Dorian got me all of the paperwork I needed by the next day. The ID said I was 16, and that my name was Blain Cross. Haha.

So he gave me his last name. Guess it's his hint of me needing to get use to it. The thought of it kind of made me blush. Blain Cross. Hehe.

Gosh, when did I become a school girl. The people at the cafe already think we are brothers. Its only fitting that we have the same last name. But still...

Oh well. I can be happy about it if I want.

Which speaking of family ties, what did Dorian and his mother talk about? I guess we both got distracted, but he never told me. I'll definitely have to ask him about it tonight.

After grabbing the stuff I need, including my new Id and social security card, I headed out the door. Dorian had left just before I had to wake up. He even made me coffee before leaving. As he was leaving, He kindly reminded me not to drink to much coffee, or I will never grow.

I know I'm short, but I'm only 13 man. I guess I do look older, but still, I have a long way to go before I'm an adult. I hate that he is older than me, but then again, He never ages. So I can catch up no problem.

As I wondered into the coffee shop, Megs cafe, I saw Sam behind the counter. He waved me over. No one was in the shop yet, since it had just opened. I smiled as I walked over.

"So, what did dear big brother say?" he asked, his eyes full of hope.

"He said I could, But I have to work in the mornings. No evening shifts. And no call ins either. I only work on the weekdays." I said, to make sure he knew. But the rules didn't really effect him. His mouth stretched into a big smile, and he did a little happy dance. Literally.

Next thing I know, I'm talking to the manager. Then I'm in an interview. Then I get sent home with paper work and am told to return tomorrow at 10 with everything signed to start my training.

Wow.

That was a bit of a rush.

I walked home and it was still dark outside. I left so I could make it to the shop when it opened. It was only six thirty, and the sun was still a little while from rising.

I walked around the corner and I felt like something was watching me. It was then that I realized how easy of a target I am right now. I'm young, small, and walking around at 6:30am on the dark street. When I got to the light, I pulled out my phone. I looked around me as I dialed Dorain's number. It rings two times before he answers.

"Blain, are you ok?" is the first thing he said.

"Yeah, I just wanted to call you and let you know that I start tomorrow. What should we eat tonight to celebrate?" Now that I'm on the phone, I continue walking. If your on the phone, some one is less likely to attack you.

"You should choose. You got the job! I'll cook you want ever you want. Just tell me, and I'll stop by the store on my way home to pick everything up." I thought I saw a shadow in the light, but it was gone with in less than a second.

"Awe, hmmmm. Let me think... Oh, How about Apple pancakes. Those sound so good. With cinnamon sugar on top of them." I walk up to our house, punched in the code, and the gate opened up. Slipping inside, I get to the door way at an fast even pace. Can't look like I know.

"Sound delicious. But it also sounds like more of your forte. I think I might burn it." he chuckled to himself. I giggled and unlocked the door.

"Why don't we cook together? It's much more fun that way." As I shut the door, I make sure to lock ever one of the silly things, and put the code into the safety alarm. After stopping it from calling the police, I set it back on, so that if anyone gets in the house, the police and I will know. I heard someone's voice talk to Dorian, he said something but I guess he covered the speaker part because it was muffled.

"That sound great. I'll see you when I get home, I got to go. Got to prep for the first meeting today. Can't wait to come home tonight." I smiled into the phone, kind of glad that he couldn't see me.

"Ok, see you when you get home."

"See you later. Love you." He said just before hanging up.

I closed my flip phone and walked towards the kitchen. Popcorn sounds awesome right now. Popcorn and anime!!

You know what I noticed lately? Hear me out for a minute, cause I think I'm going to sound like a love sick girl again.

It seems to me that every chance he gets, Dorian will announce his love for me. From the looks, to the way he says it. I don't really know how to describe it.

I don't want to say I doubt if he means it though. I'm sure he does. I understand the whole mate thing, so he probably knows what he is feeling. But in this day and age, the L word is dropped at any chance given.

The word love means so much more than what people think of it. To love some one, is to accept and respect someone, no matter what difference in opinions you might have. To trust someone to always make the right choice and to trust them enough that they will have the same faith in you.

With it being such a big deal, I can't allow myself to say that to him. I care for him deeply, but I don't know if love is the right term. At least, not yet. And every time he drops the word, I feel wrong for not saying it back.

He never pushes me to say it though. He says it in the most casual way. Just slips it into the conversation, and then carries onto the next subject, like it's just a matter of fact. And to be honest, I'm thankful for it.
He has always tried his best to make me happy. But I don't know him well enough. I've seen what he has showed me, but I want to know so much more.

What was he like as a child? Who was his best friend? Who is his best friend? What is his family like? Is his mom as scary as she sounds? I have so many questions, and I don't even know how to ask them.

What does he even see in me? What does he agree with, what do we disagree on? Did he have different expectations? Did he imagine me growing up to act different, or look different, or even sound different? Was he ever disappointed with something that he didn't like? How would he respond, and how would I react to finding out?
