Chapter 8

His phone buzzed twice more but he ignored it until he passed out.

After he woke up at around 1pm he slowly looked back at it.

(So did you want to go out sometime somewhere?)

(Kit? Did you fall asleep?)

Kit slowly shook his head and went into the bathroom to do all his necessities. He came back out with his comb in his hair as he started texting a reply.

(Yes I did... pretty sure it was mostly from shock and not being tired.)

Kit finished combing his hair just as he heard what sounded like a phone buzzing outside his front door.

He had a sneaking suspicion as to whose phone it was.

He dialed Chances number and the phone outside his door rang.

"Kit? *yawn* good morning why are you calling me?"

"....To ask why you are outside my front door."

There was a pause before the man answered.

"Well you didn't text back right away and I got worried. I came to check up on you but noticed that you had just fallen asleep."

"And...how could you tell that!?" Kit looked around his apartment in panic wondering if he had broken in while he was asleep.

"Ah I could hear your heartbeat and breathing were slower than if you had been awake....may I come in? I am interested in learning about you and how you live."

Something inside him spiked dangerously, his fear elevated as his anxiety over having someone in his safety zone reared its ugly head.

"...no...."

He heard Chance sigh.

"Well can you at least come out then? So I can see that you are ok?"

Kit frowned.

"...I don't want to. " Kit mumbled.

"Well then I suppose I will just have to wait here even longer, your neighbors seem pretty friendly I guess I can converse with them."

Horror overtook Kit.

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN OUTSIDE MY DOOR?!"

"Since you fell asleep...around 5 am?"

Kits jaw dropped.

"Are you trying to make me seem like a woman that kicked her boyfriend out!"

"I'm pretty sure your neighbors would know your gender?"

The vast majority of his neighbors had not even seen Kit and that was just how he wanted it.

"....If I come out will you stop hanging around like a looney?!"

"Sure." Kit could hear the smile in the man's voice and he sighed in frustration.

"....Is there anyone outside right now apart from you? Anyone standing at their window staring at you?"

It took a moment for Chance to reply.

"Nope coast is clear mate."

Kit rolled his eyes and shoved on his shoes before slowly opening the door to be met with a grinning Chance.

He cautiously took a step outside and half hid in a bush beside his door frame nervously.

"I'm completely fine." Kit mumbled out and rubbed the side of his arm, feeling his panic start to grow.

Chance frowned.

"Why do you smell nervous? You were nervous the first time I saw you and the second... but you didn't know I was there the first time. You couldn't be afraid of me...is there someone stalking you Kit? Is that why you are nervous to be outside?"

Kit blinked up at him in confusion.

"Besides you no one is stalking me."

Kit rubbed his arm again both out of his anxiety and at how cold it was today.

He looked at the man and noticed he had no coat on.

Chance frowned in confusion and sighed.

"If someone is bothering you let me know ok? Or if you need something do not hesitate to tell me."

Kit just wanted to go back inside and wrap up in a blanket.

He suddenly wondered if the man was cold.

"....Are you cold?"

Chance blinked down at him and tilted his head.

"I am pretty ok....are you cold dear?"

Kit blinked at the dear part in confusion.

".....It's freezing out...you've been here since like 5am?!"

Chance nodded.

"Its alright....werewolves can handle the cold better than a human can."

.....But still 5 am! Kit thought.

Kit scrunched up his nose in frustration and looked back at his door while biting his lip.

".........................Fine........come in." Kit mumbled out and opened the door.

Chance looked at him for a moment before his face lifted and he stepped through the door.
