The Hales

Chapter 2

As I'm waking up, I begin to notice a heat source squished against me on the couch. I peek out of one eye to see Isaac snuggled into my chest. He's so adorable; like a little baby wolf. I love my pack but Isaac is my favorite. I think I'll go make breakfast for Baby Wolf and Sourwolf. I peek at my phone and see it's actually 3 o'clock. Make that a late lunch then. I try to get up without waking him up but he whines in his sleep and wraps his arms around me in a death grip. Looks like I'm staying right here for a while.

Derek comes into the loft sweaty and breathing heavy. He goes to the kitchen, to get some water I presume. Then he comes into the living room to see the predicament that I'm in. He stares at us for a while and I can't read the look on his face. For some reason he starts growling, or maybe it's more like purring. I clear my throat and whisper, "If you don't mind helping me out here, that would be nice." He snaps out of his weird moment and pulls me off the couch. First Isaac crushes me and now Derek is holding me to his chest. Wait.... Derek is holding me to his chest! I wonder why.... Who cares!? I could get used to this.

He's rubbing his nose into my neck. He's totally scenting me. What does this mean? Does Derek like me? Does he know that I like him? Stop asking questions Stiles. Just enjoy this. Right. Right. "Mate...mate...mate...mate"

Why is Derek repeating the word mate? Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I'm his mate! I am Derek Hale's mate. How in the hell am I supposed to be Alpha Derek Hale's mate!? I can't do this. God I can't breathe.

"Stiles calm down. Your heart is beating way too fast. Breathe Stiles!" He says as he sits me on the couch. I see Isaac's awake now.

"Mate... Your mate..." I say between deep breaths. I look into his eyes and I can see it. He probably won't say it again but I can see the truth in his eyes. We stare at each other as my breathing slows down. What do we do now?

"Sooo what happens now?" Isaac mimics my thoughts from the other end of the couch. I'm gonna let the big guy answer this one. Me and Isaac wait for an answer but all we get is his face caterpillars crashing together in thought. I raise my own eyebrow after a few more seconds. 

"We... date...?" He asks unsure. I swear the Sourwolf is blushing. That is so cute. I wonder what else I could do to make him blush. Heheh... Oh wait, he asked me a question.

"Sure. Yea. Totally. When?" I finally spit out. The corner of his mouth twitches as he fights a smile. 

"Now." He says with more confidence. "Let's grab something to eat and go to the park or something." Did he just say or something?  What does that mean? I'd like to do a few "or somethings" to him... Focus Stiles.

"Sounds good. Let's do it." Fuck. "I mean lets  go out!" Better. 

"This is weird. I like it, but definitely weird." Isaac yawns before going upstairs. Derek begins to follow him after a second.

"Go home and dress decent. I'll pick you up in two hours." He commands as he walks up the steps.

"Aye aye Sir." I say as I grab my keys and head home.

Okay. I've showered, brushed my teeth, styled my hair, and said inspirational quotes in the mirror. Black and blue flannel shirt? Check. Jeans that make my ass look gorgeous? Check. Wallet, keys, phone? Check, check, and check. Only thing I'm missing is a Sourwolf. I'm so nervous, but I'm also excited. I'm Derek's mate and I always thought I didn't have a chance with him. Mates are forever. Does us being mates mean that he likes me too? If so, how long has he liked me? What if he doesn't really want to be mates? 

God, I'm gonna sike myself out before we even get through the first date. Just as I'm about to start pacing my living room I hear a knock on the door. I quickly run to open it which results in me running into the couch and having to limp the rest of the way there. When I do finally open the door Derek is already giving me the "What's wrong with you, you klutz?" face. So of course I just flash him a huge smile and lock up the house. 

He opens the car door for me and I'm squealing on the inside. Manly squealing I mean. He gets in the car and we pull off. It's different being alone with him and knowing we're on a date. I hope this goes well.

"So where do you wanna go?" He asks me after a while. 

"Any place with curly fries." I tell him eagerly. We pull up to a burger joint in town and as we walk to the door his shoulder softly bumps into mine. His heat is nice.  

Hi Wattpaders and fellow reading enthusiasts. Sorry about how short this chapter is. I promise to not be lazy with this like I am with everything else in life. Anyway the next chapter will be all about their date and I was wondering if I should continue it in Stiles's POV or switch to Derek's. You can comment and let me know which one you'd like and I'll try not to disappoint. 

Until next time ^_^
