EMILY

           

Gregory opens the door slowly, revealing a male figure. Gregory grabs my luggage and walks into the condo. Far behind him, uncertainly I walk through the door, but not as far as a welcomed guest would. With my throat all of a sudden going dry, my voice breaks as I spoke, "Noah is it?"

The sight of him...

As much as I don't want to admit it, this man standing before me, there is only one word to describe his features: gorgeous. The color of his skin is a mixture of honey and caramel. I love honey and caramel. He has a gentle look, with strong features. How is it that he has gentle lips, but such a strong, hard gaze?   His cheekbones are so fairly defined. His right hand in the pocket of his slacks, a glass of brown liquid in the other. The way he stood, so suave. He seems like the bad boy that your mom warns you about, those bad boys who skips class and he smokes cigarette  behind the school. Those boys that you just can't help but want to taste.

He gives me a silent nod.

"So, you don't speak?" I ask.

"I do." He says nonchalantly. He didn't speak loud, but the beat of his voice lingers in my ears. He has poker face that I can't read. What are you thinking about?

I look past him, roaming my eyes throughout his condo. It's a vase space. Way bigger than mine, and that's saying a lot. Especially if he's living in this big place all alone. "What am I doing here?"

"I don't know," he shrugs his shoulders. "I wanted to see what all the fuss was about."

"Fuss?"

"You know... having a mate and all that."

". . .Not what you expected?"

He gives a silent laugh, passes his hand over his jaw.

Gregory walks into view. "She's all set in your bedroom. I'm going to head out now. Is there anything else you need?" He asks Noah.

"His bedroom?" I scoff. "What do think is going to happen tonight?" I say offended.

"Nah, you good." Noah says to Gregory. Gregory nods his head and walks past me out the door closing it behind him.

"What exactly do you thinks going to happen tonight?" I repeat.

"I don't know, you tell me."

~~~

I walk out of the shower in towel and dry myself.

Right after this, I am leaving.

I put my phone in charge and I'm finish taking a shower, so now I'm leaving. My phone should have enough charge for me to call a taxi and go to a hotel or something. I put on a bra, a sweat shirt, and black tights, I fit my sneakers. I put my wet hair in a bun and walk out of the bathroom and walk back toward Noah's room. I fix my things in my luggage. I go check on my phone that was charging on his dresser. It has 34%. That's good.

I unplug my charger and walk to my purse and place it in.

I walk out of the room.

"Noah!" I call out.

But no answer. I walk to the living room. I push through the door and see Noah sitting on the couch, focusing on the phone he held in his hand.

"Noah?"

He looks at me silently and raises his eyebrows.

"Can you give me a number to a cab, and help me with my things downstairs?"

"You're leaving so quickly."

"Uh, yeah. I have to check in to my hotel."

"You can stay here."

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not?"

"Because... I don't think it's a good idea if we sleep under the same roof with you tonight. Or ever."

"What, afraid you won't be able to resist me?" He says cockily.

I scoff, "As if."

He stands and walks over to me. He looks down at me.

"What?" I ask. Why is he so close to me?

"You're phone."

"Oh, here." I hand it to him. He types in a number and hands it to me.

He shoves his hands back in his pockets, "The cab company's number."

"Thanks." I say turning around and calling the number. The phone rang.

Noah takes the phone from my ear. I turn around and ask, "Why did you do that?"

"Stay for the night." He says hanging up.

"What? No."

"I'll take you personally in the morning."

"I don't want that. I'm hungry. I want room service and a warm bed. Now give me my phone." I reach for my phone but he raises his arm in the air, above both of us making it impossible for me to take.

"No." He said.

"Why not?"

He backs up and puts my phone in his pants. "Take it." He says.

"You think I won't. I will fight you for my phone."

"Do it." He challenges.

I walk closer to him and unbutton his slacks, shoving my hand down his pants to get my phone, all while looking in his eyes.

I purposely grab his penis and squeeze it. He looks at me unfazed, I look back at him daringly. I push my hand further down and pull out my phone.

I call the number back and look at him as he looks at me motionless.

"Hello."

"Yes." The operator responded.

"I'm calling for a cab."

"Okay, what's your address?"

"5678 Village Drive. I'm at Lyon Penthouses & Condominiums."

"Okay, a driver will be there in 15 minutes."

"That's fine, thanks." I say hanging up. I look at him in his eyes, he looks like he's studying me. Like I'm something he just can't figure out. I look down at his unzipped slacks and look back at his face. "What are you thinking about?" I finally ask.

"I'm think about how you look under that large jacket."

I shrug my shoulders, "Too bad you'll never find out."

"Yes." He says coolly. "It is too bad that you'll never have  a real man fuck you."

"Oh yeah? What makes you think you can handle me?"

He scoffs, "You don't even know what you like, you've only been with one man. Nonetheless a human."

"You don't know who I've been with."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

"You think I can't handle you?"

"I know you can't."

"How much are you willing to bet?"

I smile, "I'm not for sell."

"Funny seeing as how you're selling yourself short, being with a dickless-"

"Don't finish that sentence unless you can back it up."

"Dickless human."

"Hmm." I say backing up. I let my phone fall to the ground. I force my sneakers off and turn around, raise my sweater above over my head and take and toss it on the ground. I slowly strip my tights off, leaving me in my bra and panties. "Still think you can handle me?" I ask seductively leaning against the wall.

He walks over to me and pushes his body onto mine. He raises my head with his finger under my chin and leans down to brush his lips over mine. His hot breath fanned over mine. I tiptoe and put my arms his neck and brush my lips slightly onto his. He engulfs my lips in between his, he pushes my body and against the wall, slides his hand under my thighs and raises me up, pushing my pelvis against his torso. I wrap my legs around his waist.

He shoves his tongue in my mouth, he puts his hand on my hair and releases my bun. He loses his finger in my damp hair. He gets on his knees and lays me on the floor. I push him and flip us over so, I'm on top of him. I bite his lips teasingly, I raise his hands to the over his head. Then, I put my hand under me into his pants. I jack him off as he gets harder, I place my hands on his balls and squeeze him. I kiss his cheek, then his neck and whisper in his ear, "Just a taste." I say realizing him and sitting up. I stood up and fix my bun. He sits up and looks up at me. I put my clothes back on.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"You can't just leave me like this."

"I'm engaged." I say taking my phone from the floor and walking out the door, I went back to his room to get my luggage and I walked out of his penthouse condo.

Scarlett

"Is this it?" Jacob asks, handing the Lou Vuitton travel bag that held my things to the taxi driver, who then walks to his trunk and sets them in.

I look back at the taxi behind me, "Yeah, I think so." I push my curls behind my ears. "Okay. . . now what?"

"Now," He pulls me by my hips. "give a kiss goodbye." He says leaning in.

I take his face in my hands and kiss his lips. He pulls me in close against his body. I wrap my arms around his neck, "I'm going to miss you." I said.

Somberly he goes, "You too."

"And you're going to text me when you buy a new phone." I remind him as we say our goodbyes. The cab driver got in his car finishing setting the travel bag in the trunk.

"I'm going to call you." He corrected.

"Good." I say holding his cheek in my hand. "I'm sorry again, for breaking your things."

"It's ok." He says again, shaking his head. I keep apologizing, I feel so bad.

"I'll pay you back."

"You have 25 thousand dollars lying around?" He asks.

"25? What costs 25 thousand dollars?"

"The lamp."

My eyes widened, "The lamp?" I repeat surprised.

"Why would you buy a 25-thousand-dollar lamp?"

He smiles and shrugs his shoulders, "I hired an interior designer." He says looking down at me.

"Rip-off. It broke too easily."

He pauses and smile widely at me, "God. You're so fucking gorgeous."

I look at his symmetrical features and smile. "You're
over-exaggerating."

"I'm not. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

"You have to say that, I just had sex with you."

He chuckles, "Not even. I think it has something to deal with those stunning plump lips." He passes his thumb over my bottom lip. I close my eyes, savoring the moment. I open them to his big brown eyes. The way he's looking at me; no one's ever looked at me this way.

Is this how a man in love looks at the woman they love?

"I guess you're pretty lucky then." I say cautiously.

Casually he says, "Understatement."

He smiles back. My hands falls to his and I and kiss him on his cheek. "Goodnight Jake." I say, letting go of his hands backing up to the taxi behind me. I open the door and enter in the backseat of the car.

Katie POV

"What do you want to do?" Kevin asks.

"I don't know. I've never been pregnant." I say to Kevin. I've been feeling overwhelmed for the past couple of days.

"Have you thought about getting rid of it?"

"What?! You did not just say that. You fucking asshole."

"Bring your voice down, someone might walking."

"You suggesting killing our baby IS NOT HELPING."

"Kate," He starts. I could see the frustration in his eyes and I don't blame him, I'm frustrated too. We're two teenagers arguing in an empty classroom, because we have a baby on the way. Who wouldn't be frustrated. "I'm sorry, I don't what to say or do in these situations." He finishes.

"I know, this isn't your fault. I'm sorry for screaming at you, I'm just scared." I say.

He walks closer to me and embraces me, my head on his chest. "I know."

"What are we going to do?"

"We'll figure something out."

I look up at him. "Tell me everything is going to be alright." What the fuck am I going to do? I'm not going to look like this forever, I'm going to get fat. Not to mention how fast werewolf babies grow. I'm supposed to go to college next year, how can I be pregnant and go to school? I don't know, maybe I'll consider taking a couple semesters off, just until  I get settled I know when my mom finds out she'll be supportive, thank god for that, don't know what I'd do if I had this baby without her. She'll be a big help.

"Everything is going to be fine." He said and I believed him, he kisses the top of my head. My once pounding anxious heart was now relaxed.

I back up, "I have to go to study hall." I say.

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Yeah." I say turning around and walking out of the class room.

I walked to the library.

Should I tell Scarlett? I mean it's not like she'll judge me, she's my best friend. Besides I should give her a reason for being such a bitch to her, seeing as I am going to literally going to spend an entire period her in a couple of moments.

I walk into the library. Of course, she has her face inside of a big ass book. She's such a fucking nerd, but I love her.

I walk to her table and sit at the opposite end.

She looks up, "Hey."

"Hi." I say lowly my voice hoarse.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, how was your weekend?"

She blushes and shakes her, "It was good."

"What did you do?"

"I spent the weekend on a boat with your brother."

"His boat?"

"Yeah."

"You mean his yacht?"

"Yeah."

"He took you out on Gravy?" I say surprised, that little fuck never took anyone out on Gravy.

"Yeah. By the way, why did he name his boat Gravy?"

"It's the name of his of his first pet?"

"Dog?"

"You'd think, but it was a stray cat."

"What happen to the cat?"

"My dad ran over."

"Shit, why would your dad do that?"

"My dad hates cats."

"But still-"

"He really hates them." Emphasis on the really.

"Got it... So, what did you over the weekend?"

"I ran, took like 20 pregnancy test, and I went to this new Chinese restaurant that just recently opened."

"Run that back, why did you take 20 pregnancy test?"

"Just kidding." I said immediately. That was I lie, I only took about 15, but I don't want her to know that. Not yet anyway. She has enough going on.     

"You better be, what are you doing afterschool?"

"I'm going to subway, by me a couple of subs and a lot of Lays, then I'm probably going to fuck Kevin." I might do that, after I go to the pack's clinic.

"Wow shit ok. Sounds fun."

"Yeah, how about you?"

"I have to work, just because you quit doesn't mean that I did."

"I only took that job for you, you know that right?"

"I know."

"I just couldn't take Henry's shit anymore, if I worked another shift with him, I might've broken his neck."

"You're telling me I have to deal with him."

"I mean he likes you now, so he shouldn't be much of a problem."

"I've been blowing him off, because I'm with your brother."

"He doesn't have to know that."

"I already told him, he tried to kiss me the other day."

"How did he take it?"

"Not good, he so fucking passive aggressive. He made me stay late. He keeps trying to touch me and shit; it's actually getting really annoying."

"He's a dick."

"I have to put up with his shit."

"Good luck with that."

SCARLETT'S POV

Afterschool, I take the city bus to the antique shop. I get there  f25 minutes early, but I set my things down and start polishing the antiquities until it was time for me to clock in. After checking in, I help a couple of customers and work the register until it's time for me to go.

I feel hands on my waist, "Wha-" I say startled, I jolt in the air startled. I hold my hand to my chest, I turn and see Henry. "Don't sneak up behind me like that."

"I need you to do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"I need you stay late, and close up." Henry says.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Why not?"

"I have plans."

"Plans? Plans with who, your boyfriend?"

"No. And even if I did, it's none of your concern."

"You got a new boyfriend you don't know how to act?"

"For your information, I need to go home and study. So, no I can't stay late." I said.

"You have to, I have something more important planned."

"If you leave me here, I will leave right after you and leave the front door open."

"We'll talk about this, in my office before you leave." He says walking away seeing that customers are walking in.

'You mean your daddy's office.'

I help the customer and after I'm done with him, I document what I sold for the day and make certain the money matches everything I sold today. I count the money in the register, and I take out my commission. When I was done with that, I check inventory for the week. Afterwards, I'm just about done. It's almost 9 and I have to catch the last bus. I walk to the back office and see Henry's feet up on the desk, he's texting.

I clear my throat. He looks up at me and set his feet on the floor and fixes himself on the desk chair. "Take a seat."

"I'm good standing." I say. "I just need my paycheck, so I can go. It's getting late."

He picks up my check from the table, walks around the table and sits on the desk in front of me. "Sit down Scarlett."

I sigh frustrated, "Henry-"

"Scarlett, sit down!" He says again, but this time more sternly, with more bass in his voice. But I wasn't fazed, Jacob is more intimating and I wasn't afraid of him. So why should I be afraid of this?

"No." I say simply. "If I've done something wrong, you need to tell me. And if not, give me my check and I'll be on my way."

"I don't think you deserve this."

"What are you talking about?"

"We need to talk about your performance and attitude towards me."

"Performance and attitude? What are you talking about?"

"See right there, I don't like the way you speak to me."

I scoff, "So, you're going to hold my check?"

"Not today, but you're on thin ice with me."

I swear if I didn't need that check, I'd slap the fuck out of him. "Okay, how about this; I'll go home and reflect on my 'poor performance' and my 'attitude', so I'll no longer be an inconvenience. Can you please give me my check now?"

He hands it to me, I grab it from him walk out of the office, I head to the lockers to get my things. I put the check in my wallet, in my book bag. I get my sweater, put on my bookbag and head out. I check my phone for text messages, but really I was just looking to see if Jacob texted me yet. Nothing from him. Something from Emily:

'we need to talk'

'okay, come to my apt. I'm omw there now.' I reply.

I walk to the bus stop and wait there for the bus to come, it took a while but eventually it came. I get in, pay my fare, and take my seat in the far back. I try texting Jacob. It shouldn't take this long to get buy a phone does it? You know what, it doesn't matter. I need to focus on covering all the chapters I don't understand. When I get home, I'm taking shower, then I'm studying all night.

When I get home, I turn on all the lights and head to my room, I set my bag on my bed and order some take-out. I go to the bathroom, take off my clothes, and step in the shower. A couple minutes past and someone knocks on the front door. I turn off the water, wrap the towel around my body and go to check who's at the door. It's probably delivery, but I still call out, "Who is it?"

"It's Emily."

I open the door, "Hey."

"Hey beautiful."

"Don't hug me, I'm wet. I knocked while I was in the shower. But come in." I say.

"Okay." She says stepping in. "How are you?"

"I'm great—but let me put some clothes on and I'll be right back." I say closing the door. "You can get comfortable." I walk in to my room, dry myself quickly and put on under and a t-shirt with pajama pants.

I walk back out. "Okay, I'm back." I said walking into the living room where she sat. I sit next to her.

I hug her, "I'm guessing you're settled into the hotel?"

"Uh yeah."

"How is it?"

"It's fine. But I have question."

"What is it?"

"How do you
