Kristin seemed to get the idea and I felt like we had an unspoken agreement. During school she kept to her new circle of friends and only nodded in my direction when we passed in the hallway. It was just a light nod with the smallest smile, and I instantly knew that Kristin was helping to keep my reputation perfectly intact.
She seemed to understand which was unnerving and part of me wanted her to be offended by my weird behaviour, and never speak to me again. Actually that was exactly what I wanted, for Kristin to keep hee distance because I couldn't.
You're pathetic. My inner wolf snarled.
"No you're pathetic!"
The smell lingered in the air: vanilla, strawberries and coconut. Kristin was by the old bridge near the river and without a second thought I started walking towards her. I had to make sure we were still okay, even though I was sure we were even after I scared the crap out of her the other morning during her run. It was like there was some other supernatural entity controlling my actions.
What happened to the big badass wolf?
"I'm still here," I muttered to myself as I walked around the trees and over the plants, weeds and bushes. I knew the woods like the back of my hands. I could close my eyes and still go straight through the middle and get to the other side without any problems.
My footsteps became silent as Kristin came into view and I stayed hidden from her sight. She was sitting on the edge of the old bridge facing the water and I couldn't help but wonder why she favoured that bridge so much. The new bridge was well new and much sturdier and safer.
I was never going to understand women.
Creep... creep.
She was so focussed on the water flowing beneath her that I had gotten right up close without Kristin noticing my presence.
"Be careful you don't want to fall in," I warned as I grabbed her shoulders and jerked her forward just enough to get a reaction. I wasn't cruel enough to actually push her over the bridge although it could have been the push she needed to stay away from me, at least for a little while.
"What can I say I live on the edge," She laughed and carefully swivelled her body so she was facing me. I had to give her credit she had amazing balance. Most people would have fallen over board into the water at the attempt.
"Right," I snickered.
"In fact last night I was banned from seeing you but here I am," She slid off the edge of the bridge onto her feet.
"So why are you here than?" I knew Kristin wouldn't stop seeing me if she didn't want too, and again part of me wished that she would stay away for her own safety.
"Like I said I like to live on the edge," She shrugged and took two steps towards me.
"So this is goodbye than?" I tried to sound serious like some pathetic idiot from one of those horrible chick flick movies my sister was always watching, although I couldn't hold back the snicker.
It was useless.
"What makes you think I give a damn about what my mother has to say?" She closed the small gap between us in one step and I didn't walk away like I should have. I didn't want to even though I needed to.
"I don't know," I made sure not to stammer but it was difficult. She was messing with my brain. I couldn't think clearly let alone talk in big sentences.
She smiled and stood on the tip of her toes and I let her make the first move that way I could walk away if I gained the strength. I felt her hands as they reached for the back of my neck, and then her lips were pressed against mine as well as her body.
I wasn't going anywhere!
My arms wrapped around her instinctively as our kiss grew deeper. It was the kind of kiss that took your breath away and made time stand still. Everything around me became very distant until all I could hear was our hearts pounding. The guilt stopped suffocating me, and the thought of Paige didn't cut through my chest like a knife. Paige was my first girlfriend and she would always be with me but I couldn't stay away from Kristin.
You make me sick dude. My inner wolf growled.
I ignored him... me. The moment was a total cliché but it was amazing. Her lips were soft against mine and her skin was warm and smooth beyond belief. As I inhaled her scent the rest of the world seemed to disappear completely.
Even though we barely knew each other it didn't seem to matter to either of us. Although I was disappointed at how quickly I caved considering it felt like only moments ago that I was completely against any type of a relationship with another human.
"Not bad maybe a 6 out of 10," She smirked after she pulled away. Her lips were hovering just inches from mine and I wanted to kiss her again no... I needed to kiss her again. I hadn't had my fill yet.
"Oh come on I'm easily an 8," I somehow resisted my urge and was proud of myself for gaining back some control over my body.
Maybe you're not as whipped as I thought.
Just shut up! I silently scolded my inner wolf.
Kristin smirked but didn't talk, instead she walked to the edge of the river where she had been sitting just moments ago and I started to worry that I was a horrible kisser and had scarred her for life.
"Usually I'm not up for the whole girl talk thing, but for you I will make an exception," I took a few steps and stood by her side but she still didn't talk and I was starting to worry just a little bit.
"What are you like dying or something?" I asked sarcastically and hoped my assumption was incorrect.
"Nope not dying just thinking," She sighed in frustration.
"Well you obviously aren't thinking about our kiss otherwise there would be a smile on your face," I tried to hide the fact that I needed reassurance. I needed to know if it was the kiss that she was unhappy about.
Oh my god you're turning into a girl. I just felt our balls shrivel up and die.
"The kiss isn't the problem. There's no problem."
"That's a lie," I heard her heart beat unevenly as she said there was no problem and I knew she was lying.
"I'm not... I'll be fine."
"It's about your dad isn't it?" My Grandma had told me about Kristin's parents, and how her father was left behind.
"It's everything. My mom is a bitch and I didn't even want to leave with her."
"So why did you?"
"My father won't let me stay with him because of her because he thinks mom needs us which is bullshit since she doesn't need anybody but herself," Kristin practically screamed and kicked at the frail railing which split on impact.
She inhaled and exhaled loudly before she faced me and I didn't know what to say. I didn't do deep and meaningful not usually.
"You sound like you need to punch something."
"Are you offering your body as a punching bag?"
"No."
Hell no! Anger was a trigger and would most likely force me to shift which would've ended up with Kristin either being injured or I would've lost all control and mauled her to death which was something I was trying to avoid.
"Well I suppose there is something else we could do that would release some tension?" She smirked suggestively and I wanted to kiss her there and then and make her mine but something stopped me.
She is throwing herself at you and you're not going to do anything about it?
"Well maybe another time. I'll see you at school tomorrow," Kristin replied and left in a hurry leaving me to kick myself right in the nuts. She was going to think I was the biggest idiot in history. I had just given guys all over the country blue balls including myself.
The kiss with Kristin was all I could think about as I laid on my bed. I had just finished eating diner but my appetite was far from fulfilled.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" I sighed. I wanted a time travelling device so I could go back in time and kiss her again and not let her walk away, but I felt like I would've been taking advantage of her.
Tap...tap...tap, "Honey, there is someone to see you," My mother knocked before she opened my door and stuck her head in.
My heart practically leapt from my chest in hope that it was Kristin and I immediately jumped to my feet only to be met with disappointment.
My heart sank instantly as I realised it wasn't Kristin waiting on the front porch. I could smell the woman from the second floor hallway but she did smell familiar.
"What can I do for you?" I asked as I opened the door and stepped out onto the dimly lit porch. She had the same dark hair and blue eyes as Kristin and I gathered it was her mother and I knew I was in trouble.
"Hi I'm Courtney Kristin's mother but you already know that don't you?"
"So why do you want to talk to me?" I crossed my arms.
"You need to stay away from my daughter."
"With all due respect-" I started.
"Listen carefully. I want you to stop seeing my daughter," Courtney interrupted and practically growled while her eyes shined a bright yellow, although she didn't scare me even though she was older and stronger than me.
"Your daughter and I are just friends and I'll stay away from her when she tells me too."
"She doesn't know any better and you need to stay away from her before you hurt her, or worse you kill her. You should know how easy it is to get carried away and to shift unintentionally. What if it happens when you're with Kristin? I mean it stay away from her!" Courtney snapped before she walked away and got into her car.
I wanted to scream and yell at her. I would have never hurt Kristin ever. Not accidentally and not on purpose.
I controlled my wolf it didn't control me.THANKS for reading! Did you enjoy it?
