The Girl Who Runs With Wolves

Chapter 12

It's been 2 days since I've seen Scott or Kit. I think they got the hint when I didn't answer any of their calls. I called in sick to work so I could have a few days off, and I've been camping out in my room watching Netflix and sleeping.
Anytime someone calls I ignore it. Maybe it's selfish to shut people out but I moved here to start over and I'll I've done is make a mess of things. A few days ago I found my self happy to be flirting with Kit, maybe even secretly wishing from him kiss me. But when he did kiss me, it didn't feel right. I felt like I was betraying Scott for some reason.
Maybe I do have feelings for Scott, but it's not like I felt nothing when Kit kissed me. I did feel something there. Maybe I'm just over analyzing this.
A loud knock on my front door startles me and I hop out of my bed. I open the door to come face to face with Scott. He waltzes right in like he own the place, well I guess he does own it technically. "Scott, what are you doing here? It's late, almost 11." He sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
I notice the bags under his eyes and how distressed he looks. "Scott, what's going on?" I ask. He just walks toward me without saying a word and wraps his arms around me tightly. He Burris his fair into my hair and I feel him breath in deeply.
      "Scott. What is going on?" I say slower this time. He pulls away. "You weren't answering and I understand why but as the Alpha I'm responsible for the safety of all the people who look up to me." He turns to leave but I grab his arm and stop him. "Scott, when are you gonna take off the mask and be a real person?"
      "Annie, I don't know how to be real." He says. I take his hands in mine. "The day you said you were falling for me. That was real, Scott. Just be you for once, that's all I ask." Maybe that's what I want. Just something real. Not something perfect or conflict free, but real.
      Scott grabs my face. "Annie, I'm going to say this now because I feel that I have to. I never got to tell Ariel, and I will regret it for the rest of my life but I will not screw this up with you." I gulp nervously and shuffle on my feet.
      "Scott, what are you saying?" He steps closer to me and I can feel feel his breath and my face. He slowly placed one hand of the side of my jaw and move it to hold my head. With the other hand he lifts my chin up.
      "I love you, Annie. I know it's happened so fast but I'm sure. I don't expect you to feel so strongly yet. But I had to tell you." I just stand there, unsure of what to say. Is this what I want?
      Scott chuckles, "Nice pajamas by the way." Then he slowly leans down and kisses me softly. When he pulls away and I stare into his eyes. I figure I can't let him do all the talking so I say, "I'm gonna watch Frozen if you care to join."
      Scott laughs, a real laugh and we sit on the couch together. "You know I've never seen this movie." He says. I smile, "I thought you hadn't. What would all the other wolves think of their alpha watching a children's movie?" I tease. Scott's gives me a look, "This is staying between you and me."

      I wake up the next morning on the couch with Scott surprisingly still beside me. I stretch lightly and stand up. "Annie", I look back at Scott to find him awake and staring at me. "Spend the day with me, Annie."
"As much as I would love to I have to work today." I sigh. Scott smiles, "Well lucky for you Zelda owes me a favor." I tilt my head slightly to the side. "How exactly do you know Zelda?" I question. "She's an old family friend", is the response I get. Good enough for me I guess.
Scott drives us to a building he called the pack house. A place for any pack members who don't have homes of their own. It's also where his office is as well as the offices of the main soldiers and his second in command, Jake.
I sit with Scott in his office while he does work and at one point I almost fall asleep. "I can tell you're bored out of your mind. We're going to lunch with Jennifer and Landon soon." Scott says when my head nods off for the third time.
      I sit up. "Like a double date?" I ask. Scott puts down the papers he was reading. "Do you want it to be?" I squirm and shrug, "I don't know." I say. Would going on a date make things official? Are we already official? "What do you want, Annie?"
      I look up from the floor. "I don't know really. I think if we go on a date I would like it to be just us. Not that I'm saying you need to ask me on a date or anything, like if you want to I would be cool with that so..." I realize I'm rambling.
      Scott just grins, "So you do want to be with me." I groan inwardly. Way to go Annie. Be a freak. "Maybe. I don't know." I say and slink back into the couch. Scott just laughs as I send him death glares and curse myself for being so weird.

------
So I thought I would share with you guys, when I'm working on updates about 50% of the time I type Scott I look and it says "Scoot" so if you're reading and find a random Scoot in there somewhere I am so sorry! I read through a scene that should be serious and it said "Scoot" and I just busted out laughing.
So what do you guys think about Scott and Annie? Comment to let me know!
