Under The Red Cloak

Chapter 5

Little Red Riding Hood's P.O.V

...What a weird dream...

I stretch under the warm blanket then get up. The cold air hits my body and I already start missing the bed.

I go to the bathroom and go through my daily routine: I wash my face, brush my teeth, brush my hair and put it up in a tight ponytail. I go down with the weird dream still in my mind.

"Good morning mom." I say and yawn.

"Morning sunshine." She says with an amused look. "Did you sleep well?" She asks, putting on her jacket. I nod and come down from the stairs in front of her.

"You are already going?" I ask, rubbing my right eye.

"Don't worry. I'll be here by 5 o'clock."

"Yeah, and that's definitely not a lot. Just around 8-9 hours." I exclaim sarcastically. She smiles while raising her eyebrow and cross her arms.

"Don't be like that. I only work two days every week so it's normal to be out for so long." She said and took her purse.

"I guess you're right. I will soon go to grandma's." I said and took an apple from the kitchen. She nodded and opened the front door.

"I'll be going."

I nodded then remembered she couldn't see me. "Okay."

I heard the door close. I looked at the table and saw my eggs with bacon in the plate beautifully placed there. I sat down.

"I'll see you soon."

Ugh! Why do we need to meet again? I don't wanna meet him again. That's creepy..

I play with the fork and get the last cherry tomato in my mouth. Yummy.

I take my plate to the sink and run upstairs. I quickly dress up in my favorite dress and wash my teeth again.

I go down and take the little basket and put the paint and sketchbook in. Taking my cloak and keys, I open the door and go out. Before going in the forest I lock the door.

I am thinking of Breeze again.

"Hi there."

"Whoa!!" I shout and almost fall. I look at the figure in front of me and see him hanging with his head down from a tree. "You scared the hell out of me." I say with my arms crossed, looking annoyed, but I wasn't. I felt my cheeks heat up a little. How embarrassing, I'm blushing.

He made me remember my first kiss.

He chuckles. "Sorry for that." He said. "Oh. Also, I wanted to give you this." He tells me and hands me a phone. "I know it's not the best but..." He said putting his hand on the back of his neck. "...I wasn't sure when is your birthday, didn't know if you had a phone and wanted to take your number." I look at him surprised then back at the phone.

His feet let go and with a flip like fall he lends on the ground.

"It's IPhone 4. As I told you already, it's not the best-"

"Nah. It's just fine. Thanks." I say with a smile. When did he start caring so much, I wonder.

"..My birthday is in July anyway.. " I whisper under my breath. "I uh..! We should go." I say, walking past him.

"Mhm" He said with a creepy but handsome smile of his. Ugh! Why am I even thinking of him?? We are almost complete strangers!!

..Stranger...Made me remember the dream I had last night..

"Oh. I also told mom a little about you." I say.

"Pff. Just a little?" He said and pat my head. I slap his hand away.

"Don't touch me. Anyway. Didn't you say you wanted my phone number." I say just to change the subject.

"I already have your number." He says, and takes out his phone.

"Huh?? B-b-but that makes no sense."

"Well, I mean. I bought the phone. Of course I took your number." He smiled in victory.

I decided to run for the phone and quickly take it out of his hand then ran.

"Hey!" He yelled as he ran after me.

I looked at the phone and searched for the contacts. I find myself and quickly erase it. Then "OW!!", I hit a tree. Breeze takes my hand and with a pirouette I bump in his hard chest.

He takes the phone and whines disappointingly."Aww. You already erased your number.",while I have a mini heart attack. "Oh well." He says and lets go of me. I immediately push him to keep a bigger distance and with my still shocked face I stay in a defense position. Breeze blinks twice then shows an amused look. He chuckles.

"What's so funny??"I yell, annoyed.

"And you say I'm a perv?" He asks once more looking amused. I open my mouth but nothing comes out. Awkward.

I turn around and walk of. "Let's just go."

Breeze's P.O.V

"You are sooo slow! Why can't I just carry you? That'll be a lot faster." I whined. I put my hands both of my hands on the back of my head and closed my eyes.

"No thanks." Red said in her sweet but quick voice. I opened one of my eyes to see her. She had her arms crossed and she looked quite annoyed. Why is she always crossing her arms? It starts to piss me of.

"What are you smiling at?"

"Hm? Me?" I ask.

"Yeah, you. Who else? Stop smiling because it's creeping me out." She says in her usual grumpy tone. I lean closer and hug her from behind letting all my weight on her. "Ugh! You are heavy!!" What she said made my smile bigger.

"You are just weak" I say and i hear my wolf growl. Uh oh. Shouldn't have said that.

"WEAK??" She yells and with her foot she hit me in my stomach. I scatter with my hand on my stomach with an amused look.

"Ouch." I say still amused. It didn't really hurt however I think she is strong for a human girl.

"I bet it didn't hurt at all." She says, disappointed.

"Not at all." I smile.
