The Golden Flame Volume 1

Chapter Five: That's My Mate?

Jennifer's P.O.V.

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN A DEEP SLEEP

I had been running. I no particular direction either. It wasn't a sprint or even a jog, I was just running.

After sometime before I knew it, I arrived at a small lake. Would probably be considered more of a pond. It was quiet, and very beautiful, it was like a hidden oasis. I slowly step out of the tree line and begin to make my way to the water. I lean down about to take a drink when I felt like I was being watched. I hear the smallest snap of a branch and snap to its direction.

A large dark figure stands at the tree line. I could tell by the shape it was a wolf but I couldn't see anything else besides their eyes. A beautiful crystal blue. It was just as though his fur was darker than black. Like maybe I wasn't meant to see his fur or pattern.

The wolf looks at their self, probably curious to know what I was looking at. I moved swift, silent and fast to be standing in front of them by the time they looked back up. I started to sense the wolf was a male. Has his gaze slowly rose to mine, I got locked into them. I could tell he was smiling but his eyes... They were so beautiful and so mesmerizing. I was snapped back to attention when I saw movement in the corner of my eye.

His tail was wagging, I couldn't help but find it absolutely adorable I couldn't help but laugh a little. My body was beginning to be uncomfortable, it felt as though I wasn't close enough like my body even wanted to get closer to him. After my laugh he left out a noise that I would describe as he loved every bit of what was happening.

He starts to slowly walk closer to me, I could feel my spirit going crazy to for him and for fun. So I decided to enticed him to play and he accepted. I wanted to learn if I could trust this would. I wanted to learn if I would truly believe he meant me no harm. He chased me around the lake and we wrestled quite a bit. I felt like a young kid again. I hadn't had that kind of fun in years.

It the confusion of us wrestling, he manage to pin me. I felt an overwhelming desire to show him affection, I licked the side of his face, watching as a fat grin landed on his face. He looked down and met his gaze with mine. He closed his eyes, reaching down and rubbing our noses. It was as if sparks were shot through my body after his touch. It was so intense, I couldn't help but love the feeling, I desired to feel that such thing again. I hadn't even noticed how loud I was purring.

I felt my body beginning to wake up. It pained me to have to leave so soon. I didn't want this to stop. It was so peaceful and I was so happy. I was... happy..

I gave him a look of guilt before getting close to his ear, "Good night my prince," he was silent till I hit the tree line,"No, Angel please! Come back!" I look back at him for a final time tonight.. I was subconsciously purring. Everything in me was telling me not to leave but somehow I knew it was time to go. I look to the wolf to see he's once again got a fat grin on his face. I tried to smell for his scent but nothing. I hope I run into him again. I smiled and headed into the would.

EARLY MORNING

Lunch was a blurr, I couldn't get that dream out of my head.. his eyes were so captivating... he had a deep voice that sent shivers down my spine just thinking about it. I wish that night never ended.. my spirit was purring at the thoughts as well.

Today I get to fix up the diner. As I am walking in, I hear little foot steps behind me, I look down to see Caleb following me, I smile and held the door open for him. He excitedly came prancing through the doors.

Once Caleb finally came inside the door, I closed it and looked around. Wow.. this is a fixer upper.

Its in an 80's style, American diner that has a long counter and a few small tables where people can sit and eat. '50s jukebox to the vintage bar stools and classic green, red and orange colors, The retro decor features vinyl banquettes, laminate bar tops, patterned tile flooring and chrome & neon accents with orange, red and green booths along the windows. I could tell that when this place was at it's prime, was a hit, absolutely beautiful. A lot of the cushions were ripped, the counters needed work. The bar taps needed to be replaced. The neon lights no longer worked. Dust layers, covered the diner. The walls were chipping and the doors were ready to fall off. I got my hands full with this one.
