Bitten by a Beta

13

The tap of the rain on my window made the wait for Theo to pick me up go by a little faster. I hum under my breath, tapping my fingers on my legs. I was still thinking about what Liam said.

Should I tell my mom? Or should I protect her by not telling her?

She wasn't getting home until tomorrow so I guess I had time to think about it. I'm sure she won't get mad, but then again she might.

I hear Theo's truck roar outside and I smile at him, watching him run up to my door. As he walks in, I walk up to him. I wipe the rain from his face and smile.

"Hi." I wrap my arms around him.
"Hey, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, what are we doing?"
"Something special. I hope you don't mind rain."
"Not at all." I look down to my skinny jeans and dirty converse.
"Let's go."

We begin running together, holding each other's hands, to the truck in the cold rain.

He lets go as I hop into his truck, shimmying the rain off myself. He hops into his side and we pull out of the driveway.

His hand goes to my thigh, just resting there. I let my hand rest on his, warming his cold fingers.

He stops in the middle of no where, the rain beginning to stop.

"What are we doing here?"
"Going on an adventure."
I laugh, hopping out of the car.

I walk over to him, looking around. I had no idea what was going on. He begins walking into the deep trees.
"What are you doing?"
"Just follow me." He holds out a hand.

I grab his hand and shiver a little.
"Are you cold?"
"No, I'm just scared. That's all."
"I'm here to protect you, it's okay."

We exit the deep woods and stop in front of a small cabin. It was beautiful, sparkling with lights.

"Theo, I-"
"It's great, right?"
"Yeah. How did you-"
"It's my parents, they said I could stay here this weekend if I wanted. It's only 10-15 minutes from Beacon Hills."
"I love it."
He looks to me, the lights glowing his face up just a bit.

"Theo."

He smiles, moving just a little bit closer to me. His arms go around me. Rain begins to drizzle over us.

"I love you, Kelli."

I smile really wide and his lips slam into mine as he lifts me off the ground, my legs slide around his waist. He held me close, making me feel safe and comfortable.

I stop kissing him and lay my forehead on his.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that."
"I really do love you."
"I love you too, Theo."
He sets me down as we begin walking inside.

I shut the door behind me as Theo turns on the lights, but not completely. It was slightly dark and light in here. A fireplace came on with a small mattress on the ground in front of it, with blankets and small pillows. I see scattered roses leading to it and look around.

"Theo?"

I begin taking off my shoes and sweatshirt. I set them on the ground next to me and look around, seeing nothing.

"Theo? Come on. This isn't funny."

I see him walk out of a dark room with just a pair of jeans on. I stare just a little bit and then look to his face.

"What's this? A show?" I smile.
"You can join."
"I'll take up on that."

I walk over to him and grab his shoulders, kissing him just a little, just before he grabs me and lays me on the mattress. I laugh a little bit at him and then kiss him once again.
