His Promise #Wattys2015

Chapter 5

It was tight and hard to breath, she shifted under the weight uncomfortably, but it didn't budge any less. Groaning she desperately tried not to open her eyes, but she had too because now it was getting hard for her to breath. Her eyes fluttered open, her vision blurred a little, it was light in the room but no matter how much light entered the largest place it still seemed dark.

Lifting her head to get a better look she suddenly stopped and held her breath. Across her chest was was an arm, thick and not hers. She followed the length of the arm up to it a torso where it layed next to her. In one fluid motion and breathing in deeply she let out the loudest scream possible. Her bedside partner jumped out of bed but tangled in the blankets fell on his back on the floor letting out a deep throated growl of annoyance. She scrambled for the blanket once it revealed she was in nothing more then a over size shirt. Clutching the sheets close she cowed in the corner between the wall and the bed.

Getting up slowly peeping over the bed Eli rubbed the back of his head grumbling under his breath. Seeing who the scream belonged to Eli lifted his hands in surrender softly speaking to her.

"Shh..it's ok, I won't hurt you." He slowly rose to stand, he wore only a pair of sweats, leaving his solid bare chest exposed. Watching him carefully
She couldn't help but notice the scars that riddled his chest and a tattoo almost tribal like from his left shoulder down to his elbow. Watched as he stood there looking at her waiting for her to make a move. Darting her eyes around the room she could seem clearly now and the room was very dark, a deep blue not even the light from the windows could make it brighter. The furniture was black except the bedding , it was different shades of blue at first it was very beautiful but then realizing she was in a strangers bed let alone she had been in his arms made her unsteady.

"Where...w-where am I?" Her voice horse and dry. "What day is it?"

"Its the 14th....and it's 2 in the afternoon..and we'll your in my room on my territory, by Lake Rain. You were here yesterday for the annual meet and greet get together that's held every year for all young and unmates wolves...I believe you came wi-"

"With the Eastern Wood Pack..Wes...yea" bringing a hand up to her head she covered her face using one hand thinking.

She looked around the room then back at Eli slowly. "Umm did...we...?"

Freezing Eli held his breath then shook his head violently, "No no it's not like that. You were drunk last night I brought you here to sleep it off. I slept on the floor there...when I woke this morning and went for a run." He gestured to his cloths..or lack of. "When I came back I must have forgotten you we're in my bed and I fell back to sleep...."

"Oh.." her cheeks redder, she had thought the worse, but was glade nothing had happened. "Um..." She pause looking down at herself before he quickly realized and walked slowly over to a dresser pulled out a pair of sweats and layed them at the edge of the bed for her.

"Here, you cloths are in the drier, for now wear this and you'll be fine k? Restrooms there." He motioned to a door and she noddd her head, looking back at him he watched her with so much emotion battling in his eyes, he had a small smile playing on his lips yet his eyes looked so sad.

Nodding her head she got up slowly kneeling on the bed, every little move she made he watched. They had never once broke eye contact, until she reached over grabbing the sweats he placed for her, and quickly ran to the bathroom with the sheet covering her body.

Eli watched her dash away from him, she was shy and quiet, just like before, he swore this was Rosie...his Rosie but she didn't know him. How could his Rosie forget? He had made a promise to her years ago....unless this wasnt his Rosie and she was still out there...or lost forever. The thought of this girl not being here left a stabbing pain in his chest. Shaking it off he went over to his dresser and started to changed.
