Owen's P.O.V.

I still can't get the conversation I had with Jess yesterday out of my head. It is already more than twenty-four hours, it's almost nine pm and today is Sunday. I have to meet Jason today but I'm still shaken up by the things Jess described. I knew that he ran away from his town and so I guessed that something bad might have happened to him but I could never imagine that he went through so much.

How can someone be so cruel? He wiped out an entire town! I was horrified just by imagining the things that Jess said, but he went through it. He is always in good mood, he is always cheerful, charming, and welcoming but I can only imagine how hurt he was all this time. All this time he was keeping all that in. Even Vlad felt sorry for him, he also wanted to comfort him when he was crying.

I'm meeting Jason today. It is our first date but I was very concerned for Jess so I went to his place this afternoon, to check on him. However, he looked totally fine, or at least he acted like he was totally fine. I thought that it might be his self-defense mechanism and I should not behave like I feel bad for him, rather I should do things that would make him comfortable. That is, I should behave as if nothing happened. So, I chatted with him for the entire afternoon and decided to go on the date with Jason.

Jason would not have said anything if I said to cancel the date but I did not want to hurt him. But I receive a text from him around seven saying that he might be late because of the work. I heard it on the news today that people from the blue moon pack were visiting so I understood. I was watching an episode from the business proposal and I was feeling hungry too. So, I ended up finishing a family-size pack of chips and some popcorn. It did not feel like I was full but now I regret it.

Nine-thirty and there's no news of Jason. And I'm still watching the drama.

Ten-thirty still nothing.

'Hey

I know the blue moon pack is visiting today.

So, if you are still with them, it's fine to push our date back.

We can plan for some other day.'

It's already too late, I don't think Jason will be able to come today, and even if he came, we will not be able to go anywhere. I guess I should have gone with my family when they went to watch Dr. Strange. But being alone in the house watching a good K-drama is not bad either.

I took a shower and changed into my comfy clothes; an oversized navy-blue t-shirt with black shorts. I just entered the hall when I heard the doorbell ring. I could tell from the enchanting smell that it was Jason. Without realizing how I looked I opened the door; I could not stop myself.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but you know it was very important to pack. I had to do that." He was wearing a black suit, I guess he came here straight from attending a business meeting.

"I know, I heard that on the news."

"So, should we get going?" He asked.

"What?" I did not know how to answer that. I looked down and realized what I was wearing, he also followed my eyes. His eyes popped out when he looked at my clothes. "didn't you get my messages?" I added.

"Messages?" he checked his phone. "AH! Sorry I was too busy and came straight here after finishing the work." He sounded sad. "Sure, we can do this on another day." He looked like a kid whose ice cream fell on the ground before he could taste it.

"Have you eaten anything?" I asked, wow Owen that was out of the blue.

"No! why?" he said looking up.

"Come in, I'll fix something for you," I said without realizing it.

He smiled subtly; his eyes sparkled. But then it disappeared. "No...No... that's not necessary. I don't want to trouble you; I can eat later at home and your family might not feel comfortable." He said he sounded sad.

"Trouble what, it's all right. And no one's at home." What the fuck did I just say. He was as shocked as me when we both comprehended the words that had just come out of my mouth. "I...I just mean...that as no one's home...there's...there's no question of my...my family feeling...uncomfortable." I felt my cheeks burning.

"I know...what...what you meant." He said avoiding eye contact.

"Come in...I'll make something for you," I said and went into my home without looking back. I heard the door shut after me indicating that Jason did follow me. "What do you want to eat?" I asked still not looking back.

"I'm fine with anything."

"Okay, let me see," I said going into the kitchen, Jason followed me and sat on the chair on the opposite side of the counter. I started placing anything edible that I touched on the counter. There was bread, some sauces, cheese, etc.

"How about a grilled cheese?" Jason said looking at the things on the counter.

"Really? I can make you something better." I wanted him to have something good.

"Hey! Don't underestimate the grilled cheese sandwich." He raised his left eyebrow. "And I love grilled cheese." He added.

"Okay if you say so," I said and started making a couple of grilled cheeses.

"GOOD!" He was excited.

I was cooking and he just sat there looking at me. The silence filled the room but it did not feel awkward, it was comforting.

"Um...Can I use the bathroom?" He said suddenly. He looked shy.

"go that was the first door to the left," I said pointing in the direction of the hallway.

He went to the bathroom. I heard my phone ring, I left it in my room. I went to check whose it was at this hour. It was an unknown number. I picked up just before it would end.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Owen Westwood?" It was a deep muscular voice.

"Yes. And you are?" I asked

"I'm Corbin Wilson." For a second, I did not recognize him. But then I understood, it was Mr. Wilson.

"Yes...Yes...Mr. Wilson." I said, I was a little nervous now.

"I'm sorry for calling this late. We were supposed to inform you yesterday but there were some misunderstandings among the secretarial staff and I just realized that you have not been informed about our decision." He spoke with a calm voice but I was sweating from nervousness.

He paused for a second and then said, "We are glad to offer you the internship. I hope you accept our offer."

I can't believe this; I got the internship. Is this a dream or what? I did it. I did it. I felt my heart jumping in my chest, I was screaming internally but I kept the cool façade.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I'll do my best." I said, even though I tried to remain unaffected but I did sound excited.

"Good. We can discuss the terms later."

"Sure."

"How about tomorrow morning?" He asked. Is he serious? This all is going too fast. "And you can start right away if we agree on the terms." He added. This is crazy, everything is going way too fast. But I have to take this opportunity.

"Okay, okay."

"Good. Then see you tomorrow at nine." He said before hanging up.

I started to jump and run all over the place once the call was ended. I was screaming and it all still felt like a dream. I don't know where I was running to but I was running. I saw Jason Coming out of the bathroom and ran straight to him.

"YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!" I shouted and he turned towards me. I hugged him, I started to tighten my grip and hugged him harder. He was just standing there but then I felt his arms wrap around my waist, he was hugging me back. "I GOT IT! I GOT THE INTERNSHIP!" I shouted at top of my lungs.

"What?" he said as he pulled back, were a little apart not. My hands were still around his waist and he was on my shoulder. He was looking right into my eyes. He looked happy, so happy that his eyes were teary, he looked proud. "Really?" He asked.

I nodded and his eyes fired up. He hugged me again, so tightly that it was hard for me to breathe. He then started to jump in circles and I followed him.

"Congratulation!" he said still jumping.

Vlad appeared out of nowhere and started howling and jumping with the same rhythm as ours. He was happy that we were hugging our mate. I ignored his lewd comments, I do not want to ruin this good thing.

After a while when dopamine subsided in both of us we let go of each other. We were still very close, our faces were barely apart. I could feel his breath, his black eyes looking into mine, and we moved closer unintentionally. I could feel his few millimeters apart from mine. I could hear the noise of my heat drumming mixed with Vlad's howls. He slid his hand from my shoulders to my biceps and finally to my palms. He held both my hands; his finder tangled with mine. I was breathing heavily and I also felt his uneven breaths. And then I smelled it. A pungent smell pierced my nose. His nose twitched too and we both separated instantly.

"Something is burning." I was still feeling shy. But then it hit me. "SHIT," I shouted as I ran to the stove. The cheese sandwiches were burnt. "FUCK."

"It's fine, they are not that burnt." He said took one of the sandwiches. "Look, we can scrap it off. And I like a little burnt flavor." He was scrapping the burnt portion of the sandwich with the knife.

"It's delicious." He said as he took a bite. He then took another one.

"Don't force-feed yourself. I can make you another." I tried to get the sandwich from his hand, to stop him from eating it further.

"It's actually good. I'm not lying." He held the sandwich in front of my face. "Here. Try it." He added.

I took a bite and it was good. I guess we turned the gas off before it was burned to the point of no return. Thanks to the wolf's senses the sandwiches are saved.

"You want a coke?" I poured him a glass of cola. Then he sat on the chair opposite to counter and started eating the food. We mostly talked about what will I do during the internship ad I loved talking with him.

We lost the track of time, and it was already twelve when we looked at the clock.

"I should get going. It's pretty late." He said as he stood up.

"Okay. I hope you didn't hate those grilled cheese sandwiches too much." We were walking out of the house now. Vlad did not like the idea of him leaving and he was complaining, making all kinds of nonsensible points trying to make me stop him. 'Stop! I'll look like a weirdo if I stopped him now.' I told Vlad.

"What are you saying I loved it." He said sincerely.

We were standing in front of my house in silence. We were looking at each other and no one knew what to say.

"I'll... I'll see you later. Good night." He said with a sweet smile.

"Good night," I replied. He then moved closer and hugged me. We stayed like that for about a minute. And then he pulled away, his hands on my shoulders and he was looking into my eyes.

"I want to kiss you so bad." He looked shocked as soon as the words came out of his mouth. Like he said that out loud unintentionally.

"Really! Then what are you waiting for?" I replied. Wait! What did I just say?




Author's note:
