Sinders Arise

9 The truth revealed

The next couple of weeks pass by in a blur. Monday through Thursday I go to Nash's house to train until 7:30 at night. Friday through Sunday I would 'sleep in' - In other words I would wait for Nash to wake up - Than I would go to Nash's house around lunch and come home around 9:30. I found myself looking forward to my training sessions. With each passing day I grow closer to everyone in the pack. Except for Seth. I honestly think he hates me. When I mentioned it to Nash he just said that it's not true and that he will come around sooner or later. I have got to say it kinda hurt that he stills hates me though. It's around 6:45 Friday night and we are practicing on my physical hand to hand combat in human form when my phone vibrates. I hold up my phone and check the message.

Get home. Now! Nanna had sent.

Okay. I send back.

I sigh and pull on my sweats and a long sleeve sweater to hide my body suit. I turn to Nash.

" Nanna said I have to go home. She's upset." He walks up to me and takes my hands. I find myself wanting, hoping, wishing that he would lean down and kiss me. We haven't kissed since the night at the pond. Since our first and only date. I know it's because we have been busy or exhausted or crowded by the pack. It's been literally killing me. Every time I think he might kiss me something happens or someone interrupts us and our lips never actually touch. It doesn't help when he smiles either. Every time he smiles it just makes me want to kiss him that much more. The more I think about it the more I want him to kiss me. But instead he leads me out of the training room and to the garage. Once we are alone he spins around to face me.

I know you have been wanting to kiss. I have too. Really really badly. But we have been so busy. I want to make it up to you. The pack goes to this club every once in awhile. How about next weekend we go to the club? Maya and Lillie can help you get ready and you can meet us guys there? Please say yes Melena. I want to make it up to you. He says in my mind. I look up at him. He pleads with me silently with his eyes. I bite my lip.

Sounds good to me. I tell him in my mind. I stare at his lips willing him to lean in and kiss me. I bite my lip inviting him to kiss me. He grins his eyes lingering on my lips. I know he can read my thoughts so I make sure to picture him leaning in and kissing me. He smiles and leans in closer.

My phone beeps. I check the screen. Nanna.

Nanna: Where are you?!

Me: On my way.

Sheesh. I am really starting to regret teaching her to text. We get on Nash's motorcycle and a couple minutes later he is pulling into my driveway. I kiss him on the cheek before running into the house.

" Nanna? Pop's?" I call out.

" In the living room." I head towards the living room cautiously. Nanna and Pop's are seated on the couch side by side. Nanna points to the chair across from her. I sit down folding my hands in my lap.

" Wha-" I start but they cut me off.

" What's going on Melena?" Nanna interjects.

" what do you mean?"

" You are always coming home late, You are exhausted when you do come home, and you are never really home to begin with." Nanna ticks the facts off on her fingers. Each one hit's me like bullets to the chest.

" So?" I ask impatient. My anger getting the best of me. She made me come home almost an hour early so she do that whole 'what's Melena up to?' thing. I'm tempted to get up and go call Nash to come and pick me back up. I consider this for a moment but decided not to bring him into this mess. I hate that they are so suspicious all the time. I mean I go to school, I do my homework and I get good grades. Can't they be happy with that like all other guardians out there? The last time I checked I had all A's and no missing work. I can't believe they are still angry for nothing.
