A Taste Of Love

Chapter Twenty

Lexi's POV;

Groaning I rubbed my eyes as the sun shone through the windows. My nose was stuffy and my eyes felt sticky from crying yesterday. Swinging my legs over the bed I tried to get up but was being held down. Panic coursed through me and I screamed which was followed by a loud thump.

Picking up the pillow I held it in front of me as I poked my head over the side of the bed.

I giggled as I saw Ryan sitting up staring around, his hair was sticking out in all directions.

"Why were you in my bed?" I asked sitting on the bed and staring at him.

"Err...well... Icouldn'tsleeplastnightsoicametosleepinhere" he said quickly, his cheeks turning pink like mine did.

"What did you say?" I tilted my head to the side staring at him. He still looked pretty in the mornings.

"I said I couldn't sleep last night so I came to sleep in here" He mumbled as he pulled himself off the bed.

"oh"

"I'm sorry, I should have ask-"

"no it's fine." I plastered a fake smile on my face.

I hated to admit it but that was the best sleep I have had all month. He saved me from my usual nightmare. But he made this harder for me to leave. I really didn't want to go and it didn't help that the wolf in my head always made an argument not to leave.

Sighing I turned away from Ryan and walked towards the closet, pulling out my outfit before walking into the bathroom.

I showered and slipped into the blue flowy skirt and blue singlet with matching blue flat shoes. I left my hair down and brushed my teeth before walking out.

Ryan had left the room so I quickly locked it before running to my closet and grabbing some clothes. I didn't want a repeat of last time. Pulling the bag out I threw the clothes in and pushed it back under the bed. Standing up I straightened the clothes out and unlocked the door before heading downstairs.

"I'll meet you outside your class and we can go to lunch together" Ryan smiled as he dropped me off to my English class; he didn't have this lesson with me and neither did Holly.

Nodding I turned my back to him and walked into the room.

"Ahh miss Jones, welcome. Please take a seat next to Ethan" The young male teacher as I walked through the door.

Turning my head I began to walk over to the boy the teacher pointed out as Ethan. There was another boy sitting opposite to him; he had black spiky hair like a hedgehog and green eyes. Ethan had yellow hair with brown eyes.

Pulling the chair out I quickly sat down and stared at the teacher. We were learning something about poems, I quickly became confused and decided to draw on the paper in front of me.

"It's really good" I heard a deep voice whisper causing me to jump.

Glancing up I saw Ethan staring at the flower I had drawn, they were the ones growing outside of Ryan's house.

"Thank you"

"no problem. I'm Ethan" he grinned at me.

Glancing to see if the teacher was looking I replied when I saw the teacher was busy.

"I'm Lexi" a smile slipped onto my face.

"This is Tom" he pointed to the guy opposite who just nodded at me.

I could smell they were not human but I didn't meet them when I was shown everyone in Ryan's pack.

"Are you human?" I whispered quietly to Ethan making sure no one was looking.
