A Hale of a Teacher

Chapter Eleven

Isaac's POV
--

I woke at 7:43 and headed downstairs to make breakfast.

I remembered Tori saying that she liked pancakes so I started making her some.

A few minutes later, Tori walked down the stairs to see a beautiful breakfast.

"Whoa, I didn't know you cooked," She said amazed.

"Yep, Not only do I cook, I am also very attractive," I gave a dorky smile and saluted her.

"I've realized," She laughed giving me a quick kiss then grabbing a plate and serving her self some pancakes.

"So is you dad home later?" she asked.

"I don't think so," I said unsure.

"We can go get you some regular clothes later," she told me, "So we can go on that date you promised me," she finished.

"Alright, sounds good" I replied with a smile.

"So where are we gonna gooooo?" she asked with a big grin spreading on her face.

I smiled, "I was thinking maybe star gazing..."

"Sounds all old-timey. I like it." Tori said.

"Cool, lets go get my clothes" I said about to leave.

"Uh... Isaac, you still don't have a shirt on," she laughed.

"Right, I should probably go get that," I said as I ran up stairs and threw on my now dry t- shirt. "Ok, let's go," I said as I walked back down the stairs.

"So Wolfie, want to race to your house?" she asked.

"Sure, but I'm gonna win," I laughed.

"Whatever you say," she smirked, giving me a shove.

We ran as fast as we could and she won.

I pouted, "You cheated."

Tori laughed, "You're just a sore loser."

"Aw, you hurt my feelings," I whined.

"Isaac, baby? do you need a kiss?" She said, talking to me like I was five.

"Maybe that would make me feel better," I shrugged, playing it cool.

She bit her lip and leaned it like she was going to kiss me.

"Too bad," She whispered then walked to my door laughing.

I shook my head laughing, "That was sneaky."

Tori turned around and smiled, "Foxes are mischievous."

"Can I have a real kiss now?" I begged.

"Maybe later," she said winking.

I opened the door and walked up too my room, quickly grabbing a backpack and packing a bunch of my clothing.

Tori was looking at the picture's on my desk, "Who's that?" She said pointing to the picture of my mom.

"That's my mom before she died."

"Oh. I'm sorry," She said stepping away from the photos. "Got everything?"

"Yeah," I answered. I slung the backpack over my shoulder and started to walk down the stairs.

I was just about to head out the door when I heard the door in the kitchen open.

"Isaac! Where have you been?" My dad said, obviously drunk.

"Uh..." I said and glanced at Tori.

"Who is that?" My dad said angry.

"Derek taught me something. I got this." Tori whispered.

She stepped in front of me and shifted. Her eyes started to glow fiery red again and her aura was visible.

"You will forget about Isaac being a problem to you and let him stay as long as he wants at my house. You will forget we came here. You will forget everything you saw. Once we are 25 meters away, You will snap out of this and go to bed. Have a good day." Tori kept a level eye contact with my dad the whole time.

She then waved, shifted back to normal and pulled me out the door.

"That was great," I said. "I had no idea you could do that."

"Well, like a dog, I can smell feelings. Derek taught me that the smell of fear can trigger powers. It did."

"Wow, that's pretty cool," I said with a smile.

Later that night while we were getting ready for our date, we decided to make it into a picnic under the stars. We had sandwiches, chips, and water all packed up. We walked down the road to the local park and we swung on some swings for a while. Before it got too dark, we had our picnic. 

When it was finally pitch black, we spread out a blanket and watched the stars.

"Thank you for this, Isaac," she said holding my hand.

"You're my star, even in the darkest night, you shine. You make everything better, Tori, you made this happen," I said pulling her close.

She laid her head on my chest and closed her eyes, "That was the cheesiest thing I've ever heard. I love you."

"I love you too," I smiled.

We laid there looking at the stars for the next hour, but once it turned two in the morning, we headed back to her house.

Tori got into her bed.

"I might as well just sleep with you again... you know, just in case I get nightmares again." I yawned.

"You know, you don't actually need to have a reason to sleep with me," She laughed.

"Alrighty," I said as I took my shirt off and got into bed.

"Really again?" She smiled. "It's not even that hot right now."

"Shhhh, you know you like it," I smirked, then I shut her light off and we went to bed.
