Chapter 13

Elise's POV

We sat in comfort for a few more minutes until I finally had to pee. "Err... Michael?"

"Yeah babe?"

"I... um.. I have to, err, pee." I blushed. Michael groaned but rolled off of me and got off the bed. "I think I'm just gonna take a shower too." I said as I got out of the bed. I had put a few pieces of clothing in my room last night when I had thought Michael was asleep. I had fake being asleep so he wouldn't know I didn't really go to bed.I went to the dresser in the corner and grabbed a pair of jeans, socks, a nice t-shirt and my lacy underwear and bra. I started towards my door.

"Am I allowed to join you?" My back was to him but I could still feel the redness in my cheeks at his words. The funny thing is, he isn't even joking.

"I think I can shower myself," I opened the door and walked down the hall to the bathroom he had said was mine. I quickly peed and turned on the shower. I didn't feel any need to lock the door. I undressed and jumped into the shower ready to feel warm water spray down on me. I screamed and jumped backwards, the icy water burning my skin, but not in a good way.

The shower was a mix of a shower and tub so I crouched in the corner of the tub away from the water freezing. Michael barged in yelling but not opening the curtain "Elise! what's wrong!"

"The water... It's c-c-cold." I stuttered through my shivering teeth.

"Oh. I think you turned the wrong nob." He stuck his arm in the curtain and turned the nobs and then stuck his hand under the water the same time I stuck my foot under it. I stood up relieved that the water was warm.

"Thank you," I mumbled as I pushed his hand out of the shower. "I can take it from here."

"You sure? I can always help ya Hun."

"Michael, go." He chuckled and walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind him. I showered quickly and then just stood under the warm water. Eventually I decided I had been in there long enough and got out and got myself dressed. I walked out of the bathroom with my hair wet and a little tangled but none the less looking good. I felt myself floating down to the kitchen.

I smelled waffles and smiled. I walked in so that Michael's back was to me, I walked behind him placing my arms around his waist and laying my head on his back. Michael turned around and placed his arms around my waist pulling me to him. "It smells great in here." Michael smelled my hair.

"Not as good as you," I smiled I pulled out of his embrace and walked to his fridge. I pulled out the syrup and butter.

"Where is the butter knife?" I walked over to his microwave and placed the syrup in it with the cap off.

"I got it. Stop working. I got this."

"I'm not working. I'm getting to know your kitchen."

"Our. Our kitchen."

"Okay."

"Come here." I walked over to him stepping into his arms. He grabbed my waist and lifted me as if I weighed nothing onto the counter top. He stood in between my legs and rested his hands on my thigh. I tensed under his touch, only a little. The microwave beeped but neither of us moved to get it. Michael had an intense stare at me and I felt myself starring back at him. His eyes had turned a gold color. God, he's attractive. I think I love him... What no I don't! I don't even know him! Stop it Elise.

"Err... I'm not very hungry. I think I'm just going to go for a walk or something. I'll see you in a little bit." I slid off the counter and watched as his eyes turned black. He's hurt, he can't fight his wolf, I know this. I should comfort him, making him know I don't want anyone but him but... I can't I need to get away. I need a little breather, then I'll be back to my normal self. "I'll be back soon, I promise." I kissed his cheek and walked out the glass doors from the dining room and started to walk towards the forest.
