Green Eyes That See Red (NEW! UPDATING WHEN I CAN - 2019)

Sexual tension

The next few days Roman was hanging round with Peter more and more and the rumours about Peter being a werewolf continued. I was surprised Roman was still hanging round with him, I never saw him as the type to hang out with people who get teased for being something they couldn't possibly be, it would damage his reputation surely?

I was with Shelley and some other people I'd befriended outside the school gates at the end of the day when Roman honked at us and wound down his window.
"Shelley! Get in. And bring your pretty friend on your left."
He nodded towards me beside Shelley. Shelley looked at me with a smile,
"You know my brother likes you? He always asks about you and what you like and stuff."
Shelley typed. I just gave a polite smile and shook my head at Roman's offer.
"I have a ride, you go Shelley, thanks, I'll see you Monday ok?"
I smiled and patted Shelley's back. She looked a little sad but I couldn't ride with Roman when he made me so mad.
"Your tires are flat, that's why I offered."
Roman called from his window at me as Shelley climbed in.
"Wait, what?! How? They were fine when I pulled up this morning?"
I panicked then thought, Roman, he slit the tyres so he could give me a ride and annoy me like he loved to do.
"I'll pay for them to be replaced, no problem really."
Roman sarcastically smirked at me. All I could do was glare and give him a huff and climb in the car squishing tightly beside Shelley in the one seat.

"Mum's not home, you should come in. Hang out for real this time."
Shelley typed in her phone. I gave a weak smile and shook my head apologetically.
"I'm sorry Shells, I gotta go to my mum's friend's funeral tomorrow in the next town which is 2 hours away so I just wanna get home."
She smiled and gave me a small hug and I got out so she could get out, leaving just me and Roman.
"Why'd you do that? It's pathetic."
Roman suddenly said in disgust glaring at me. I furrowed my brows in offence and confusion.
"What? What're you on about?"
He looked even madder as he turned in his seat and leaned in so out faces were inches apart and his eyes bore holes into mine.
"Lying about going to a funeral just to avoid me. Avoid me fine, but you're the only friends my sister has."
Suddenly I realised Roman was mad cuz he thought I was lying to Shelley so I didn't have to come round their house. Instead of feeling defensive and mad at Roman's incorrect prediction, I felt kind of warm and saw Roman in a new light for a second as I saw how he could be protective of other people.
"I wouldn't do that. You should know I'm not one of those girls who makes excuses, I'm the type to just be straight and tell you. I really am going to a funeral tomorrow. I swear. I leave at 6:00. If you don't believe me, keep watching this road, you'll see my car pass."
I gave a soft smile and his face looked a little relieved and he ran a hand through his hair and smiled.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.. I just get overprotective of Shelley. Her and my cousin Letha are the only family I'm close to."
I nodded and gave a sympathetic look and moved some stray strands of hair from his forehead with a soft smile and his eyes latched onto mine with a look of lust which I hadn't really seen before and I bit my lip and felt I had the same look in my eyes. I tore myself away from his stare and awkwardly coughed causing him to snap his head back to the windscreen as he started the car up again and dropped me back to my house. I got out thanking him for the lift and he called out making me turn round before unlocking my door.
"What time will you be at he funeral?"
I was confused by his question but knew he always asked weird stuff so simply said,
"I'll get there at around 9am I guess."
He nodded and just drove off. Roman's always been weird so I didn't think much of it.

The next day I had to dress up all fancy, I didn't know my mum's friend who'd died but I had to go anyway. I wore my hoop earrings and two hoop helix piercings I always wore and did my makeup the same as always but with brighter red lipstick with a clear gloss on top. I wore a black cross choker and a black short dress with a black leather jacket and ankle strap heels, then finished with a few sprays of my Victoria's Secret body mist spray.
