I didn't know how long I sat staring at the message. I didn't know what to say back, do I even reply? I wasn't going to shut him out, he didn't deserve that. But I couldn't just sweep what I knew under the carpet. This was big, he could turn into a wolf. I didn't understand, I wasn't really sure I wanted too.
Lies...
I like Jake there was no denying that. I liked how I felt when I was around him but I couldn't let that cloud my judgement. He could be dangerous, probably was dangerous.
He was a werewolf for petes sake!!!
"I need to chill out". I sighed rubbing a hand down my face. Lifting my phone I typed out a new message.
'Hi'
After hitting send I threw my phone to the other side of my bed. I was nervous, I was scared but I couldn't help the little bit of excitement that was building in the pit of my stomach.
"Such a loser". I groaned.
He did things to me I couldn't explain but I didn't want to stop seeing him, I didn't want to shut him out. I wanted to see him more, I wanted to see him now.
I was so confused but the need to see him was overwhelming. Grabbing my phone and laptop I headed downstairs. My gran and George had already left so I was planning on taking over the couch.
I hated Sunday's, the dreaded day before Monday came. I wanted to go for coffee, I wanted to go out with my friends but I didn't want it to be weird.
Was I the only human amongst us?
This was ridiculous. They were human to right, part human? My head hurt, my mind working overtime. I was bored out of my mind. Opening my phone I brought up a new message. I wasn't staying cooped up in the house all day.
'What time are you heading out?x'
My phone started to ring, Alanna was calling me. Putting it on speaker I took it away from my ear sinking my teeth into my bottom lip.
"Leah you there?".
"Hey, yeah I'm here". I shouldn't have messaged her. It felt weird already.
"Can you be ready in 10?". She asked.
"Sure, I think so".
"I'll give you a toot when I'm outside".
The line went dead.
Maybe I-... no I was going.
It was just coffee with friends, what's the worst that could happen.
Shaking out my hair I gave myself a once over in the mirror. I had no idea why I was feeling so nervous. Wrapping my scarf around my neck I picked up my bag slipping it over my shoulder.
I was good to go.
Making sure everything in my room was switched off I headed downstairs to wait on Alanna. And that's what I did for the next half an hour.
Glancing down at my phone I sighed. Seriously? She now couldn't make it. Reading the message over again I didn't bother to reply. Finding his number I brought the phone to my ear. I hoped he wasn't busy.
"Shorty! How you doing?".
I couldn't help but laugh.
