A month later I walked into the kitchen and seen my aunt and uncle looking depressed and tired. I looked at Darek and seen him looking upset. I wanted to rush over but that would give us away. At that point I didn't care. I ran up to them and said "What's wrong?"
They looked up at me and I said "You can tell me."
My mom came in and said "Rue honey we have to tell you something."
"What's wrong?"
I looked up at my mom and she said "Their pack was attacked yesterday."
"Is everyone okay? Is there anything we can do to help?"
"Honey...there's no one or nothing left of their pack."
I looked at my aunt and uncle. They nodded and I seen Darek look at them. I didn't care anymore. I ran to Darek and took his hand. He pulled me to his chest and I said nothing. What was I going to say?
'I'm sorry you lost your pack, your house and your belongings?!'
I don't think that would help any.
I rubbed small circles on his hand and asked "So...what now?"
"They'll be living here with us."
We looked at my father.
"We couldn't do that."
"Your family. Family lives in the pack house."
I said "We insist. What kind of family would we be if we left you to go rouge? Not very dependable family. Please stay?"
They agreed and I followed Darek out the room. He still had my hand and we walked up some steps. We made it to his room and laid on the bed. I crawled in next to him and said "Darek...say something."
He looked at me and I said "Darek-."
"My entire pack is gone."
I felt him lay his head on my chest and he started crying. I moved his hair and said "I know."
I kept going until he was done crying. I sighed and said "You okay now?"
He looked up at me and I smiled. He strattled me and I said "Hey."
"Hey."
He kissed me and I let his fingers travel down my body. Last night came back to me and I moaned.
"Want a replay of last night?"
I nodded. He gently kissed me and I smiled. He shoved a finger into my core and I moaned loud. He chuckled. We did this for every damn finger on both hands.
"Lunch time."
He removed a finger and we went downstairs for lunch.
We sat down and we served ourselves.
'Did he even wash his hands?'
'I think so.'
I shurgged and looked at him. He got a little gravy on his finger and looked at me. He sucked on his finger and I tensed. He smirked at me and said "I like the flavor."
"Thanks hon. It's beef flavor."
'I don't think he was talking about the gravy Rue.'
'I know he wasn't talking about the gravy.'
I smiled and said nothing. I winked at him and his smirk grew.
'If he wants to play that game...we can play.'
After lunch I went and changed into my swimming suite. I grabbed popcicle from the fridge and asked "Mom...where's Darek?"
"Outside next to the pool."
