Leader Of The Pack

Ch. 5 Strange Mornings

The next morning I woke up with a weight over me. I looked down and it was Brandon's arm. We were laying in my bed cuddling and he was asleep.

My first thought was "Panic!" but instead I tried to slowly move away.  When I moved his arms tightened. "Oh God. What is happening right now?" I asked myself.

Suddenly he let go and started to stretch out his arms. "Oh no he's waking up!" My mind screamed.

But instead of him waking up he put his arms back down and rolled onto his back. I completely froze. Not knowing what to do I inched off the bed and tippy toed to the door.

Suddenly I heard loud knocks on the door. I swung it open just to make the loud pounding of the door stop.

"What!" I whispered.

It was Aaron. "I was hoping you might know where Brandon is. Mom's worried about him. She said she's been looking for him all morning." He said as he looked passed me.

His eyes widened. "Never mind I see you found him."

I wasn't sure what to say so I stayed quite. He gave me a look and I shrugged in response. "OK if you say so." He said questionably.

Right before I closed the door Aaron caught it. "So um, this is a bad time but when are you going to introduce me to your lady friend?"

"I don't know, later. Not right now that's for sure." I said quietly.

"And what are you going to do when he wakes up?"

"What do you mean?"

He grinned. "I mean he's gonna wake up sooner or later."

"I don't even know." I said looking back at Brandon.

He snickered and walked away. I  close the door quietly and heard Brandon say something.

"What?" I asked sluggishly.

He yawned. "I said how was your morning?"

"Um, it was fine. Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Why are you in my bed cuddling up to me?" I asked.

"Well last night you asked me to stay with you until you fell asleep. But when you fell asleep you kept randomly crying so I stayed. I was just sitting there but I got tired so I laid down. You cuddled up to me first and I kind of just went with it and fell asleep. Do you not remember it?"

"No. I don't." I said as I put my hand over my head.

He laughed. "Well you did. And you kept talking about a person named Hailey or something."

"What did I say about her?"

"You said "Trust me Aaron, Hailey is your mate. And Hailey, Aaron is your mate that's just the way of it."

I couldn't help but smile. "Really, I said that?"

He knotted. "Well your mom freaked out this morning. She thought you had disappeared."

His smile turned to a frown. "Really?"

"Yep, Aaron was here earlier. He said that your mom was worried cause she's been looking for you all morning."

"I wonder why?" He asked. After a moment he jumped out of bed. "Crap! I forgot!" He yelled.

"Forgot what?" I asked. He quickly put on his socks and shoes.

"I was going to plan stuff with my mom and she likes being on time and punctual." He said while he tied his shoe laces.

I've never seen him in such a rush. "OK, well I have to go. See you later." He said and he flew out the door.
