All A Lie

Chapter 4: The Weekend (part 2)

Looking up being immediately pulled into a trance. I was staring at Will and his captivating eyes. For some odd reason his eyes were similar to the wolf, but that can't be possible because I had just met Will. There is absolutely no way I was already dreaming about him, Plus why would I dream of him as a wolf - were wolves don't exist. They are only a tv thing I reassured myself.

I took the chance to admire his beautiful square jawline. This guy had the most perfect features, his little button nose that sat perfectly on his face. As well as his soft smile that was slightly crooked, his shoulder length hair that was slightly curly- oh I would love to run my fingers through it.

Tapping on the table in front of me once more Will caught my attention. With a soft smile he proceeded to ask...

"Alice.... Hey Alice are you okay? I called your name a couple time, You seemed to have zoned out"

Nodding my head I assured everyone I was okay and was just thinking about something personal, Lizzy had a look of suspicion upon her face but seemed to brush it off.

After finishing up our pizza Lizzy and Katie wanted to look at shoes, me and the boys decided to get ice cream. While sitting outside the store my mind drifted back to the wolf- it was a beautiful wolf with such an intense build. I wonder if we even have wolves in town? I've only ever heard of mountain lions and foxes. The wolf had such enticing eyes. What about it made me feel comfortable. I sat there thinking -This is what happens when you watch twilight before bed.

Something told me to look over and I could see Will staring at me with an intense look on his face. I tried smiling to see if that could help but it seemed to make it worst.

I had Katie drop me off at Cindy's because I wanted to check on her before heading home. Expecting to be greeted by the frail elder lady I stared in shock. What stood in front of me was this tall beautiful guy, his long hair pulled back into a braid with hints of red through out it. His dimples showing as he smiled when he realized who I was.

"Hey Alice. What's up?"

"Wow Caydren can I just say you are extremely beautiful. Also your ex is clearly blind. I just came by to check on Cindy because I didn't know what time you were off"

"Oh thank you. She just called it a night but if you'd like you could come in and we can catch up"

Nodding I walked into the tiny but spacious house. Caydren decided to make some hot chocolate while I picked a show on Netflix. We settled on the office because you could resist it.
"Hey has your grandma been okay? She seemed a little down when I came earlier."

"Oh yeah thanks for checking on her and bringing her dinner. She's been good for the most part. Sometimes she has her little episodes, but that comes with dementia"

"I'm sorry" I said and could help but feel a sudden sense of sadness. I couldn't imagine how life would be like if I was in his shoes. How heartbreaking it would be to have to watch my elder slowly forget who I am

As if he could sense my thoughts Caydren assured me that it was okay.

After a couple episodes I decided to walk home. Caydren being the gentleman he was offered to walk me home and wouldn't let me say no.

"Hey so I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go bowling or something tomorrow? If you're not busy I would just love to catch up more"

"Uh... yeah sure I adjust have a couple things to do for my grandma and I'll be free. What time?"

"Whenever you can" I said with a smile

"Wow we got here fast. Well goodnight" I said while unlocking the door

Halfway into the door Caydren called my name. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a little pouch full of herbs.

"Hey can you give this to your mom? Grandma forgot to give this to you earlier. It's herbal tea as a thank you"

(Sunday)

I was just about to head out when my mom called me to the kitchen.

"Hey honey I need you to be home a little early tonight"

Nodding I rushed out the door. Within a couple minutes I was at Caydren's house. Right as I was about to know he pulled the door open. We decided to just head to a Starbucks that was a couple minutes away and took a seat near the big window.

"So any big birthday plans this year?"

"Not really I talked to my mom them about maybe going to a movie and dinners. How about you birthday twin" I said with a huge smile

"Just working, but after I'm gonna watch some movies with my grandma."

"Well maybe you can come with us!! You can meet all my new friends. They are seniors too and just moved here not too long ago"

"Really? Why move in the beginning of your last year?

I just shrugged while I continued drinking my iced macchiato.

We finished up a decided to call it a day because we both had stuff to do. We said our goodbyes and Caydren pulled into the driveway. Walking in the house smelt a little weird. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom making some tea.

Handing me a cup when she realized I was in the doorway she had me take a seat.

"Oh love you have to try this tea Cindy gave it to us and I think it would be great with the muffin recipe I tried."

Seeing my mom excited I couldn't bare to tell her the tea tasted actually disgusting, however her muffins were so good. Me and my mom were so notices in our conversation that I didn't even realize I finished my tea. Feeling stuffed I let my mom know that I was gonna get ready for bed.

Heading up the stairs I felt extremely exhausted, I headed straight for the shower. While shampooing my hair I started thinking about the wolf again. I was so busy today the wolf didn't even cross my mind.

Now that I think about it the wolf was actually beautiful. It was a huge black wolf with one white paw, such beautiful eyes that you couldn't look away and the way it's coat shined under the moon was alluring. I know I keep thinking about it but what amazes me the most was how the wolf didn't scare me and instead it felt like it was there to protect me.

Not realizing how long I've been in the shower. I heard  a knock on the bathroom door My mom was calling my name and asking if I was okay. Promising my mom I was fine I headed to my bed, the moment my head hit the pillow my world turned black.
