Red Moon

Chapter Eight: An Old Friend

The dinner ended and everyone started clearing the table. I started with the plates and took them in to the kitchen, Liz took the set of plates from my hands. "No, no you don't need to clean. Please make yourself at home. Are the twins staying also?" she asked smiling.

"Oh no, Camille has taken them to Sam's now" I said.

"Oh okay, well go and make yourself comfortable. We'll finish this in a flash" I smiled before walking out of the kitchen and into the lounge, where Onyx and some of their cousins were surrounded the large television.

I sat on Onyx' lap on the recliner and watched the movie. Slowly one by one the young ones went off to bed and Camille had come back. "Sam says to call her when you can tomorrow" she said sitting down on the couch. I nodded and continued watching the movie.

Soon it ended and we all head off to bed. It's amazing how many people they can fit in one small house. Onyx led me into a room with light grey walls and dark carpet. It's a big room for just one person!

It had a big bed in the middle of the room against the wall and cupboards along the wall behind me, leaving a gap in between for a doorway for the bathroom and walk in wardrobe. The whole wall on the left was glass letting in the moonlight. My bags sat at the foot of the bed. I walked over to my bags and started unpacking my suitcase. I put all my clothes in the right side of the cupboard while Onyx had the left and put all my shoes in the bottom.

I put all my toiletries and other things in the bathroom and got into my pyjamas. While Onyx went in for a shower, I spent that time on my laptop emailing Hilary and Jezebel. They were coming down tomorrow to spend some time with Peter and William. They were also staying for a while since the boys would have to tell the girls about them being their mate. Onyx soon came out only in a towel. I couldn't stop looking at his upper body. His chest and arms were so masculine and strong. I quickly looked away and went back to emailing the girls on my MacBook. I heard him open the cupboard and get changed into a pair of tracksuit pants. He climbed in bed next to me and brought my face closer to look at him. I blushed again only this time not looking away.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked. He nodded and laid his head in my lap. "Does Jackie hate me?"

He looked up with his eyebrows pulling together in confusion and laughed. "Well, yeah but that is only because she can't get what she wants"

"She wants you?" He nods and laid his head back down. "She has been in love with me since forever but when I met you and imprinted on you she's been a mess. She's being selfish though, she has Jake."

"So you both have imprinted but she isn't happy with who she has?" I asked confused to get what he was saying.

"Pretty much. Don't worry about it though. She'll get over it eventually"

I closed my laptop and put it on the bedside table and snuggled deeper into the blankets. Onyx moved his head onto the pillow this time and pulled me closer to his chest. "I love your family," I said smiling.

He smiled back "And they love you too Rayne. I think they love you more than me" he joked.

"That's not possible." he smiled and out of nowhere his lips are on mine. I kissed him back and we pulled apart looking at each other.

"What was that for?" I laughed.

"I love you, Rayne," he said quietly. My heart skipped a beat; he had never said that to me.

I brought his lips to mine again and this time it lasted longer. He pulled me closer until there is no space between us. "I love you too." He smiled and leaned in to peck me on the cheek and holds me against his warm chest.
