There he stood, in all his glory, shirtless. My mind going straight for that gutter. Ugh why the hell am I this dirty minded?
"What do you want?" His cold demeanor bringing me back to reality.
"I need to tell you something" I say.
Looking as if he rather be doing something else, he reluctantly let me in. "What is it?" His jaw tightened.
Gulping rather visibly I walked further into the room till I was standing right in front of his bed and turned around. "Well, uh, you see I-"
"Who was he?" Jared cut me off
"what? who was who?" I asked confusion written all over my face.
"Don't play dumb with me Tam. Who the hell was he?" Jared asks again, angrier than before.
"What do you.." that's when it dawned on me "oh You mean Derrick? What about him?"
"What do you mean, what about him. Do you like him? What is he to you?" He bombards me with questions. Each question he asked, he took a step closer.
"Jared, what? I just met the guy! He just wanted me to show him around town since he's new to it. Jesus Jared" I sigh frustrated. Can't talk to a guy without his outburst.
"Why would you do that? He doesn't need a guide, this town is small and easy enough to get by" he was close enough that his breath tickled my cheek.
"Whatever. I need to tell you something" I change the subject quickly
"What is it?"
Without trying to beat around the bush I say straightforwardly "I'm a werewolf hybrid thing"
"A what? You're a werewolf? That's amazing!" He exclaims and hugs me.
"Yeah, sort of.." I trail off. Sitting on the bed I look towards his plasma TV, which was paused on Black ops. What's with that game that every boy seems to be playing it.
"What do you mean sort of?" he sits next to me and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"I mean, I'm not fully a werewolf" I look up to see him with furrowed brows "I'm one-third of a werewolf. The other two-thirds are vampire and uh, Goddess"
Moving an inch away from me he responds with " you're part vampire? And goddess?" more to himself than me.
"uh yeah" I say nervously.
"Oh" he stands up and walks to his window. "Is that even possible?" He turns around, looking at me with curious eyes.
"Yeah, I'm here ain't I?" I say, sounding a bit harsh in the process. "I'm sorry, that's not how I meant to sound"
He waves my apology away "Explain to me how this happened?" he looks at me expectantly. Choosing to leave out my parents love story, I just told him a summary of how I became to be and how dangerous I can be. And how I'm being hunted by vampires, all relatives or acquaintances from my father.
After I was done explaining, I blew out a sigh "sounds a lot more complicated than it seems" I pause and think back to what my mom told me about my transformation that's coming soon "Jared, that's the thing," I start off
"Because I met you before my vampire soul mate/beloved-whatever you call it, I will be shifting and I have no idea when that will happen" letting fear seep into my voice. "which is why I'm staying home until I have shifted." I didn't get a response from him that quick. I looked at him.
Jaw locked tight, he looks at me with dark eyes "You're mine Tam" he let out "whether you had found him first doesn't matter. You are, and will always be mine"
"Jesus, Jared, I'm not in the mood for your possessiveness. I just found out I'm gonna turn into this hairy creature now that I've found you. On top of that, I have a bunch of vampires chasing after me and a goddess as a grandparent" I finally explode. My brain can no longer take all the information given in one day.
All of which sounds ridiculous now. I mean really: vampires, werewolves, gods. What's next? A clan of fairies? Not knowing what else to do, I start to laugh at how ridiculous this situation has become. I mean really? From all this ridiculousness, it's possible. I could even say that tomorrow I'll see a freaking gobbling walking down the street as if it happens all the time.
Warm liquid glided down my cheeks, that's when I realized I had started to cry. A meltdown on its way. Sliding to the floor I look down shielding my face with my hair.
Warm hands cupped my chin and turned me to face the owner. Without saying anything, he embraced me and held me. Accepting his comforting gesture, I buried my face in his shoulder and let it all out.
Gasping for air, I slowly got off of Jared and wiped my face from the last of tears that streamed down my face. Taking deep breathes I looked at Jared and apologized.
"Shh. It's okay Tam, I know this is too much to take in" He stared at me until I nodded in understanding "Just don't worry about it" He held me in his arms just murmuring reassuring words until I calmed down enough not to burst into tears of frustration.
Getting up I sat on his bed and said "Jared" my voice soft and vulnerable. I hated it. Clearing my throat I tried again, this time it was not longer soft "How long do you think until I- you know, shift?"
"I don't exactly know Tam, maybe a few days or a week from now. Depending on how strong your wolf is, and if it's true that you haven't found your b-beloved" he struggled to say. "You won't have any problems shifting"
Nodding, I stand up. "Will you know when I'm shifting?" I ask.
"No, but I'll be with you most of the time until you've shifted"
"Okay" I say and I feel a buzz in my butt. Getting my phone out of my back pocket I see a message from mom. Quickly I send a response and before I put my phone away it buzzes again. This time the message isn't from mom. It's Derrick's.
My phone is snatched out of my hand. Turning around I see Jared with my phone and his whole figure is shaking. "Why does he want to see you?"
"Not now Jared" I sigh "I told him I'd meet him up sometime and I guess he thought I meant today. Stop being a jealous turd" And with that I walk out his room saying "Mom wants me home, see you in an hour" over my shoulder.
