Chapter 9

~Meagan~

After pulling myself from the floor of Stiles' basement and as the pain subsided I decided that I'd had enough training for one day, and began to pack up my things. On my way up the stairs into the living room, Stiles called out my name. After the thought I just had I might as well talk to the man.  

"What is it Stiles?" I ask as nicely as I can. "Can I give you a ride home?" He offers and I take time to consider the situation. "Sure. I'm too tired to walk home and I figure you own me one after two hours of your dad beating me up." I responded with a small smile. Stiles tried unsuccessfully to hide the smile spreading across his face as I climbed into Roscoe and he shut my door.

After about five minutes of the radio on low, I couldn't take the awkwardness between us. I turned in my seat and looked over at him and took in his profile. His whiskey colored eyes focused on the road, the light tapping of his fingers on his steering wheel, and the signature Stiles smirk. "Can I help you?" he asked me as he noticed me looking at him. Simply hearing the husky tone of his voice after such a long period of silence made the butterflies in my stomach start to swarm.

"I have a couple of questions." I said horrified at the slight tremble of my voice. "And they aren't about The Moon." I continued so he would know that I am being serious. I apparently had either the perfect timing or the worst, because as the statement slipped from my mouth he pulled into my driveway. Stiles put Roscoe in park and turned to look at me, questioningly. 

"Scott has study hall and Mom is working the afternoon shift so we can go inside and talk without anyone hearing." I told him as I got out of the Jeep and headed for my house. 

Once we were inside, Stiles settled on the couch but I was too nervous to sit so I stood by the fireplace and steeled myself to ask the one question I had been dying to ask  since I found out the truth about that night. Why? Yet as I turned to face Stiles he cut me off before I could even get the first word out of my mouth. 

"I'm so sorry." He said as he stood up and I froze mid-breath. 

"I never wanted to hurt anyone, especially you. I'm sure no apology will ever suffice for what I've done to you, but I just had to tell you because you are the most important person in my life and if anything happened to you because of me, I would literally go out of my freaking mind! I have never wanted anything but good things and happiness for you Meagan. When I saw you in the woods my heart literally broke into a million pieces and I couldn't bring myself to leave you. I have been keeping these feelings to myself because I thought you hated me but I cant hide any more..." He paused and his next words completely shocked me. "I love you Meagan. I've been in love with you since the third grade." 

His words filled me with hope and pain and before I knew it the tears were falling from my eyes as I crossed the room and slammed my lips onto his and kissed him. I felt his shock at first but then I felt him melt into the kiss as I let all of my anxiety and fear and hurt flow through me into that one kiss. As I pulled back from him I looked  up into those whiskey brown eyes and smiled. 

"It's about time you big butt." I said with a sassy smile. "I have waited three years to hear you say that to me." With a smile still on my lips I stretched onto my toes and kissed him again. 

At least I know he feels the same way I do... And boy does that feel good to know. 

As the hours ticked by I forgot about The Moon and that awful night and fell deeper in love with him with each kiss. 

"Oh, by the way." I said when we were cuddled up watching a movie.

"I love you too Stiles." 

He looked down at me with the biggest smile  on his face and kissed me once more.
