Chapter 7

A chick flick?!

>>Jess POV<<<

Okay after almost being killed by my long lost aunt you’d think my mom would be all. ‘oh baby are you alright?’ or ‘are you hurt?’ or at least an ‘I’m sorry.  I should have told you sooner.’ But no this is how the conversation went.

After school and trying to calm Anthony down that we have at least a month before Rita reforms. Lenny and I made our way practically stomping in the house as my eyes roamed the room to look for my dear old mum.

“Mother!” I yell. “You’ve got some explaining to do!”

“Jessacob Fairwar don’t you dare try that tone with me!” she yelled from the kitchen.

“Yes mam.” I said immediately. I might be angry with her, but having her angry with me will get me six feet under. I made my way to the kitchen with Lenny right beside me as he wanted answers as well. “Mom.” I said seeing her short form fixing dinner. “We need to talk.”

“So talk.” She said simply turning around. “I can talk and cook.”

Ok let me change the topic a little here. Some of you must be wondering  how Rita made her way into a high school at her, God knows how old age right? Well it’s the same with my mom since she could pass for my younger sister. She’s fairly short at five foot five with long dark curls to her shoulders and the same Hazel eyes I inherited that complemented her brown skin. I don’t understand either, but she always told me that witches age slower than normal people.

“Well.” She said. “Start talking.”

“Well,” I start. “I met a very interesting witch, named Ritana Fairwar, today at school and she tried to kill me.” I said trying oh so hard to not yell.

“Oh you met Rita.” Mom said casually. “How’s my baby sister doing?” she said turning her back to continue prepare the food as I gaped at her unbelievingly. That’s mom for you never worrying.

“Mom! Did you hear the part about her trying to kill me!?”

“Don’t yell.” She pointed a knife that she was using to chop vegetables with at me.

“She tried to kill me.” I said slowly.

“Your alive aren’t you.”

“Momma. This isn’t funny! I didn’t even know you had family left, much left a psychopath sister that hates me and dad!”

“Oh didn’t I mention I had a sister, brother and mother that disowned me for having your father as a mate. Opps must have slipped my mind. Sorry Jess.” she said sarcastically smiling at me.

“What do mean they disowned you?” I said forgetting my anger. I never heard this before. I looked as she put the raw chicken in the oven before turning to me and Lenny.

“Lenny.” Mom said giving him a small smile. “I’d like to speak to Jess alone please.”

“Ok momma.” He said turning to leave after giving me an encouraging smile. She was also his mom since she saved him years ago. He and Jin were also her children as they are my siblings.

“Jess.” mom said making her way over to me. “When I told my mom and siblings about.. your dad and I. They weren’t... happy about the situation. And me being the ‘I don’t give a crap about what other people say’ self, ran away with your dad. We were safe for a few months, happy even, but that changed when my family found us. There was a huge fight, and of course we were losing, I mean one witch and were wolf against three witches? The odds weren’t in our favor that’s for sure. My mother did some type of spell on your father and... he didn’t make it. I was heartbroken at the sight of his body and something inside me snapped. As you know I am an electric witch, a rare type, when we lose control of our emotions this will get pretty bad. To be honest I don’t even remember what I did or what spell I used. All I remember was when I conjured a storm and a huge explosion came.” At this point there were unshed tears in her eyes making me throw my arms around her tightly.

“When I woke up.” She continued. “I saw my mother’s body practically mutated and unrecognizable. I looked around to see if I’d find Rita and my older brother Mason. I didn’t find them so I just assumed they had escaped. I just walked alone thinking that there was nothing for me to live for anymore. I lost my family. I lost my mate. To tell you the truth I was thinking to just end it all by killing myself... but I fainted when I was walking too long. The next time I woke up I was in a hospital bed, apparently a couple was wondering around and found me unconscious on the forest floor. When a doctor came in he told me not to worry... that me and... the baby would be find. I was hysterical when I heard that word Jess. I cried uncontrollably for hours. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t have anyone left, but I couldn’t abandon that life inside of me...” she held me tighter. “I got a human job, and for five years I was better than ever I had someone to live for again... I was out in the woods one day practicing my magic where no one would see me when I came across an abandoned pack house. There I found two young pups, all alone, no family no mother. I didn’t dare think about  leaving them. I became their mother, and I now had two more lives to live for... you know the rest..” she finished letting me go the give a reassuring smile.

“Momma I-’’

“It’s alright Jess.” she assured. “Just promise me one thing.”

“What’s that?”

“Treasure your mate Jess. Protect one another okay? Wherever he is or whoever he is he’ll be lucky to have you.”

“Yea..” I start nervously scratching the back of my hair. “About that.”

“What?” mom asked confusingly.

“Well before the whole Rita thing... yea I kinda, sort of.. um..”

“Jessacob.” My mother said impatiently.

“Well he’s a werewolf and-’’

“Who’s a werewolf?” she crossed her arms.

“I met my mate today mom.”

“...you what!” she screamed before grabbing me from the color of my shirt and pulled me down to meet her eye leveled.

“Name. Hair color. Eye color. Address. Now!” she demanded.

“Anthony McKay. Black Hair. Green eyes. And I have no idea.” I stated quickly. God this woman is going to be the death of me I swear!

“hmm. I already don’t like him.” She said letting go of my shirt.

“All I gave you was a name, hair and eye color.”

“Let me guess. Player. Athlete. Brat. Cocky. Dimwitted. Self-centered. Hot-headed. Thinks the world revolves around him. Need I go on?” she smirked.

“Nope that pretty much covers it momma.” Lenny said making his way to the kitchen.

“You were ease dropping weren’t you.” I asked already knowing the answer to that.

“You think I’d walk out like a good solider... not likely Jess.” he said making his way over to mom and placed a kiss on her forehead.

“That’s what I taught. Spying basterd.” I muttered.

“Heard that Jess.”

“You were supposed to.”

“Alright enough bickering. Lenny did you have a talk to Jess’s little... friend.” Mom asked

“Of course I did momma. Don’t worry.”

“That’s my boy.” She tiptoed to pat his head.

“What does that make me?” I asked

“My other boy.” She smiled

“Oh now I feel special.”

“Oh Jess.” Lenny says throwing an arm around my shoulders. “You know. Even if you have a mate now I’ll always be your mistress.”

“I might just take you on that offer Len.” I smirked at him.

“You can take the offer right now my room is empty.” He winked.

“Boys.” Mom told us. “ Take the flirting upstairs. I’m still in the room.”

“Yes. Mam.” We told her before running up the stairs to our room.

“Use Protection!” mom screamed.

“Sure thing.” We yelled before closing the door.

“So.” Lenny said jumping in his bed as I did on mine adjacent to his. “Should we make out or play video games?” he smirked.

“Hmm.” I fake taught as I stroked my imaginary beard. “As tempting as the make out sounds... I’m going with the video games.”

“Darn!” Lenny fake pouted. About five seconds later his phone started to ring. “Hold on Jess. I gotta take this.” He left the room making me raise an eyebrow at what he said. There were exactly three persons that would call him, and thats me, mom, or Jin. It definitely wasn’t me or mom and it couldn’t be Jin. She was at a night class study group.

So who could that be?

........................................

>>>Anthony POV<<<

I paced back and fort in my room trying to think of what I’m supposed to even do at a date!

“Calm Down Ant!” my Cousin Will told me.

“How can I calm down Will. I haven’t even been on a date. Much less planned one before.”

“Dude.” He started. “Didn’t you say his brother or best friend or something gave you his number in case you needed help with this mate situation?”

“Oh yea. Forgot about that.” I said looking through my bag for the piece of paper he gave me.

“Dude what would you do without me?” he teased when I found the piece of paper. “Hey when you call him put it on speaker. I wanna see if what you told me about this guy is true.”

Don’t judge me when I tell you I practically told Will everything that happened at school. And by everything I mean every detail from meeting Jess to the part where they told me everything with the Rita situation and what Jess was. I had to tell someone though, and Will’s been like an older brother to me since we were kids. He’s a nineteen year old college student. He’s basically the average California type with dirty blonde hair, tanned skin and blue eyes. He was just as well built like I was, considering he was the future beta of the pack. We’ve always been there for each other.

I grabbed my phone and typed the number on the paper, before putting it on speaker as Will requested. I heard about four rings before he answered.

“Anthony Darling. Did you miss me?” the cheeky basterd answered knowing it was me. I turned to see Will trying hard not to laugh at Lenny’s statement.

“Lenny I need help.” I told him through the phone.

“I knew you’d come crawling back to me Anthony. Our love could not be ignored.” He said at the end of the line, I could practically see the smirk on that sarcastic ass face.

“Not the time Lenny!”

“Yea yea what’s up.” He asked.

“Is Jess in the room right now?” I asked hoping he wouldn’t hear what I was about to ask his friend.

“Yea he is.” He said making my heart go faster. “In fact he’s right under me. Wanna come over and do a threesome?” he asked through his laugh now.

“Lenny!” I snapped.

“Ok Mr. I can’t take a joke. Jess isn’t in the room now what do you want?”

“Remember when I asked Jess on a date this afternoon.”

“Yea I was there remember. You two were staring at each other’s eyes all googly like, smiling, holding each other’s faces, moving closer and closer then-’’

“Lenard.”

“Ok now I know your serious.” He said. “Yes I remember. So what.”

“Yea about that...”

“Oh my Sweet Honey. You’ve never been on a date before haven’t you?”

“Of course I have!” I lied.

“Sure Hun. Keep telling yourself that. If you’ve been on one before, why are you calling me? You should know how to plan one right?” he asked chuckling.

‘I changed my mind. I want to kill him.’ Both me and Ian taught the same time. If this little sarcastic brat knew who he was taking to I’d bet he’d shut that sarcastic mouth of his.

“I just.. want to know what Jess likes on a first date.” I told truthfully. I honestly didn’t know anything about him except the few things he said in class.

“I see.” I heard him say before he got to thinking about what to say. “Well. There’s this new movie that Jess’s been dying to see-’’

“What is it!” I said quickly.

“Hold on cowboy I’m talking!” he said making me growl with impatience. “It’s a book to movie adaptation. Jess has read that book and he absolutely adores it. The problem is that if it’s not even close to the book Jess will freak! Once he loves a book and the movie’s not very... appreciative of it. He. Will. Cry. Man I remember when we when to watch lightening thief a few years back-’’

“Lenny.”

“Right. Right. Getting of track. The point is I’m not sure if you can take the risk of seeing a movie of a book he adores so much.”

“I’ll take the chance.” I said.

“You Sure?”

“Yes I am.”

“Positive?”

“Yes.”

“One hundred percent-’’

“Lenny!”

“Alright. Gezz. Take him to see that movie and maybe some ice-cream then bring him home.”

“....that’s it.” I asked unbelievingly.

“That’s it.”

“What’s the name of the movie?”

“The fault in our Stars.”

“Alright. Well.. bye then.”

“What. No I love you Lenny?” he teased.

“I hate you. Bye.” I said plainly hanging up the phone hanging up the phone before he could make some smart ass comment.

“Dude.” Will stated making me look at him. “You were right he is annoying.”

“That.” I said. “Was only a tip of the iceberg of how annoying he really is.”

“Kinda cute though.” He said making me stare at him emotionlessly. “What? He sounds like a challenge.”

“No, he’s a losing battle. Not a challenge.”

“Oh wow. I want to meet this guy now.”

“He’s all yours buddy.” I said patting him on the back.

“Um Ant. You know that movie he told you about just now?”

“What about it.”

“Well my sister read that book and watched the movie.”

“And...” I said obviously not seeing the point

“Well.” He said more slowly. “My sister told me about it and It’s kinda like a chick flick.”

“...Are you kidding.”

“Nope.” He said popping the ‘p’

‘Great. Now I’m going to take my mate to watch a freaking chick flick that he might not enjoy. Lucky me...”

>>>Jess POV<<<

“Who were you talking to?” I asked Lenny as he made his way back in the room.

“No one important.” He said sitting beside me. “Now where were we? Oh yes we were about to make out.”

“No we were about to play a game.”  I said getting up to get the game ready.

“Dammit!” he fake cried making me laugh.

‘Oh well it’s not like who he was talking to had anything to do with me so It’s not my business.’
