Wyatt and Wendy

Chapter 23

Wendy

          I punched in Wyatt's floor number and leaned against the mirror processing everything that had just happened. Annie, the siren we had thought was a vampire was a ghoul and she had tried to take my friend's life. For obvious yet unknown reasons Wyatt had ran out of the room at unnatural vampire speed. He had let all his guards down allowing me access to his emotions and thoughts, something he never did. Our bond was weakening but in the moment the wall came down, I felt everything he did and it took all I had to not break down and cry or thrash about. Instead, I stormed out of the room taking deep breaths headed to Wyatt's room in pursuit to calm him down to bring down my emotions. According to his raging thoughts, he was on his way to his room.

I knocked on the door softly even though I felt like I wanted to punch a wall.

          "Hi Karl, is my brother here?" I asked when he opened the door.

          "Nope" I nodded my thanks and began to walk away.

 "Wait Wendy"

"Yeah?"

          He grabbed my hand and smiled "I just wanted to say that the whole dare kiss thing might have been weird but I really like you."

"I really like you too Karl" I said automatically. His smile widened and he pulled me into the room.

          He pressed me against the wall and met his lips with mine, every emotion I felt from Wyatt immediately disappearing.  We kissed in the dark my hands lost in his hair, his hand sliding up my shirt tracing the outline of my bra. His lips were soft and warm like a heated comforter that you wanted to wrap around yourself forever. This kiss was definitely better than the last one yet still not electrifying. The light turned on and we jumped apart, "okay then" Wyatt said walking past us to his bed.

"I came to see if you were okay", I said smoothening out my shirt completely embarrassed. "Well I'm fine," he said putting his hands under his head and closing his eyes. "Then I'll be going now" I briskly walked out of the room, not looking back.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Roxy exclaimed when I told her about the kiss. We were walking to school among a herd of students and although I tried to keep my voice down, I was convinced she was purposefully raising hers.

 "Well I wish I was but I am not."

"Wendy has a boyfriend," she sang.

"Doesn't this kind of bother you I mean he is your ex."

She smacked her lips together "honestly Wendy after Bridget..." she her voice faded away and she seemed to lose track of what she was saying.

"...after everything that happened to between the two of us over Wyatt I really don't want a guy to get between me and my best friend ever again, it’s stupid. Besides I'm with Wyatt and even though he won't answer my calls or texts right now-" she clenched then unclenched her teeth "everything is great. I honestly love him and we all know that supernatural love is forever."7

I glanced at her "what have you never seen or read twilight?" she said defensively.

"But I don't even know what to do between him and Matthew."

"Well if you really like Karl you'd completely forget about Matthew and if you really like Matthew you'd completely forget about Karl. So it all comes down to whom do you like more?"
