch.

"Whatcha doing in here?" Xzavier asked walking in.

"Making pizza and your helping." I said throwing the spare apron at him.

"I am?" he asked.

"Yup you sure are. Can you please tell me where the bowls are like a really big bowl?" I asked. He walked over to one of the cabinets underneath the island and pulled out two big bowls. "Thanks," he nods.

I pour the yeast and other ingredients into the two bowls and we start mixing it in silence. "Ok, let's make the shape." I said. They makes these things look easy on the cooking shows, but in real life its crap.

We both tried spinning it in the air and It fell flat on the ground.

"Five second rule!" We both yelled while laughing. Picking it up we dusted the dough off and finally got it in an oval circle shape thing.

"Xzavier that is not a circle." I laugh.

"What are you talking about? Yes it is." He said trying to hold in a laugh.

"No that a triangle. How did you even get it to shape like that?" I asked while laughing.

He sighed then started laughing, "This is why men don't cook." He picked up some flour and threw it at me.

"NO!" I said gasping. "You didn't." I said backing up.

"I think I already did." He said laughing at my expression. I backed up into the sink turned around and grabbed the little snake nozzle thing and sprayed him with it. He threw his arms up to protect his face. I laughed.

He grabbed the flour bag and threw some more at me while I ducked and went towards the island. He came up from behind me and picked me up by my waist turning me upside down. I laughed so hard, but grabbed the bag of flour from the table as he held me up and threw it at him bag and all. The bag and all its contents went all over Xzavier and he dropped me backing up.

I laughed and so did he. He grabbed the cup of water from the counter behind him and threw it at me with really good aim. It hit my chest and I went back a bit and fell on the ground with laughter.

"Ok, ok truce?" I asked trying to catch my breath.

"Truce," he said coming over and helping me up.

"You look ridiculous!" I exclaim while giggling.

"So do you." He says throwing the last bit of flour he has at me.

"I know I do, but let's make the sauce then we can decorate our pizzas and eat them." He nods, and goes over to a cabinet pulling out a pan.

"This good?" He asked while almost slipping. I nodded while trying to hold back a giggle.

"Yup," I went into the pantry looking for tomato sauce, but he reached over me and grabbed a couple of cans before I even saw them. Of course he knew where everything is this is his house.

After making the sauce we decorated our pizzas without any distractions and popped them in the oven.

"So what now?" he asked I shrugged.

"Now we wait," I said leaning on the island thing.

"You know," he said cutting off the dead silence. "Wherever I first met you I thought you were gonna be a total b***h. You were acting all rude as f**k then you walking in like you own the place. And now three days later your not as half as bad as I thought," I scoffed.

"And I thought you were a playboy bunny. How would you feel if your mom married a guy you only heard about a few times whenever she came back from business trips. Then all of a sudden y'all are getting married. Like what the f**k is wrong with yall," I said and before I knew it my cheeks were wet with tears. "She didn't even ask me what I thought." Is the last thing I say before running backup to my bedroom using my werewolf speed.

I hate him, and I remember that now.
