Chapter 5

Music to my ears part 2

>>>Anthony POV<<<

Ok you know that super awkward feeling you get when the tension is so thick you can feel it. Well that’s exactly what’s happening right now. I’m here with a clingy blonde hanging of my arm, looking confused while Jess and Lenny sat across from us trying with everything they have to avoid looking at us.

“Well ok then,” Lenny clapped his hands together breaking the tension. “I don’t know about you guys but I’m tired of the awkward silence. So how about we talk music huh.”

“Sure.” Jess states in a bored tone.

“Alright!” the blonde squealed beside me. “I want us to sing a love song, it would be so. Cute.”

“Ok.” I said finally. “First we need two songs that can go together and we’ll have to meet up to compose them together, but first how about we pick who’s gonna play what and who’s gonna be the singer.”

“I vote Lenny to sing.” Jess perked up in a second.

“No. No. and No.” Lenny stated flatly. “I can’t sing in front of people Jess, you should know that.”

“Says the boy who wants to be a singer.” Jess teased nudging Lenny’s shoulder.

“Shut it Jess.” They looked at each other as if having a silent conversation just by looking at one another.

That really made me and Ian pissed offed for some reason. Having a guy that’s not blood related to our mate was bad enough with them living together, but it was how close they were that got me really irritated. I mean come on. Can you blame a guy for breaking a guitar unconsciously when he sees his mate being kissed by someone else? And no It’s not jealousy, it’s called being cautious.

“Ahem” I faked coughed causing them to snap their attention back to me and um...blonde here.

“Sorry.” Jess says looking down a little embarrassed. I couldn’t help but find that a little adorable.

“It’s ok.” I told him. “So, back to music, any ideas on which songs we can put together?”

“Hey can we use ‘Let her go’ by Passenger?” Blonde asked gleefully to Jess and Len.

“Hey I think you’re on to something Rita.” Lenny told her. “Ok I’m about to say a song that I believe we can use with that, but nobody say anything or judge me by the choice, that means you Jess.”

“No promises.” Jess states flatly. “What’s the song?”

“ ‘Let it go’ from Frozen.” He muttered so only we would hear.

“E-Excuse me?” I said as Jess laughed holding his head with one hand while the other was clutching his stomach as if it hurt. “Are you taking about that Disney Princess movie?” I said as we all stared at him.

“Hey.” He put his hands up in surrender mode. “It was just a thought. I already know how we can put it together and everything. It would be less work if you guys just said yes.”

“Fine with me.” Jess admitted. “How about you guys?” he looked to me and Rita.

“I love that movie as much as I love that song. It would be cool.” She squealed.

“Fine by me.” I said. “So where are we gonna meet up to practice the song?”

“Our house.” Lenny said earning a glare from Jess.

“No problem.” I answered.

“Alright.” Rita said.

“Great.” Lenny said taking out a piece of paper and pen to write on it. “Here’s the address.” He handed me and Rita.

“Don’t I get a say in this?” Jess said to Lenny.

“Probably not.” Lenny answered with a wink.

‘Ok if he doesn’t stop flirting I’m taking over your body to tear him apart.’ Ian Growled.

‘Trust me. I won’t stop you.’ I told him. I still don’t like this guy. He was a werewolf, I could smell it on him, so that means Jess really was supernatural if they live under the same roof.

‘Glad we agree on something.’

“...thony. Anthony.” A female voice squeled tapping on my shoulder.

“Yea.” I said turning to her emotionless. It still pretty angered me with what she did in front of Jess. It probably made him think of something was going on when there wasn’t. Sure I screwed her, but that was before we met, I’m sure he’ll understand when I explain myself.

“Can you come with me to my locker to get something? There’s only like 15 minutes left in the class, I’m sure Mr. Lord won’t mind.” She pouted like she thought it looked cute.

“No.” I tell her flatly.

“Aww. Can one of you come with me.” she turned to Jess and Lenny. “Please. I promise we’ll be quick.”

“I’ll come.” Jess said making me and Lenny turn to him surprised. “Let’s go.” He says as he got out of the seat.

“Yay.” Rita sequels getting off as well. “Be back soon.” She turns giving me a kiss on the cheek out of nowhere.

‘I’ll bite her head off if she does that again Anthony.’ Ian growled.

‘Keep your cool Ian. I’ll have a talk with her later.’

‘Make it sooner. I don’t think she’ll have a later with my patience.’

‘Go to sleep Ian.’

‘Fine.’

I saw as Rita and Jess made their way down the bleachers to where Mr. Lord was checking papers. When they reached him I saw Jess explaining something to him and Lord simply nodded his head, before they left the auditorium.

“So. What are your plans for my boy Anthony?” I turned to look at a serious looking Lenny, as I just remembered he was here.

“What do you mean plans.” I asked him innocently.

“Don’t play innocent act with me player you know I know you know what you two are to each other. So save it.”

“Since when are you so serious. I thought you were the strong sarcastic type.”

“I am, but when it comes to my family I find the serious Lenny does tend to come out more.” He said simply.

“Well if you must know. I plan on making him mine.”

“Yours? And how will that go with Malibu Barbie kissing you all over the place.” He snapped almost angry.

“I’m not with her.” I said flatly.

“Well the PDA she’s giving ya says otherwise hun.”

“Touché. Well I guess you can say we had a physical relationship before I met Jess.”

“So you’re not gonna reject him or hurt him?”

“Why would I reject him? I’m not an idiot. I know what happens when you reject your mate and I’m not planning to go into suicide mode or depression.”

“How about the hurting part of my question?”

“How can I hurt him. He’ll be happy just by being with me.”

“Oh. Your one of those type.” He said holding his head in his hands.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked offended by the statement.

“Your of the those typical players, who has everything handed to you with a silver spoon so you get what you want, in other words a Brat. You think the freaking world revolves around you and you don’t let anyone tell you what to do nor do you try to see what it’s like from the other person’s point of view. You probably never had a real mutual relationship with another person, but you pretty much get around with anyone that hands themselves over to you. You probably didn’t even want a mate for one of these two reasons. One. You didn’t want to be tied down to him or her when you find out who it is. Or two. An actual relationship scares the crap out of you. That was until you met him. Correct me if I’m wrong about any of these things I just said Mr. McKay.”

I opened my mouth to retort, but nothing came out. Everything he said dropped on me like a pile of reality bricks, because everything he said was true. Even things that I haven’t thought about for myself. I was a player. I was a brat. I was self-centered and non-caring about others feelings because I didn’t look at things from their perspective. I’ve probably done more damage to those people than I let myself believe I did.

“Silence means Yes?” Lenny asked. I simply nodded my head in answer. “That’s what I thought. You know, having a mate means giving a lot to that other person and the thing on top of that list is Love. If you don’t mind me asking what do you feel for Jess?”

“I feel something all right.” I admit.

“Like?”

“Lust.”

“Oh dude I did not need to know that!” He face palmed himself before knocking me on the shoulder.

“You asked.” I retorted defensively.

“You didn’t need to tell me that. Dang man keep that in your wet dreams not in my presence. Lust is a totally different emotion than Love Hun. And let me tell you a little secret. My boy believes in the whole marriage, or in this case mating before sex thing so you’re really in for a long wait.” He smirked.

“Y-Your kidding right?” I asked.

No answer.

“You’re kidding right?” I repeated.

“Good Luck Hun.” He winked. “All I’m asking is that you don’t hurt him. Do that and I’ll let you live. Easy right?”

“I promise.” I said truthfully trying not to laugh when he thinks he can take me down.

 ‘I changed my mind.’ Ian says. ‘I like this guy.’

‘Me too’ I agreed. ‘I’m glad Jess has him.’

“Here.” He says before reaching in his bag for a piece of paper and pen before writing on it. He gave it to me to revel a phone number.

“Um.” I said. “You know you’re really not my type.”

“It’s for emergencies dumbass. Call me if you need help with Jess or even when you want me to set you guys up or something. By the way you’re not really my type either, although you could show me what’s under the-’’

“Fire!” A girl screamed coming inside the Auditorium. “Sir there’s been an explosion by the lockers. Everyone needs to get out.”

“Oh no.” I heard Lenny say. “Weren’t Jess and Rita going by the...’’ I didn’t pay attention after that I practically flew off my seat and bolted through the door to look for them. I sniffed the air and followed the stench of smoke and ash as I ran down the halls to the lockers.

 I froze in my tracks at what I saw. Jess standing in front of me covered from head to toe in ashes and didn’t seem to be fazed by it as he looked down to a large pile of ash that was by his feet. Until he slowly turned his head up to see I was there a took a large step back in shock.

“What is that?” I asked referring to the pile of ash.

“That.” He said in a horsed voice. “Is Rita.”
