☾ 26: Dreams ☾

"Oh my gosh! This is beyond amazing! It's so cute!" I said seeing the two necklaces Katherine presented me.

They were of two wolf pups one was a silvery white and the other was darker almost black.

"You didn't have to get me anything." I continued with a smile.

"As I said, I wanted to. You should give the other one to one of your little wolf pack friends... I'm sure they would go head over heels for it. Here I'll put it on you."

I handed her the necklace with the white pup and she wrapped it around my neck. I stayed sitting on the bed looking at the other necklace in thought. Once Katherine was down she laid back on the bed, hands behind her head.

I extended the other necklace out to her. "Here."

She elevated herself on her elbows. "What?"

"I want you to wear it."

"I can't take that! Trust me you should give it to someone else..." Her face grew flushed.

"Well, you got these for me and you told me to give the other one to someone. I choose to give it to you." I insisted.

"Yeah, but I meant literally someone other than me." She said as she sat up.

Okay, she is getting on my nerves. Why won't she take it?

"What if I don't want to give it to someone else? I want you to have it." I insisted.

She laughed a bit. "Trust me you don't."

"Is there something I'm missing?"

"Yes. But you'll find out when you give it to someone else. It's a wolf thing hence why I suggested giving it to one. I'm a vampire remember?"

Why won't she tell me the meaning? It can't be that deep.

I dropped my hands to my crisscrossed legs.

"Who cares if it's a wolf thing? Now, turn around." I commanded.

"You're not taking no for an answer are you?" She asked.

"Nope, now turn."

She groaned as she complied. She moved her hair out of the way while mumbling something in the process too quiet and incoherent for even my ears.

I unhooked the latch and placed it around her neck, my hands rubbing against her skin in the process. I may have thought about how soft her skin was for a bit longer than normal.

She turned to face me once I was done and bit her lip. My heart skipped a beat at the sight.

"I should've just gotten you something else... Why are you looking at me like that?"

"W-What?"

"You're staring at me almost like..." She shook her head though I didn't fail to notice the tint in her cheeks.

"Do you want something to eat? I'll get it." She asked.

"Sure."

"Okay, I'll be right back. The signal sucks in this room."

She was gone for only a few minutes then she returned.

"All the good places are closed. So, I got us a sandwich thing." She said placing the bag on the bed. "I also got us a drink. It's fresh so it's still warm."

She handed me my food as I thanked her.

"We should get some sleep," Katherine suggested.

She was applying chapstick. Feeling my gaze, she looked over at me.
