Changes

Chapter 9- The Bonding

"I'm not sleeping on the floor." I said firmly for the 100th time.

"Well neither am I so we both are sleeping on your bed then." Matt said, dropping himself down on my bed. The nerve of this boy. He comes into my house; my personal space and behaves like he owns it. We've been arguing for about half an hour now about where he sleeps because we didn't have a guest room. I was so close to exploding again but he kept giving me adorable smiles and 'accidentally' touching me to keep me calm. I was surprised I didn't cave as yet. It was so angering, funny and cute all at the same time.

"Okay I have a solution!" Jason chimed, by the doorway. He and May had it easy. He listened to everything May said enthusiastically, without question. It's probably just because he is trying really hard to win her over, but who cares? Why couldn't my idiot be like that? Yes, I know what I said.

"What is it?" Matt asked in a bored tone.

"You" Jason pointed to Matt "are sleeping on the couch downstairs." I teased Matt as soon as I heard Jason's words but it was like they both were having their own conversation. I stood there looking back and forth at the two boys.

"Umm excuse! What's going on?!" I asked a bit loudly, waving my hands trying to get the boys' attention. They finally snapped out of their trance-like state.

"Oh uhh... We were speaking telepathically." Matt explained. Wow.

"Really y'all could do that?" I questioned now forgetting everything else.

"Yeah wolves and members from the same pack are mind-linked so they can talk to each other like that." Oh that's so cool. Telepathy.

"Wait, what were you talking about that I couldn't know about?" My eyes narrowed to both the boys, Matt now standing by the doorway with Jason.

"It was nothing." Jason said frankly pulling Matt out the door and going downstairs.

It was 11:37pm. I couldn't sleep. I've been tossing and turning for about 2 hours now. I felt so uncomfortable. I was missing something. What? I had no idea. I finally willed myself to get off the bed. Probably some water will help?

As soon as I opened my bedroom door that scent hit me. Mmmm pine and chocolate. Where was that coming from? My senses now alert with the scent wanting to find the source desperately. I followed it through the hallway and down the stairs, stopping at the last step. It must be coming from the kitchen! It's pine and chocolate after all.

I inhaled deeply again but to my surprise, I detected the scent coming from my right. The living room? What is that scent doing in the living room? I walked to the centre of the room to find Matt lying awake on the longest couch.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" I asked apologetically. He sat up.

"No it's fine. What are you doing here?" he questioned. Should I tell him? I took a quick breath in and it felt like I was in the middle of the scent. It was so calming but I still felt like I needed the source of it in my hands.

"Uhhh... Oh! Nothing. Sorry. I-I'm going back upstairs." I stammered, trying to get out of the situation, slowly walking out. He chuckled.

"You couldn't sleep and was looking for the scent, weren't you?" He asked knowingly. I stopped, turned to him, walked back and sat on the couch with him.

"Do you know where it is? Where I can find the source?" I asked somewhat excitedly, hoping to get some answers. Oh, it'll be heaven finding that.

"Why don't you take a sniff again" He suggested with a smile. I complied and inhaled deeply again, closing my eyes in the process to enjoy the wonderful scent filling my nostrils. It was the strongest I have ever smelt it. When I opened my eyes, I saw Matt's jawline. What the hell? I quickly pulled away, confused and feeling the need to defend myself.
