Chapter 5.5 - Treason of the Female Monarchy

Athena's P.O.V. (After)

I was lying on the couch watching Friends, not planning to get up anytime soon. It had been a long day, I had woken up, dislocated my shoulder and passed out, gone to a pack meeting, taken off my sling, and… yeah that’s about it. Well still a long day, and sleeping for half of it really takes it out of you.

Anyways, I was watching my show perfectly content when Onyx popped in front of my sight. Her lips were moving but I was tuning her out completely.

“Athena!” she cried exasperated.

“Yeah?” I asked completely uninterested in the conversation.

“Are you ready?”

I raised an eyebrow. “For…?”

Onyx looked a little frustrated. “What is today?”

I glanced at her before pulling out my phone “Friday?” And when Onyx’s face fell I thought again suddenly sparking up from my seat and pulling her towards the kitchen.

“MOVIE NIGHT!!!” Onyx and I screamed as we ran through the room. I put some popcorn in the microwave, she took out some soda, then I grabbed all the unhealthy things from the refrigerator, and she took everything good out of the cupboard. Once the popcorn was done we hauled ass to the living room.

Onyx went off somewhere while I set up the snacks and selected the first movie: Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Right after I put the disc in the player Onyx came back, with a surprise. Two surprises, really. Two tall surprises. Two tall male surprises. Named Jay and Colton.

I pulled Onyx outside the room “Why are they here?” Looking over at them.

“Because they asked.” Onyx said in a ‘duh’ tone. “And I thought you were going to give him a chance.”

I blew out a breath of air. “I am, but it’s Girl’s Night! What will Ellie and Piper think when they hear of your treason?” Ellie and Pipes are our girl friends that are MIA for the week.

They’re both huge animal activists and are on a trip helping with relocating a species of… birds was it? Their natural habitat in the rainforest was illegally torn down because of deforestation, but their new home in the city was too dangerous for them and the people living there. Ellie and Pipes are taking them to a sanctuary so they can be in a place like their old home and be safe at the same time.

"Treason, seriously?? What monarchy am I overthrowing?" How can she not understand how big of a deal this is I wondered to myself.  

I looked at Nyx incredulously, "The Female Monarchy! As far as I'm concerned those two don't have estrogen or boobs and, as I have previously mentioned, it’s GNI!!!"

Onyx rolled her eyes and walked away, leaving me alone. I glance inside the room and looked at Jay, casually leaning against the couch with his arms behind his back. I watched as his muscles flexed and- Stop it Athena! You are not attracted to him in any way! I shook my head and walked into the room.

I looked at my options: sitting next to Jay on the couch or next to the lovey dovey couple. I groaned internally because there was literally no way I could watch the movie in peace with them being grossly affectionate next to me. I sat down next to Jay and huffed, just to show him that I had no other choice.

The movie had minimal interruptions, but I had to throw popcorn at Onyx and Colton like 3 times when their making out got too loud. It was almost over, and even though it was really dramatic and emotional, I was getting pretty tired. I started nodding off before I fell asleep on something warm and snuggly.

I woke up content and peaceful, enfulged in warmth that I snuggled deeper into. When my heat moved my eyes snapped open. I was in the same place I was last night but I was cuddling with... Jay. I recoiled, shoving him away from me causing him to wake up and look around frantically before his eyes settling on me.

I was upset, mostly at myself, and then at fate, that these certain events would happen leading up to this. Why didn't I just not go to movie night? Why didn't I not sit next to him? Why did Ellie and Piper have to be gone this week? Why did all these specific things have to happen this one particular night?? Jay looked partially worried, probably due to the fact my face was showing too many emotions to decipher, and partially… hopeful? He was sadly mistaken if he thought that this changed anything.

I wanted to yell at him, taking out all my current anger at the world and myself on him, but with him sitting there with that look in his ridiculously pretty and sparkly eyes I couldn’t. “Just… just stay away from me.” I growled in what I hoped was a convincing way, and stormed out of the room.

I didn’t glance behind me, I couldn’t risk him seeing it. Why is he so cute? Why can’t my subconscious understand why I can’t think like that? I can’t fall into a trap like she did I just can’t…

It would be a lot easier if his eyes weren’t so damn sparkly, though.

AN: Hey, I felt bad for only giving Belle’s story for the past two updates and for not updating as much as I would like to so I updated today, too. It doesn’t count as my chapter for next month, so I’m going to call it 5.5.
