Chapter 23: Cuddles

Logan

After making our cake, I had curled up on Johnny's bed and I must have fallen asleep, because I was startled awake by a loud slam, followed by yelling. I heard Johnny chuckle under me and I blinked the sleepiness out of my eyes while looking around.

"You alright, pretty girl?" Johnny asked and I glanced down seeing my legs intertwined with his, my head had been resting on his chest and his arm was around me and he was running his fingertips on my shoulder.

I felt calm and at ease, like I didn't have a sister who hated me or a whole pack who hated me, that I wasn't crazy and that I was a normal teenager, relaxing with her cute boyfriend on a Friday night. 

Never thought I'd be that girl.

"Are you okay?" Johnny asked gently, taking in my silence. He moved his phone away from his face to look at me and I stared into his green eyes and rubbed mine again.

"Yeah. What was that noise?" I asked groggily.

"The boys, they went to the store to grab some stuff for the party. Finn and Blondie get a little excited when they have to plan a party. Sam is down there with them." He told me and I think he was expecting me to get up and leave, but instead I curled into him more, laying my head on his chest and warming up from his body heat. He tossed his phone on the bed next to me and put his other arm around me, securing me tightly to him and I couldn't stop the smile that went across my face.

"Are you cold?" He asked.

"No, you're just warm and I like it." I said, sighing happily and shutting my eyes.

"They also brought home some food." He whispered and at the mention of some food, my stomach growled loudly and I shot up, stretching out my neck and back and I looked down at the clothes I napped in.

"Guess I am wearing this to your little party tonight." I admitted while moving off of his bed and he looked me up and down.

"You look great. Now, let's go grab something to eat." He said standing up and I followed him downstairs like a little puppy and to the kitchen where Ryan was putting stuff away while the guys set the table.

"You guys made cake!?" Blondie asked excitedly while pulling it out of the fridge and I chuckled at his reaction.

"Yes, but you have to have actual food first." Johnny said sitting down at their large table. Fast food was set all over the table and my stomach growled at all of the arrangements. Werewolves were big eaters and I was ready to devour everything. I sat down in between Sam and Johnny and I began loading my plate.

"Lilith was asking for you today." Sam said nudging my elbow and I frowned confused before laughing.

"Lilith Youngblood was asking for me? You sure it is the same Lilith we know? The one that I fought?" I chuckled.

"You kicked her ass." Finn grinned.

"I know, it was weird, but she was asking where you were." Sam said while glancing at me and I looked into his blue eyes and he definitely was totally serious.

"Why?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"She didn't say much. She looked pretty upset when I told her that you went home."

"You didn't tell her who I went home with?" I asked him and he grinned while reaching by me for a piece of food.

"No, she seemed like she wanted to talk to you. She's coming tonight, figure I'd warn ya." He said and I stared at the table as I chewed slowly. Why would Lil want to talk to me? What was this about? I glanced down at the clothes I was wearing, baggy jeans and an oversized shirt. I would prefer something a bit more flexible than jeans, what if she wanted to fight? I could go for a fight right now-

"You alright, Lo?" Ryan asked and I looked up as everyone stared at me curiously and then they glanced at my plate and I realized I wasn't paying attention and I loaded all the fries onto my plate as a mountain.

"Oops." I whispered while shifting the plate over and making it a designated fry plate and I grabbed a new one and focused this time.

"I wish I wore better clothing, I don't really like to fight with jeans on. What do you think she wants? Like why would she suddenly want to talk to me? Do you think my parents have something to do with this? Oh! It was probably Landon and Lincoln getting her to talk to me, they want me back in the pack-"

"Logan." Johnny chuckled while placing his hand on top of mine. I stopped talking and glanced down before shaking my head.

"Sorry, I just don't understand what she could want. I don't like this. I feel like if I talk to her, I'd end up fighting her." I admitted.

"Logan, it could be nothing. Lilith is all bark and no bite." Finn assured.

"Maybe...I don't know. Gods people piss me off." I sighed shaking my head. They laughed at my expense and I smiled sheepishly. I felt like I was a part of a big family with these guys. I haven't had a dinner with this many people. It was usually Jake and Dean and I or I sat by myself at the Youngblood pack. But now it was all of us, sitting and laughing. No one was arguing with me or calling me names, it was fun.

"Alright, let's go get the alcohol out!" Blondie yelled while getting up and running down a hallway.

"Where is he going?" Sam asked.

"The cellar. Come on, we'll help him." Finn said gesturing for us to follow. We walked down into the cellar where rows of alcohol and numerous cases of beer were stacked and my eyes widened while looking at all of the expensive drinks.

"Wow, are Blackwood's alcoholics or...?" I asked confused.

"We have a lot of meetings and our parents like having wine and liquor with their dinner occasionally." Johnny explained. Finn carried some cases of beer upstairs with Sam's help and I grabbed bottles of vodka and tequila and brought it upstairs as well.

"Hopefully no one gets alcohol poisoning." I whispered while placing the bottles outside. The boys bought bags of ice and they had numerous coolers and buckets that they would fill up to keep the drinks cold.

"Let's set up the beer pong table! I wanna take you on Sammy!" Blondie yelled running inside and I laughed, he was pent up on energy it was crazy.

"Tonight should be good." Johnny smiled as we walked back inside.
