"What do you mean, 'Oh, that's interesting'?" Mary asked, raising her eyebrows at me. I smiled mischievously.

"Well if you let me get to the story!"

"OK, go ahead." Smirking, I turned back to the marshmallows in my hands.

"Well...." I pulled out the top one and squashed it in between my index finger and thumb. Mary sat on the edge of her seat, her eyebrows pulled together and her line in a thin line. How I love this.

"Well...?"She urged. I popped the sweet into my mouth and chewed on it slowly. 

"Well..."I heard the sound of something rushing though the air and a blur of white and black. My mouth dropped open.

"Did you just throw my panda at me?!" I asked Mary in shock. She knew I loved that panda.

"Yes. And I might throw my shoe at you if you don't get on with it." I was actually scared when she said that because she had begun to take off her converse.

"OK. Fine! You psychopath. Honestly. Sometimes." I grumbled. Mary flashed me a toothy smile. Loser.

"So you know that he 'kidnapped' me," I told her putting little quotes with my fingers on the word kidnapped, becuase we all know that it isn't true."because apparantly I am his mate." I stopped to make sure Mary was following me in this story and she quickly shook her head. Then fixed her hair after shaking it a little too much.

"And, trust me, I tried to get away but it didn't work out. First try,"I showed her my ankle, oh hey look there's a little scratch on there I never noticed before. More evidence."Or second try. Hence why Chris is here with me now..."

"He followed you..?"Mary asked with her eyes narrowed a bit.

"Yeah. Stupid werewolf. And I may like him, like a little, tiny, infinite, small bit.-"

"Ohh...my....god. You love him?"

I jumped and stared at her with wide eyes and my mouth opened in a wide 'O'. I never said I loved him! And I'm pretty sure I don't. I mean sure my heart skips a beat when he walks into the room, or he stares into my eyes....but...with love you have to be able to manage NOT to see yourself with another person..but I can....sometimes....it hurts a bit...but...

NO....yep I'm pretty sure I do not love him. But I'm on the brink of it....which just adds another thing to the list of reasons why I should try and stay away from him as much as possible.

"No.....!....God no!! I told you I just liked him. Stop putting words into my mouth."

I sure hope Chris can't hear this with his super wolfy hearing. Oh, well. His fault.

"Oh, OK." She said quietly, the glimmer in her eyes going down slightly. I sighed. I seem to be doing that a lot latley.

"I like him....and I think I maybe, like, on the brink of falling into love with him. But I just can't do that." My eyes filled up with tears. Mary cooed and walked her way over to me quickly, hobbling slightly as she still had one shoe off but the other still on.

I laughed slightly and she wrapped her ams around me. 

"That's why I have to stay away from his as much as possible." I told her, my face in her neck. 

"How are you going to manage that?" She asked, all skeptical."You are staying with him, in his house, for a week, you do remember don't you?" 

"Yes, I know. I'm not that dumb, give me a break. But I don't want to risk it." I pulled away and got up.

Mary stared after me as I walked into the bathroom, flicking on the switch as I went in.

I wiped away the remainging tears from my face and sniffled. Looking at Mary's reflection in the mirror as she leaned on the door frame, still with the one shoe, with concern written all over her face I smiled sadly.

"I am not falling in love with a werewolf. Any time soon. Never." 

She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Trust me."

But could I trust my heart?....
