The Other World

Chapter Fithteen: Damon's Mum

I wake up to an empty bed, Damon must of left. I roll onto my back and stare at the ceiling. What the hell am I going to do about being a werewolf. I haven't really talk to Jordon because I can't risk my eyes glowing. That reminds me, I have a few questions for Damon.
"Hey gorgeous, what's on your mind?" Damon says as he walks out my bathroom. He must of had a shower when I was asleep. I sit up and lean against the back board of my bed.
"I was wondering why my eyes glow at random times?" I ask him. He walks over and sits down.
"Your eyes don't glow at a random time, just when your adrenaline kicks in or when I glow my eyes at yours" he explains.
"So...cheer leading I assume is off the table?" I ask.
"Yup, but only till it's under control"
"Great, no cheer leading or boyfriend since I have to ignore him" I say while laying back down.
"Or you could just tell him" Damon suggest.
"Only once I have it under control, I can't risk hurting him." I explain to Damon. He nods at me and then gets up off the bed. He walks over to my door and winks at me before heading out.
"Damon, your going to get me in trouble" I tell him. But he's already gone so I chase after him. In the time I make it to him he's in the kitchen. Talking. To. My. Mum!
I am so dead
"Joyce, you never told me Damon's family owns a beach house" my mum says. Obviously loves the idea of a rich friend.
"It never came up" I say back.
"Well you and my mum should go there for the weekend and get closer. I would love for our family's to be friends" Damon tells my mum.
"That sounds lovely, in a matter of fact. I will talk to your mum now" My Mum says heading out the door. As soon as the door closes, I give Damon a death stare.
"You could've got me in trouble!" I state.
"Could've But didn't" he smirks at me.
"Whatever, I'm going to get ready for school" I say making my way to the bedroom.
"I ALREADY TOOK A SHOWER BUT...I CAN STILL JOIN YOU!" Damon yells while I'm just about to close my doors.
"NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!" I shout back.
******
School was pretty fine and how it is usually. I stayed away from everyone but Damon. He's the only one who knows everything about me. I sat next to him and the wall at every class and recess and lunch was hanging out with him.
I hope he doesn't get sick of me

I'm walking home with Damon and we are talking about the trip when someone shouts out to me.
"JOYCE" yells a girl. I turn around and it's Hannah. She is in a slutty perky dress and has too much makeup on, her hair looks dead too. We stop and wait for here to catch up.
"What do you want?" I ask already annoyed by her presence.
"I just want to ask you why your such a whore?" She ask like it's nothing.
"Excuse me?" I say furiously.
"What? Your cheating on Jordon with Damon...right?" She says. I go to fight her but Damon stops me.
"Okay bye now Hannah" says Damon. He chucks me over his shoulder.
"Put me down Damon!" I shout.
"Nope" He says and pops on the P.
"I can't believe she would say that. What a bitch" I say. Damon chuckles.
"Close your eyes" he orders. I do so as I'm told and cover my face in his back.

He puts me down, "you can open them now" he tells me. I open them and I'm really close to Damon and we're in his room.
"I almost blew my cover, by that rodent!" I say angrily.
"Your eyes are glowing again" he informs me.
"Sorry it's Hannah, she just makes me so mad!" I vent.
"Don't let her get to you, she just wants to get under your skin"
"Well, it's working"
"Breath" He says while bringing me in for a hug. He rest his head on mine and I dig my face into his chest. I breath in and out slowly.
"SWEETIE, IM HOME!" Shouts a women from downstairs. We pull away from the hug.
"It's my mum." He tells me. "Come with me and meet her" He invite me.
"You sure?" I ask him nervously.
"Yes, she is going to love you" he tells me.
He grabs my hand and leads me down the stairs to the kitchen. I see a women who looks pretty young to have a child. She has emerald green eyes and blonde hair that's tied in a bun. She is around my height and seems to be making dinner.
"Hey mum" says Damon.
"Hey sweetie, who's this?" She ask while gesturing to me.
"I'm Joyce, your neighbor" I inform her.
"Oh, I've met your mum. She is so lovely and she speaks very highly of you" she tells me.
"Thank you, you seem very nice and your very pretty" I say back.
"Thank you" She says.
"So are you going to the trip this weekend?" Damon ask his mum.
"Yup and your mum is very thrilled to go" she tells me.
"Well, work can be stressful for her" I explain. "Plus being a single mother" I add.
"I'm so sorry about what happened to your father"
"Thank you" I say back.
"So you and my boy dating?" She ask.
"No" Damon and I say at the same time.
"I'm dating Jordon" I tell her.
"A vampire? How is that working out for you?" She ask. I look at her surprised, then I wonder how she knows about me.
"How did you know I was a werewolf?" I ask.
"I can smell it right after I ask about you two being a thing and your eyes lit up" she explains. "It's alright, I can keep a secret"
"Thank you, do you know if my mum knows anything about werewolves?" I ask her.
"No, she is clueless. Trust me I dropped major hints" she assures me.
"Joyce do you want to stay over for dinner?" She offers.
"That sounds lovely, but tonight I have to study for a test" I explain to her. She nods and continues with cooking dinner. Damon walks up close to me from behind and whispers in my ear.
"Let's go study in my room" he whispers. He takes my hand and leads me upstairs.

We have been studying for hours and non stop. It's a math test tomorrow and math is the hardest class in senior year level. I'm sitting on the end of Damon's bed with my legs crossed. He's sitting with his back leaning against the beds back board. While I'm reading through a question Damon kicks my back softly. I look behind me and he's reading like he has no idea what just happened. I get back to reading them he taps me again. I ignore it and then he taps me again.
"Damon, stop tapping me" I say annoyed. He looks at me like he's clueless.
"I'm not but whatever" Damon says. He reads again so I get back to reading too. I was answering a question in my book when he taps me again. I ignore it and then he taps me again, then again.
"Damon stop tapping me with your foot!" I say.
"I'm not" He says.
"Yes you are!"
"No!"
"Yeah"
"No"
"Yeah"
"Okay so what if I am. What are you gonna do about it?" He challenges. I turn around to face him and raise an eyebrow at him. He smirks at me and puts his book down on the nightstand.
"I'm going to make you wish you didn't do that" I tell him. I smirk at him and then crawl over to him on all fours. I put are faces inches apart and I make my lips hover over his. Then out of no where I tickle him. He starts laughing like crazy, I love his laugh. It's deep but welcoming at the same time. I laugh at how ticklish he is while still tickling him.
"I'm..going to..get you" He says while laughing like crazy.
He flips us over so he is over me and he has pinned my arms down. He puts my arms in one hand and with his over hand, he tickles my hips. I laugh and I try to wiggle my way out of his hold, but he is too strong.
"You had enough?" He ask. While are faces are inches apart.
"Yes, I surrender" I say.
"Now you know to never tickle me and never tell anyone I'm ticklish." He tells me. He hovers his lips close to mine and almost when we were about to kiss my phone rings. I technically jump off the bed and answer my phone straight away.
"That was my mum telling me that she is going to be out all night" I tell him.
"Want to sleepover?" He ask.
"No Damon, I have a boyfriend remember" I tell him.
"Sadly" he whines. "How am I suppose to protect you 24/7 if your not with me 24/7?" He ask.
"You don't need to protect me" I remind him.
"Yes I do and what if you have a bad dream, who is going to comfort you?" He reasons again.
"Damon I'm a big girl, I can handle nightmares" I tell him.
"but you shouldn't have to handle them alone" He says.
"Night Damon" I say back.
"Night gorgeous, sleep tight" he sighs in defeat. I climb through the window since it's quicker. When I enter my room I wave at him before closing it behind me and shutting the curtains.
