Destiny's story

Destiny POV

His thumb is moving in a up and down motion, while we hold hands. The butterflies in my stomach was already flapping, but now it's more intense.

I bite my lip. His light brown eyes are piercing deep into my soul, I try not to look away.

"Why did you give me gifts instead of talking to me?" I ask. I know it's out of the blue, but I needed something to break the ice.

He scratch his head. "I wanted to get close to you, so gifts came to mind."

"You do know if you want to date someone you need to talk to them right?" I said, while trying to keep I straight face.

He flares his nose. "Yes I know. It's just how we do things." I look at him in confusion. "Do things?" He look at my face blankly before realization hits him.

"If you couldn't tell I'm a werewolf, we do things differently when it comes to communication."

"The gifts...so when you show your interest in someone you give gifts?"

"Yes, it's call courting." I laugh."That sounds so medieval." He smiles a little but quickly relax his face.

"Well it just how we are." He shrugs.

"How long is the courting process?" He avert his eyes a little. I frown my brows a bit. "A few weeks."

"How long are those weeks?" I hear his thought. Three weeks. What! That's so short.

"Three weeks? Isn't that way too short to get to know someone."

He let out a sigh, "It is "short" time to get to know someone in your society, but in mine it's not."

I lessen my grip from his hand but he doesn't let go. I bite my lip and turn my gaze form him. This is a lot, you can't possibly know someone in that can of time frame.

"That's not enough time Michael to get to know someone." He look into my eyes deeply.

"Neutrals and their way of courting is so strange. If you want someone and there is nothing in your way to get them, then why not. You have all your life to know them as yours."

I couldn't help but feel my heart beating fast, his light brown eyes are so perfect. I could look at them forever. The awareness of the eye contact hit me, and I decide to ask another question.

"D-do you have any family." He looked at me blankly.

"Yes, but don't you already know that?" I bite my lip out of embarrassment. "I know that you have a father but do you have siblings or relatives."

"I don't have any Siblings but I have 3 cousins. I'm not really close with them."  Would it be too much to ask him why. I bite my lip before asking."How come?"

"Life just happens, and we stop talking." He just said without a thought. I want to know more but I decide to pry even more. I hope he tells me more the future. "How about you?" He ask me.

"I-I had a mother and father but I don't remember them since they died when I was one, so my grandmother took care of me until I had to leave..." I look away from him.

"I had to leave her because I wasn't showing signs of having abilities, so I appeared human. With that I had to go to human society, until just recently."

"Your mind reading is new." He said, I nod my head.

"What you can see my grandma is not here with me, but at least I have apart of her with this house." I smile a bit.

"I'm sorry for your loss, if you ever want to talk about it I'm here." I smile a little.

"Thank you." He looks away from me, and start to look around the house.

"Is your AC on?" He ask. While touching his face. Damn he must be hot, I should have had the AC fixed sooner.

"No, the AC is broken. I was meaning on getting it fixed but other properties came first."

"I can fix it for you, and your door." He said looking back at me."You're a technician?"

"No. But I know how to fix things." That's cool. "Well please do, I need the help." I ask, and he nods.

He gets up from the coach, and touch my head with his hand.

"Is your head feeling alright?"

"Y-yeah it just stings." He remove his head, and look around.

"Where is your AC unit?"

"It's down the hall on the right." I look down at me one more time and begin to walk to the hall.

I turn my head to the tv, and think about today. I was having a decent day then I heard many voices coming at me at once. And now I'm able to read thoughts on command, kinda. Like I can hear Michael thoughts if I want.

But I still can't control the thought that come. God this is confusing. It's like I can and cannot control this ability.

And Michael is now my boyfriend? That's unexpected, like the feeling just came out and now we are together.

Saying my life is crazy would be an understatement.

I hear foot steps coming near me and Michael show up. "Your unit can be fixed, but I need to get my tools to fix it."

"At least it's not broken beyond repair."

"Yeah I can fix tomorrow, I don't want to disturb you because you're still in pain. I..I want to ask you.." he starts looking frustrated.

why can't I just say it?

About what?

"When are you available?" I raise a brow in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"What I'm trying to say...when are you off. Because I want to take you on a date."  He looks so stressed, I couldn't help but laugh.

He raise his brows at me. "Look I'm trying." He groans a bit. "I'm sorry, it's just you look so stressed out."

"Look this is hard. I haven't been in a relationship in 6 years." My eyes went wide.

6 years, you're telling me a man like that haven't been a relationship that long.

"6? Wow did not expect that."

"You would not be the first to say that, I really haven't seen the appeal of having a ma- girlfriend after my last relationship." 

What was he about to say? I decide to shake it off. Then Michael being to speak again.

"So let me ask you again, when are you free?"
