Ignorance is Bliss. Wait, Scratch that....Innocence is Bliss.

Ch 14 :* :D

Vanessa’s POV:

“Mmm” I moaned as I stretched my body out like a cat and rolled over to the other side. I gave a loud yawn, and opened my eyes to check the alarm clock on the bedside but I couldn’t tell the time, the numbers were just a blur of red. So I squeezed my eyes shut tight and then opened my eyes and saw that it was 6:14 a.m. Wow, it was that early?

But then again, I couldn’t really be surprised. I mean for some reason I hadn’t been able to sleep too well, so it wasn’t a total shocker that I had only slept a few hours in total.

I groaned and snuggled back inside the blanket, trying to go to sleep again but it didn’t seem to be working. On top of that I felt a light caress of somebody’s warm breath against the back of my neck again and again so I rolled over to see Daniella sleeping deeply, her hair in her face and she was snoring even if it was barely audible. Next to her Aria was curled into a little ball fast asleep as well. I smiled. Riley was asleep on the makeshift bed on the ground, but it looked like she was doing some kind of weird dance because every two minutes she would change her position to get comfortable.

My eyes flitted to the spot next to Riley for Genevieve but she wasn’t there. Where did she go? Frowning I scanned the room only to find her sitting on those wheely type of chairs, playing games on her Ipod, spinning around manically and giggling to herself. I rolled my eyes and grinned lifting the blanket off of myself and getting out of the bed, making my way over to her. Deciding to surprise her I abruptly grabbed the back of her chair pulling her to a stop and her head shot up and she squealed shocked. She saw that it was just me and then she gave me a bright smile and I smiled back down at her. “What are you doing up so early Jen?” I asked to which she responded with a shrug. “I couldn’t sleep.” She said. Huh, so she couldn’t sleep either. I wonder why. Before I could ask her anything though her eyes brightened and she pointed to me and then her Ipod excitedly. “Look! I made a new high score!” Gosh, she was so cute! I thought to myself. Just like a little kid on Christmas morning.

“That’s amazing Jen.” I ruffled her hair lightly. She shot me a grin and then stood up. “So what do you want to do?” She asked me.

“I don’t really know.” I told her honestly.

“How about we make sets on Polyvore?” I shook my head. “I don’t want to. And plus I don’t even know how to!” I said.

“I’ll teach you! Its super fun, I promise.” She replied, giving me the puppy dog eyes. Grudgingly I agreed and she dragged me over to the laptop enthusiastically. And that’s how we spent the next couple of hours. It was surprisingly really entertaining making sets on Polyvore, not to mention that time flew by quickly. By the time we were done with the next set it was 9:30 and by that time Daniella and Aria had woken up as well. “So how did you guys sleep?” I asked them. “Good.” Aria responded and I nodded. But Daniella’s response was a bit surprising. “Riley and I slept like hell.” She said annoyed.

“And why is that?” Aria asked her.

“I don’t know why but it’s a mate thing. Wolves just can’t stay away from their partner for too long. Haven’t you notices how restless we become when we don’t get to see the guys in between some of our classes in school?” she asked. I nodded vigorously. Boy do I remember. They would get all depressed or snappy, depending on the time gone by. “Well, it was like torture being away from them for so long, especially since we feel this pull towards them throughout the night and because we feel more comfortable and safe sleeping with our mates. Even mates that haven’t been marked feel the separation and emptiness but for a mated wolf it is even more difficult.” At that Genevieve got a thoughtful look on her face as if she had just made a big discovery but I was still confused. I mean, that explains why they slept so badly but what about me and Jenny.
