A Thousand Reasons Why (Rated R Version)

Chapter Two

I screamed as Trenton tackled the guy that was butt naked. Trenton and the guy fought for two minutes. Finally Trenton let go of him and looked at me. He turned back to the guy, who was now getting pants on.

"Why was he naked?" Trenton asked me.

"I-I don't know," I said. "I walked in and he was standing there."

Trenton shot the guy a glare. "Connor, what the hell were you doing?"

Connor stood and I saw that he had chocolate brown hair and greenish hazel eyes. "Sorry man. I just got out of the shower and was going to get dressed." He looked at me. "And then you walked in and wouldn't leave."

Trenton growled. "You wouldn't leave?" he questioned, clearly upset.

"I was just stunned and surprised," I said. 

He just shook his head. "Whatever. I'm hoping that image of him is long gone."

"Well it is," I snapped. "And why would I want to remember him naked?"

"Don't sass me, Elaine," he growled.

"Okay guys," Connor interrupted. "No need to fight. It's out of the way now, so stupid fighting." He walked out of the room and looked at me. "Who are you by the way?"

"Elaine," I said.

"Connor," he said.

"I know." I looked at Trenton who was glaring at Connor.

"She's my mate, Connor," he said.

"Well, no duh," Connor said. "I'm heading out now. I'll see you guys later." He walked away. I heard a door open and shut.

I turned to Trenton, who was looking at me already.

"Look, Elaine," he started, stepping towards me. He only took two long strides until he was right in front of me. His hand stretches out towards me and caresses my cheek. "This is a lot to take in, I know, but I promise you that it will be okay. And if I could make it better, we will go to your place and pick up your stuff, if you want. Okay? You can say goodbye to your parents."

I looked at him then, seeing that he was serious. Then I smiled and hugged him around his waist. "Thanks!"

He grinned. "Your welcome." His gaze moved to my lips and traveled back to my eyes. "I'm going to kiss you, Elaine." He bent down and his lips brushed mine lightly. Trenton deepened the kiss. His hands then gripped my waist. He lightly nibbled on my bottom lip and I gasped.

Finally we pulled away to breathe. I stared up at him. "Um, okay. We should go now," I said.

He nodded. "Yes. Before I lose control." He took my hand and led me downstairs.

We got to the garage and he got keys from a rack. One click on the button, a car beeped loudly. It was a sleek black mustang. I looked at Trenton wide eyed.

He just shrugged and went to the passenger door and opened it. Trenton gestured for me to get in and I slowly, hesitatingly did. I slid in as he did on his side. Once when he got in, he fired up the car and drove out of the garage. Silence filled the car. 

For the whole ride to my house, none of us spoke. Occasionally Trenton will look at me for a few seconds and turns back to the road.

Finally he parks in front of my house and jump out immediately. He sighed in frustration. 

I went to the door and rang the doorbell.

My mom answers it. She looks at me and smiles. Her smile was so fake. "Elaine, what are you doing here?"
