Skinwalker - Completed

CHAPTER 13

(Rylie's POV)

Rylie took in the sight of Alyssa's little cabin inside. There is a limited piece of furniture: just a sofa, t.v, tables, and chairs. And a few pictures hanging on the wall were mainly Alyssa, but she also has pictures of other people. Rylie can't put a finger if they are family or friends.

It was just a bunk, but it was a classy one. Rylie can't help but nod in approval. The loft bed looks clean and cozy, and a long grey sofa is underneath it. It looks like Alyssa also uses the white bean bag as a chair.

"Go on. You can sleep in my bed."

"But I---"Rylie looks at herself. She was dirty from swimming in the water earlier and rolling on the ground. She felt embarrassed to use Alyssa's bed.

Alyssa noticed her reaction, and the corner of her eyes crinkled. "Ok. You can take a shower. It's just that I think you became exhausted from transforming and from running away from the witches."

Rylie felt warm. She thought that Alyssa is so full of herself, but as she gets to know the woman. She came to admire her. The blue-eyed woman is strong, considering that she is a rogue wolf before the pack accepted her.

She shyly bit her lower lip. "T-Thank you so much, Alyssa. I thought you are a jerk and arrogant, but you proved me wrong."

The said woman scratched her eyebrow. "Yeah. I get that a lot, but you can't blame me. I thought you are not the type to fear someone and do what you are told just because someone says so."

Rylie felt flushed. "I—I may be stubborn sometimes, and I can't help it."

Alyssa chuckled and gave her a lopsided grin. "Yeah. You are not in this situation if you're not stubborn."

They both realized what Alyssa said and started laughing their ass off. When they both stopped. They looked at each other. Rylie never felt so connected with someone like what she had with Alyssa. The woman with sky blue eyes just gets her and can laugh with her.

She felt her cheeks get hot. She knows she's blushing right now. Alyssa gave her a once-over, and Rylie felt the tension between them gone off the roof. It was only for a brief moment because Alyssa shook her head off and turned away from her with a red tinge to her cheeks too.

"Y-You said you will take a shower. G-Go on."

Rylie turned around and didn't say any words. But deep inside, she wants to squeal out loud. Was that desire she saw in those blue eyes? Rylie still felt giddy and chewed her bottom lip as she stepped inside the shower and turn the knob on.

It's the first time someone pays attention to her and found her desirable. She can't help but make a big smile.

When she was finished. Rylie stepped out and peered at where Alyssa is. The woman was lying on the couch and had her eyes closed. Rylie sighed in disappointment. She held the towel to her body tighter then walked towards Alyssa. She remembers that she didn't have any clothes except the one she used a minute ago.

"A-Alyssa?"

Rylie chewed her bottom lip. She was debating if she'll wake Alyssa up or just rummage through her drawer. But that would be rude.

"A-Aly---"Rylie reached out a hand to touch Alyssa's shoulder, but she took a step back with wide eyes when those blue eyes suddenly opened. Rylie put a hand on the top of her heart. It started beating fast. After a while, Rylie felt her heart rate go down when Aly sat on the couch.

"W-What is it?"

"I-I don't have clothes. Can you lend me?"

"Y-Yeah, yeah, sure." Alyssa stood up and almost bump into her.

Rylie sidesteps to make way for Alyssa, but the latter bump into the wall instead.

Her eyes widen in surprise. "Are you ok, Alyssa?"

Aly closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. "S-Sorry. I'll just get to my closet."

Her shoulder shakes, and she put a hand to her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud. There was a flush of redness on Aly's face, and it's so cute.

"I'll just get it. Where is your closet?"

"No. I-I----"

"It's ok, Aly." Rylie put a hand to Aly's shoulder to stop her from wandering around aimlessly, clutching her forehead. "Tell me where your closet is, and I'll just get something from it. You can tell me what I should wear from all your clothes."

Aly stopped and look at her sheepishly. The brunette also lowered her head. "Under the loft bed, my closet is there. You can borrow whatever you want from there. I have fresh underwear."

Her jaw dropped; that is why she had seen a partition under it. "T-Thank you."

Alyssa nodded her head but wouldn't look at her. Rylie shook her head. She felt the same too. She felt embarrassed after that scene earlier, where Aly looked at her with desire. Rylie felt her body get hot. She unconsciously fanned herself and shook her head again.

She needs to get dressed or freeze to death with the cold weather inside the bunk. As much as she wants to see Alyssa's expression of desire. She couldn't risk her health too. Even if she's already a werewolf, what if they also get sick?

Rylie found a white shirt, brown shorts, and new red lace underwear that she immediately wore when she got into the bathroom again.

"Aly?" Rylie called out to Alyssa when she got out of the bathroom. But there was no answer from the woman.

Well, Rylie guessed the woman is sleeping. She went towards Alyssa's bed, and Rylie saw the brunette on the couch. The blue-eyed woman's chest is going up and down in a slow movement.

She can't help but look at Aly's face. The woman is stunning. Not the average face of a woman. She doesn't know why but she felt this instant attraction with the woman sleeping on the couch.

She still wants to see more of Aly's face, but this feels like she's a stalker. So, Rylie shook her head again and climbed up towards the bed. She was freeloading here anyway. If she became human again. She will have to say goodbye to Aly. She shouldn't entertain these kinds of feelings.

Rylie looks at the ceiling. She also worries about her grandmother. If she calls now, she will still make them upset. Her grandmother will surely tell her to say where she is right now to pick her up, but what would she say? That she was a werewolf now, and she needs to find a spell or a way to go back to being a human again? What about those witches? Will they harm the werewolf people if they found out she's here?

A part of her brain hurt. This overthinking of things is making her uneasy and nervous. Rylie closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep by counting sheep. Rylie felt her eyelid grow heavy, and as soon as she fell asleep, a deep voice spoke in her head.

You are interesting, Rylie Scott.
