The Pack Slut

twenty eight

It was 2Am when I heard the front door creek open, alarming me that someone was entering house. I opened my eyes slowly, peeking at the tv screen in the dimly lit room to recognize that it was 2Am.

"Eve?" Kal called out semi quietly. "Are you still awake?"

My eyes started blankly at the pg-18 cartoon that usually started playing after midnight. My eyes began to water as they weren't used the the darkness of the room contrasting with the bright tv screen.

"Eve?" He called again, setting some stuff on the counter in the kitchen.

"Here," I mumbled quietly, knowing that with his wolf hearing he should be able to hear me perfectly fine.

"I'm sorry," he said, making his way towards me, then crouching in front of me, successfully blocking the tv and replacing it with himself.

"I'm sure you are," I mumbled once again, closing my eyes, so I wouldn't have to look at him and also because I was half asleep. "You could've called."

"You don't have a phone," he said.

"You could have left a message with the person who brought the food," I said. "Oh wait, you didn't do that, did you?"

"Shit," he said once again. "Fuck. I forgot."

"I know you did," I mumbled. "I'm not going to get angry with you. I'm tired. I have no energy to fight. You're probably sorry, I know how it goes."

He sighed, sitting himself properly in front of the couch. "I feel asleep on my desk around 8 and I woke up about 20 minutes ago."

I did nothing but grunt as my body adjusted to the fact that sleep wasn't happening anymore.

"Okay," I said minimally, more snappy then intended.

Then slowly, I saw his eyes take on a more hardened look and his jaw slightly tighten. "I keep fucking up, Eve."

"I know," I said again, softly, controlling myself. "I know."

"It's not too late for me to explain everything, right?" He asked, his jaw still tight.

"Well technically," I started tiredly, "since you're late, I get to fuck Jax-"

He growled loudly. "There's no way in hell-"

"You made a promise," I said, even though I in no way desired to have sex with Jax. "Sometimes it's too late."

He sighed again, creating a silence for a couple of moments. "Let me take you somewhere."

I glanced over at the clock hesitantly, "Kal, it's like 2Am. Where could you possibly-"

But he was already up, grabbing the keys, some water and a jacket. He tossed the jacket towards me as I stood up from my place at the couch. It smelled just like him, and I couldn't help that I liked it.

"Don't worry," he said, placing his large hand on the small part of my back to lead me out the house. "It's close...ish."

It felt like seconds before we were on the road driving to an unknown place. I couldn't help the drowsiness that took over as I allowed my eyes to rest, and Kal to continue on with this in-the-spur-of-the-moment trip.

I felt the car stop as Kal pulled the cars position into park. "We're here he said," opening his door and king to open mine.

I groggily opened my eyes to be meet with the darkness of outside combined with the nighttime's chill.

2:26am, the cars clock read.
