8. 

"Whats going on, guys?" James asked. I started to get nervous. Lucas had to have been pulled into my dream!  Why else would he had passed out at the same time as me and looked as if he was on the verge of tearing my pants off, right here in the back seat no matter how much James protested. 

"He got pulled into my dream," I finally said. James looked disgusted. "It was about him!" he exclaimed. "What!? EW NO!" Lucas rebutted. I let out a sigh. Thank you best friend. "It was about you which is even more disturbing as if it was about me," Lucas said. 

"What happened?" James asked. He seemed a little excited now. Lucas answered for me. "A little bit of the nasty, something I didnt care to see, by the way you're lacking there, Tiny," he said. I closed my eyes as James growled. This was SO awkward! "Can we just forget this ever happened and just continue on our way?" I asked. James took one last glance at me then he started the car and pulled off the shoulder of the road.

After a while of silence James finally spoke up. "Was it really small?" he asked. "Oh for Gods Sake!" I yelled as Lucas started laughing hysterically. "I mean it! Thats a very sensitive subject!" James explained. "Yah Eden was it really small?" Lucas questioned. I felt my face flame up. Damn him! "No James it wasnt SMALL," I said emphasizing the word small. "Was it big?" he asked. "Yeah Eden was it big?" Lucas asked. I was two seconds away from slapping him across his goofy grinning face. "No it wasnt...it was adequate, it got the job done," I replied. Lucas looked a little put off after the adequate statement and James looked smug that it had indeed got the job done. Oh my God this was going to be a road trip from hell.

We were close to Knoxville when we pulled over into a motel's parking lot. I was cramping up again from being in the back seat for so long, we hadnt taken many pit stops on the way here, except for the stop at Alen's and a few stops at other gas stations to fill up. I was tired as hell of the back seat and Lucas' and James' constant bantering. I got out of the car. Well at least they werent killing each other which was what I had predicted would happen in the first place. James got out after I did and Lucas slammed the door to his side shut. 

"This place looks a little off," Lucas said as he walked over to us. And he was right. It was a cute little motel had maybe 8 rooms in total. But there was 2 cars parked in the lot and 3 of the 8 rooms had boarded up windows and doors. The lights were out in the parking lot as well. "Well its the best we can get," James said. He cracked his neck and hissed. "I wont let anything happen to either of you," he said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the door. My body started to hum and vision started to go out. "eden?" Lucas asked from behind me. I turned and let go of James hand and the humming stopped. Yet again, thank you best friend. 

We walked into the lobby of the motel and my eyes had to adjust to the bright light. A man was behind the lobby desk, a little older than I was, his cheek was puffed out, gross he was dipping. "Can I help ya'lls?" he asked as he took a cup and spit into it. I cringed. That was disgusting. "Yeah can I have two rooms?" he asked. The man shook his head. "3 rooms are down and the other 4 are occupied." he told us. "Okay then can I have 1 room?" James asked. "I would but there's only one bed," the guy told us. James was starting to get angry. "Does this room have a couch?" he asked. The man shook his head no. "Does it miraculously have a floor?" he snapped. "That it do," the man said, spitting into his cup again. "Good we'll take it," James said. "That'll be..." the man stopped and looked up at the ceiling. Lucas looked up as well. "The prices arent up there bud," Lucas told him. "Im tryna figure it out without using my fingers," the man replied. James took out his wallet. He pulled out 30 dollars. "Keep the change, or dont I dont care can we have the room key?" he asked.

"Which room was it?" the man questioned. "You never told us!" I exclaimed. I was now starting to get mad at this mans antics. "Well hello there purty girl, whats your name?" he asked. "Extremely tired and bitchy now give us the damn key!" I yelled. "Ya'll better keep your woman in line," the man said, "we cant have the likes of her running amok down here,' he said. "The likes of me?" I yelled. "Whats that supposed to mean?" James sighed and Lucas cracked his knuckles. "The likes of you," the man said. "Someone who thinks they is better than everyone else, you prolly never hada work a day in yer life huh princess?" he said. 

"Thats enough," Lucas snapped, "Now give us the damn key," he said. The man muttered something under his breath and dug around until he found the key. He tossed it to Lucas. "Keep her in check boy," he said. I flipped him off and the man reacted quickly I admit, he pulled up a shot gun from his desk and pointed it at me. Lucas growled and I felt my body flow hot. If hillbilly here wasnt careful he was going to see a real live werewolf right in his motel. "I suggest you put that a way,' Lucas snapped. "I suggest you put a muzzle on that bitch," the guy snapped right back. 

I closed my eyes and everyones energy hit me at once. I opened my eyes and shot my hand out sending a wave on energy in his direction. It threw him against the wall and he fell to the floor in an unconcious heap. "Really Eden?" James asked. 'Well you werent doing anything to shut his ass up," I looked over the desk and tsked my tongue. "Look like someone was sipping on some white lightning,' I held up his clear mason jar. I put it back down and turned away from the desk. "Idiot,' I muttered. 

"Come on boys lets go see if that room has a floor," I said as I walked out of the motel.

The room was small, had one small full sized bed and no couch, but it did have a floor. James went to test the waters in the shower and that left Lucas and I in the room to ourselves. Awkward silence ensued. 'Look I think we need to talk about that dream," Lucas said. "I think we dont, it was just a dream,' I replied. "Eden you know thats not true, that was a life mate dream and I was pulled into it," he told me. "I dont know why you were pulled into it! I dont even know why it was about you!" I exclaimed. I held out my hand. The infinity symbol was wrapped around my ring finger. "It right there, Im his and thats the end of it, that dream must have been a fluke," I said. 

"Eden you know thats not true," he started. "Please Lucas not right now, I cant handle this," I pleaded. He scooted over on the bed. "What if that dream meant something more than just physical satisfaction?" he asked. "You know I love you Eden..." I shook my head. "You dont mean that," I said. Because it was true. He was my best friend. But best friends dont just fall in love with each other. "Eden listen to me, waht if we're Semper Sodales?" he asked. "We're not, if we were I would be on you like flies on pigs but Im not, that dream was just that...a dream, my body is stressed out due to all of this drama thats happening and it doesnt know what it wants," I told him. 

'So you dont know if you want me or him," Lucas asked. "Damnit I dont want either of you but this mark says Im his Lucas and I dont have a say in that. Im pulled to him like a magnet. But you...your always there, in the back of my mind, in front of my face, I cant get away from you," tears leaked out and streamed down my eyes. He pulled me to him. "You're not supposed to be away from me, I need you and you need me, its how its supposed to be, he's not right for you, he's playing both sides, we already know that but what if he's just playing you as well? You're the key to all of this Eden, you're the one everyone wants, what if he's using the Life Mate thing to get you under his control?" he asked. I looked up at Lucas. He looked genuinely worried. 

Damnit. The shower was off. How long was it off? I turned to look at the bathroom door. James was standing in it, in a pair of jeans hugging his waist. "Interesting conversation," he said. Shit, this was not good.
